God bless football, Mikey. Eh?
Mike Fuentes
God bless football, Billy.
Mikey A
Gil Fuentes is with us today. It is the day after the Super Bowl. Happy super bowl, everyone. I guess not Happy Super Bowl. It's kind of a bad Super super bowl, if I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. Bit of a drag. Not really competitive at any point in time. It's a fitting end to, you know, a season. I guess. Not at all, actually. It was terrible.
Mike Fuentes
No.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
I would say it's kind of the opposite. It was actually a pretty good season and then all of a sudden, we got that clunker to end it.
Mikey A
Yeah. Stugats will be joining us later today on the TV side, not on the audio side. He is in transit because. Because that's what we do the day after the Super Bowl. But there's plenty of things to talk about. There was a game. There were commercials. There was some jets news over the weekend that I'm eager to see what Mikey thinks about as he is dressed in full jets gear from head to toe. I. I suspect to. To mourn the season, to celebrate the season. I don't know why you're dressed in all jets clothes today.
Mike Fuentes
Because. Because we're all undefeated today.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Oh, I can go back to wearing this because I'm. I'm in first place, just like you.
Mikey A
Season starts today. Yeah. I'm in. My Chief starts today.
Mike Fuentes
Didn all the tweets from all the teams that didn't make the super bowl that said season starts today. Every team sent one out.
Mikey A
I don't want to hear from all of those teams. I don't want to hear from any of those teams. I'm in my. My Chiefs hat because, you know, when you're part of Chief's Kingdom, you ride the highs and the lows, and we've had a lot of highs as members here of Chief's kingdom, so, you know, day after you get blown out in the Super Bowl, I'm going to own it.
Mike Fuentes
Still thankful for the journey.
Mikey A
Exactly right. We've had. Oh, God, what. What a number of years we've had going back and forth. Don't let the people tell you that this is the end of the dynasty. I will not accept that.
Mike Fuentes
All right, I'll ask you this.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
What would make the end of the dynasty if Travis Kelce comes out today and says, I retire? End of the dynasty?
Mikey A
No, no, no. Not the end of the dynasty.
Mike Fuentes
Andy Reed says I retire.
Mikey A
Well, first of all, season starts today. Just as we've already discussed. Brand new season, undefeated, just like you are also. I mean, Xavier Worthy have a game. Xavier Worthy. I. I took Xavier Worthy. In our weekly fantasy contest presented by Smirnoff. I'm not even going to tell you the URL, because that's done. That ended yesterday. So you don't need to go. And you don't even really need a recap of this presented by smearing off the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. But I'm gonna give it to you for free because I know that you guys really are interested and want to hear about our fantasy situation. So, like, super bowl is a different one. You have the captain that's points and a half, and then you have five different, you know, utility slots, basically where you can take anyone else on the field. Oh, Xavier Worthy came in clutch. I finished in like 46th place or something like that, so right out of the money. But what a pickup by Xavier Worthy. Saquon Barkley, dud of a game. Guy scores a touchdown every single game except the Super Bowl. Which, in my opinion. Does he deserve a ring? I don't know. It's for some. Some people are wondering. Some people are wondering. Doesn't show up in the biggest game. Kind of has his team carry him. Really? The MVP should have been the kicker, if we're gonna be perfectly honest with you. Guy puts up basically half of their points for the entire game. And Jalen Hurts was pretty good too.
Mike Fuentes
Jalen Hurts was all right. I mean, I thought. I thought giving him the MVP was a bit of a stretch. I mean, if you really wanted to give somebody the mvp, how about the front four of the. Of the Eagles? And I. I know, yeah, well, that's four guys. But like, that's who wrecked the game. That's. That's the. The Eagles didn't blitz once going into the third quarter, and yet Mahomes was pressured on every play. The Eagles defensive line. Josh. Is it Josh Spiderman? I always forget which one it is. Yeah, he had two and a half sacks.
Mikey A
Josh Sweat caused the interception.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, like that should have been your mvp, but once Jalen Hurts threw a meaningless touchdown, you're like, ah, quarterback's gonna get it.
Mikey A
Yeah. I mean, Josh Sweat winning the MVP kind of would have been a little bit tricky. Jalen Hurts had two passing touchdowns. He had his rushing touchdown via the Twish push. Patrick Mahomes finishing the game with. With more passing yards than Jalen Hurts is surprising. Well, it's not because they were in desperation mode, right. Where he just kind of starts heaving passes and 50 yard touchdowns, but he had like 30 passing yards, I think headed into the fourth quarter. That's not an actual stat, but that basically was.
Mike Fuentes
It was 24 in the third quarter. I know that. Yeah, 24 midway through the third quarter.
Mikey A
So great quarter and a half with Patrick Mahomes, but. Oof. Rough game. Rough game for him. Rough came for him. Washed. Some people are saying. Some people asked them.
Mike Fuentes
Some people.
Mikey A
25 rushing yards.
Mike Fuentes
Travis Kelsey nowhere to be seen for the first, what, three quarters? And then all of a sudden he caught a few. Oh, they're not really covering me because they're playing deep.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
And now it's like, oh, I caught my yards. No, you didn't. You were terrible.
Mikey A
I mean, he only had 39 yards. He had. He had six targets. He dropped two early on. The Eagles defense as good as advertised. The Chiefs couldn't do absolutely anything. And the entire season we saw the Chiefs just kind of find a way week after week after week and just kept believing, you know what? Maybe they'll find a way. And to a lot of people's credit, last week, I think Chris Sims was one of them, was saying, you know what? I could see this being a two score game. Like I could see them winning by two touchdowns even easily if they win. And that ended up being what happened because don't let the 40 to 22 score trick you. This was not a close game at any point in time. And we were just kind of at the end letting the Chiefs score if they want to or do whatever they wanted to, just to kind of. Let's get to the end of this game and give the Eagles their trophy already.
Mike Fuentes
Let's, let's, let's get everybody off the field. Let's get everybody home safe. Game is over. Yeah, we have work tomorrow because as St. Gods would say, it's Super Bowl Sunday, not Super Bowl Saturday.
Mikey A
Yeah. Kenny. Kenny, move. Good for Pickett, huh? Getting in there towards the end of the game.
Mike Fuentes
That's good for good for me for betting over two and a half players to throw a pass and Kenny Pickett getting an absolutely meaningless throw attempt in there just to, to cash that bet in for me.
Mikey A
That is a dice.
Mike Fuentes
Nice.
Mikey A
That's a dicey bet by you. Also, thoughts and prayers to everyone who had Saquon Barkley. Anytime touchdown friends. I'm sorry this wasn't the game for you. 57 yards. Also little T's and peas for the people who had Jalen hurts at over 224 and a half passing yards because he finished with 221, which, gosh, how do they always know? Like, how do they always know when they give you the lines that it's going to be that close? It's, it's honestly incredible.
Mike Fuentes
I. Hey, man, it's just, it's Vegas. That's how they, it's how they air conditioned the desert.
Mikey A
Yeah. Big day for Cooper De Jean, huh?
Mike Fuentes
I thought he might have stolen the MVP. Really had the pick 6. I thought he might have had a chance. I was waiting for like one sack maybe or something to just be like, okay, that guy's, that guy's the mvp. Which would have been cool to see a, a rookie DB win MVP of the super bowl, but.
Mikey A
Well, on his birthday too, I believe.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah. So yeah, Saquon got all the, the attention going in. Oh, it's my birthday. Saquon's gonna have a big day. No, no, no, no. Cooper DeJean. That's whose birthday it was.
Mikey A
Honestly, and this might sound crazy, the Cooper DeJean interception return for the touchdown was when that game ended and it was like midway through the second, but I think it made it a 17 point game at the time. You're like, okay, this is over. Like, they're not coming back from this game whatsoever.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, it was for me, it was like up till then it was like, okay, here's where Mahomes magic has to come in.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
And then when he threw the other interception to give them the ball in the five, I was like, oh, okay. This is, this is just going to get out of hand now. Got it. Now we're just, now we're just looking to finish off the super bowl snacks, finish your drinks and cash a bet where we can. That's what we're, that's what we're aiming for.
Mikey A
What was, what was your viewing experience like? Do you have a lot of people come over? Did you go to someone else's house? How was your super bowl day?
Mike Fuentes
So they, they all expect. And by they all, I mean like my, my in laws, they all expect me to sort of run this thing because of, you know.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Sports, who I am and all that stuff. Sports. So everybody comes over. So we had probably 15 people, a lot of kids. Everybody left before halftime.
Mikey A
Really?
Mike Fuentes
Like my friend who was there to watch the game.
Mikey A
Yeah, okay. They just decided we're done with this. Or would they normally leave at halftime? We left before halftime also, but it was because it was bedtime. Normally we leave at halftime or after halftime. Put the girls to bed. My daughter might be surprising to some of you. Not a Kendrick Lamar fan. So we said, you know what, we can probably leave early. My 3 year old daughter doesn't know who Kendrick Lamar is. We don't really have to see the halftime show for her this year. We can leave a little bit early, put her to sleep. I can watch the rest of the game, the halftime show at home. So that's what we elected to do yesterday.
Mike Fuentes
Can you call it a Super bowl party when people leave at halftime? Like if you're by yourself, if you're hosting a Super bowl party and you're by yourself by the third quarter, can you call it a Super bowl party? Or was it more of a pre game party? Or did people just come over for dinner?
Mikey A
Where I was at was a party. There was a bounce house for the children which ended up breaking. Look we can. We can talk about this.
Mike Fuentes
Let's.
Mikey A
Let's get into it. Let's talk about this just here amongst friends, because the super bowl party that I was at was an experience. I was over at my cousin's house, and hopefully no one that's was at attendance for this is listening. I was over at. At my cousin's house. He has, you know, two daughters as well. They invite some friends over from school, the parents, all of that stuff, right? They rent a tent. They put it out in their yard. They rent a tent, and then they have one of those, like, giant inflatable screens that they got from. Who knows where they got it from. And then they project the game onto the screen in the yard. People sit underneath the tent, and then there's, like, a giant. They had a bounce house that, like, they're friends of the people that rented them the tent, so they threw in the bounce house for free, as I was told. Here's the thing about the inflatable screen. Basically, you can only start watching the game right when kickoff happens because it's too bright. So you can't project onto the screen until, like, kickoff time. So, like, leading up to kickoff, it's very tense because it's like, what are we doing? Is the national anthem going on? Like, where are we? I'm looking at 6:30. It's still daylight out. Like, why are we not watching the game right now? Oh, it's because of the sun. We can't see the screen because it's too bright out. So, like, that was one situation. But sure enough, as soon as kickoff happens, the sun knows. You know what? It's time for me to go away. Let's watch this game. Right? However, there was probably, like, 50 people there at least. There were a ton of people, a ton of kids there. There was a bounce house there. Kids somehow broke the bounce house, which I. I don't bounce it with shoes.
Mike Fuentes
Don't bounce with shoes. No.
Mikey A
What? It was, like, the protective netting on the outside somehow broke, and, like, kids were sliding out the side, which is, like, crazy dangerous. But, like, what do you now tell the person that lent you that bounce house for free? You know what I mean? Like, I do not envy the position that he's in where he has to now explain to someone, hey, thank you for that generosity. This broke. Went to put on his headphones. I think he has lots of thoughts on bounce.
Stugots
Maybe it's not.
Mike Fuentes
Maybe that's why they gave it to him. It's not on bounce because it was broken.
Mikey A
It's possible.
Stugots
It's about projector screens. I don't get why people are obsessed with projector screens. The max quality you get is like 720.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
It's not a good viewing experience. And then there was like, at my uncle's house, there was WI FI issues. And then like I kept stopping and then the TV outside the projector is like a full minute behind the inside. Behind the inside?
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
So I'm like, yo, I love you. I'm going inside. I'm not doing this outside thing anymore. Like, I don't know what you're trying to do here. I know it's nice outside. We're trying to watch the game, not doing this.
Mikey A
Were there a lot of people outside with you?
Stugots
Like all the old men were out there.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Like, half the people didn't care about the game.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
The other half wanted to see Kendrick Lamar didn't care about the game. So it was like me and like some of the kids inside, like the teenagers and then the guys that were watching for gambling.
Mikey A
Yeah. What is your.
Mike Fuentes
Hold on. So my wife always buys me almost a good gift.
Mikey A
Almost.
Mike Fuentes
And last year she bought me a projector screen and a projector. And she was like, oh, we'll use it all the time. Well, here's the problem. We live in Connecticut, so you can't watch it at nighttime pretty much seven months of the year because it's too damn cold to go outside and watch something. And the other the times of the year that you can watch it, it doesn't get dark till 9:00. Well, guess what? Our kids go to bed at like 8:30.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
So like, we have, we have used it. Not once. It's sitting in a box literally at my feet right now. And just hearing that you guys even have the option to watch it, I got a little bit jealous.
Mikey A
When? When did you get this?
Mike Fuentes
Christmas, two years ago.
Mikey A
Oh, wow. And it still has to come out of the box in two years? Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Oh, no. We took it out once to like be like, oh, look, we could set it up. And like we set it up in the living room to watch a game, like a Yukon game or something during the national championship. And like, that's it.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
But like, I'm jealous that you guys even have the option to do this whole projector thing, because I don't.
Stugots
But it's not any good. Like, I can watch like games in this stunning 4K HD.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Like the best possible viewing experience. Then I got to go outside to watch this. Hopefully 1080p on a projection that's probably diagonal because they don't know how to prop it up. Yeah, the sound is absolute ass because the speaker built in is crap. Like, it's just not a great viewing experience. Oh, my God, we're outside of Florida. Who cares? So now I'm out in the nice weather, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, watching this game.
Mikey A
Yeah, I. So I bought myself. My wife wanted to get me a projector because I would say, I want a projector, I want a projector, I want a projector. But I wanted to project it for a different reason, and it was for, like, just regular season football, because I. I'm, you know, I'm what I like to call a normal person. And I am not allowed to have multiple TVs just set up on the wall in the front of the house. Like, I don't have, like, yes, you have two TV stacked one on top of the other, but you have it in a room isolated, not like where you come in on the house. Right. So, like, my wife is like, no, we're not going to have multiple TVs, which is very understandable and very normal. So for the longest time, I was like, you know what? I'm going to get a projector. I'm just going to project onto the wall another thing, and then I could just put it away when it's time during football season, I kind of red zone on one and then like, you know, the Dolphins game, the main game on the other. Right. So eventually I bought myself a projector for like 20 bucks on Amazon, which she was like, oh, I was going to get you a projector this year. It's like, listen, we've been having this debate for two years now. I know that you weren't going to, like. And you would have paid way too much for one. This is like just a indulgence that I have for a couple of hours a couple of weeks a year. Like, we didn't need to go crazy and break the bank on a projector. So I used to project onto, like, the wall next to the TV the other game, right. To Mike Fuentes point. There's basically like. Of the entire screen maybe like 3 inches that are actually in focus. Like, it's in. But you can't actually. It's like, do I want the players to be in focus, or do I want the bottom bar and the graphics with all the information to be in focus? Because they're not both going to be in focus. Only one of them can be in focus here, granted.
Mike Fuentes
Now, difference between the $20 projector that you bought. And a good one.
Mikey A
I was gonna say. I was gonna say. Now, granted, this is a projector that, again, cost, like, 20, $25. And I put on a tripod. It's not like, permanently mounte. So, like, I have to do all of the different tricks where I, like, rotate the angles and all of that. But projector life, not for me in general.
Stugots
Speaking of graphics, people hated the scorebug.
Mikey A
Hated the scorebug. I liked it. I really liked it.
Mike Fuentes
I hated it.
Mikey A
I liked it.
Stugots
I liked it. How simple it was. And, like, you could see through it.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
But such a downgrade from other scorebugs they've had.
Mikey A
I like that you could see through it. My only gripe, and it's probably crazy, is I thought it was too big, you know, like, if you're gonna go, like, minimalist on it, make it a little bit smaller so that I can actually see through it. Because, like, I was basically looking around billboards to watch the game on the thing. Like, the team names were too big. And then sometimes, like, where's down in distance? Like, where's the play clock? Like, it was a little confusing. I kind of like that they went for something there, though.
Mike Fuentes
I don't. What I did like about it was Fox updates the stats as it goes. Not all the networks do that, which always irritates me, watching a gaming be like, oh, that was a big pass. Did I hit the. Over there? I don't know. They're not telling me, so I gotta open an app on my phone and check the stats. I do like that they did that, but I. In general, I thought it was a big miss. It was. It looks so simple. I was like, this is the super bowl, guys. Go big or don't go.
Mikey A
What'd you want it to look like? Just the regular one. Whatever they had.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, Just the regular Fox one would have been fine.
Mikey A
Yeah, I mean, I. I thought it was fine. I liked it. And it also took away from, like, Tom Brady, you know, talking into commercial breaks and getting cut off and sentenced. So many people were talking about the graphics that they weren't talking about Tom Brady, which I think was a win. And his watch. His watch was ridiculous. Apparently worth $800,000. I cannot imagine going into a store. I. I don't even. I assume a store. Right. And saying, I'll take that one. And, like, $800,000. Like, okay, here's the card. Like, how does that work on.
Stugots
At this point, the store comes to him. Well, it comes to the house. And he picks the one he wants.
Mikey A
I guess the idea is so foreign to me because, like, if I go and I spend like, I don't know, a couple hundred dollars, sometimes like, the card will just say, like, decline. Like, this is, you know, bad activity, suspicious activity. Like, so the idea, like $800,000. Imagine you're him and then the bank has to call you or text you like three times. Like, send. Why? For yes. If this was you trying to make this purchase and Tom Brady's like, hold, hold on. I swear I'm good for it. I have the money. I just need to. Just need to text back my bank. Just a moment here.
Mike Fuentes
You're not a watch guy, are you, Billy? I imagine like that if you made Tom Brady money, watches wouldn't be your thing.
Mikey A
I don't know what my thing would be. If I made money, I hope to one day.
Mike Fuentes
I think you're a watch.
Mikey A
Figure it out.
Mike Fuentes
I think Fuentes is wearing an $800,000 watch. If he had Tom Brady money, maybe.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey A
I figured when we come back, watch guys, we're gonna get into the jets, we're gonna get into commercials, and we're gonna have some winners and losers next.

None.
Mikey A
That is super convenient.
Billy Gill
Sell your car to Carvana and swap Hassle for Convenience pickup fees may apply.
Mikey A
I don't know why I wait till word breaks to vent to you guys about things.
Mike Fuentes
It was. It was a nice bed. Like, I'm still laughing.
Mikey A
Well, it's about things that I probably shouldn't be talking about on air. Anyways, just a real quick thing. There was a couple at this party that announced they were having a baby. Lovely.
Mike Fuentes
Look at me.
Mikey A
Louise, very happy for you. It's a Super Bowl. Okay. Like, I. Again, very, very happy for this couple. It was kind of a family party, and they weren't in my family, but, like, that's. That's another thing. But, like, very happy for you guys. I don't know why we did it in. In the middle of the game. Also, like, is a little bit odd.
Mike Fuentes
To me, like, second and ten. Hey, guys, guess what?
Mikey A
Yeah, there's just, like, a cheer erupted, and then we found out what was going on. Again, very happy for the couple, but it seemed like. I don't. It's timing for me seemed a little. A little suspect. Hey, you want to play a game of winners and losers presented by smearing off the world's number one vodka always. Please drink responsibly. I also, Mikey, have. And I know this is your thing, so I don't want to step on your toes here at all, but I want to play a game. A quick one. Round of more Mikely with. Oh, yes, if we can.
Mike Fuentes
I miss more likely. It's such an off season thing a.
Mikey A
Little bit later, but we gotta get.
Mike Fuentes
We gotta bring that back this off season.
Mikey A
Well, it's good then. We can do it now to kind of, you know, dip our toe in. Exactly right. Give people a little appetite for appetizer. For more likely. Yeah. Tease a little bit. Okay. Winners and losers presented by Smirnoff. Do you guys have any winners or losers that you want to get to today, or am I flying?
Mike Fuentes
I have a loser. I have a loser.
Mikey A
Loser. Oh, okay. Started. All right, you want to go first? You can give us a loser first.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, I'll give you a loser first. Myself and everyone of my age and skin color. Oh, the super bowl halftime show was not for us. It was not for me. It's okay. Doesn't have to be. We didn't understand it. We didn't like it, and that's okay. You can stop whining online.
Mikey A
Okay. You didn't.
Mike Fuentes
You didn't like it. I thought it was fine. But stop whining about it. Wasn't for you.
Mikey A
Wasn't for you. Okay, so that was the loser. So you were the loser?
Mike Fuentes
I was the loser.
Mikey A
All right, I'm gonna go with a winner in A.J. brown. A.J. brown, a couple weeks ago, was seen on the sideline reading a book. And we had people on. On the. You know, in the company here. David Sampson said he would have cut A.J. brown the next day. And. And A.J. brown then, during the super bowl, had a moment with Nick Sirianni where he was kind of getting a little. Little lippy, and they were getting a little bit frustrating. He said, oh, wow, the tensions are carrying over. I hope this team doesn't unravel. No, they did not. Because the next drive, A.J. brown scored a touchdown. So A.J. brown, not the best behavior all the time. Super bowl champion, big winner, A.J. brown.
Mike Fuentes
I got another loser. Okay, the refs are making the Chiefs win narrative because there were bad calls all over on both sides. They were missed calls. Now, originally, not gonna lie, the first bad call was A.J. brown's offensive pass interference on that fourth down.
Mikey A
How did you feel about that?
Mike Fuentes
Oh, that was a bad call. That was. And I was sitting there because I'm. I'm a big. The refs aren't doing anything different. They're just bad. They're not just bad for the Chiefs. And that was. That was a big thorn in my argument.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
And then we got a makeup call with a phantom roughing, you know, roughing on, sportsmanlike penalty. And then Mahomes got his face smushed in on a play and they didn't call it. And I'm like, okay, let's just throw this whole refs thing out. Yeah, the Eagles won. Chiefs got no help. Everybody's like, we're back to normal. The refs are just bad. They're not Chiefs bad.
Mikey A
So the offensive pass interference was very early in the game, and it seemed like a huge moment, which ended up being completely.
Mike Fuentes
First drive.
Mikey A
First drive. It would have. It would have been like a 20 yard pickup and instead ends up resulting in a punt. I gotta be honest with you. In the slow mo, I'm like, yeah, I get. I get what you call it. And by the way, Mike. Mike Pereira was doing the officials no favors. Absolutely no favors. And I don't want to be the guy that comes in and says, mike Pereira, like, do better, whatever, but, like, Mike Pereira, do a little bit better, okay? Like, you know how hard this job could be. Don't come up here and tell us when you're watching things in slow mo replay. Well, I would have done this, I would have done that, I would have done This. I would have done that. I have somewhat of a gripe. And I realize that this is ridiculous because I'm in media. I hate. I hate. I hate hearing the coaches, former executives and former, you know, whatever, head of officiating officials and all this stuff tell you. Tell me what they would have done in this situation. Buddies, if you guys were so great at those jobs, you'd still have them because no one is walking away from these positions willingly to go talk about these positions. You guys were all bad at your jobs, and that's why you're on television talking about the other people who are better at their jobs than you were. And that's why they still have said jobs and they haven't been replaced. So you coming out and talking crap about them really rubs me the wrong way. I'm tired of hearing how easy it was to be a former coach and how easy it was to be in management and how easy it was to be an official when you couldn't hang. And that's why you're on television talking about the people that could. Just a little mini rant. Here's a loser in Winners and losers presented by.
Mike Fuentes
In the break. I'm very excited. We got one on the. On the show.
Mikey A
Here's a winner and loser presented by Smirnoff. And it is the exact same thing that you just said, but for a different reason. Here are the losers us for saying that the officials were cheating on behalf of the Chiefs and they overcorrected and did not cheat on behalf of the Chiefs to the point that the game was not interesting. I could have used a lot of cheating yesterday on behalf of the officials just to keep things close and tight and honestly interesting for three quarters because, boy, was that game boring. Like a long, boring game. We've gone over it. So happy for the Eagles and the wonderful people of Philadelphia. I can't think of a fan base that deserves this championship more than the Philly fans. Man, do they struggle. And, man, are they gracious winners. I'm so happy for them. However, I could have really used some cheating by the officials yesterday just to keep things tight and interesting. Yeah, and by the way, to have them run the ball at all, because I had Kareem Hunt in fantasy also. And nine yards, buddy, ain't gonna do it. That's why I finished in 70th place.
Stugots
They only ran the ball seven times. I think the Chiefs, in total, they.
Mikey A
Ran it 11 times, but four of them were by Patrick Mahomes.
Stugots
Don't count the Patrick Mahomes. Scrambling for his life.
Mikey A
Yeah. Four of them were with Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Cheating. Could have used more of it yesterday in the Super Bowl. Do you have any.
Mike Fuentes
Would have been a more interesting game.
Mikey A
Any winners and losers for you? No.
Stugots
Anybody who bet anything having to do with Saquon Barkley? I missed two huge parlays because they only had.
Mike Fuentes
Unless you bet the under.
Mikey A
Yeah. If you bet the under.
Mike Fuentes
You bet the under.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
110. Oh, you got it.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
110 yards. I should have known better than you, Bear.
Mike Fuentes
Crazy bear, who joined us early in the week, said, wait till the end and grab some unders, especially the ones that everybody is pounding on the over early. I was like, everybody's on Saquon. At one point, I could have got it at over at under 116 yards. 116 yards is ridiculous. Now, Saquon had been doing that, but at the same time, like, the number was, oh, it's gonna get 95. 100. When you're with the over unders at 116. Give me that all day. I took the under.
Mikey A
Yeah. You know who was a winner this weekend? Mike Fuentes was the winner because he listened to the bear.
Mike Fuentes
He did listen to the bear selectively.
Mikey A
Mm. Well, that's true, too. He chose when but the time that he chose. Great time for him to choose to listen to the bear. Great time for them to listen to the bear. You want to play a quick game of. Of More likely? Unless you have any Winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. Any more Winners and losers? Going once, going twice. Okay, so move on to the next More Likely. All right, so Super Bowl. Big thing in the super bowl are the commercials. I don't know how you guys felt about the commercials this year. Again, I have somewhat discussed the setup that I had with you guys. I was outside. There were a lot of people. Hard to watch the commercials on the projection screen. Also, when a lot of people are talking, I.
Mike Fuentes
Before we get into the commercials. Before we get into more Mikely little. Little mini rant on commercials. A commercial doesn't need a trailer. A commercial doesn't need commercials leading up to the commercial.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
That you're going to air in the Super Bowl. That's part of it. They've become so big that they're not surprising anymore.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Now you can watch them on. On. On social media the days before the Super Bowl. Like, let me just. Let me just see it in its natural environment, and then you can give Me, all the behind the scenes and all that. But, like, leading up to. It's like, oh, wait till. Wait till February 9th. You're going to see a Jeep commercial like you've never seen.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
It's like, why can't I just enjoy the commercial? That's the point.
Mikey A
I'm with you on that. And I feel like. And I don't know this, but I feel like the companies and like the ad agencies and all that are spending so much on these commercials that they're like, we can't just run for 30 seconds and be out $8 million. You know what I mean?
Mike Fuentes
That's your problem, not mine.
Mikey A
Yeah, I'm with you because I. I'd like to be surprised. And there really is never a surprise anymore in the comm commercials just because you already see them beforehand. So, anyways, more likely. And this is super bowl commercial based, did you guys have a favorite commercial just out of curiosity? I did not. I have maybe like two that I can even remember happening. I remember that. That Pringles had one where for some reason they were, like, flowing into it, and then the mustaches are flying off people's faces. I remember that one. And I was like, oh, Adam Brody, he's still doing stuff. Good for him. Yeah, good for him.
Stugots
Seal.
Mike Fuentes
George Costanza once was good. Second time was just awkward.
Mikey A
I didn't even see that one.
Stugots
Me neither.
Mike Fuentes
The. The first time was mayo. Second time was mustard. We had the When Harry Met Sally male one that made a comeback.
Mikey A
Well, it had Cindy Sweeney in it, which is right after a Glen Powell commercial, which the two of them, like.
Stugots
Seal being a Seal.
Mikey A
Guys, enough already. The two of them, that.
Mike Fuentes
That. That weirded me out, man.
Stugots
That was Seal as a seal was very weird.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, that was hard to watch.
Stugots
Had my girl in it.
Mikey A
Who. Who's your girl?
Stugots
Becky G. Becky G. She's in the commercial for like a quarter of a second on the boat there.
Mikey A
Yeah, I did see Becky G in a commercial. I had no idea what it was for. And now that you're mentioning it, I do remember a seal. But I didn't realize that SEAL was a seal because, again, I was very far away from the screen as a whole thing. I will say, too.
Mike Fuentes
So it was probably still light out.
Mikey A
Real quick, winners and losers. You don't have to play music. Real quick. Winners and losers. And this is the dangerous game that happens with projections. Also winners, all of us. For a kid not tripping on the cable and unplugging the projector because it's happened Every single year, a kid trips on the cable, unplugs the projector, unplugs the sound. There's a scramble. No one knows how to fix it. You have to do a whole thing. People are shaking things. Now you're just sitting outside in the dark. Didn't happen yesterday. So good job on all the children.
Mike Fuentes
Was there a designated cable? Dad, I feel like without even speaking, somebody sits by the cable and anytime a kid starts approaching. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stay right there. Go around there.
Mikey A
There wasn't, but I think what happened is, is the bounce house placement made it so that the kids weren't in the area with the cables, which is a good job by everyone that's set up. Okay, so here is a round of super bowl commercial. More Mikely. Okay. Fuentes, you want to play more Mikely also? Okay. And this is, I realize now, not fun at all, but at the time, I thought it was fun and I thought I was gonna have more of these because it was early on and it was a commercial. Okay. Which is more Micly. And if you have more Mike Lee's that you want to send us, you can, you know, tag all of us, you know, at Billy Gill, my gay sports.
Mike Fuentes
I need him for the season. I write them down all.
Mikey A
Yeah. Okay. So if you want. You have any ideas, just tweet at all of us. Hashtag more Mikely. Which is more likely, Drew Barrymore going on an MSC cruise or Eugene Levy eating at Little Caesars? More likely, because those were back to back commercials. And when I saw them, when I saw Drew Barrymore, I was like, drew Barrymore is never going to be on a cruise ship with the common folk. I am never going to walk around on a cruise and see Drew Barrymore on an MSC cruise. And I was like, this is ridiculous. And then the next commercial comes on and Eugene Levy is selling me Little Caesars. And I said, that is a man who does not even know what Little Caesars is while he's trying to sell me Little Caesars.
Mike Fuentes
I'm going to go with Eugene Levy eating Little Caesars is. No, I'm going to go. Drew Barrymore being on the cruise is more likely than Eugene Levy eating Little Caesars.
Stugots
I'm with Mikey because she has enough money that she can buy the best suite and the best everything, and she'll be there. There's no way Eugene Levy is buying Little Caesar's pizza.
Mikey A
Okay, now here's my thinking. I think that you guys are right in terms of more likely that Drew Barrymore could end up on a cruise. Now, this is why I think that she could end up on a cruise. Because cruises also have, like, celebrity quote unquote, like, godmothers or godfathers, where they're, like, the celebrity that's tied to the ship and they go with, like, the christening of the ship and all of that stuff. So, like, I could see her being in one of those scenarios. I could see. I think she has children where she, like, takes the kids on the cruise. You won't see her. You're not gonna hang out with, you know, Drew Barrymore. She's not gonna be at, like, the. Whatever the challenge is. Like, the last night where everybody's, like, running around like, oh, I need a pair of two left sandals, everybody. And she's, like, running up and down trying to get you those. She's not gonna be there. Eugene Levy, the idea of him at a Little Caesars, that might be the worst fit of celebrity, endorser and product that I have ever seen. And part of it is because I just started watching on a plane, Eugene Levy's travel show where he's. It's on Apple plus. Or Apple. I gotta be honest with you. Confession time. Circle of trust here, friends.
Mike Fuentes
Circle of trust.
Mikey A
I don't know the difference between just Apple TV and Apple Plus. I think it's the same. I think they just changed the name. Maybe there's like a $3 difference, and one of them gives you something that the other one doesn't. I have no idea what the difference is between the Apple and the Apple plus, but his show is on Apple or Apple plus or one of the Apples where he's going around and. Oh, I'm Eugene Levy. I'm a grump. I don't like to travel. But now I'm exploring the world, and I love everything. Look at me. I'm enjoying life at 75 years old. Exactly right. Oh, here I am. I'm in the middle of Antarctica. Wow. I really do enjoy life. Life is so wonderful. I really should have done this more when I was younger. That's the gist of his show. Now, in watching the show, he talks about all of these extravagant hotels that he goes to. $3,000 a night, this and that. And when you live that lifestyle respectfully to the people of Little Caesars, you're not ordering hot and ready. You're not ordering hot and ready pizza. It's just not things that go hand in hand.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, I need to throw a third Mike Lee in there.
Mikey A
Okay, hold on a second. We'll get to you in a second. Mike Fuentes. Sorry, I didn't realize you can't see each other. Yes, Mikey, A. What is your. Your third. More. More likely.
Mike Fuentes
Harrison Ford driving a Jeep.
Mikey A
I could see it because he, like, has his weird planes that he crashes. So like, I could see him being a Jeep.
Mike Fuentes
When you have money for planes to crash.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
You don't drive a Jeep.
Mikey A
Really? I could see him being a guy that owns, like, a classic Jeep. I have a question for you guys. And this isn't about. Well, actually, Fuentes, what are you going to say? And then. Then I'll ask you my question because it's going to kind of go in a different direction.
Stugots
No, I'm just expanding on what Mikey said. So Harrison Ford's 82 years old. He might be past his driving years, especially because he's rich. Yeah, but like you said, I could see him owning, like, a vintage Jeep I'm taking around the beach today. Yeah, there you go. But I was gonna say late winners and losers. Facial hair. The mustache commercial. Eugene Levy's eyebrows had a moment.
Mikey A
Yeah, they flew off his face. Also. Correct.
Stugots
And landed back on there for the Little Caesars.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Weird Winners and loser.
Mike Fuentes
One guy had a good idea, sold it to two different companies.
Mikey A
I do like that.
Stugots
Genius.
Mikey A
I do like that. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot what I was gonna ask you guys. So. Guess we're not gonna get back to it.
Stugots
I ruined it.
Mikey A
Sorry. No, it's fine. It's fine. What were we talking about? We were talking about Eugene Levy. Hmm. It'll come to me. Hey, when we come back, did the idea that was in my head come back to me? Find out.

Mikey A
I remember what it was that I forgot about earlier, which I'm. I'm proud of myself because I'm getting to this age, Mikey. And you're not going to appreciate this because you're older than me. I'm getting to this age. And Fuentes is older than me, too. But I'M getting to an age where I just forget things. Like, forget names, forget things I'm talking about. Like, almost to the point that I wonder if I should ask a doctor about it. But we're not there yet. So I remember what I was going to talk about. And it was in the realm of the commercials and of the celebrities that were out and about Kevin Costner and Pete Wentz just hanging out. Seemed like a very odd pair to me. Like, they were. I don't know what the reason was, if they work for the same network, if they have the same reps, what it was. But, like, it wasn't just they were sitting together at the game, like, in regular seats, seemingly. It was. They weren't in a booth. They seemed to just be in regular seats, sitting together, enjoying the game, talking to each other. I also saw pictures of them on the field together before. So, like, Pete Wentz and Kevin Costner just had a boys night yesterday. It would seem this.
Stugots
That seems like a similar agent type deal.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
The agent brought them together and then they know it. Like, they met through that and now they hang out.
Mikey A
Who do you think needed the other one more in that situation? Like, who benefited more from the other person's company? Because Pete Wentz had a moment, you know, a couple, a couple years ago. We're a couple. We're a couple years.
Stugots
You're talking about Pete Davidson, not Pete Wentz.
Mikey A
Oh, yeah, Pete Davidson. I'm sorry. Yeah. See what I'm saying?
Stugots
Totally different guy.
Mikey A
See what I'm saying about names here? I'm telling you. See what I'm saying about names? They're just coming and going. But this is the rare winners and losers. My memory.
Stugots
This is the rare both sides benefit situation, I feel, because Pete Davidson helps Kevin Costner stay relevant with a younger crowd. But then Kevin Costner, very hot right now because of Yellowstone and stuff like that. So a little bit of a mutual beneficial thing going on, I would say.
Mike Fuentes
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go next level on you. I'm gonna go one level deeper. Kevin Costner was married for years to the same woman, and then they just recently got divorced. Kevin Costner's learning how to do boys night again.
Mikey A
Wow.
Mike Fuentes
Kevin Costner was an indoor cat for so long. He's learning how to go out now. Pete Davidson showing him the ropes.
Mikey A
Pete Davidson, I think. And I don't know if this is, like, sacrilegious to say Pete Davidson, I believe, was replaced by Marcelo Hernandez in terms of, like, the guy from snl, like, he's still. Marcelo's still like on the come up and he had his thing. Domingo in the video. And everybody loves him and everybody wants to take a picture of him. Oh, wow. Funzes just to miss that. Dismissed that through the glass. Like, just put his hand up and then waved it down. He wants nothing to do with Marcelo, which is, you know. Okay, okay. I don't know what's going on there.
Mike Fuentes
Not a fan.
Mikey A
Solo guy. Yeah, but Marcelo lives in like the Pete Davidson lane, does he not?
Stugots
Well, Pete Davidson hasn't been on SNL for a while, so.
Mikey A
Well, that was a mistake. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna be big. No, you're not.
Stugots
Yeah, I mean, Pete Davidson. That's what I'm saying. Because of that, there's a huge Pete Davidson size hole in snl. Somebody has to fill it. Oh, so it's like, yeah, sure, Marcelo, I guess he's really funny at being Hispanic. Good for him.
Mikey A
There's just. So you know this. Mikey, do you know who Marcelo Hernandez is or. No?
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey A
Okay, good. Even if you don't, that was a convincing answer. So here's the thing. There's a lot of hate that he gets in this office because everyone he. He started down here locally. Like, he was basically like Instagram, like famous. Like there's this Instagram account called Only and Day that just basically like is just highlight videos of like all the car fires and all this stuff. And like, he would go out there and he would like interview people and he'd do like skits for like the Instagram and stuff like that. So like, he was known here locally before. And you have a bunch of haters in this office, because there's no other way to put it. You have a bunch of haters in this office who say very vocally that they are funnier than he is and that they could do what he's doing. So Marcelo gets a lot of hate within this office because everybody thinks that they could have been him and they think that all he is is Hispanic accents and that. And that's all that he does.
Stugots
That is all he does.
Mikey A
Well, see, okay, so there's a lot.
Mike Fuentes
There's giving him the hate. I can't figure it out.
Mikey A
There's a lot there. Well, it's not. The funny thing is Mike Fudge is probably like fourth on the list. He's not even like the biggest Marcelo hater.
Stugots
Yeah, I mean, I'm not.
Mike Fuentes
I just.
Stugots
I just think I know guys that are funnier than him. Is that's only.
Mikey A
Yeah. See, this is just a thing that happens all the time. Instead of being happy for other people, local guys made good that are out there, you know, doing big things. And I don't know how we're talking or how or why we're talking about Marcela right now, but instead of just being happy for the guy, just a bunch of grumpy people here saying that they could have been better than him. Adam Sandler and Paul McCartney. That one wasn't that surprising of a duo kind of flirting across the booth together, right? Like, they've crossed paths multiple times, I would assume.
Mike Fuentes
No, that one. That one didn't surprise me at all. I feel like Paul McCartney is one of those guys that was like, hey, I know Adam Sandler. And Adam Sandler. Like, holy cow, I know Paul McCartney.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
You guys want to go to the super bowl together?
Mikey A
Sure.
Mike Fuentes
I got a box.
Mikey A
So here is my other question, and this is primarily for Mike Fuentes, because Mikey A. Wasn't there for that. And you edited it, so you may have been confused by the situation. We had Adam Devine on the show last week, and in the Adam Devine interview, Rose, who works with us, came in, interrupted the interview to sing to Adam Devine. And Rose is someone who's an editor, and she. She does camera work for us. And she's normally going around with Lucy during the college season and kind of getting all this stuff for Lucy's road trips. But she was on the super bowl this year. She was at the super bowl this year because Lucy was there and they were doing something else for a sponsor. But while she was there, in one of the Uber rides, she decided that she was gonna sing Country Roads, but she thought that the words of Country Roads were Baton Rouge. So she rewrote the song Country Roads and thought it was just called Baton Rouge, but also had the word California, and it had the word Florida in it. And she had her own version of it. The next day, for some reason, because that happened, she came and she sang that song on stage to Adam Devine, which was divine, no pun intended, but so she went and she sang that song to Adam Devine. I thought that would be the end of it the rest of the week. Every time she saw Adam Devine, because he was there the entire week. He has a podcast, apparently, with the other workaholics, and they were. They were recording it every day. And then whenever he wasn't recording it, he was pitching something, and he was on, like, every show, right? So he was at Radio Row every Single day, for hours and hours, every day, like, putting in, like, work, like, doing work. So every time that she would see him, she's like, hello, friend. And she would, like, awkwardly, like, reach out to him and talk to him. And he was very nice, like, oh, hey, how's it going? Blah, blah, whatever. And I assume he didn't remember her at first, but I'm sure by the end he did. Because every single time she saw him, she would do that to the point where we were leaving the last day in an Uber. She rolled down the window of the van. She's like, hi, friend. And I was like, please stop it. He's waiting to get in an Uber. Please stop bothering him. However, this is why I bring it up. And this is the question. And it's another commercial question. Rocket Mortgage had a commercial where the whole thing was everybody singing Country Roads. And I guess it was about home ownership and feeling like you have a place that's your home. So then everybody's singing Country Roads, right? And then they go, and I. I don't know how many millions of dollars they paid for it to then go live to the Superdome where they're playing Country Roads. Trying to get videos of people singing to have it almost be an extended commercial, right? Very heavy handed, very forced. No one seemed to really be singing Country Roads except, like, three people. So, like, they didn't get the moment that they wanted. I don't think. However, there was part of me when this is going on and I'm wondering, Fuentes, if this happened to you. There was part of me when this was going on where I sat down and I said, and it's a ridiculous question to ask, but because of the way the week played out, I did wonder, I wonder if Adam Devine just thought about Rose right now. Because the fact that you have this crazy person singing Country Rose to a completely different, you know, words that aren't for the song.
Stugots
Baton Rouge, California, makes no sense.
Mikey A
It made absolutely no sense. But the fact that you have this.
Mike Fuentes
Crazy Adam Devine sing those words.
Mikey A
I know, but I did. I did wonder when it happened. I go, I wonder if wherever he is, if he's watching this. I was somewhere, he's like, you know, someone sang that song to me this week, like in an interview, but was singing about Baton Rouge. It was the weirdest thing. And then every time I saw her the rest of the trip, she just kept coming up and, like, saying hi to me and she thought we were really friends. So I did. That was what I was thinking when that went on yesterday during the Super Bowl.
Stugots
I did think about Rose for a second, and then I quickly forgot about it.
Mikey A
The time. Well, it may be the same thing that happened without a divide. The timing was just, honestly, incredible. That was like a prominent feature in an ad, and I was like, yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Anyway, that's some Inception stuff.
Mikey A
Mikey, your jets are a disaster. I don't know if we have enough time here, but your jets are a disaster. You're not going to get anyone coming back. Hey, guess what, though. Good thing for you. New year, fresh start, new quarterback, new receiver, new coach, new gm, new everything for you, huh? What an exciting time to be a Jets fan. No. Okay. All right, guys, this is a fun year. That's going to wrap it up for Monday episodes of God Bless Football. We're going all year long. We're just not going to be doing the Monday Fridays until the season begins again. Friday. Friday's only Fridays only. Moving forward for the rest of the year or not the rest of the year, the rest of the off season. I don't think we have any weeks off, which maybe it'll change. We'll see. Because I'm a little bit tired, but we'll see if we have any times off. But we have the combine coming up. We have the draft coming up. I. I heard. I heard from some people. Draft, draft, show location. And. And it might be gonna be happy. Might. Might be hitting the road a little bit. Maybe going to. To see old Nash. There was a funny exchange with someone. It was one of the sponsors. Sponsor. Like, I heard we might be going to Nashville for the draft, which I don't think I'm supposed to be saying, but whatever the sponsors. Like, I heard we might be going to Nashville for the draft. And then Stu, guys, like, what happens if they trade the number one pick, Buddy? What are we gonna do? And he's like, then we're in Nashville. And I was like, exactly, Exactly. Right. Then we're there. What are we gonna do? Like, we're just.
Mike Fuentes
There are worse places to be.
Mikey A
Be exactly right.
Mike Fuentes
Places to be.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Some of them picking the top five.
Mikey A
Like Green Bay, which is where we were going to be going originally, because what the hell are we going to do there? Anyways, see you guys Friday.
