00:00I'm feeling better this morning after your day off yesterday.
00:02What's your lead today?
00:03I can't stand the dentist.
00:04They're the absolute worst.
00:06I have very limited life experience compared to everybody else in this room,
00:10most of the listeners as well.
00:11One thing I am so confident on,
00:14Super Bowl watch parties are the absolute worst thing invented to man.
00:19They are terrible.
00:19Very controversial take time.
00:20They are terrible.
00:21It's half the people you don't even like at the party.
00:24Half of the people have never watched this night before.
00:25Hold on, hold on.
00:26Before you continue now,
00:27is this when your team is in it or just in general?
00:30Because I think it makes a difference.
00:32It does make a difference.
00:32So this Sunday,
00:34you're saying you don't even like it if the Pats are in.
00:37When the Pats are in, it's worse.
00:38It's worse when the Pats are in
00:39because you have all these fair weather fans
00:40who just show up and they're like,
00:42oh yeah, I watched the team.
00:44No, if you think in 2018,
00:46Stephon Gilmore was a bad corner
00:47because he let one pass up in the Super Bowl,
00:49that is the worst take I've heard in my entire life.
00:51I couldn't stand that girl in high school.
00:53I still don't like her now.
00:54And that was the worst take I've heard in my entire life.
00:56They're not fun.
00:57Stay at home.
00:58Get four or five friends.
00:59Get a couple of brewskis if that's what you do.
01:01Order a pizza.
01:02It's not that complicated.
01:03Well, Curtis tried that
01:04and he threw his friends out
01:05during the Atlanta comeback
01:06nine years ago today.
01:07Well, before the comeback, yeah.
01:08I'm kind of with Curtis, though.
01:09Like, I enjoy...
01:10Well, happy birthday, Maya.
01:11Oh, tomorrow.
01:12Tomorrow.
01:12She's born just after midnight.
01:14It's birthday eve.
01:16Okay.
01:17I'm with Curtis on the fact of
01:19I like to leave a Super Bowl party
01:21after the halftime performance,
01:23especially if the Patriots are in it.
01:25I like to watch the second half of the game alone
01:28at home, me and Santo.
01:30That's it.
01:31So that's what we will be doing on Sunday.
01:32But the beginning of the game,
01:34oh, there is nothing better.
01:35All the snacks, all the treats, all the drinks.
01:38That's true, Tom.
01:39You get more food if you go to a communal event.
01:41I'd rather just order a pizza and watch it with my family.
01:43No.
01:44Like, if my best friends in the world were in Boston
01:48and we, like, eight of us with their significant others
01:51watched it, that'd be great.
01:52But that's never the case
01:53because everybody lives all across the country.
01:55I'm 100% with Tom.
01:56People that want to talk during the game about, like,
01:59do you think they're going to come home in here?
02:02Like, no thanks.
02:03Well, you know you're in for that.
02:05You just have to, you know,
02:06that's part of the American experience.
02:07You just have to be a nice person, Tom.
02:09I'm fine with the Super Bowl party
02:11if the Patriots aren't involved.
02:12Yes, yes.
02:13Full agree there.
02:15Also, a bar for the Super Bowl
02:17if the Patriots aren't involved.
02:18But that might be an old head take.
02:20Like, I remember my first year here.
02:23Patriots weren't in it.
02:24Greg had a great table at Lincoln.
02:26Lincoln's, like, I mean, iconic
02:27for watching any type of sporting event.
02:29Can you say it with an up-talk, please?
02:30Greg had a table at Lincoln.
02:33And I went to it, and I got overwhelmed
02:36and had to leave at halftime.
02:37Really?
02:37That could also be, like,
02:38we wake up early for the show,
02:40we talk about the game,
02:41so I just felt, like,
02:42out of sorts there and wanted to be home.
02:44See, our McGonagall's watch party
02:46for the Bills game this year,
02:47I thought that was great.
02:48Just being in the crowd.
02:48It was a blast, but it wasn't the Super Bowl.
02:50Right.
02:50And I will say,
02:51one of the great nights of my life,
02:53I turned 21 when the Patriots,
02:56on the day the Patriots won three out of four,
02:59beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl
03:00with my roommate who was an Eagles fan
03:03and watched the whole game at the Sports Depot.
03:06And it was spectacular.
03:07The Sports Depot and its hate name was awesome.
03:09I was at the Sports Depot for that
03:10and for game 704.
03:12Wow.
03:13Awesome.
03:13This is a good lead, Tom.
03:15Very controversial.
03:16So do you agree with Tom,
03:18you're going to watch the Pats game alone
03:20with a pizza, Greg Hill style, this weekend?
03:22Well, not alone, but, like,
03:23with my mom already said she's not going out,
03:25she's going to watch it upstairs
03:27in the house on the couch,
03:28and that seems like the perfect way
03:29to watch the game.
03:30What's the best way to watch the game
03:31this weekend, with people or without?
03:32It's 617-779-7937.
03:35Or with people till halftime.
03:36Oh, I have to say, though,
03:37I'm trying to figure this out,
03:39like, because I have a son.
03:42You don't mention him that often.
03:44The drunk talking about his kid again.
03:48People do like your shirt today, though,
03:49and I always compliment that one.
03:50Very nice.
03:50Yeah, I mean, I love it.
03:52Have you lived in London?
03:52Blue is one of my...
03:53I did.
03:54Funny.
03:54Yep.
03:55Foggy spot, but very lovely.
03:57And so, with a toddler,
04:01I'm sure James will be in,
04:02I mean, he likes ball,
04:03but you've been...
04:05Yeah.
04:05He never still.
04:07So do you invite...
04:08Well, if there's chicken tenders,
04:09he usually sits still.
04:10That's true.
04:10And he does love you.
04:11Yes.
04:12And you guys are his two favorite people.
04:14I love him.
04:15So...
04:15Me too.
04:16My question is,
04:17do you bring another family or two over
04:19that has a toddler
04:20so they can go do, you know,
04:23handstands for three hours?
04:24I am going to a Super Bowl party
04:26with my dear friends.
04:27You guys know Sarah and Tucker.
04:28Yep.
04:28Sarah and Tucker are hosting.
04:30The...
04:31There are four...
04:33Four couples that are going.
04:34Everybody else has a child
04:36around the same age,
04:37so the kids will all play together.
04:38So can you imagine passing that up
04:40because you're afraid
04:41to, like, socialize with people?
04:42No, I know.
04:43I would never.
04:43You can always go back
04:44and watch it again tomorrow.
04:45Sarah's such a good cook.
04:46Like, I just know the food's
04:47going to be so good.
04:48I'm bringing stuff
04:48to make myself Shirley Temple.
04:49Like, I'm looking forward
04:50to Sunday so much,
04:52but I probably will leave
04:54after Bad Bunny gets off stage.
04:56And there is nothing better...
04:57Is James a Bad Bunny fan?
04:58Yeah.
04:59I tried to get him off it,
05:00but, you know...
05:01Oh, gosh.
05:01Too much MSNBC.
05:03But the...
05:05He loves Maddow.
05:07No.
05:08So...
05:08But the best feeling
05:09is Sunday morning,
05:12waking up,
05:13going to a grocery store,
05:15going to get your coffee.
05:16The entire city...
05:18I get goosebumps
05:18thinking about it.
05:19It's just got this, like,
05:21buzz to it.
05:22It is the great...
05:23Knowing that your team
05:24is playing on Super Bowl Sunday
05:27and to just sit back
05:29and relax.
05:29You got the 20-hour
05:30pregame show.
05:31Shime's going to be on
05:32Wiggy's Keys.
05:33What are they going to be?
05:34Right.
05:35Mind the noon,
05:35football Sunday.
05:36I am so, like...
05:37What's the weather?
05:38We got to get away
05:38weather forecast.
05:39I remember back in 96,
05:40they did a thing
05:41on one of the stations
05:41where they did, like,
05:42the Super Bowl road.
05:44Yeah.
05:44And there was this great, like,
05:45montage of the events
05:47of the season.
05:48And it's just...
05:49You're on the precipice
05:50of history.
05:50If they win this game,
05:52they have the most
05:52Super Bowls of any team
05:54in the history...
05:55More Super Bowls
05:55than any team
05:56in NFL history.
05:56And the more I think
05:57about this, like,
05:58Tom, you just want to, like,
05:59yell at your TV alone
06:01and, like...
06:01This is a generational thing.
06:02Yes.
06:03No, like,
06:04it's so crazy to me.
06:05When I was your age,
06:05I wanted to be around
06:06the most people possible
06:08so that we could all hug
06:09if they scored a touchdown
06:10and scream and celebrate,
06:12like, and get smashed.
06:14The fact that you just
06:15want to watch at home
06:16with your mom...
06:17I love my mother.
06:18I love your mom, too.
06:20But, like,
06:20what has happened
06:22to the younger generation?
06:23No, he's right.
06:23He's right.
06:24He's very angry this week.
06:25The worst one I went to
06:26was my sophomore year
06:27of college.
06:28I just left.
06:29We threw one.
06:29I got rinsed for pizza.
06:31I had one slice.
06:32They wanted to talk
06:33during the game
06:34but be silent
06:34during the commercials.
06:35It was the absolute
06:36worst experience.
06:37And maybe Coco,
06:37maybe I'm just scorned
06:39from bad experiences
06:40in my life.
06:412018 was a bad one.
06:422016, we left.
06:44The only good Super Bowl
06:44party I went to
06:45was in 2014
06:46because at the end
06:47of the game,
06:48the house that we were at,
06:49the TV went out downstairs
06:51where the parents were
06:52and the kids were all upstairs.
06:53So when Butler
06:54picked the ball off,
06:55everybody in that household
06:56was in one spot
06:57and you had the
06:58jumping up and down,
06:59my dad's swearing
07:01his brains out of the TV
07:02because they won the Super Bowl.
07:03My mom's looking at him
07:04to stop swearing.
07:04That's what you could have
07:06Sunday,
07:07three days from now.
07:08Instead,
07:08you're by yourself.
07:09Nope,
07:09I have the one
07:10perfect memory from 14.
07:11I'll watch it.
07:12If I see my twin brother
07:13and my older brother
07:13and my parents,
07:14I'll be happy.
07:15One or two friends
07:16want to come to the crib.
07:16That's cool.
07:17But don't you guys,
07:18I mean,
07:18we all have text threads
07:19with our close friends.
07:20So like,
07:21you're not really alone,
07:22even if you are.
07:23You're talking to your buddies,
07:24you're whatever.
07:25It's not the same.
07:26You missed that high five.
07:27You missed that group hug.
07:29You're Mr. Germaphobe.
07:31Yeah,
07:31well,
07:31that was a different era.
07:32Okay.
07:33Let's go to Steve and Winthrop.
07:34Hello,
07:34Steve.
07:36Hey,
07:37you guys,
07:38Super Bowl parties
07:39and New Year's Eve parties
07:41are for rookies.
07:43If y'all go to a Super Bowl party
07:45and you don't know anything
07:46about what's that?
07:48Keep telling them.
07:48Keep going.
07:50Yeah.
07:51If you go to a Super Bowl party
07:53and you don't know
07:54what's going on,
07:55please don't wait
07:56for the play to be going
07:57and you ask your question.
07:58Half time is plenty of time
08:00for you to write down
08:01or ask anything you want.
08:03And all these knuckleheads
08:04are silent through half time
08:05and then all of a sudden
08:06the game gets important.
08:08Hey,
08:08why are they throwing the ball
08:09to the sideline like that?
08:11I can't stand it.
08:12I like watching the game alone.
08:15That's such a hard-o-take too.
08:16I'm sorry.
08:17Like,
08:17there is a happy medium
08:19between being pissed.
08:21Like,
08:21I understand people
08:22that want to just talk
08:23about nonsense
08:24through the entire game.
08:25But at the same time,
08:26if you're there
08:27and you're the person
08:27that's sitting down
08:28like,
08:29you know,
08:30watching the game
08:30and telling everybody
08:31to shut up,
08:32like,
08:32please.
08:33Super Bowl parties
08:34and New Year's Eve parties
08:36are for rookies.
08:37New Year's Eve parties
08:38are for rookies.
08:38207 texture.
08:39Courtney,
08:39you're a Steelers fan.
08:40You just don't care
08:41about this game.
08:41That's...
08:42Like,
08:42we gotta get over that.
08:43It's like,
08:44it's old.
08:45She's just jealous.
08:46They did beat the Patriots
08:46this year,
08:47one of the few teams.
08:47So you've got that going.
08:48They did,
08:49but like,
08:49I enjoy the Steelers.
08:51I support the Steelers.
08:52I am a Patriots fan.
08:53I've always been.
08:54And it's crazy to me
08:55after years and years
08:56of going to Steelers games
08:57wearing Steelers merch
08:58that this year
08:59was the year
09:00to pop off about it.
09:01Well,
09:01Rabel called you out.
09:02He hates the Steelers.
09:03It's personal.
09:04Well,
09:04they drafted him.
09:05Well,
09:05punch cow in that interview.
09:06I know.
09:07The jaw.
