If you listen to this show long enough, if you know that I have a bad case in nostalgia for the 90s, early 2000s, but even I know when nostalgia gets to be too much. And I really felt that way on the Super Bowl last weekend. That's what I want to talk out today, decompressed a little bit about. So yeah, Monday's Wednesdays, here on the Council of Trent, we talk apologetics and theology, but Friday, hey, we talk about whatever I want to talk about. And today is the Super Bowl, and it was an okay Super Bowl.

Seahawks versus the Patriots.

I think we kind of, it's always hard when you watch a game and you feel like you see the end

coming in the first five minutes of the game. I know the Seahawks were favored. I'm glad that it

at least wasn't a

shutout and there were at least, you know, touchdowns and things freed up a little bit more later in the game. I mean, I didn't end up finishing the last part of the game. So when you have kids, you're just like, ah, I'm tired and the kids went to bed. I'm going to go to bed too. that's the life when you get a bit older.

But I mean, I would have stayed if it was more of a nail-biter game. But it definitely moved a lot slower, right? Both teams, their defense was just really high. So, I mean, the Seahawks were only, they were only to get any points just with field goal kicks. Not even, it took a while. I mean, you get to, this was the fifth Super Bowl where nobody had scored a touchdown by halftime. So it's like, okay, it's not moving that great. So, yeah, I was thinking about, you know, just watching it. And it was fun. We just had a little family party, just got the kids together to watch. But it was really an interesting contrast, especially when you have kids and you're really paying attention to the Super Bowl versus when you don't have kids or you're not married and you go to a Super Bowl party. It's a lot different because when you go to a Super Bowl party, especially like before you're married or especially if you go to a party where all the kids are running around, if it's a big thing, everybody's running around and talking,

you're actually not watching the game that much. I saw a clip online of somebody who during the

Super Bowl, they were playing a recording of an old Super Bowl instead as like a joke, and nobody noticed.

And it was a lot of young women who were in the crowd at this party. So, you know, they might have just been wanted to be at the party anyways. And the game is just, it's just an afterthought. So there is that element when you go to a big Super Bowl party that like the game really takes a back seat. So it's a lot different. Like we had just, we wanted to have just a nice little family, just immediate family,

just my wife and our kids.

They're ages 11, 9, and 5.

It was still fun.

We got little decorations, got the buffalo dip.

My wife put out a little spread.

It was, it was delightful.

It was exquisite. But it's a lot interesting

then when you sit down, especially with your kids and you're focusing on the game rather than having

chit-chat walking around and always getting an excuse to go back up for more of that seven-layer dip.

So when you watch with kids, though, you'll notice things like, oh, the commercials.

And you're a lot more on high alert, by the way, for the commercials. Like before you have kids, you can laugh at whatever. But then when they got the horror movies coming on, you're a five-year-old's like, that's too scaly. That's too scaly. You know, they're like, oh, gosh, why did they put in this horror movie thing. It's supposed to be for families. So, you know, it's always hard then when

you watch kids. Like, I'm clenching the remote and oh gosh, why did they put in this horror movie thing? It's supposed to be for families.
