00:00Hello everyone, it's Adam Kaplan here again with former NFL offensive lineman Jeb Terry.

00:15Jeb, what brings you back to yet another Super Bowl as you told me?

00:18You're here again.

00:19I am here again.

00:20Well look, it's being part of the industry, coming back to the Super Bowl, this is a great

00:22week.

00:23You come here, you meet new people, you do business deals, it's part of the annual pilgrimage.

00:27Alright, so I know you're very tech savvy, you're into the tech world.

00:31So since you retired, let's move you up to your company Cosm.

00:35What is it and why do I find it so fascinating when I read about it on LinkedIn?

00:39Well Cosm, we are an experiential technology company, that's where we start.

00:43And we deliver one of the world's best fan experiences, building amazing experiential

00:48venues that leverage the best of the immersive industry.

00:50So think of AR, VR, XR, MR, all that tech.

00:54We have an amazing tech stack, we influence a lot of that world, but we also lean into

00:58the experience economy, meaning why is this interview so much better in person than it

01:01is on Zoom?

01:02This notion of human connectivity and fandom and energy, we bring all that together, we

01:07package it up and we deliver it in our venues.

01:09And we've opened two of them and we're enjoying some great success right now.

01:12Alright, so when you say venues, explain to our viewers here what that actually entails

01:17when you are opening a venue.

01:19So the core of our tech platform is a large LED dome.

01:23So imagine a 86 foot diameter LED dome that comes up over your head, comes around you,

01:3012K resolution, amazing display.

01:32We build, design, engineer that entire tech.

01:35Now apply a super high resolution immersive feed, so 8K plus, live from the biggest and

01:42best sports events in the world.

01:43And now you are sitting courtside, pitch side, on the sidelines with the best views in the

01:48house and that's what fans get to experience when they come to Cosm.

01:51It's like you're there.

01:52Wow.

01:54It's like you're in another world.

01:55Are you immersed in that area?

01:56So look, we love tracking what's going on in the sports gaming space.

02:00Right now, the states where we are, it's not legal yet.

02:03So we're in LA, we're in Dallas and Texas, we're opening another one in Atlanta and then

02:07soon Detroit, Michigan.

02:09Detroit, sports gaming is legal.

02:11So we will be leaning into that and having sports book type elements and things like

02:16that there.

02:17Yeah, it's going to be a fantastic deal.

02:20So I have to ask you this question.

02:21So you're a former NFL player because I know you're doing some media stuff, but do you

02:26know you want to get into the tech world when you retire?

02:28I knew I always wanted to get in the business world.

02:31Deal making, partnerships, investing, things like that.

02:34Always curious about technology, so it was a natural through line of moving into the

02:39space and climbing the learning curve as fast as I can on the tech front so I can speak

02:42the language.

02:43All right, so this game this week, we got another rematch of the Eagles and Chiefs.

02:47So my friend, you played the game on the offensive line.

02:51Do you know the Eagles have the biggest offensive line in NFL history?

02:55Maybe one of the best I've ever seen.

02:57These guys are absolute studs.

02:59Not only they're big, they can move.

03:01You don't see that all the time.

03:03The way they put this O-line together, the way they pull, all the schemes, the movement,

03:09it's super impressive.

03:10And you can see the way they communicate.

03:11You can tell it's a tight knit group.

03:14And then of course it helps to have a guy like Saquon behind you.

03:16These guys can move.

03:17I mean, they're out running in space, hitting people, and they're having fun.

03:20I think that's the best thing.

03:21You hear these mic'd up elements.

03:23These guys are having fun.

03:25They've got some great veterans.

03:26They've got some younger guys.

03:27It's just a great mix.

03:28All right, game pick, who do you got?

03:32Who do I have?

03:33I think the Eagles are going to win.

03:34Why?

03:35Because of that O-line.

03:36Oh, okay.

03:37That O-line, that running game.

03:38I think they are, I think they're going to do it.

03:40Well, you heard it from my former offensive lineman, Jeb Terry, he said the Eagles offensive

03:45line will dominate.

03:46For Jeb Terry, I'm Adam Kaplan.
