Stories From Our Super Bowl Week in San Francisco

From 30 for 30 podcasts. Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down. The key to this case, it's Brian. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing what's about. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. They're placing the arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now. Off top in 1967, Max McGee, a backup receiver for the Packers, got drunk the night before the Super Bowl because he thought he wasn't going to play. He had to play. Ended up with 138 yards to the Super Bowl championship. Play the music. This is the Dominique Foxworth Show. Welcome to the Dominique Foxworth Show. I'm Dominique Foxworth. That's Charlie Kravitz. I Googled a list of crazy Super Bowl stories because I thought we could just do a little recap, a Vant recap, because I think we got, every year we end up with a ridiculous amount of absurd events when we go for an extended Galavant and a Super Bowl, but this year I think was a special one. This one was so needed. We needed this Vant. We should let the fans in on what happened. We have some sports stories that we'll get to. Maybe. Yeah, hopefully. If the stories aren't as good as I think they are, we may not get to them. But I thought it would be a good idea to start with that. But I had forgotten that Diana Ross took a helicopter out of the stadium at halftime. Do you remember that? She performed a halftime show in 99. And instead of running into the back or whatever people normally do, a helicopter picked her up. I completely forgot about that. I forgot about that, too. The big aerial thing I remember is the descent when Lady Gaga jumped off the top, like that top area, the top row. I mean, the halftime shows have been, it's like the wardrobe malfunction is the only thing that people remember. Prince getting rained on. I think the helicopter you put in there. And remember the streaker? We had a streaker this year, but there was a streaker before who dressed up like a referee. I don't remember that one. The streaker this year could run. did um security needed some help Kyle Williams Kyle four three guy had to run him down um the Max McGee thing that from the off top one classic NFL films they they reference him in every every NFL films of early Super Bowls but two when we were walking around in LA before flying home from the Super Bowl I was like yeah I don't know if I can eat something heavy before this flight six hour flight and you're like maybe I would have been a better football player if I had taken my diet seriously but i can eat whatever i want it's totally fine it's something that i i i um you've divulged so much to me over the course of this last week i felt like i it's something i never tell anybody because i hear people talking about it and i don't understand it where they're like oh i can't eat that before i do this it's like i don't know man like my digestive system works i eat whatever i want to eat as much as i want to eat and then i do what i want to do i've never had to like plan or plan my meal around my activities it's weird to me i can't even podcast on people of a stomach the concept of playing an nfl game is crazy i um but it's been for every novak jokovich or tom brady there's a there's a max mcgee or dominique boxworth you can just get it get it done i mean maybe i was doing it wrong like if somebody would have taught me earlier maybe i had just been feeling like trash my entire life and i just think this is what it's supposed to feel like i should be eating healthier but it's too late now we're done you said la and and we went to la before the game yeah and to be clear i enjoyed our time in san francisco but la is real california oh yeah get the hell out of here i i immediately went on redfin sorry i'd look at it oh so we're how do you do this we should do our top five craziest things each from super bowl week but do you want to start with how we're going to the Super Bowl. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Do you want to start from my aspect of it, my side of it, or your side of it? Because I think I pieced it together. Yeah, you can tell it from your side. You said you pieced it together. I get on the plane and sit down, and then Chris Long, who you have on his hat, you work on his show also, and so I sent you a text like, oh, Chris Long's on my flight. And then that was it. Then I told the stewardess what I wanted to drink, and I started to get comfortable. So around that time, I think I texted you back because I'm on the group chat for Greenlight and I get this text from Nate Collins, Dr. Fax, who's like, Desmond Howard's on our flight three rows behind us. And so I text, I was like, I'm pretty sure he thinks Dominique is Desmond Howard, but let me confirm, let me confirm before I just assume, Nate's not white, by the way. Yeah, yeah. Just to be clear about this. That was the most upsetting part to me. I mean, because like I would have so much more fun with this. But anyway, continue your story. So I text Dominique. It's like, is Desmond Howard on your flight? And you're like, not that I've seen. Just Chris and his friend. Yeah, because I know Nate. I immediately text you and Chris separately being like, yo, I'm pretty sure Nate thinks that Dominique is Desmond Howard. you guys need to lean into this all week and i just get omg back from chris and dominie dom you're like bet i got this i can't wait and then of course chris is like he stares back at you immediately he looks back it's so weird because he's in like the first row and i'm in like the fifth row so everyone's looking and he turns a big stupid on his face and he was so happy but yeah that's what happened then the whole flight happens blah blah blah blah and then i get off with chris first and like hey i'll see you i gotta go to bathroom i'll see you at baggage claim so i go to baggage claim immediately chris hits the heisman the jessamyn howard heisman pose in front of me and said what up dez and gave me a dab and then nate is kind of like starry eyed a little like fan just like oh hey how you doing i was like yeah so i start playing it i was like yeah everybody does it to me and i like fake get mad at chris like everybody yeah everybody does it to I was thinking of heights. And I was like, all right, Dez, I see you around. I was like, can I come past the house? We're doing it. Just talking and knocking it around, having a good time. And I'm looking, waiting for Nate to do or say something ridiculous. And so we're good there. And I leave because Dez's car is waiting. Dez ain't waiting at baggage claim. Dez got to go get the car. The man is a Super Bowl MVP. I'm not hanging out at baggage claim with you fools. So Dez, me, go out to get my car. And I start texting Chris again. like we gotta can i come on the show as desmond howard while nate is there but chris is and of course i tell chris that i'm particularly disappointed because i mean brothers gotta know brothers like come on nate and uh but chris is a good samaritan i guess or a good friend and he prematurely if if you ask me spilled the beans there was no chance he was gonna be able hold it in he's like i could i could help myself his uh so the two the two explanations i got nate was like i had two mike tyson ear edibles so he was like i think i had 100 milligrams of thc i just looked back and saw desmond howard and then chris is actually he's like i i he's like we could have kept it going all week stanford steve wanted to keep it going all week he was super in on it um and he's like chris was like as an ally i couldn't let that you're not my ally you're not my ally oh god um it was amazing i mean it was such a funny way to start the week too um but i i landed and we went from there to our friend um my friend from business school uh sanjay who lives in san francisco and he's met us at super roles before and we've gallivanted with him before but now he's a big fancy investor and has courtside seats to the Warriors game so he picks us up well we meet him at the Dubs game well he plays it cool first he's like do you guys want to go to the Warriors game Steph is out and he's like you just gotta have the Ticketmaster app and send out your so I knew because I like I've seen he sent me pictures before from courtside where like Jay-Z sitting right next to him but yeah Charlie he sends us the tickets because he's like we're gonna have to come straight from the airport so Charlie gets the ticket and and then comes back to the group chat and it's like what the this this says a this is a is that not the reasonable response like I didn't like one does not just be like hey do you want to go to the dubs game and they put you put you courtside yeah I knew and he was he was pissed that he couldn't just surprise you like he said I wanted it to be a full like walk in and see it surprise but like I've been I don't know to like the coolest thing ever yeah I've been to like a Warriors game like three rows back but it is entirely different experience when you are like right on the floor and Steph didn't play and B didn't play of course Paul George was out Maxie played but it did not matter DJ Edgecombe looked incredible Edgecombe was awesome but it didn't matter because I just a few weeks earlier I had gone to see Marcus's son play in a tournament and of course we're courtside for that and it was just so much fun to watch like it's a bunch of Marcus's son Marcus Spears son is as I'm sure a lot of people know is the best basketball player in the country at his age so they play in these for these teams that are collection of all future NBA and high level college players so like sitting courtside for that was just incredible to watch now imagine multiplying that by 10. It's just so fun and impressive. I think you made the point that football is perfect for TV, but basketball, if you're close up, and people say that about hockey too. I've been to hockey games, but it a better live experience and watching that sport from that angle was just mesmerizing There so much weird stuff happening while we were there First of all Joe Lacob is like walking around His wife has four championship rings on her hand. Hugging Sanjay. It's great. Phil Hellmuth is giving gambling advice. There's a bunch of NFL guys who are just like, there's Cam Jordan and Dominic and Sue, Jordan Love, accidentally kicked over Jordan Love. Yeah, you did kick over Jordan Love. No, it wasn't. It was a can of water. No, it was a cup. It was a cup. I thought you kicked over his water. He had his cup. I kicked over some cup. I don't know what he was drinking. It was definitely water, though. I didn't know that. It was clear, so I guess it was water. I shouldn't assume it was a Vod Saad. He's a world-class athlete. Second most impressive athlete in his family, but world-class athlete. Yeah, that was immediately scouted that. I mean, look, he's a Packer. Could easily have been Max McGee's situation. It could have been a Max McGee situation, fortunately. Right after the Pro Bowl. Season's over. So prepare for this. I got this joke off on Get Up the day after the Super Bowl. So get ready. The whole year, when anybody else tells this joke, it's mine. The Super Bowl that is on ESPN next year is going to be on Valentine's Day. so i made a reference to jordan love playing in the super bowl on valentine's day mine got it i want trademark you're just taking all of it any jordan love for valentine's day any jordan love super bowl valentine's day that's on me to be fair i stole it from one of what i didn't see one of the get up producers eric fed it to me but i got it first it's ours me and eric that's us from here on out to the end of the year when you start trying to talk about Jordan Love playing the Super Bowl on Valentine's Day I did that I'm gonna go with Julian Love or Jeremiah Love yeah that's fine Jeremiah Love ends up like grocery for like 1500 yards as a rookie and is on Super Bowl team Julian Love did just get an interception in the Super Bowl so maybe he'll be back but probably not I we had that conversation too on the show like about um the chances that the Seahawks get back to the Super Bowl or the chances that the Patriots get back to the Super Bowl, man, it looks pretty grim. So we had to pick our way too early Super Bowl predictions, and I was like, if it's on our network, give me Bills versus Cowboys. Sure. That will never happen. They're going to fix the defense. I mean, the Patriots did it in one offseason. Let's go. Jerry doesn't spend in free agency like that. Also, hold on. Before we get into this, why does it look bleak for the Seahawks? No, it's just hard. That's all. I mean, it's hard. I get the bleak against the Patriots. it's much bleaker for the Patriots than it is for the Seahawks but I think that when you see the the teams that repeatedly go to conference finals and and the Super Bowls like you know the single ingredient that does not regress nearly as much as other ingredients is superstar quarterback so like that's the hard part I think is that defense would have to play as well as it did last year it's gonna have to do that again next year in order to get back to this place and that's just really hard defenses regress a lot of course yeah it's obviously really hard I just I was wondering if there was a specific reason why I look bleak for them but that no no it just looks it just looks bleak it we're starting that from the bottom all over again without a quarterback that gives you a cheat code but anyway I'm not gonna let you defend your people and get us off this dubs game because the first thing that happens when we walk in well I guess yeah never mind they're not your people also note nerdiest crowd in the NBA oh my god just just you know There's a conglomeration of high IQs and low EQs all up in there. The craziest thing about that is I thought it was probably a bit that that was different than Oracle because I've been to Oracle. And Oracle was like, I was like, how different can it really be? It can't really be like a Silicon Valley like tech scene. That's the entire. It is. It's just bubble vest galore. Just tiny, tight bubble vests all over the place. I mean, just it was a bubble vest with like whatever long position hedge fund gives you that Patagonia or VC company. But I mean, it was I mean, I loved it. Sanjay was also the king of courtside. He was like genuinely everyone. Everyone who was at the stadium was like excited to see Sanjay letting loose, having fun with his friends. He was beep bop booping everyone. I'm so I am so proud of my little South Asian son he's grown up to be such a a boon to my family and there was a tiny part of you though during the week when you got jealous you got jealous you got jealous of me and Sanjay that's all right you know what I got a better best friend than both well that was yeah we'll get to that um marcus spears who he'll eventually be my best friend too he just doesn't know it yet you are just a trojan horse best friend like i'm the trojan horse and you jump out and you best friend my my best friend we're we took a car with with marcus and in the middle of it i had to be like i had to reel it back you were scaring him i was so another story that we'll get to at some point Charlie is a Kramer however Charlie is from a crew of Kramers I met two of Charlie's friends from college and they told me about the house they lived in afterwards and they had a bunch of friends in there the one thing that I did not know could exist is a whole crew of Kramers minus the racism that's fair to be very clear I mean Kramer on the show not not kramer off the show whatever his name really is again the dubs game we got to get off the dubs game but the last thing i'll say we walk in and the gift that they give is like early in february so this is their black history month celebration they give us warriors hats with kente cloth on the brim like a kente cloth design on the brim and i'm like all right cool put on the hat i need a haircut anyway i'm getting one the next day so i put on a hat and as we're walking in they have like posters spinning around showing people of black history that they want to celebrate and like i appreciate the effort but it's like huey p newton i'm like do you have y'all ever read anything like of all the people in black history that you could put up there like i think huey p newton and i guess since they're close to oakland you gotta do that but it's like you know somebody who would hate all of this huey p wouldn't be down with it but anyway we get to the game and they do a bunch of different things to celebrate black history month one of which is an all asian dance crew dancing to squabble up was one of their black history tributes they were getting it however they had a black history kiss cam where they're just going around with like a kente cloth frame showing people i guess it was not it wasn't branded as a kiss cam they were just showing people and it was just all white people kissing so when people get on screen i guess they think they're supposed to kiss so in the defense of the warriors operations crew they were not trying to make it a white whites only black history kiss cab it just turned into that which was weird they also had um a bunch of ladies do the electric slide right that was weird also that was college brochure it was oh yeah they had a college brochure collection of people doing the electric slide which was funny was that all of the black history celebrations that we saw i think the one thing that got swept under the rug of that was we had all had our our kid day cloth hats and we were good to we go to the lounge beforehand yeah and the people working there were like yeah just just throw those on your seats like you you'll save it for halftime like but take that trash and like you'll you'll reserve your spot yeah we were in in this special fancy lounge uh with like four total black people on Black History Month celebration. And they were like, toss those over there. They're your seat holders. But I held on to mine because I got a self-respect. The four total black people, too, were Cameron Jordan, Baron Davis, you and Jordan Love. That's true. I laugh to keep from crying. What else? Is that it? That's all for the Dubs game? For the Warriors game? Yeah, that's about it. And they got their ass kicked. They did. They did. But we're edge comp. We're big, huge edge-gummed guys now. He's so talented, man. That was so fun watching. He's so talented. And I'm pretty sure Tyrese Maxey's played in the NFL. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, that was another bit that you had at the basketball game. It was like, who could have played in the NFL, but obviously wisely decided not to. What story do you want to tell one next? Well, I think that I don't want to jump ahead too much. Okay. You want to go in chronological order, not just in order of ridiculousness. Well, let's go through the – let's each have – let's pick a couple things. Let's each do our top three craziest things. Okay. Our power ranked things that we thought were the funniest from Super Bowl weekend. I'll let you go first. We'll go back and first. You're number three. Third craziest. Number three, I think – can we call Mina? Yeah, call her. I think we should call Mina because the – You're talking about my friend? Your friend. We met a guy named Tim, and Tim had a very particular skill that was amazing. I'm going to call Mina to see if she can join us. All right, I'm going to put you on speakerphone. We're recording an episode right now, and I'm telling the story of one of Charlie's friends, and I would just like you to express to Charlie in the audience the guy's talent and how incredible it was. Can you do that, or are you too busy? Mina Kimes, you're live Hello So, do you want me to tell the whole story? You can tap me in Tell the whole story from your perspective Okay, so after our live show We went to a bar And you guys had both invited friends And I think Charlie had a couple Yeah he did Anyways so I didn meet them After the show Or chat with them immediately but somebody explained to me Charlie has a friend I sorry I don remember who this was Was it him? Okay, let me just say this. Somebody said, Charlie has a friend here whose nickname is The Chugger. Yeah, I told you that. Okay, I think you did. and I looked up, looked around, scanned the room, and you know I don't like to profile. Immediately I was like, that's the chugger right there. It was a white guy about our age with a backwards baseball cap. Hawaiian shirt. Hawaiian shirt. I'm painting a picture here. Hawaiian shirt. And honestly, I would have bet my 401k that his nickname was the chugger. I hadn't talked to the guy. big jaw you know most important to the story so you know everybody kind of laughs and me being me i'm like i gotta see this because whatever i if somebody tells me something like that i have to see it so i pull him over i'm like so like how what's the deal what's the backstory how good are you at this and he gives us his whole like lore uh which is he really discovered he had this talent when he was in fourth grade chugging apple juice but kids didn't really appreciate it until high school for obvious reasons and i think he even i said well when was like what was the moment when you like really knew you had something special you know it's like we talked to an nfl when did you know you were built different and he said they were in a circle and everybody like maybe it was like a frat thing or something he said everybody had to chug and he chugged and then he looked around and everybody had just started and i think that had to have been like when derrick henry like first had football in his hands you know and i mean it was like he was like i just knew i'm different so you know i'm like all right now i see it he's like oh you know he's got like a you know he doesn't even have a beer and i was like i mean like what's it gonna take man to see you do this and he's like well you know i like to have some competition so i'm like cool cool all right so nobody wants to do it tice walks in nate tice out nate and i'm like you know who's another tall beefy boy and i'm like perfect nate get over here wisconsin and nate's like i don't know my chugging days are behind me or whatever but nate was with matt harman who it was copy paste nate big tall beefy dude and nate and matt was intrigued matt's like all right i'll do it and i was like you know what i'll do it too so they got and i said what do you want and literally before i kind of saying what do you want the guy was like but two butt heavies i was like whoa okay and honestly he was very like he was kind of pretending like he was playing a little coy yeah he was but it was it was like uh this is a little maybe you don't know this but chris chris and wig the famous like don't make me sing snl scary so we get them i'm like i'll take a bud bite because you know i'm me and we sat around we we in a circle i'm not standing around standing and Matt and I were like, all right, we got, they got pints. Let's go. And literally Matt and I lifted our beer to our lips. And as soon as I broke, like looked up, he was done. It was so insane. I've never seen anything like that in my life. Like I probably finished Matt had probably finished and I don't mean to slander him because I'm sure he, he probably finished like maybe 15 of his beer and this guy had chugged an entire pint so then i said and then he was like you could tell he was like he was like who wants to watch this you know so i was like all right you do it again so i can videotape it and i also wanted to see the physics of it yeah so the chugger gets another pint he was disappointed so it's important he said he caught an air bubble it was important to note that he said he caught an air bubble and i did a post i I did a post-chug interview. I think I did a post-chug interview after the second check. But anyway, go ahead. So he did it again. And again, it was kind of like, I don't even know how to explain it to people. It was literally like just watching someone take a breath. But from the outside, I do think this is like one of those things how like Michael Phelps has like weirdly webbed hands or whatever. He has like a very pronounced Adam's apple that you don't notice until he starts chugging. And then it's like, it literally, I think fishes can do this, honestly Yeah Fish So, yeah, and I could probably zoom in, telestrain the video Yeah, we got the video I took a video if you want it Oh, you got a video, okay Something's going on with the stroke I don't know, that's all I gotta say I'm not saying he's like on PDs I'm just saying, like, he's just, this seems like a genetic thing And that was it, yeah Thank you, man I took the video, I showed it to many people that night Maybe everyone, like, I kept getting like, that's disgusting I was like, what are you talking about? This is like a raw talent. So Mina, I'll let you go in a second. I want to tell you a couple of things. I don't know if I, oh yeah, I think I might've texted this to you, but it's important to know that the post-game interview, after I think his third chug, I said, it's incredible. It's almost as fast as if you just poured it out. And he got offended. He got offended. Like he thought you were accusing him of cheating? No, no, no, no, no. he got offended because he was saying what's special about it is it's faster than you pour it out because he creates a vacuum he's like what i could beat so he's saying he could beat someone pouring out a beer just pouring out a beer because he how does this not like like a reality series like you know like versus the shark like of this man he said he and then we asked him oh i left out an important thing okay also do you go to ever like just show off your talent and go to bars and he said not a lot but he has hustled in the past and but he has to like sweeten the deal like so he'll be like i bet i can drink three beers in the time it takes you drink one and everyone's like of course i'll take this and then he just schools people oh the last thing i'll say before I let you go is we met him for dinner again later in the week. They met him into restaurants? Sadly they do. He was trying to chug the whole night but we wouldn't let him. But I'd never seen someone more proud than when he said he had a son. And I was like oh cool. And I started laughing like oh your son chugged? And he straight face. He showed potential. Chugging milk? yes he was serious so whatever uh mutation that he has that's made him the great chugger he believes that it's chug jr a little chuggy a little chuggy on the way i don't want to be like unkind but i never want to know this man's name i won't tell you yeah that's fair chugger's better he's the chugger to me anyway well tell nina we said hello and have a good night bye guys it was the best it's ridiculous it is well during this segment if you were listening on podcast go to youtube because we'll have put in the three videos of the chugger and it's i've been seeing this for 15 years i've never seen anyone chug in person before so that's my first chug experience yeah i've never seen it like i know it's like a college party thing that was not a thing that happened at the football maybe it was at the lineman parties well that wasn't at the db parties nate tice maybe we can set this up maybe at a future date even if it's even this might be something that we can get on like netflix but nate tice claims that travis frederick is the only person he's ever seen who can chug like that and he's like i think travis frederick can get him and i was like i was like nah dude like whatever this is like nobody is like when someone says this is like when someone says that he's the jordan stopper um i saw him chug i saw him chug a six beer pitcher faster than someone chugged one beer it was pretty crazy um but uh yeah he was great and then my my other my other different friend who's not an athlete had an hour-long argument with you dominique because he thinks he can start under the basket with the basketball being guarded by kawaii leonard and get to half court meanwhile i've played this guy in basketball i've never seen him dribble with his left hand that was the most ridiculous thing do you want me Do you want me to call him and ask him if he still thinks he can do it? Sure. By all means. He's in the West Coast. He might still be at work, but he's going to know what I'm calling him. It's an insane assumption. And so, to be clear, let me paint a picture of this guy. He's 5'7"? On the roster at 5'7". Yeah, he's a roster 5'7". He's got – obviously works out. He's in good shape. but to be clear i asked these questions when did you stop playing organized basketball so i was like so where'd you play in college i didn't play in college did you play in high school no he stopped playing organized basketball in the eighth grade and this man tried to convince me of course i dismantled his argument it did not take an hour the rest of it was me trying to decipher what type of mental illness he has. The best part is our producer, Kevin, has played basketball with my friend Marsh. When I told him the story, he was like, wait, it was this guy? To be clear, I broke it down. I was like, all right, so do you think you are faster, stronger, quicker, or smarter? What advantage are you going to use to get past Kawhi Leonard? He said his response. Charlie, do you want to say what his response was? there's a lot of court. You just kept saying there's a lot of court. And this is why. And then they went on to tell a bunch of other stories about their other friends that they all live with. Some of which I don't think I can share, but to be clear, we lived with the, we lived with the crackhead. He will. He's, he's not a crackhead anymore. He was a crackhead for a time. He would go out and go do crack with people around We also only talk about this Some of us in New York We only talk about this in Super Bowl week We first talked about this in Super Bowl in Vegas then it was brought back up in New Orleans It like an annual tradition. It's mind-blowing to me that he would go just do crack and then go to work and then come back in the house with y'all like nothing. You know what? The irony of this is you did a Foxworth Friday and Bomani show, and you had an argument where he said there is occasional crackheads, and you're like, occasional crackheads don't exist. I texted Bomani and was like, i know it was it was functional like i i did not yeah occasional crackheads and functional crackheads was something i did not know of like i didn't like i i learned that like some people could do cocaine and operate but i was like no no you can't be like occasionally a crackhead but anyway this is just a couple of that name yeah of course there's the chugger and then there's the kawaii stopper and then charlie which charlie has a whole bunch of other weirds and like charlie's he's he's got some got some kramer to him but woman's a quirky yeah charlie's normal he's he's the cool guy in his crew yeah it's weird you did you are the jerry seinfeld of your crew and you did have a jerry seinfeld observation in san francisco where you just were like why san francisco so hilly yeah it's insane they decided to build on that plot of land it is insane and then midway through the week at the beginning you were like haha like whatever and then midway through the week you were like these hills yeah yeah yeah i mean i assume that this is just i'm sure we could google it find out but i assume that's where the goal was right like we moved west the goal is here we put our house here and we put our businesses here and then they just keep building up like somewhere along the way somebody should have said hey at this point there's no reason to still be here and it is like if you've been to san francisco you know what we're talking about but it is i don't know it's like the it's on a 30 degree angle like all of it like all of san francisco is like built on like if you played high school football you know the hill that you ran up for for punishment that's all of san francisco it's just one big hill and if you want it takes you five minutes to walk somewhere uphill, it'll take you one minute to get downhill. You just all gravity take you. It's insane. I've been to San Francisco once before, but I was in college. But I hadn't been there in a long time. And the part that we were in was near the baseball stadium. And I didn't get to experience the hills like we did there. Well, I'd only really stayed in the marina and Russian Hill. And I was like, sorry, I wasn't going over the hill and back. Fancy, fancy. We went over. We went from the marina to downtown like 10 times each that week to go from the green lighthouse back to downtown uh and other stuff so it was like we just went over that them them darn hills over and over again all right we got to tell some some quick hitter stories because i feel like we're getting long we were thinking like 20 minutes and it's like we're 35 minutes and we've gotten through two stories so you and we both have new best friends do you want to tell you so you're yours is marcus my new best friend yeah yeah he's been saying this for a while now that we're best friends so which is great and i had to rein it in couldn't be too weird in front of him but you know who I could be my new best friend's Rex Ryan he doesn't know it yet oh yeah that's great so we went to um we flew to LA and Rex was um on get up the morning after so we did get up from LA so we went to LA Sunday morning and so me and Charlie so when I do get up on Mondays Monday after like I did it like four or five times this year I would watch the games with brandy rex um it's like the countdown crew um teddy alex smith um adam shaftor and greenie this time it's just me teddy rex greenberg some producers including charlie i don't know i mean we can't share very many of the things that rex ryan says but rex ryan yeah rex ryan he's I explained this to Rex. I was like, Rex, I love you because you are like a little voice that I have in my head. However, I have a bunch of other voices that jump on that voice and tie it down. Because the things that you say and do are not things that I don't sometimes want to say and do. But before it makes it to action, the rest of the voices jump on that and say, that's ridiculous. But Rex, he lets it fly. And Charlie, very entertaining. I think we could say that Rex Ryan, he hasn't left the 90s. Rex Ryan? No, no, no. He's permanently. He's not doing the timeout. We need 90 seconds in the 90s to tell a story. No, no, no, no, no. He lives there. So that's the end of the Rex Ryan story. But Charlie, we hung out with him. Well, the only thing I thought was the funniest part, it was like he was late. He got there just late to watch the Super Bowl. And there was a real question about whether or not he was dead. No, we knew he was alive, man. We knew he was alive. Not everyone did. I assumed he was alive. Some of the Get Up producers were like, wellness check on Rex? Nah, they knew. They were just playing. What other stories? So, quick hitters, do you want to do Snack? Do you want to do FanDuel? Do you want to do the nugget story? Do you want to do the Mina? First of all, who's the coolest person you met? Coolest person I met. Was there anyone who was your starstruck? not this super bowl i don't think i wasn't i mean i it's when you go to the super bowl you kind of expect to be around these people right so like well yeah am i forgetting somebody well i think it's the it's what we have so for me it's bo jackson i got to meet bo jackson i was like his aura was like what the gen z kid said his aura was actually crazy like it was like he walked in and just like ruled the place was like i'm the greatest athlete to ever live but i feel like it's um he's not a better athlete than me desmond howard but anyway that's a good point that's a point um but i think it had to be when you got us so you got us into the fan duel vip and yeah this is amazing here we go um we get into the fan duel party and there's like a green day concert about the start and i will say this let charlie lead the planning committee for this year's super bowl parties hella white hella white we i hear i hear that fabulous is performing somewhere And I'm at the Green Day concert. But I'll take charge of the planning committee next year because Charlie gets us. Charlie took us to the new heights and all those things. So it was great. I got us into a couple of parties. You did. A huge step forward. Which is awesome. So Charlie got us into the FanDuel party. And then we get there. And I see that there's another stage that's like a VIP. And I was like, nah, we're not staying here unless we're up there. So I go to one security guard and talk my way in. And then from the VIP, I scout out the other because it's a couple different staircases to get there. I scout out all the security guards and I'm like, all right, that's the one. So I go down to that security guard. You have to have a silver wristband to get a VIP. And I was like, hey, they told me to go get these guys, these wristbands. I'll be right back. I appreciate it. I'm Dominique. Nice to meet you. So I build a relationship with this one specific security guard that I like. So we got to get three people in VIP. Then I go out, and the woman who we knew at the front, she said, we're out of silver wristbands. So I come back, grab my three guys, and we just walk with confidence past the security guard. I point to her and point to the guys behind me and start walking through. Me and Charlie get through. Sanjay stops and starts talking. And I go back, snatch Sanjay up, pull him up. We get up there on stage. and then you want to be an American idiot starts cracking off and it's actually pretty cool and also by the way Green Day looks just like Lisa Rinna from the Traders now like the middle-aged woman from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills they kind of I mean they was kind of doing it like this yeah they were we left before it was over but it was a pretty good concert it was great it was sick yeah Charlie was standing with um Gavin Newsom Tyra Banks and um Shaggy from Scooby-Doo and Charlie's just hanging out with him, rubbing elbows. I was lurking close because I was just so – I was like, oh, Tyra Banks talking to Gavin Newsom. That makes sense. Gavin Newsom, just some tall, good-looking people trying to save the world. I forgot. And then there's a Matthew Lillard, Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, is just – I forgot this part. Chirping his ear off. Sanjay walks up to Gavin Newsom and just gives him a dap. Oh, yeah. He's like, I see Gavin courtside. This guy, he was a meek little guy when I met him in business school. Now he's the king of the bay all of a sudden, this Sanjay character. Him and the Chugger. Yeah, him and the Chugger. Yeah, the Chugger is the true king of the bay. But that's it. What else? Oh, this other story is quick. After dinner, we go to a bar. This is a random one of the nights. We're at a bar in the middle or like out in San Francisco, like away from the Super Bowl festivities. It's a crowded bar. We're hanging out with Charlie and his college friends. Yes, very cool bar. A guy in the back of the bar screams, Snack Harlow! And runs over to Charlie. Runs up. So, like, we all are startled. Like, are we going to have to fight in this bar? And he runs up and hugs Charlie. He's like, Snack Harlow! The vanilla snack is here! We're not even near Super Bowl. Like, this is clearly not someone who is here for Super Bowl. It's someone who lives in San Francisco who is a Charlie Kravitz fan. and yelled in the middle bar. I'm standing there like, I'm chopped liver? Charlie's blowing up on me. But anyway, that was a short story. That was great. It was great. And I had eaten an edible and was probably too zonked out to totally appreciate at the time. But to my fan, you were awesome. I think we did it. Let's talk about sports stories now. Get serious. Get your serious face on. Do we actually talk about sports stories or do we do that on Thursday? Yeah, let's do it on Thursday. I was with you. All right. Thank you, Charlie. That was great. Great recap show. I feel like we should put a disclaimer at the top. If you want to hear us talk about sports, do not listen. Thanks to all the great producers. We out. This is the Dominique Foxworth Show.
