Drake Maye disappoints in Super Bowl LX, Seahawks defense dominates, Bad Bunny's halftime show | 02.09

ladies and gentlemen welcome to the right time a wave original my name is bomani jones thanks for listening wherever you get your podcast thanks for watching us on youtube subscribe like rate us review us give us five stars you only give us four stars i'm inclined to believe you are a hater we got a lot to talk about uh from the super bowl which i mean I want to play something for you guys right fast, right? And for those of you who have not heard this, this is a clip from Justina Amonwari. All right? Her son Nick plays safety for the Seahawks. They are Nigerian. She is from Nigeria, and she is doing an interview about the Super Bowl and listen to how impressed she is by the idea of the Super Bowl. To go over there to San Francisco to watch this game, watch your son. To be honest with you, I don't know. Everybody keep asking me, do you know what you are going for? I said, Super Bowl. They said, do you know how many people die to go to Super Bowl? I'm like, how? I don't know. I have opportunity to go there. So I'm like, okay, maybe this is something big that I don't know. It's big. I don't know what I'm expecting. All I'm going is to shout, yay, Super Bowl, touchdown, we win. That's it. Well, let me tell you something, Doc. If she ain't know what the big deal about the Super Bowl was before, she sure as shit don't know what the big deal about it is now. I love how dumb sport sounds to people who don't care. Yes. Like, oh, wow, you ran the ball over the line. Big deal. Good for you when you win the game. I sent that to the homie Toby and Wigwe. I don't know if you've been here, Rapper out of Houston. Very Nigerian cat. And I sent it to him, and he was like, yep, that's my mom about my life. Right? Like, you got to really start making some paper, apparently, for these American trivialities to really register with the Nigerian mom. But no, after she watched that game, she's like, what are we doing? She ain't even get to say yay that much, if we're being perfectly honest. Now, I would assume, though, that she got to get into the defense because the Suns play defense, and the Seahawks did play a certain measure of defense. Like, Ryan, I don't know, does your mama have a go-to at football games? So, like, my mama has a go-to. She has two go-tos at football games, right? And I haven't been in a football game with my mama in a very long time, but me and my brother talk about this all the time. It's a time for a football game with my mama. She got two go-tos. If her team has the ball, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. And if your team is on, if our team is on defense, get them, get them, get them, get them, get them, get them, get them. Get them always. Yeah, get them universal. Just get them. And it is a passionate, it is a sincere, she is invested in the get them, right? And my mother is a fan of sports. We're not talking about somebody just like totally out of it. I'm wondering if Mrs. Z got like charged up during the game. Her son played a defense. You know what I'm saying? Maybe she get her and get them on. But like, what did she think about any of these other games that her son was playing? And by the way, they was in South Carolina. I need to hear his accent because the country-ass Nigerians, boy, they got a sound. You know what I'm saying? But how charged up, like, hopefully she was happy because her son's team played a lot of defense. Congratulations to them. And shout out to the boy Kenneth Walker, because that was an old school feeling kind of running back performance, right? What are we talking about? 27 carries for 135 yards? That's what I'm talking about. He's good too, right? And to be honest with you, he should have had a whole lot more running yards. And the only reason he didn't have a whole lot more running yards is at Clint Kubiak. We got a big brain in the house, guys. Auditioning for a job he reportedly already has. He already has the job. You're already. Okay. I am assuming, and let me look up his exact track record. Because, I mean, what I was about to say is, I'm assuming that he's cool with the boy Kyle Shanahan, obviously. Yeah. Because they got, you know, they daddy's. They've been going to Christmases together for 30 years. Right. They're not the same age. He did work with Shanahan in 2023. He did not work with Shanahan when Shanahan was working with the Falcons. And I bring that up because we all watched Kyle Shanahan be the most responsible culprit for the Falcons blowing that 28-3 lead. Because for whatever reason, the dude who's built the offense that makes it so that everybody can run the ball was like no let's keep throwing that's what we should do we should just keep throwing the ball yeah yeah we got this big lead why don't we just keep throwing the ball what could possibly go wrong ryan give him the quote the old quote yeah there are three things that could happen when you throw the ball two of them are bad there we go yeah right there we go that's that phrase that's never been wrong in fact if you extend it out and loosen the assumptions more and more the bad things actually keep stacking yes and the good ones don't right they had reached a point what was this third quarter early fourth where chris collinsworth said the exact same thing that i was thinking i mean they're going to just run the ball out right like there's no reason to throw the ball ever again and by the way shout shout out to kyle shanahan who learned his lesson yes about that because he had games with jimmy garoppolo where he was like hey man just just just just give somebody else. Yeah, let's throw the ball eight times. Yeah, and that's all in the first half. Yeah. Whole second half, we just go hand the ball off. The Seahawks, for whatever reason, like, what do we got to just make sure Sam get a touchdown, huh? That's what we need to do? There was no, honestly, there was no reason for them to run the ball after 7.30. 7.30 p.m., I mean. Yeah, once he got to 9-0. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, once we had seen the halftime show, there was no need to throw the ball because the Patriots were not going to do it, guys. Drake may apparently, you know, he had the bad shoulder. We knew he had a bad shoulder. He said he took a shot before the game. He's not making any excuses, and I'm so glad that he's not making any excuses. So we can just talk about what this really came down to, which was an all-time bad quarterbacking performance. And there were throws there to be made. They weren't all great. They weren't all stupid. Like, like... there was no excuse to be as bad as he was in that game. This wrapped up, and Ryan, you got this stat, I think, was Steven Ruiz of the Ringer put this up. But for quarterbacks that had gone this deep into the playoffs, played three games in the playoffs, it's the worst postseason by total EPA, one of them fancy advance numbers, since the year 2000. Like, we talked about this coming into the game. He hadn't been good. Deontay and I did the show on Thursday. And I got to say, you know, y'all don't talk a lot about when your boy get it right. Me and Deontay were pretty clear. This one had beat him down written all over it. And it had even the beat him down punctuation, which is the gratuitous defensive touchdown in the fourth quarter when the game is already in hand. Yeah. I mean, he kind of, Drake May kind of got a pass in the first two games because C.J. Stroud was so bad when they played, and Herbert was so bad when they played. Yeah, yeah. Let me tell you this. C.J. Stroud, if he was watching the game, it's like, how come ain't nobody talking about putting him on the bench? Like, when we watch C.J. Stroud be this bad, all of us were like, hey, why don't you boys go to Davis Mills? Drake May was that level of bad. Right. Right? Now, do I think you go to, who is their backup? do we know i do not know let's go ahead let's find out who the backup quarterback for the patriots is it could be anybody brian hoyer though that he feels like he's on the board oh josh dobbs or tommy devito oh i gotta say man josh dobbs might have might have done better for you yeah right like josh dobbs is the kind of backup you get specifically for this yeah right specifically Like he, he is not, here's what Josh Dobbs is. Josh Dobbs is a backup who can start a game for you. Right. But I mean, again, we knew that that was not going to be yet, but that's really all there is football wise to talk about from this game. Like, I know that Seattle defense is really good, but that didn't, I did not feel like this did not feel like that was what I was watching. Right. So if you want to talk about some of these stats, we've seen with like the EPA numbers, like the 10 worst Super Bowls. And Drake May is on that list also, right? Oh, yes, here we go. Drake May had the sixth lowest EPA per drop back in the Super Bowl since 2000. Now, Peyton Manning is on this list twice, just so we're clear. And only one of them is 2015. I mean, obviously, but you know what I mean. Patrick Mahomes is on this list twice. Ben Roethlisberger is on this list. I mean, I'm saying that to say there's some really good quarterbacks who are on this list. So this doesn't mean that Drake May is doomed to be terrible forever because he's on this list, okay? However, let me tell you who else is on this list. That Kerry Collins game in 2000 against the best defense we've ever seen. The Rich Gannon game against the Bucs where John Gruden and them knew all their hand signals. rex grossman in the rain that first ben roethlisberger super bowl where he completed some ridiculously low number of passes the jerry golf game that i went to against the patriots oh my god that was the most boring football game i'd ever been to and the patrick mahomes game that it looked like they were playing against 13 people and i still contend maybe the best individual performance by a quarterback maybe I've ever seen. Yeah, I mean, if you look through, if you combine it through the whole postseason, four games, completed 57% of his passage, six touchdowns, took 21 sacks for an 81 rating. Oh, and by the way, right fast, on that Super Bowl, also on the list last year, Patrick Mahomes, which also looked like they were playing against 13 people, but was not, I repeat, not the best performance that I have ever seen. Like, against the Buccaneers, he looked like, a magician against the Eagles, he looked like he was getting sawed in half. Like, oh my God, but that's, that was what we watched. That was it. I also have to say this too about the game. I've never felt that the NFL concussion protocol had more integrity than it did in that Super Bowl when they took Jackson Smith and Jigba to the back to go check out his concussion. Because I thought they would have been in there like, I'm holding up two fingers, right? Right? Okay. Let's go. Let's get out of that blue. Yeah, they didn't even take him to the blue tent. They took him all the way to the back. Let's get him back out here. Let's get him back out here. Also, the Seahawks were good for business. We will still be able to have discussions about Sam Darnold next year because not good. He was not good. I mean, the first three quarters of that game looked like a game played by two coaches who do not trust their quarterbacks. Yes, and two quarterbacks who should not be trusted. Like, it's not like they did anything to make it seem like anything. Like, they were punts and draws and stuff where you were just like, oh. They were running on third and nine, third and seven. Yeah, was it you that was like, yo, the Patriots are calling the game like it's the snow? Yeah, I said that. What I talked to you about was at the end of the first half. Yeah. When they didn't take timeouts to try to get the ball back. No, no. And like, they would have gotten the ball back, and then they would have gotten the ball back to start the half. Which is, you know, the whole Patriots, Vrabel, Bill Belichick, you know, trying to double up right there. Yeah, and they're like, nah, nah, let's just go to the back, and let's just talk it out. Vrabel must be doing some therapy, because he was so positive with Drake May. And I'm just like, there's no way this is really how you feel. You play defense. Right. Like, that Patriots defense, boy, it's going to be a long golf season for them boys. And by the way, this is after Drake May was the like damn near MVP. I mean, he was one, one guy going rogue for maybe winning it, but the moment just a little bit too big. Yeah. It was, it was a little bit too big for super bowl champion, Sam Darnold. Let me tell you something for you, Sam Darnold. This ain't going to get you in the hall of fame. It might get you some more money. But let me tell you what is definitely going to be able to get you if you play it right. A job as a television broadcaster. That job is now wait. Don't mess around and get another. And he can. Clearly, he plays for a team that can overcome a quarterback. I mean, he's not only a Super Bowl champion quarterback. He is a USC graduate. Oh, yeah. Talk about someone who's going to get a media job. Fox is ready for you, brother. Yeah, come on down. But think about this. And this is perhaps the test. Again, the Seattle defense has been excellent all year long. They played well, but I did not feel like I was watching the 2000 Ravens in that game. However, what this defense has proven itself to be, and this is a short list, defense is good enough to overcome a quarterback. Because in many ways in this game, they overcame the quarterback that they had. Like when you think in your mind how many of those defenses truly exist, there really aren't that many of them, right? Like that's 85 Bears. That's 2,000 Ravens. That's 2015 Broncos. Where you're like, who played quarterback for them? Not just who played quarterback for them. Who played quarterback for them and how did that quarterback play? Oh, wow, he was Cheeks also? Ooh. Like the O2 the O2 Buccaneers with Brad Johnson The 2001 Patriots with Tom Brady who by the way whose name comes up on that bad run of playoff starters Tom Brady's there. Like, in fact, that's what this list really is in a lot of ways. Like, Drake Mays there. The Peyton Manning 2015. The Rex Grossman 2006. They didn't win it, but it's like, oh, we are overcoming you. 2000 Ravens. Tom Brady in 01. I feel like Shanahan overcame Garoppolo in 2021. Yes. But overcame... Jimmy Garoppolo's been the quarterback in two Super Bowls. You know that? Yeah. It's wild. You know, I mean, maybe all that money people spend it on quarterbacks, y'all getting it wrong. Maybe this isn't it. But you know what the thing is? Even Sam Darnold costs a bunch of money. Like, it's not like he's out there playing for $8.75 an hour. Yeah, I mean, he's, what, I think $30 million or so? Yeah, but hey, man, they've got a team good enough to win it on defense. They did it this year. This is, I don't know how sustainable it is, but that is, wow. Props to us for coming up with 15 minutes to say about that dog shit game. All right, Ryan, now it is our opportunity to talk about peripheral stuff. Yes. um now i want to say this right fast i feel bad for michelle to foyer for those of you unfamiliar with michelle to foyer she used to work sidelines um for i think she worked for espn she worked for nbc yeah she was she was on sunday night football for a long time and now she is running for the senate as a republican in minnesota right like she she she took similar steps to where sage steel was going maybe she just got more ambition because she actually out here trying to do something sage is out here trying to be on camera talking wow i mean michelle is also a shitty republican podcaster so maybe that is true maybe she's trying to fail up you know what you know what you're absolutely right sage is just better at being heard correct because i completely forgot that tafoy was out here doing this stuff but anyway i don't know who they talked to and like who really tested this idea that, like, bagging on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl was the way to go. But she sent a tweet that said, during halftime tonight, I'm going to do something I've never done before, fold laundry. To which Trey Wingo said, it's amazing you've made it this far without ever folding laundry. And look, I don't think Trey Wingo is some pink old commie. You know? I know Trey. He's Hal III. I'm just telling you. Like, that ain't really how he sees it. What I found so funny about that was, how insulted must you be if you are Kid Rock? Yeah, you couldn't pull up the live YouTube stream, couldn't change the channel? You put in all this work, and we came. I saw some clip from that Kid Rock show, and it was some country motherfucker rapping. Like, it was country rapping, and he wasn't a bad rapper technically per se, but I was like, what are we doing over there? I also saw a clip. I couldn't tell if it was real, but Kid Rock got mad because people went clapping and rapping along with him. So he walked off the stage. I have to admit, I did not see any of the Kid Rock show. I consider myself a bit of an expert in the culture wars and being on the internet for the last 10 years. And one thing about the, you have to learn about the culture wars is you have to know when the other side is fighting seriously. Yes. And if they're bringing up Kid Rock against, the most popular artist on Spotify, they're not taking this for real. No, but their problem is they're really bad at booking, right? They just can't really. Like, they got the Country Music Association Awards or Academy, you know, CMAs, Country Music Awards. That's what they got. They went out and got Zach Bryan. They went out and got Kenny Chesney. Then they're taking this seriously. I'm just saying, like, the CMA does the same thing and they get the job done. they can't really dial it up twice right you understand what i'm saying got garth brooks yeah yeah yeah like but they the cma speaks their language right like like they tell oba he used to tell obama jokes and stuff like that it was their thing but anyway um the thing so the thing i do want to say and i do think it's important to discuss this in talking about like i i i have felt that the suit the whole bad bunny pushback has largely been an internet contrivance right and that people who live on the internet, it was a super big thing and it was an easy thing to go to. I don't know how many people in the streets were really that invested in caring. I've never met anyone in my life who was anti-Bad Bunny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe, but I just... It's never come up. But my point is not whether or not they're anti-Bad Bunny. It's whether they care that much about the fact that Bad Bunny's playing the Super Bowl. Got it, yes. Right? I don't have an answer for how many of them there are. I do think, though, that it's worth pointing out that... everybody gets a little iffy when they don't speak the language. Whatever the language is that is put before them. Like when you start talking to people who don't speak the language, the worst comes out of people in those moments, right? Like this is no matter who you are, no matter what it is, once it gets to a place where you're in a place where you don't speak the language, how you feel about going to countries where you don't speak the language, anything else. Language, when people don't understand it, makes them very, very insecure. and we generally acknowledge that language is a significant part of culture. Like one of the things, really, no matter the country that you're in, if you immigrate to that country, one thing they want to know is whether you've taken steps to learn the language of the place where you are. If I learned anything when I was in Miami, it is that language is the great segregator. above all else. That is the number one is language, right? So the idea that people are a little iffy about an act that is going to speak entirely a language that they don't speak, I understand that on its face. The idea that people are like, huh, don't you think it's a little weird that it's America and the Halftime Act doesn't speak English, I understand why somebody might feel that way. The idea that anybody really cares or like get super mad about that, you're not gonna convince me that's like very, very real. Like especially not to the point of going to watch no fucking kid rock, right but it's a perfect line to draw if what you're saying is we're losing the country bro you know what i mean like if that's if that's your whole game and that's your whole hustle is we're losing the country bro then yeah this is going to be the thing that you're going to try to argue i get you on the other hand people are lazy ryan didn't you like it wasn't like it was on a channel that i was gonna have to you was gonna have to go find it somewhere right yeah i would say the overlap of people who wanted to turn on the kid rock concert but needed their kids to do it for them yo that's exactly what i was about to say like these are old people by and large and by the way old people who are gonna go get um an american badass right like it's not even they kind of music it's not even they kind of life the venn diagram of people who are trying to protest this halftime show people who love kid rock and people who can successfully navigate a smart tv yeah yeah figure out like is your airplay working is your chromecast connecting right now it might not be there's no guarantee that this is a website that is handling all this traffic You also have to take a break to realize that like, there's also going to be a 90 second rant about streaming and how everything was better when there was only three channels. Yeah. Like you gotta, you gotta go through all of this. No man, people, you're just not going to, how many people were actually going to do that? Or we're just going to be like, all right, well this shit's on, you know, I guess I'll go ahead and watch it. Maybe I'll use the bathroom. I have no idea that you're never going to convince me that there were that many people that were this mad about this. right? That the idea of bad bunny, that they were going to go through all these steps. He's like, I'm going to fold laundry. You can do that and watch TV at the same time. Shit. You think you're the only person that folded laundry during the Superbowl? Like this isn't, this isn't that hard. I folded laundry during the Superbowl. Yeah. This isn't that like, if that's what you go do, this isn't that hard. It just like this being your personality or this being your thing is the internet completely breaking our brains that is that that is that is the only way that i could receive this right uh i also love the idea that bad bunny is some uh messenger of the left you know i mean but but i mean this is also bad bunny who is uh you know participated uh wrestled in the wwe yes and uh been in adam sandler movies well here's what he also is somebody everybody knows who he is correct like like you couldn't position him as this some like outsider that they you know no no no no no this is a very famous well-known man like this is this is this is who he is and oh by the way he rocked that yeah look you know i talk a lot about taking the spanish lessons and stuff like that for whatever reason i struggle still to pick up like understanding spanish and songs especially that brand of Caribbean Spanish. I do not understand it. So like, I'm not listening to it and like know the words or everything else, but I know what I know was jamming when it's jamming. I mean, come on, man. We used to listen to the bone thugs. You ain't got to understand everything to know what's going on here, brother. That show was jamming from top to bottom. And I'm going to tell you this too. Even if them cats is like, they don't like Spanish. Let me tell you what, when there's a crowd pleasing and everybody seems to like spanish girls and it was it was lots of them yeah jessica albert even though the ones i don't i ain't the ones i ain't know the name of was doing just fine and you know what they look like and what made the show so dope and why it's kind of so wild and i'll just go ahead and put this out there why this was to me a significant improvement over last year's show it wasn't i'm sure there were things to think about there were messages to be offered whatever it is but what it really was was a big old good ass time that's what it was it was a party it everybody involved in that looked like they were having so much fun i'm not puerto rican obviously but i can only imagine if i was like he was putting on for the squad he put on for a whole nation ran through all the countries even through haiti in there because he ain't stupid right like like there was a message to the show certainly i don't know what it was entirely though because i don't speak spanish i need to speak spanish a they played the the new way of the york joint that's an old puerto rican joint check that one that was jamming brought ricky martin back out there didn't let him sing no vida loca or nothing like that that was what was up for whatever reason i understood his spanish better than i understood bad buddies they was looking out for uh some of y'all you know who i'm talking about y'all they had lady gaga come out there. Just one. Just one olive branch. And they gave it to us. That was a great show. I can't. Anybody who was coming out of it bragging about how they didn't check it out, you lost. You lost. Let me tell you something. Maybe the rest of the Super Bowl would have been better if it was in Spanish. How about that? Because the show was definitely better than the Super Bowl. The show was better than them commercials, too. Like, is that even a thing anymore? Like, Ryan, like, I also feel like because so many other commercials come out in advance, like the 50 Cent What About Beef, I thought that was pretty good, but it had been out for days. Yeah, now it's like a two-week marketing campaign leading up to the Super Bowl. Yes. So it's just, so like, part of it is like, we're not all getting the joke at the same time. Correct. So I think that, like, cuts out a lot of the humor. It's like, if, you know, one-third of the people involved know the punchline, Yes. But it also is just like a way to shove old people into getting some money. It is. It is. Now, I want to point out a couple of things that I noticed in the commercials. Number one, crypto back. Looks like it. Crypto back. Okay. People trying to buy the dip. Which keeps dipping. Yeah, but I guess they bought these ads a long time ago. Like, did they know Coinbase is back? and speaking of coinbase not one but two backstreet boys commercials and we couldn't leave that back in 1999 tell me why you know what i'm saying like like we could we had two backstreet boys commercials i wanted to change my sale of telephone provider after i saw that i saw somebody i think it may have been the boy cas who raised the question about um like it's just Timberlake just a bad friend yes I was cash like like all yeah all the all the Backstreet Boys they still get they still get together Justin Timberlake is like Joey who I don't know any of these people to be fair the Backstreet Boys need to be a collective that is very true nobody that's interesting nobody broke out you're right Justin Timberlake is like I gotta I gotta feed four more families yeah good point um so we got yeah we got two Backstreet Boys commercials um that Dunkin donuts commercial with all the people from the sitcoms did not make a dollop of sense they must have been paying big money too because they got urkel to put back on the urkel suit and you know he ain't really about that at all yeah he they they they got him out there um did you see the liquid iv commercial about looking at your pee i i i heard about it i did not see it they so i'm try to remember what song it was based on but it was like some look at me type thing or whatever and it was all about look at what color your urine is because maybe you need to take liquid iv and i'm here to tell you guys or maybe you need to drink some water like we used to do ads for liquid iv here okay so one thing that was interesting about that i have no problem saying this i don think this violates anything they were really big on don use the word hangover because they know what time it is Yes Okay Use the word water You can just drink water if that is your solution Like if you're looking in the bowl and your piss is too yellow and your thought is I need to go buy something, you are a lost cause. Mike Tyson did an advertisement for Make America Healthy Again where he just talked about how fat one of his aunties was. And then he's in there eating an apple. Did you see that one? I did. And I thought Mike Tyson is an interesting spokesperson for health. I just want to say that it's weird enough that we allow Mike Tyson to like be back. All the way back. Yeah. Three people whose we let them back doesn't make much sense in varying degrees for varying reasons. Well, Mike Tyson kind of makes sense because he has attempted to atone. Right. He's taken a great deal of responsibility. I think largely people pity him. Number two is John Gruden. And I said something on Twitter about this. and people were like, you don't forgive. You don't forgive people who don't apologize, right? He's never shown any level of contrition for it, which is why letting him come back around and how many of these football goos are like, ooh, John Gruden's so funny. Fuck you. Number three is James Winston. He's just kind of like, oh, he's so funny. And it's like, yeah, we just let them back. But Mike Tyson, that was shocking. like how he got everybody to come around. I will have to say, the commercial I thought was the most effective. Okay. Did you see the commercial with the tight ends in it? I did not. Okay. So if you have not seen this commercial, it is a commercial with a bunch of tight ends in it. It's got Tony Gonzalez. It's got George Kittle. It's got Rob Gronkowski. It's got another one. And it's talking about these guys being tight ends. And it's not really easy to understand what they're talking about. And Gronk is with a horse. I don't remember exactly why. And then Bruce Arians, it turns out, is doing the voiceover. And Bruce Arians is recommending to people that they go in for their prostate screening. and then he explains that you can go do a finger prick test now for your prostate screen and then when he tells all the tight ends that you can do the finger prick for your prostate screening they booties unclench they ends get looser you see you get it and I have to say a man of my age. Finding out that there's a finger prick prostate exam is the best news I got all day. It is definitely better than the alternative. Yo, that's really it. That's up there with finding out about the colonoscopy thing where you just boo-boo in a cup and put it in the mail. What? Yeah, you've seen that commercial where the dude is like, talking about going out in the snow, and he's like, actually, I'm just going on the porch. and then he goes and gets there. Yeah, so that's the test to see if you need a colonoscopy now. That's huge. So you don't automatically have to go in for the colonoscopy. Now, part of what's funny about that is I did that and then I went to the UPS store to send it off. And so I'm at the UPS store, but it didn't open until nine and it's like 845. And there I am for 15 minutes just standing outside with a box of dookie.

I want to make a point that I meant to make earlier about Bad Bunny that I think is most hilarious. Even if Bad Bunny was saying super revolutionary stuff, you'd have no idea because it wasn't in English. And apparently a lot of these people who were so mad, they don't even speak English that good. And I know that because you're worried that things got too woke or whatever words you use because of Bad Bunny. Green Day came out there and did songs from American Idiot, which is by the ways that people use the terms, the wokest that you could imagine. Like it is entirely a reaction to the set of circumstances that lead us to being here. Yes. It's saying it dead in front of you. And you were just, da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. You was just right there with it. Incredible stuff. All right. Speaking of people who had an interesting weekend, And Giannis, NBA trade deadline came and went. Giannis remained a buck. He then tweeted a famous meme from the Wolf of Wall Street that he's not going anywhere. He then came out as a sponsor for the prediction market. Kalshi, Bomani, what did you make of Bomani? I'm sorry, Giannis' interesting week. Well, once again, he is turning himself into Dwight Howard in the worst ways, just doing it all wrong. Doesn't want to be the bad guy to anybody. And people respect the bad guy. more than they respect the try to make everybody like you guy, right? We know you tried to get traded. We know you're trying to get out of there. Like, it's too many people saying this. We know that you're trying to get out of there, pretending like you're not and that you stayed because you had, nah, man, come on, dog. Like, stop doing this. You're making a fool of yourself. Now, I do think, though, the Kalshi thing is going to be a beginning for a lot of people, right? And I think it is incredibly cynical. and again, get us into like internet contrivance world. Do I think that Giannis started chatter about him being traded to generate business for Kalshi or to make some sort of, no, that's stupid. Like, I just, that's a level of cynicism that I can't get to, right? And also, I don't fully understand how these things work, but it feels like a huge federal crime. Yes. Right? Like, you're just whining about this. No, the feds would be on this if that's happening. That is getting dangerously close to things like insider trading. Yes. I mean, it's the literal definition of. It's the fix. You're shaving points, more or less, right? I want to say this about Cal sheet, though. And look, I'm pretty sure you guys just heard a FanDuel ad just before this, okay? So, you know, full disclosure. However, I saw a commercial for Cal Sheep that was one of the most disturbing things that I have ever seen. And it was the whole premise of it was you can bet on anything. And I don't know if you've seen this ad, but it says you can bet on anything. But what struck me about it was the way that it was edited was like it zoomed in on all these different things. And then it started doing it really, really fast when it was doing it. Oh, you can bet on this. Oh, you can bet on that. Oh, you can bet on this. Oh, you can bet on that. It felt very much like the end of Goodfellas, where as Henry Hill descends more and more into cocaine addiction, the paranoia is throwing in the anxiety, like everything in the production. And it felt like everything in the production of that commercial was buying into the anxiety of being addicted to gambling and needing something to bet on, right? It's not simply like, hey, you know, there are thousands of things that you could bet on if you happen to just want to have a good time. It was like, hey, you could bet on this. Hey, you could bet on this. Hey, you could bet on this. Everything around you. It's something to bet on. And if I was a person that was legitimately addicted to gambling, I can only imagine what it felt like in watching that ad. Like sports at least, sports gambling in its cell. And look, there's a lot of problems that come down with it. But at least in the cell of sports gambling, there is in fact sports, right? It's just like, hey, we're just making this little thing better, right? Cal She is like, the world is a casino, right? Like, Bill Maher, did you see Bill Maher's monologue on gambling was interesting last week? Did you happen to see it? I'm not. So I have my issues with Maher like everybody has their issues with Maher. But I will say after having done that job for a couple of seasons, those essays are really well written and really good whether you agree with them or not. But he made a very interesting point about what all this gambling says about America. And he was like, hey, man, there's a reason that all the like kung fu movies and stuff like that run through somebody gambling and that the casinos are like they are in Macau and these places in China. and he's like, because they ain't really got no hope. Right? Like, your chance to hit it big is going to be in a casino because how else are you really going to do it? That's where we are now. Right? Like, your only chance to get it is to scam it, basically. And gambling is a scam, but it ain't earning, you know? That's where we are. And Giannis put his face on it. The guy who went and got it like nobody else. like like few have ever gone and got it telling you to try to you know hustle it real fast if you can all right moving back on the college basketball unc duke was this past weekend unc beats duke on a buzzer beater uh they stormed the courts uh duke coach john shire was not happy saying that quote he had staff members get punched in the face by new or new north carolina fans storming the court after a late game shot for me it's hard to talk about the game where i was most connected to just for the safety of our players after the game i don't want to make it about that because carolina they played a great game to win but that's a heartbreaking loss for our team i got stabbingers that got punched in the face bo what was your reaction to this number one course storming needs to be banned like it is i mean it is 100 my biggest old guy change yeah it's like yeah maybe I'm just getting older, right? Courtstorming is an obviously terrible idea because no one can act right. It's ridiculous. Yeah. Like, when you think about what the very idea, think about this. We have security here for the whole rest of the time. The only time that we're saying we don't need security is at the most volatile moment in the game. And this is the part that people talk about with courtstorm, and I don't think we talk nearly enough about because we only associate court storming with something amazingly good has happened, and these people are storming the court to celebrate. One day, they're going to get their asses out there, and it goes the other direction. If you didn't see in this game, they stormed the court out of the Seth Trimble, hit the game, winning three, okay? But the game wasn't over. There were four-tenths of a second left, and so they had to get everybody back off the court, okay? I need you to imagine that that happens and they get everybody off the court and then Duke makes the shot to win. And now they run back out here again. You understand what I'm saying? Like this is, no, no, no, no, no. This is something that should not be allowed in the idea of, hey, man, this is white kids trying to have fun. And yes, the white part is important. 10,000 black people start storming the court. there's going to be an electric fence around that motherfucker after a certain point. You know what you don't see court storming? Professional events. You don't? Because they're still working when the game's over. Right. This is a terrible idea. That being said, when Shire said that one of his coaches got hit, I was like, before I develop an opinion on this matter, I need to find out which one it was. it's duke it might be somebody who deserved to get punched in the face um they have they don't have they're no longer in the era of having like wojo and chris collins on the bench which is assistants that i wish could get punched in the face like if you told me that after the game somebody punched steve wojo house key in the face my question is how many times and if they said once i'm gonna be mad because there was a lot more work to do what's your follow-up what's his what's the guy's Venmo yeah yeah yeah yeah let's go go fund me does he need bail like what like what can I what can I do to help him out like what is his name so I can get it on the back of a jersey that's what I would be doing but I went through it I got care well he all right with me I don't really got no problem with Tyler Thornton I didn't know nothing about the rest of the assistants so it's kind of like yeah okay and Shires never bothered right all right but yeah um the real moral of the story is it could have been the best week Well, the second, the third best weekend in the history of North Carolina sports. The first one being when they beat Duke at Cameron in Coach K's last home game. And then the second being or tied for first when they beat Coach K in the Final Four to end his career Right But if they could have had a weekend where they beat Duke on a last shot in an upset and then Drake May Luke May brother would have won the Super Bowl, it would have been excellent, right? But instead, Drake May had to play like, you know, your friendly reminder that it is still Carolina football now, isn't it? All right, a bit of a weird story. Heading over to the Winter Olympics. um wider the the wider the wider olympics and because of the snow because of the snow um some athletes are looking for an interesting edge and i'm just reading news here uh ski jumpers are allegedly injecting their penises with hydrochloric acid in order to fly just a little bit further though what was your reaction when you saw this okay so i want to be clear it's hyaluronic hyaluronic sorry yes that's a that's a but see that's important this this this this leads to my discussion that i had when my brain filled in that word because yeah yeah because look look look look if you were telling me that they were shooting up hydrochloric acid that's on me yeah yeah yeah like that's i feel like this story has much different outcomes i could be wrong but all right so yeah so the idea behind this is that you shoot up with the hyaluronic acid and it is it kind of like in the Botox family I believe so yeah and so like it's I saw it in a commercial yesterday for some like skin stuff it like it reduces fine lines and stuff like that like it makes things bigger and so the idea is that if in your ski suit there is some slack then it makes it better for ski jumping and so it's like this is an analog to tricks people do to make weight right in boxing and so the idea is that you get shot up with the hyaluronic acid and it make your joint get bigger and then you get fitted for the suit under those circumstances and then the swelling goes down and now you got the slack in your suit and then you can ski jump farther and all i hear is needle penis and acid now again there are many different kinds acid is a very broad term right as we covered earlier yes however if what you tell me is because i ain't no scientist we're gonna put blank acid in your joint nah man i'm gonna just do this fair and square because let me tell you what what i don't i could be wrong but i don't feel like these cats make that much money like that's some real love of the game shit that we talking about right here where you taking a taking a needle to the niddles nah dog not your boy all right bo voicemails a lot of great ones here's our first hey Bomani so I know you've talked a lot on the show about being a Braves fan and one of the things I've heard about the Braves is back in the day they had all of their games nationally broadcasted on PBS I was just wondering if you could talk a little bit about what it was like to have your favorite team on those broadcasts what it was like to watch them growing up and how that helped sort of expand their fan base um throughout the south and throughout the country thank you so the expansion of the fan base thing it's there are actually two factors to that one one of them is the superstation tbs being what is now tbs i guess people who i have to remember this is an age thing it used to be channel 17 in atlanta and then ted turner got it on basically Ted figured out these cable companies are going to need content. And so he threw a bunch of reruns and stuff on there and then sent it out everywhere. Ted Turner bought the Braves and the Hawks so he'd have content for the channel. And then the channel wound up on cable and got this distribution. You also have to remember, and this is still the case for a lot of the South, but there were many more places in America that didn't have teams back in the day, right? So especially in like the southeast part of the country, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, those places. The Carolinas. Yeah, North Florida. Yeah, the teams weren't in Florida yet. Right. And keep in mind with the Carolinas also, D.C. didn't have a team. Baltimore did, but D.C. has a bit more of like an influence in Carolina than like Baltimore reaches more up. D.C. reaches more down. But either way, those places did not have a team. And so during the summer, when you're not doing anything else, the Braves are on. Now, a big part of this, though, the Braves were terrible up until they weren't, right? You know, the Cubs have a nationwide fan base in a lot of ways because WGN did the same thing. The other level of it, though, with the Braves, that people don't realize is the Braves were on AM 750. 50, I believe, was the radio frequency. But it was a clear channel station. You could hear the Braves in your car on the radio all the way to like Louisiana, Mississippi, as I remember. Yeah, yeah. So it wasn't just the television, right? Like if we were on a road trip in that part of the country, we could listen to the Braves. Like they were everywhere for anybody to have. So that's for the fan base. For me personally, I can sum this up very simply. When I was six years old, the parents decided to move from Atlanta to Houston, which was not something at the time that I was really on board with. But imagine my surprise to get to Houston and to find out that I still have access to my favorite thing in the world, which was the Braves. I literally don't know what my life would be if the Braves were not okay. All right, here's our next one. Hey, Bomani. It's Casey out of Palmdale, California. As someone like you who feels people need to come on home when the time comes, what are your thoughts on this boxer who literally had his hairpiece knocked off during the fight last week at Madison Square Garden? He won the fight, but he ended up taking his hairpiece off after he got knocked off, throwing around and took it off, threw it in the crowd in between rounds and then went around the crowd and everything else. So just want to know your thoughts on that later, man. Keep up the good work. Hey man, I gotta be fair to this cat. And look, I believe in coming home when it's time to come home, but there's not, that's not a decision for me to make for other people. Right. I mean, I left home during the pandemic, for example, it's not, for me necessarily to say when you should or should not go home, you know. Trying to be fair here. This guy seems to have a problem, and we talked about this with a few people. LeBron James has this issue. I don't think that he really got the right shape for properly coming home, which doesn't leave him with that many options. You know what doesn't help? Getting punched in the head for a living. So that's the part that I was going to get to for him, which was did you did you stress test this right like like did you have any idea like what what this like when you went and got this you never bothered to ask any questions about gee i don't know man like i gotta make sure this thing can can stick around the whole way like if i was him that's what i probably would have been doing uh okay okay hold up he said that he used the hairpiece because he lost his hair because he accidentally washed it with ammonia bleach. That can't be correct. That has to be the Google AI just telling me anything, right? I surely hope so. That can't. That can't possibly. No, no, no. He said he lost his day two days earlier using a bottle of shampoo he found at his mother's house that was like, quote, ammonium bleach. I don't even know what that all right here's our next one hey bo money this is rodney out here austin uh let's see your show uh basically every day i'm gonna commute in and out of work the funniest name to go on the fc list i would say would be cannibal furris the dude that got coffee on the line might again i think that would be the funniest name all right buddy have a good one that would be pretty funny certainly ironic yeah i guess i think ironic is is the better way to put that that certainly it would also raise a lot of questions as to like who put Hannibal Burris down with Jeffrey Epstein yeah it was just listening to deep cut Burris yeah how did they get connected yes how exactly Hannibal Burris is so famous for a joke that wasn't a joke that was just some real spill all right gotta keep the bid going here's our next one Hey, what's good, Bo? This is Jalen from Kentucky, a black Jalen, that is. And when it comes to the topic of white Jalens or white Tyrones, I haven't met any of them. But when I was coaching high school football, our quarterback, who's a white kid, his mother was named LaNisha, the only white Lanisha I've ever met the only white Isha anything that I've met so just thought I would share that love the show keep doing what you're doing Ryan what I tell you about them loves them love ladies is out there but the Isha the Isha is a bit of a surprise yeah it's certainly different and speaking of love here's our last one what's going on Bo this is Eric in Stone Mountain Georgia I grew up in Oklahoma City, graduated from Oklahoma State, and I go back for homecoming from time to time, which in Stillwater is a really big deal. One of the events that some of my friends and I attend is the Black Alumni Golf Tournament. Golf is serious at OSU, and there are a couple of courses in Stillwater. Lord knows there ain't much else. But every year, the Black Alumni Association will rent out one of those courses for a day, and we'll have a couple dozen or so foursomes pay to enter a scramble tournament, and all of that money goes to scholarships for current black students. It's a really dope cause, and it's a lot of fun, even though most of us suck at golf. But one of those courses is called Lakeside Memorial. I had learned that it was designed by OSU's golf coach in 1945, which says a lot about what that dude looked like. But that coach was a former PGA Tour pro, And as the designer of that course, there's a sizable portrait of him inside the clubhouse. And when I saw this man's portrait, I had to do a double take. Matter of fact, I stopped and I took a picture because that gentleman's name is LeBron Harris Jr. Hashtag white LeBron. Have a good one, Bo. first of all i love how everybody uh sounds like my kit man but they sound off now yes and by the way lebron l-a-b-r-o-n e harris jr yeah is still in the league whoa good for him 84 years old he's still in the league wow made my day with that one I also want to throw something else out Other things I learned today It's a long story as to how we got here But I want to send a shout out To a lot of you Folks Who Like we keep it real Because I was around in this time Some of y'all bought that kid rock Devil Without a Cause record When it came out Y'all did Y'all was Bob with the bond. You know what I'm saying? Don't act like some of y'all didn't. Some of y'all did. I did not. So today, I learned for the first time something that I had no idea of, which is that Kid Rock has a song called, and I quote, Black Chick, White Guy. now i need you to understand that this song is a little truer to life than you might think because kid rock does have a black child dead ass and he loved this song so much that he put it out on one album and then did it again on another album and guys this song is so racist like it's so racist except brian it would make hank williams jr not hang out with him anymore just because of the topicality but it is of that level of of this is this is the so it's about a black kid who seems to me him who comes from the middle class and this black girl she came from a place that was so alone you know the same old tale of a broken home her mama was an alky and more like a friend and had three different kids from three different men and it's a love song about how they started having sex and then had a baby and then had an abortion and then i had to stop reading the lyrics on the page because i was laughing just a little bit too hard you think he played that song right again another sign that they weren't taking this culture war seriously is uh they went with uh the artist who had a song oh god i hope he still plays it at shows that would be amazing but hey ladies and gentlemen thanks so much for joining us here on the right time we do this four times a week ryan brumley handed everything behind the scenes thank you sir uh hit the voicemail line three two three five nine six seven seven six seven remember follow the right time.
