Charlie on The Super Bowl: Halftime Shows, Football, and Cultural Flashpoints

00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point, you would say college chapter. Go start aturning point youould say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am Lord, Use me. Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company. I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 00:01:09 Speaker 2: I guess today is Charlie Kirk, the founder and president of TPUSA. 00:01:13 Speaker 1: Charlie thanks so much. 00:01:13 Speaker 3: For joining us. 00:01:14 Speaker 1: I'm going to be here. Thank you. 00:01:15 Speaker 2: So I'd love to dive right into what's been going on with you, Lizy. Yeah, I think you cause a little bit of trouble during the super Bowl. 00:01:21 Speaker 1: You want to tell us about that? Yeah, I mean, look, I'll never apologize for like defending the innocent of children, innocentce of children, in which the Left has always tried to get rid of the innocence of children. And there's this super Bowl halftime show that I guess people liked whatever. I wasn't making commentary on the music. And if you watched the fifty cent portion of it, which is, let's just put it nicely, scantily clad women, you know, bending over like long snappers in a football game and being incredibly suggestive, there's no way you could say that that's okay for a six year old to see. It's the most broadcast event in humanity. One hundred and twenty million people are watching you. 00:01:58 Speaker 2: Why do you think that kind of content is being put out there? 00:02:00 Speaker 1: Well, I think that the Left wants to continue to hyper sexualize all activity. And it's one thing if it was like behind a paywall, or if it's like HBO Plus, Like I'm not gonna tweet about that, like whatever, Okay, I'll have my own opinions on it. But you put on network television. Yeah, when one hundred million people are watching, including five six or seven year olds, we're just going to kind of normalize that type of activity. And that's why I said what I said, it's sexual anarchy, which it is, which is a term that I've been using that I got from my friend, pastor David Engelheart, which is the sexual domain, no rules at all, just complete anarchy. There, no order, no tradition, no no right and wrong. We have all sorts of different sort of components there. And I said it shouldn't be a lot on network television, and I stand by that because network television should be a reflection of the type of society you want to live in. 00:02:41 Speaker 2: Well, you know what, it reminds me of all the craziness over Netflix's qties a couple of years ago. 00:02:45 Speaker 1: You remember that, Yeah, and that I mean that I think they got criminally indicted in a county or Texas or something, and that was really bad. But the argument could I mean that was like child pornography bad and pedophilia bad. It wasn't on network TV, right, and so we're talking about that one specific instance, and obviously, but like, look, you asked why going back to Huxley's prediction of everyone belonging to everybody and sexual restraint kind of getting completely eroded. It's been a deliberate goal of the left post nineteen sixties to make sexuality something that is not private or sacred, but instead widespread and normalized, and that actually creates really normal that creates really miserable people in a chaotic society. 00:03:25 Speaker 2: And that's so interesting because you know, we see so many examples of what you're talking about. Hookup culture is so prevalent, more and more gender ideology pushing for children to think of themselves as a different gender as young as a toddler. 00:03:38 Speaker 1: That's right. 00:03:38 Speaker 2: Why do you think that so much of this is being pushed on our youth and what effect will it have on the coming generation? 00:03:44 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm un afraid to say this is being organized on a supernatural level. I mean it's a spiritual war, no doubt. The enemy wants to have people have declare war on their biological reality and take them away from things that actually give them meaning and purpose. And so I think that this is being organized on a supernatural level. You know, people think that's insane. I say it while I'm a Christian, and I stand by. You can't be a Christian and not believe that, right, So that's a metaphysical part of believing in Christianity. But look, it's also that you ask the why. I think that there is a group of people that have sinned, and we're all sinners, but they somehow want to normalize and institutionalize it and act as if that it's okay. It might be a coping mechanism. I'm not really sure, but there's no way that you could say that, you know, twelve year olds getting sexual education courses or even having sex in general, or fourteen year olds is so good for society. It's awful. It's disgusting, it's wrong. We should say that more, and we should try to tell young people, Look, you might slip up, and you might make a mistake. That's okay, one hundred percent, grace, we get it. But try to save yourself from marriage, like at least try like make it a goal. Yeah, like that would be good. 00:04:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I always hear cheap USA talking about encouraging young people to get married, and I think that's really interesting. But something I keep noticing lately is, you know, you can get married, but that doesn't mean that. 00:04:58 Speaker 1: It's gonna last. 00:04:59 Speaker 2: So how how do we tell young people to marry the right person? 00:05:03 Speaker 3: You know? 00:05:03 Speaker 2: How do we how do we equip them to marry a good person? 00:05:05 Speaker 3: Yeah? 00:05:06 Speaker 1: I mean that I happened to meet the best person on the planet. I married her, So I guess I'm lucky or fortunate or blessed or whatever. That's a whole separate issue where men are super weak, they become beta males, and women don't want to marry them, and women have become men so they're super angry and men don't want to be with women that are really kind of like overly aggressive. And I get that feedback from both sides all the time, right, And I understand what I'm saying is politically in correct. I don't care just the way it is. There's a generation of like super miserable, mid thirty something women that are like, why does no one want to marry me? It's like okay, well, and then they say, you know, men are all awful. 00:05:42 Speaker 2: In terms I just saw TikTok a couple of days ago went viral of this thirty seven year old woman in La crying about the state of dating nowadays and how she can't find anyone she wants to marry. 00:05:51 Speaker 1: Yeah, and like, I will say this, though without getting preachy, if did you save yourself for marriage? Because if you do, then all of a sudden, you're dating pool opens up to other people that have saved themselves for marriage. 00:06:02 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:06:02 Speaker 1: Interesting, and like that's an interesting thing, right, Yeah, and people you don't even have to talk about that in society, like you're a prudish or whatever. Like, well, I think that it's that's a good goal. It's an ideal, right. 00:06:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, what's wrong with having goals? 00:06:15 Speaker 1: Well, I know, but I'm not trying to say you're a bad person if you've stepped I'm like that, I'm not getting pre like I'm not trying to like cond of like go after you in that way. But it should be something that we should like, Yeah, you know what, we should try to have more people. You're young people. I actually think they'll be happier, more fulfilled. And by the way, the data shows it, right, The data shows that young people that wait for marriage, are happier, they live better lives, they have more children, all of it. 00:06:35 Speaker 2: That's really interesting. So you know, as the leader of TPUSA, you're you're pushing for messages of fidelity and I guess monogamy right totally. Yeah, what else do you think is important for young people to know? Like that, What is the greatest thing that we're combating these days? 00:06:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think it's again, I think it's a spiritual component. But I also think that it's something that we must be you know, we can't get to kind of into our own doctrine where we're unafraid to talk to other people about this, right, and some people are still trying to get their lives together they've never kind of been exposed to this. But I also think that we shouldn't be okay with laws or public policy that makes it harder to get married and have children. Right, And so there are three things that create conservatives if we want to it's really simple. Actually, we want to create more conservatives. We should have more people want to own homes and property, get married, and have children. Those three things create right wingers, Like that's it. So why we're not talking about that or doing it is beyond me, like, well, why are young people socialists? They own nothing, they're not married, and they have no children. What are they conserving exactly nothing. It creates radicals actually, so that's a message I think that resonates with a lot of young people. We should make it easier to do those three things. 00:07:46 Speaker 2: And last question for you, are you hopeful about the state of the next generation of conservatives. 00:07:52 Speaker 1: Yes, I think that they're more concerned about these types of issues. I grew up in a conservative moment that was hyper libertari ten years ago. You probably remember it. It's become less so, and I think that's a good thing. I like the libertarians on a lot of different things, lockdowns, you know, gun issues, things like that. But I don't think that you can order a society towards meaning or purpose. If you tell an eighteen year old go do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it, and you're somehow going to be happy, it actually creates miserable people. Most times. Some people might be able to figure it out, God bless you, but you'll actually probably end up twenty six and you know, unmarried and you own nothing and you're wondering where your purpose and the cosmos is it creates an existential crisis. Actually, and I don't think we have to recreate the wheel. If you will, there's thousands of years of biblical tradition that has allowed people to have meaning, which is the three tide nod of what came before you, what's happening now, what's going to happen in the future. 00:08:44 Speaker 2: All right, well, Charlie, thank you so much. We're so grateful for you for ten with us today. 00:08:48 Speaker 1: God bless thank you. 00:08:52 Speaker 5: We're honored to be partnering with Alan Jackson Ministries and today I want to point you to their podcast.

Forward slash Charlie. 00:09:54 Speaker 6: So we could either talk it's obviously the NFL is starting tonight, or we could talk of about debate debate. 00:10:02 Speaker 1: Well, so let's just ask a question. Are you guys excited for the NFL season or is it just like too woke for you to watch? 00:10:07 Speaker 3: I feel like i've so I started off when I was a kid. 00:10:09 Speaker 6: I was a fanatical fan of the NFL, and like I would cry when the Packers lost, and it would just a year like, oh, two thousand and seven, I think was the one that was like really weight on me. 00:10:20 Speaker 1: That was when Brett Farr was still there. 00:10:21 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Brett Farr. 00:10:22 Speaker 6: And then because he loses the last game on a pick and I was like, all super sad. 00:10:26 Speaker 1: Threw as many touchdowns as intercept Yeah, yeah, you know that. 00:10:28 Speaker 6: So I used to get real. I lived and died by this. And then when the anthem protest started happening with Kaepernick. 00:10:34 Speaker 1: Around twenty, I disengaged. 00:10:36 Speaker 6: That's I also did the same. I thought, this is dumb. I'm going to prove that I'm not like ruled by cockball or whatever they started calling it then, And so I actually had a whole year. I didn't really watch it too and helped. Of course, the Packers were bad, and now I think I'm in a healthy spot of football is a fun thing that I can watch, but it's sort of lame to care about it too much. Brett Farve actually visited South Dakota in twenty nine. 00:11:02 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get him on the show. 00:11:03 Speaker 3: That'd be great but cool, but I saw when I went there, just to finished the story. 00:11:08 Speaker 6: I went there and there were all these men who were like substantially older than me, and they were still his Vikings fans here. So they were still really upset about that Packer Viking Saints game where Sean Payton had That was. 00:11:19 Speaker 1: Terrible, that was dirty, but that was the NC chance. 00:11:22 Speaker 3: They were really. 00:11:24 Speaker 6: Angry about it, like he does a Q and A and these guys who are forty five fifty years old are. 00:11:28 Speaker 3: Livid and far of himself. 00:11:30 Speaker 6: He's like, you know, I know, Coach Peyton, I don't think he meant, you know, to have I think he's a friend of mine. I don't think he meant to hurt me like that bad. And you know it's it's totally under the bath. And they're like, these guys are just seething over this and just a sport where men throw a ball and are played millions of dollars to do it should not make you that angry. 00:11:51 Speaker 1: But the Vikings never won a Super Bowl's. 00:11:53 Speaker 3: And they never will. 00:11:55 Speaker 1: You think so never. 00:11:57 Speaker 6: Childhood me believe that like God, God in his heavens, has decreed the Vikings will win a super Bowl. 00:12:04 Speaker 3: Fifteen percent believe that. 00:12:05 Speaker 1: Fifteen percent of Blake takes are hilariously wrong. When he's like, yeah, twenty twenty four is gonna be a boring year. Yeah, Trump get shot, Biden replaced, We're not even done yet. 00:12:15 Speaker 6: Yeah, and Vikings will never win a Super Bowl. Is one of the eighty five percent that are one hundred percent correct. 00:12:19 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken. The Cardinals never won a Super Bowl, right, Tyler. It depends on not not transformed somebody in Arizona. 00:12:26 Speaker 7: That's a bunch of yeah in Arizona. 00:12:28 Speaker 1: Okay, you can't inherit the super Bowl from Chicago. 00:12:30 Speaker 7: Well it was yeah, I mean you Chicago, and then it was it wasn't a. 00:12:34 Speaker 6: Super It was like they had a a they have a BS title. They basically stole from the posts. 00:12:38 Speaker 1: It was the world champion. 00:12:39 Speaker 6: It was nineteen twenty five. They didn't even have a title game. It was just best record and they didn't play the same number of games and. 00:12:46 Speaker 7: All that is the super Bowl era. 00:12:47 Speaker 3: They stole it from. 00:12:48 Speaker 1: The Packers won the first. The Packers won the first super Bowl. You know, my wife, Erica is from the Lombardi family. 00:12:54 Speaker 3: Real, is that right? 00:12:55 Speaker 7: Seriously? 00:12:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's royal. Her mom's a Lombardi. Literally, crazy, isn't it in? 00:13:00 Speaker 7: That's right? 00:13:01 Speaker 3: Like how how close like is. 00:13:02 Speaker 1: She like like direct bloodline. 00:13:04 Speaker 3: Like lineal descent from Vince? Wow, that's crazy. 00:13:06 Speaker 1: Yeah, we have all like all this Packer stuff at our at our. 00:13:09 Speaker 7: High I know that. 00:13:10 Speaker 3: Whoa, that's interesting. 00:13:11 Speaker 1: That is well and I'm from a huge Bears family, so I don't know who. Well, you know, the Bears have won a Super Bowl, but nineteen eighty five best team ever assembled? Yeap, and they have proved me wrong. Best best NFL football team ever assembled. 00:13:24 Speaker 6: You know that might be true? Yeah, thank you, it might be true. And they didn't win it lost. They know why they never won another one? You know why they never won another one? 00:13:32 Speaker 1: Jim McMahon. 00:13:33 Speaker 6: Yeah, because Jim McMahon got body slammed by a psycho packer and. 00:13:37 Speaker 1: Probably you know that was disgrace in Jackie Grease. Jackie Grease was the greatest NFL team ever assembled. Eighty five Bears. 00:13:43 Speaker 4: I actually have in my in my eighth grade in my eighth grade yearbook, I actually have a reference to the eighty five Bears from of course, my favorite Saturday Night Live sketch of all time that Bears. 00:13:55 Speaker 1: The the Yes, and the Bear just give out you how crazy good the eighty five Bears were. We have not won a Super Bowl in forty years, and it's still the only thing that like middle aged, mildly overweight men in Chicago still talk about is the eighty five Bears. They're like You'll remember when Go Bears, Go Bears. 00:14:14 Speaker 4: So a coach what a certain name that starts ends with an A and has icky in the middle. 00:14:22 Speaker 7: Yeah, I've got I've got the I've got. Actually, the Mike Dick sweater vel isn't the best I have my closet. 00:14:28 Speaker 1: So, so the teams that I want to Super Bowl Arizona Cardinals, Falcons. By the way, the Falcons ties into our previous topic. Can you can you talk about that? 00:14:35 Speaker 3: Wait? 00:14:36 Speaker 1: What if the Patriots. 00:14:38 Speaker 3: Just yeah, he's just like, why doesn't Churchill give up? Churchill didn't have a way to win? 00:14:44 Speaker 6: Like, yeah, it's just I can imagine like this Falcon ceiling and you're just like, why didn't it was Bill twenty. 00:14:50 Speaker 3: Eight to three? 00:14:51 Speaker 1: That still is the greatest. 00:14:52 Speaker 6: Not no one's ever come back that amount that you're supposed to not. You have to make you know, they were offering them to shut it down. 00:14:58 Speaker 1: All right, So I have a quite I have a good question for the group. Let me list this, Okay, Cardinals, Falcons, Bills, Panthers, Bengals, Browns, Lions, Texans, Jaguars, Chargers, Vikings, Titans. Of that list, who will be the first one to win a Super Bowl. They've never won a Super before. Bengals they lost, They lost a couple of years ago. 00:15:15 Speaker 7: They drove the current structure and the current the composition of the teams. Probably the Bengals are the best chance. I haven't looked at the I think the Lions. 00:15:24 Speaker 6: I'm gonna say Lions. I think coach Dan like that's his name. 00:15:28 Speaker 1: He always look like he's ready to fight somebody. 00:15:30 Speaker 3: That guy he seems to like. 00:15:34 Speaker 1: I think the Lions could win it all this year. Did they have such momentum that I think they're ready to break the curse. 00:15:39 Speaker 3: Their offensive coordinator was offered a head coaching jobs. 00:15:42 Speaker 1: And he says the second odds. 00:15:44 Speaker 7: Lions and then Bengals right after the Lions. 00:15:47 Speaker 1: Lions is plus Chiefs is number one, aren't they? 00:15:49 Speaker 7: I think he means, well, I'm talking about the teams. 00:15:51 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, my favorite. 00:15:53 Speaker 7: Bengals Bills Bills are Bills. 00:15:56 Speaker 1: Bills are losing their edge. Man, they had so many chances. 00:15:59 Speaker 3: Josh Alan is too far of esque, I think for modern. 00:16:02 Speaker 7: In the Texans. Are the Texans on that list? 00:16:04 Speaker 1: Yeah? They never won? No, no, no, yeah, the Texas used to be the Oilers, So it's just the other. 00:16:08 Speaker 7: No, the Oilers are now the Tennessee tis the other team they want. 00:16:12 Speaker 6: The other team along with the Vikings that will never win is the Cleveland Browns. 00:16:16 Speaker 1: They have no they have one. They right, they don't have one. 00:16:19 Speaker 3: You're right, they've never even been to one. 00:16:21 Speaker 7: But this is the order right now in Vegas. 00:16:22 Speaker 1: I don't think the Vikings ever been to one. 00:16:24 Speaker 3: They've been four, every single one. 00:16:28 Speaker 7: No. 00:16:28 Speaker 1: No, it's not as bad as the Bills who lost five in a row, four in a row. For get wrong, it's foreigner row. Can you imagine? 00:16:33 Speaker 7: It's Chiefs forty nine, Ers, Ravens, Eagles, Lions, Bengals, Bills, Texans, Packers. 00:16:40 Speaker 3: And you know it's great. A Packer fan. 00:16:41 Speaker 6: By the way, we're like the only team that's not subject to this extremely terrible NFL policy that they're going to let private equity buy state. 00:16:48 Speaker 3: It's it's in teams. 00:16:49 Speaker 1: Are you an owner? 00:16:51 Speaker 3: No, I'm not. I'm not Domino. 00:16:53 Speaker 1: Yeah No, one of our staff member owns. Yeah, but okay, so don't insult this model. Look, it is. 00:16:58 Speaker 6: Cool the Packers are publicly owned, but owning a piece of Packers stock if you are not one of the og people from the sixties is a scam. 00:17:06 Speaker 1: No, it's not. 00:17:07 Speaker 3: It is a scam. You don't get tickets. 00:17:09 Speaker 1: You get into the lottery for tickets. 00:17:11 Speaker 3: I think you can get into the lottery for tickets just without being an owner. 00:17:14 Speaker 1: If you want to pay like three times mark up. 00:17:16 Speaker 6: And in any case, the waiting list is now so long that if you register your child, maybe their child will be able to get it after they. 00:17:22 Speaker 1: I think it's amazing that this like very small, moderate, like boring midwestern town has this powerhouse NFL team. 00:17:30 Speaker 6: The only right packer stock The only right you get is you get to go to the shareholder meeting, which is which. 00:17:35 Speaker 1: They field and they all vote. 00:17:38 Speaker 3: Okay, that's cool. Cool, but you don't have. 00:17:41 Speaker 6: Actual controlling voting powers with a people from the fifties. 00:17:45 Speaker 7: But it's politics, it's democracy. 00:17:47 Speaker 1: You know. They used to play Milwaukee. Yeah, yeah, and they have they have green and yellow days. 00:17:51 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, because of the. 00:17:53 Speaker 1: They have green and yellow days where the green is all the rules and the yellows or might I might get mixed up, but like all the ticket holders Milwaukee have yellow holding days and then green ones. And so when it's like Milwaukee, that's all a bunch of libs that go up and then it's green. It's like all Trump country people. 00:18:06 Speaker 3: Since you're a Bears fan, you might not know this. 00:18:08 Speaker 6: Did you know that teams are allowed to like be good for more than one season in their history. 00:18:13 Speaker 1: For the record, we were in a Super Bowl against the Indianapolis Cult in two thousand and eight, I think, and. 00:18:20 Speaker 6: Two thousand and six seasons, so I think seven would be the year it happened. 00:18:24 Speaker 1: Hey, the Bear, I think it was the The Super Bowl would have been two thousand. Can you guys check me. 00:18:28 Speaker 3: I think it's the two thousand and sixties for two thousand and seven. Two thousand and seven is when the Patriots go eighteen and one. 00:18:34 Speaker 1: I would put money on this. 00:18:35 Speaker 3: This would be I will put money on this. 00:18:36 Speaker 1: It's not second. It was a SUPERWL one hundred dollars February to two thousand and. 00:18:40 Speaker 3: Eight, two thousand, seven hundred dollars. 00:18:43 Speaker 7: That was the Cardinals two thousand eight Cardinals and Steelers. 00:18:46 Speaker 1: Check it out. That was two thousand and eight season two thousand No, no, no, it's the Super Bowl. Happened in February two thousand and eight. Check it, check it super Bowl likes. You owe me one hundred dollars. 00:18:59 Speaker 7: I just look this. I'm pretty sure. Sunday two thousand and eight. 00:19:02 Speaker 4: It was on. 00:19:03 Speaker 6: February fourth, two thousand and seven, the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Chicago Bears twenty nine to seven. 00:19:08 Speaker 1: Seven. Are you sure? 00:19:12 Speaker 3: Look it up? 00:19:12 Speaker 7: Two thousand and eight was Arizona. That was the crazy game. Patriots in two thousand and eight, that was the Patriots and Giants crazy game. That was the perfect Patriots here. 00:19:20 Speaker 6: I think right sad that I have like encyclopedic knowledge of like this period event. 00:19:24 Speaker 1: I was like, no, it's all fake. It's all been rewritten. 00:19:26 Speaker 7: Yeah, like alternate timeline. I always said it was. 00:19:30 Speaker 1: That's going to ruin my whole thing. 00:19:31 Speaker 7: I can't. 00:19:31 Speaker 1: I can't interview JD. I'm done, Like I just everything's ruined. 00:19:37 Speaker 7: Man. 00:19:37 Speaker 3: JD. Vance must to be a Bengals fan. That has to be hard. 00:19:40 Speaker 1: What NFL team do you hate the most? 00:19:42 Speaker 7: Oh, Dallas Cowboys? 00:19:43 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what, there's close. Cowboys are so easy to hate. 00:19:46 Speaker 7: It's not even close. 00:19:47 Speaker 1: Why how? Why is every Cowboys fan like a five foot six Mexican with long jean shorts. 00:19:52 Speaker 6: No, that that's like the actual The interesting thing with the Cowboys is like they are very national. 00:19:58 Speaker 7: Like well, there's an explanation actually reasonably for this. It's the same thing with the Dodgers. 00:20:04 Speaker 1: They're like the Americans. 00:20:05 Speaker 3: I've heard, I've heard Mexico likes the Steelers a lot. 00:20:08 Speaker 7: No, because there was for a long time in American history, there was a massive gap between basically Texas and California, and so they're they're the Cowboys gobbled up basically all of Western United States until California because there were no there were no football teams even in California that were long standing and well respected, so all Western United States basically, the Cowboys were your team before those other teams exist. 00:20:36 Speaker 1: They also they had such a run in the nineties that it just became America's team. 00:20:39 Speaker 7: Well, but before that, like, my dad's a Cowboys fan. What because there were that everyone in Arizona, Austin's everybody, everybody that lived in Arizona was a Cowboys fan by default. 00:20:52 Speaker 1: The uh so, the Titans, the Vikings, you hate the Vikings. The Vikings are just sort of hate the Vikings more than the Bears. 00:20:59 Speaker 3: The thing. 00:20:59 Speaker 6: Yeah, so the thing is the Vikings are more consistently competitive than the Bears, and they're also just kind of a fun butt monkey to make fun of because they're his like you can make and in they did make like an eight part documentary series on the Vikings' many failures. The Bears is just like, oh, here's their eighty seventh quarterback of the last Kyle Lorrisons, and they're like, oh, Jay Cutler just managed to throw the ball for thirty two hundred yards and twelve touchdowns, thereby cementing the greatest offensive season by any Bears quarterback in history. 00:21:32 Speaker 1: Do you think so of this list? Lions? I agree the Bills are losing it. The Falcons, man, that's such a sad story, isn't it. 00:21:43 Speaker 6: Well, it depends on your point of view like the Falcons. 00:21:45 Speaker 1: So remember, I don't hate the Falcon. 00:21:47 Speaker 3: I don't hate the. 00:21:47 Speaker 6: Falcons, but I will be appreciative that in the twenty seventeen Super Bowl, this is right after the twenty sixteen election, the media basically decided that the Falcons were the Lib America team because they represented it Atlanta. Yes, they were like, you know, the blue city in a red stay. 00:22:04 Speaker 3: They were. 00:22:04 Speaker 6: That's why I was for the Patriots, and they were like they kind of made it a race thing, like the black now and then like the Patriots were the white team. 00:22:11 Speaker 1: It was very bizarrely even though they're from Massachusetts. 00:22:13 Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're from this blue state. 00:22:14 Speaker 6: But on the other hand, Belichick, Belichick wrote a letter endorsing Trump. Yeah, that was private, right, And then I just love this story that the Trump campaign asks him can we release this, and he's like, oh, oh, you want to release it here, let me rewrite the letter to be more effusively positive, Like I didn't want to suck up too much in private, but I'm going to suck up to the max in public. 00:22:33 Speaker 1: That's so funny. 00:22:34 Speaker 3: It's such a great story. 00:22:36 Speaker 1: I was there when Trump first read the letter at the New Hampshire rally the day before the election. I was with I was traveling with Trump that night we almost won. 00:22:42 Speaker 7: And he he just got on Instagram. 00:22:44 Speaker 6: I'll never forget that the moment I realized like it could happen. There were two things that I'll always stick out with me. My friend who was doing pole watching in New Hampshire just tells me, like Blake, we're getting we're getting these random hunt from rural New Hampshire who haven't voted in twelve years and they're coming out, and like a lot of them are coming out. I remember that, and then I also remember seeing Ross Douthat tweeting this is like at the exact moment her odds peaked on the New York Times dial for Hillary, and he's just like, you know, I'm looking at the map, guys, and I just don't Florida doesn't seem that bad. 00:23:19 Speaker 3: Like it seems like the rural numbers are really good. 00:23:21 Speaker 6: And that's the exact moment it just starts swerving the other way. 00:23:24 Speaker 3: Always remember it. 00:23:25 Speaker 1: So you can find my tweet, I owe Blake a hundred bucks, which I will pay, and then I will give somebody twenty five dollars if they can find my tweet from twenty sixteen of my day before election tweet that I predict my prediction if you could find it. No one ever gives me credit for this. I what I predicted the day before the election. Do you remember this? And I got so much hate the day before, and cause I was traveling with the campaign, I was like, I think Trump's gonna win. I think he's gonna win Michigan and people came after me like and I put it by the way in right published the tweet. 00:24:01 Speaker 3: It was the day I've got it. I've got it November seventh, twenty sixteen. 00:24:05 Speaker 1: Like one hundred and twenty five dollars. 00:24:07 Speaker 3: This is great, This is one of my better days. 00:24:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta put that. 00:24:10 Speaker 6: That's really final prediction. Michigan going red bold, but it could happen. You heard it here first, and then you know what you also did. You predicted that Wisconsin and Pennsylvania would be. 00:24:21 Speaker 1: I know you didn't believe enough charge. I didn't get the whole map right, but I did. 00:24:24 Speaker 3: You're a trader. You abandoned Trump. 00:24:26 Speaker 1: That's how I called Michigan. Though. That's pretty legit. 00:24:29 Speaker 7: Though, yeah, we had done, we had done. 00:24:31 Speaker 6: No, I think I called Michigan to I think my final map. We had a contest at the Daily Collar and I got very close to the actual electoral vote total, but I was off in the states. I gave him Michigan. I think I did Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada. So my map is almost the same as yours, but I had Nevada too. 00:24:46 Speaker 1: I gotta get Blake on like an autopay a Venmo at this right, at this point, so NFL season, who do you guys thinks he went in Super Bowl? I'm going to be cheering for and pulling for the Lions. 00:24:59 Speaker 7: I agree. 00:25:00 Speaker 1: I think I think Lions. 00:25:01 Speaker 3: Are You've given up on the Bears already. 00:25:03 Speaker 1: Look, it's it's it's fruitless at this point. I mean, we're gonna be disappointed. Caleb Williams like a tares A c on the third week. 00:25:08 Speaker 3: You're really going to be is disappointed. The word do you want to go for here? If you're like, I mean, was there hope? 00:25:14 Speaker 6: Not really, I just have you had hope since like Brian or Lacker retired. 00:25:17 Speaker 1: I like him actually such a sweet guy. He's super conservative. He lives in Arizona, by the way, He's a really right wing. 00:25:23 Speaker 7: I'm hoping that the Bears actually have a surprise season where I don't think they're gonna go. 00:25:28 Speaker 1: Super Ball is better when the Bears are good, yeah, because I mean, first of all, they're one of the most loved franchises, and you have one of America's biggest cities is on fire. We've just been those like dormant football beast for like the last twenty years. You want that, I mean, like enough of this, Like, by the way, Kansas City, like okay, there's only so much population based there. It's the same, like one hundred thousand people that go to the games, like okay, great, fine, terrific. Like we the teams I want to see suffer Dallas Cowboys cannot stand them. I don't sleep on the Dolphins. By the way, I think Dolphins gonna. 00:25:59 Speaker 6: Be good Dolphins. Dolphins put up seventy on a team last year. 00:26:02 Speaker 1: That was what Tagaviola is the real deal. I'm telling you that guy can Ball. 00:26:06 Speaker 3: I could not have pronounced that name. 00:26:09 Speaker 1: I'm telling you c J. Stroud. But Houston Texans, if he stays healthy, will be one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. 00:26:16 Speaker 7: Texans are going to be good. I'm really pulling that. Uh, the Cardinals figure it out this year. 00:26:19 Speaker 1: I think they got to get to Kyler Murray. 00:26:21 Speaker 7: I think we're going to see We're going to Marvin Harrison Junior's. 00:26:27 Speaker 1: Specially should sign him for a twenty year. He's really good. It was it was a good Kyler Murray's the most overpaid, overrated person. 00:26:34 Speaker 7: We also have some good other other guyur tight end, Trey McBride. I think it's gonna be really good, so we'll see. 00:26:38 Speaker 1: I'm pulling for the Cardinal Outlets. Oh, and I'm calling I'm pulling for the Broncos to go five hundred. Bonickx yep, Bonicks. Let's think of the other teams I hate. Oh, I want the New York Jets to do well. I have more teams I'm cheering for than on there. 00:26:49 Speaker 6: Jack is saying we should each like do a quick like map prediction of the election if we want to. 00:26:54 Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. We're not putting all right out there, right, Jack, you've been quiet for some time. How are the Eagles doing well? 00:27:00 Speaker 8: So the Eagles lately? 00:27:01 Speaker 4: The biggest thing this week was this whole thing with the Kamala Harris ad, like the fake they claimed was a fake ad that went up. 00:27:09 Speaker 8: I don't know if we have the image saying that. 00:27:11 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris is the official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles. And this was going up, but at least one bus station in right in like center city, Philadelphia, and it had the website on it. I think it was like Philadelphia Eagles dot com slash vote and I had a picture the sort of like animated picture of Kamala Harris in an Eagles jersey in the Eagle's helmet, and the Eagles put out the statement saying, oh, well, you know it's it's not her, it's not going to be her, et cetera. This is not approved. But then there was a guy who I've got what was his name, the mole. He was Christian Molar, who said in the comments, because so this other guy who was a Trump supporter from Philly went over and started like plastering over the Eagle over this this quote unquote fake ad. And then Christian Molar, a Twitter user, and you know, shout out to Laura Lumer for catching this, by the way, that said in the comments, how dare this guy cover up the an official ad or cover up an ad like this? 00:28:11 Speaker 8: And if you don't like it, that's too bad. 00:28:13 Speaker 4: And people are like, who's this guy saying it's a real ad? And it turns out that he was the director of team Relationships for the Eagles and actually worked at the Eagles for like twenty five years, so as someone who would be very well within the know of actually knowing whether or not this was a real ad, so he's subsequently locked his Twitter account, and it's become the sort of like whole firestorm as to whether or not this guy had potentially actually approved whatever this thing is. 00:28:42 Speaker 8: To grow up. 00:28:43 Speaker 1: I have no sympathy for the Eagles, and I hope they lose every game and that they sell their franchise for parts. 00:28:52 Speaker 3: You want to bring back the Steagles? 00:28:54 Speaker 1: You know about this story, I don't know. I think the Eagles might be one of my most hated franchise, So no offense. 00:29:01 Speaker 3: Jack. 00:29:01 Speaker 6: In World War Two, due to budget shortages, the Eagles and the Steelers temporarily merged into one today really that they called the Steegles. 00:29:10 Speaker 8: It's an all Pennsylvania team. Yeah. 00:29:12 Speaker 7: I think it's more the fans than it is the actual. 00:29:17 Speaker 1: No, I need the fans are so aggressive. 00:29:20 Speaker 7: But this Kamala thing this week, I want to get answers. I need answers from Jack. Jack should not. 00:29:25 Speaker 4: Again, by the way, like if people if people want like an understanding of who Posovic is, just understand that I grew up as a Philadelphia sports fan, so like that should just work. 00:29:37 Speaker 7: I need answers on this, on this, I need answers to this kamala Ad who produced it, how it got out there. This is going to go down like the pipe bombs in Washington, d C. The R and C pipe bomber. 00:29:48 Speaker 8: So we're tracking down. 00:29:49 Speaker 4: I've already got I've already got people that are looking into this guy's family because it turns out that this Christian Molar guy is also from Narstown, Pennsylvania, where it is the exact same town that I'm from. Just out actually, so we're tracking him down, Christan Molnar. 00:30:03 Speaker 8: Stay tuned. You don't know who's going to be reaching out on Facebook. Could be one of posts those people. 00:30:08 Speaker 1: Uh oh, John Fetterman was right all along. Play cut eighty and. 00:30:12 Speaker 5: Bigles are so much better than bigles. 00:30:20 Speaker 1: Every time I hear the Eagles, I think of that. 00:30:22 Speaker 6: I don't get how they couldn't just make him like that's clearly the smartest Eagles fan in human history. So they should have made him like the head coach or something. 00:30:29 Speaker 7: No, he should be the official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles. It should be Fetterman official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles. 00:30:36 Speaker 4: He's not even from like the Eagles part of Pennsylvania. 00:30:39 Speaker 8: That's what. 00:30:39 Speaker 4: So disingenuous. He's from decidedly Seilers territory. 00:30:43 Speaker 1: So help me just really quick as we wrap up here, Blake. I think the NFL is kind of getting its mojo back. It's a thing now that has a lot of dominance, that has more chatter. Would you agree? It really took a nose dive in twenty twenty and people thought like, oh, football is going down. It feels bigger than ever. 00:31:00 Speaker 3: It really is. The NFL is like. 00:31:03 Speaker 1: It's like state run. 00:31:04 Speaker 3: It's just it's just the perfect sport. Really, it's like unkillable. 00:31:08 Speaker 7: It's just it's so like. 00:31:09 Speaker 1: But am I right? The only way they. 00:31:11 Speaker 6: The only way they can screw it up, frankly, is I think if they if they just get too greedy, like they. 00:31:16 Speaker 3: Keep wanting to add more games on more. 00:31:19 Speaker 1: Days Brazil or like, what are you doing? 00:31:21 Speaker 3: I don't mind the Brazil thing. You know, you do one game here, like. 00:31:24 Speaker 6: Every have every team do one game overseas while you've got this seventeen game season so that everyone's eight and eight and then one international game. I think that's fine, But I think where they're really kind of taking. 00:31:35 Speaker 3: Risks, are they You'll see a few. 00:31:38 Speaker 6: Things one they'll try to put games on too many days, and kind of one of the things the NFL has is they've just basically made Sunday like, you know. 00:31:46 Speaker 1: There's only two days game to Tuesday and Wednesday are the only days of that day game? 00:31:50 Speaker 6: Yeah, well yeah no, And it's making it worse. We have a Friday game now, like. 00:31:53 Speaker 1: It should just be Thursday Sunday, you go to church, you go watch football, or you just watch football, you know, on your point of view, and then there's a Monday night game if you're an obsessive. 00:32:02 Speaker 3: And they them colonizing that one day. 00:32:04 Speaker 6: A week actually is like the perfect level of dominance without it drowning everything out. And the other thing is the NFL is the last thing that's on normal television. And where I could see them screwing up the golden goose is they let a bunch of games go on Peacock or Amazon Prime or Netflix or something stupid like that, and suddenly too many NFL games are on some bull crap subscription service that you have to buy rather than just on normal TV. 00:32:37 Speaker 3: And I think that's how you ruin it. 00:32:38 Speaker 6: You make the NFL too exclusive. The tickets are already really expensive, Like you never really go to an NFL game anymore unless you just love setting tickets on fire. And I think that is setting money on fire. And I think that is the long term hazard. But the actual sport is so good. They've kind of they got through the political harrowing period. You can actually have a right wing player again. And it's not the end of the flipping world. 00:33:03 Speaker 4: Uh. 00:33:04 Speaker 6: They got, they got, they survived all of that. They have pretty likable stars. They I feel like players even get arrested a bit less than these two progress. It's it's a And also college football has screwed it up. Sorry, Charlie, I've got bad news. College football is dumb now, It's not every year. I just don't get the whole like, like, oh, the great amateur sportsmanship, When every single player is this mercenary for higher on a one year contract for whatever booster was, it was. 00:33:34 Speaker 1: An inevitable thing. There's no other way to do college football in the modern social media era. And with the Supreme Court decision, we should just blame the Supreme Court. Blake, blame the Supreme Court. 00:33:44 Speaker 3: I just really mad. 00:33:47 Speaker 6: I just I think college football has outlived its usefulness. It's now now it mainly exists to be like, we can't fix our schools because then it would screw up the heck and football team. 00:33:56 Speaker 1: Man, it's been that way for twenty years. 00:33:58 Speaker 3: But it's worser now. 00:34:00 Speaker 1: Much worser Is that a word? Worser it is now? I was gonna say the Dartmouth grad is using good grammar. 00:34:05 Speaker 3: It's probably a word. 00:34:06 Speaker 1: We have to go. Thank you guys. So final Super Bowl picks. I think the Bears will not win. I want the Lions to win. 00:34:15 Speaker 6: Blake, I'm gonna go total Homer. Jordan Love's gonna gonna pull it all together. He's overrated. We'll get our one super Bowl win that we get with each of our Hall of Fame quarterbacks, and then he'll be the quarterback for the next eighteen years, and then he'll go play on the Jets for a year and then the Vikings. 00:34:29 Speaker 7: Tyler oh Man, I would love to see a Lions Jets super Bowl, man, if we could live through Jets though, I understand, but like, just like some miraculous thing happens. 00:34:40 Speaker 1: You know, is Aaron Aaron just gonna play Monday? 00:34:43 Speaker 2: Yeah? 00:34:44 Speaker 1: Are you sure that's why. 00:34:45 Speaker 6: He'll play on Monday? And they're playing the Niners. I don't think they're playing the Niners. And the guy who injured him in the first game last year is now on the Niners. 00:34:54 Speaker 7: How funny would that be? 00:34:56 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? 00:34:56 Speaker 6: I believe it's the Niners they're playing, But whoever it is, the player who injured him is on. 00:34:59 Speaker 3: The team again. 00:35:00 Speaker 7: A Lion's Jets super Bowl would be great for America. 00:35:03 Speaker 1: Did he play in any preseason game? 00:35:05 Speaker 6: No, but like he didn't play in preseason in Green Bay either, Rogers doesn't like playing. 00:35:09 Speaker 1: Yes he does. He's such a baller. I want to meet that guy. I want. I want to be like Darreon Rodgers on my list to someone I want to be friends with, even though here he's a really bad person. 00:35:18 Speaker 6: If he just comes out, all you have to do is when he shows up, you say, you know, you're shorter than I expected, and he gets like really butt hurt about this. 00:35:24 Speaker 1: If you say that is he shorter? Is he not? Is not that tall? 00:35:26 Speaker 3: He's actually pretty. He's like six three or something. 00:35:28 Speaker 6: But people kind of sometimes expect these NFL players to just be gigantic, and you know, he's not like a super he's not a linebacker. 00:35:33 Speaker 1: Well, the Internet says he's six two. 00:35:35 Speaker 7: I understand. 00:35:35 Speaker 1: By the way, did they fix my height yet on Wikipedia? They did? 00:35:41 Speaker 6: That's amazing our pr campaign work, Isn't that hilarious? 00:35:47 Speaker 1: We ridiculed them. That is so funny. Say you were they said I was six to one, and now they say I'm six five. That is so funny. All right, very happy for you, Jack. 00:35:58 Speaker 4: You want the Eagles to win, Herds Birds all the way, Green gang. 00:36:01 Speaker 8: But of course I do also have to say, let's get back. 00:36:05 Speaker 4: To our scenario or time, folks, Bears versus the assembled choir of Heavenly Angels, the whole choir. Yeah, you know, the star from the jar, from the whole nine yards Angels Angels. 00:36:16 Speaker 8: But it's close. 00:36:17 Speaker 4: And then they cut to Chris Chris Farley and he's got that giant stein of beer and he's just like bears. 00:36:23 Speaker 1: The bearsh We'll see what Kila Williams is made of. 00:36:27 Speaker 7: Not Super Bowl. 00:36:29 Speaker 1: In the next decade, Bonnicks will win a Super Bowl. God bless guys, see you soon enjoy the NFL.

Forward slash Charlie, Okay, that's super Bowl? Was it me? Or just felt it a little anti climactic. Let me just kind of air some mygrievances. Number one, what was with the lower third? Do you know what I'm saying, Andrew? The Philadelphia, the little lower third, the scoreboard. It looked as if someone made it in clip art. Do you know usually they have all these opulent, elaborate I didn't like it. I was I know that we've all agreed as a society, no one took a vote that after trying to the left and trying to the right, and trying to the upper left and the right, that the bottom. 00:38:13 Speaker 3: Is the best. 00:38:14 Speaker 1: I just I thought it was very underwhelming. I will say I think Andrew think of bringing this up. I think Tom Brady did great. I thought Tom Brady was a ten. I thought Tom Brady was a ten. I thought Tom Brady was way better than I anticipated. And dare I say I thought Tom Brady was even better than Tony Romo. I know Tony Romo is you know. I think Tony Roma gets a lot of he gets a lot of mixed reaction. I thought Tom was terrific. I've always been a huge Tom Brady fan, but he just seemed as if he was having fun. He was having a blast, and I think Tom Brady was also enjoying it because he was like, haha, Mahomes, you're not the goat. And he obviously channeled a lot of his Super Bowl experiences. But look, that's not easy. You gotta be honest, Like doing color commentary without a lot of experience on that, that's not easy. I thought Tom Brady crushed it. I thought he did very well. Over one hundred plus million people were watching. Can I also just mention the commercials were terrible. I thought they were so underwhelming, and I thought the best commercial was the food conspiracy one, the Matthew McConaughey, do you know what I'm talking about? I thought that was the best one because it also had the Bears in it. But the greatest moment of the Super Bowl to Great Daisy in Emma's Delight was one. Finally, I don't know if Taylor Swift has ever gotten booed time. Taylor Swift had no idea what was happening after getting booed. One shown on the jumbo tron play cut forty one. Oh they're billing her, And I love when she says, like, what is going on? She's never been booed in her life. And look, I just I think it's well deserved. She went after Maga and endorsed Joe Biden, and she's not exactly in favorable company there. Let's put fifty six up there. This is the meme. It's pretty good. President Trump got applauded. Look, regardless of your opinions on Taylor Swift, it was a fun moment, but it really represented a cultural shift. Represented a cultural shift where President Trump gets roaring applause and Taylor Swift not as much. Here's President Trump getting applauded. Cut forty two. And then there was this Nike ad saying that women were oppressed overall. I will say though, that the advertisements were probably more pro American, more pro family, and a little less woke than I would have anticipated in years. But it just seems like the spark in the creativity was largely missing from them. You could see them clearly trying to signal, but a lot of the ads were just bland. They weren't boundary pushing, they weren't that entertaining. 00:41:14 Speaker 3: Some of them. 00:41:14 Speaker 1: I even said, I said, I know that ad. They run that on regular TV. It's the McConaughey Salesforce ad. They've run that many times, and you know, they say that the super Bowl reflects kind of where American culture is. And here's the best summary I could I could give. We're we are in We are in progress of exercising the woke, but we're not there yet. We're in progress of expelling it from our system, but we're not there yet. The vibe ship is clear, but we still have a lot of work to do. And by the way, so many of the ads were released before the Super Bowl, so it wasn't excited to watch it for the first time like it used to be. But I mean, if I was a marketing agent, I would revert. I would release it ahead of time because you get all these extra views and then you get the views at the Super Bowl. So releasing ahead of time I think is actually super smart. Overall, I was thrilled to see the Kansas City Chiefs lose. I hate to say it. I like Mahomes. I think he's a great guy. I like Harrison, Butker got to know him. But seeing the philadelphiagay, I'm not exactly an Eagles fan. I think they burnt Philly to a Crisp. There's gonna have to be like a rebuilding plan, a national stimulus plan. I think FEMA is gonna have to visit Philly after what happened last night. But I was happiest of all for Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts in twenty eighteen, I remember he was bench in the middle of the National Championship where Tua Takamaola took over, and then he ended up having to transfer to Oklahoma. He never gave up. He fought for every inch. I've been following his career for years. People thought he was no good and now he is Super Bowl MVP and Super Bowl Champion and they can never take that away from him.
