Summary
Wings, parties, trucks, commercials, and many other elements associated with the Super Bowl are brought to the table by Andy and Ari in today's show! Did the "twisty" method work for Ari, and why did Andy ingest 75+ wings at one time once when he was in college? What is Bryan Harsin supposed to do for Auburn now? How will he pitch recruits? Is there any way he and Auburn can salvage their relationship? Plus, a deadly turtle and approximately 580 miles separate you from millions of dollars. What do you do?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Andy Staples show. It's a post-super Bowl edition. Ari Wasserman is here. |
| 0:15.0 | And the only reason I think he's here is because Joe Burrow did not lead a touchdown drive at the end of the game, because |
| 0:22.6 | Ari, if he had, I think you probably would have been celebrating. I don't think you would have |
| 0:27.3 | come back. No, yeah. If the Bengals won 27, 23, either, I guess it wouldn't have happened |
| 0:34.1 | in overtime, but if he would have let a touchdown drive there at the end, we would have been $3,000 richer. |
| 0:41.0 | It was a combination of squares because I had 7.3 at the end in the fourth quarter. |
| 0:48.0 | It was a combination of money line bets. |
| 0:51.4 | The over didn't hit as a result of it. |
| 0:54.1 | And a lot of things went wrong. |
| 0:56.5 | But I'm like the type of person that bet so many props. |
| 0:58.6 | I didn't even know what I was rooting for half the time. |
| 1:01.4 | But I did get Odell Beckham to score the first touchdown of the game at 12 to 1, which was nice. |
| 1:06.5 | Nice. |
| 1:06.8 | And then I had Cooper Cup anytime touchdowns, which I think is the easiest bet in the history of mankind. |
| 1:12.3 | Yeah, he had lots of discounts. |
| 1:13.3 | And I don't know if we're going to get into a star's discussion on the show. |
| 1:15.6 | I think we might. |
| 1:16.7 | But of course, the fact that he was an unrated prospect is amusing to me. |
| 1:20.8 | Unrated Cooper Cup and three star Aaron Donald, the most important people in this game. |
| 1:26.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:30.9 | But that's that's gambling, man. You know, and I had a bunch of money line plays on the Bengals to just win outright. And I had plus four and a half. And it would |
| 1:38.0 | have been a disaster, you know, if the game would have gone to overtime and then the Bengals |
