Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Join me tonight.

It's my good friend Nate Tyson.

How you doing, buddy?

I'm doing well. I think the last time I was this close to you is when we were at the 2020 draft or 2021 draft, and we were snog in that hotel room doing a live stream. So here we are. We're separate chairs this time, at least. A couple steps forward, a couple steps back. This is really the only option. We're recording this live from the Super Bowl.

We are in a makeshift little party lounge area next to the stands i don't really know how to describe it but this is what we got for you guys if we're going to bring it to you live from the game and we really really wanted to bring it to you live from the game because it's fantastic to be here, especially when

you get a game like that. It was amazing. I mean, I'm glad you. It's your first one. It's my first one. And we knew it would be a good one. So that's why it was it lived up to the hype. There was ebbs and flows with the game. There's great play from both quarterbacks and the other other players stepping up, which is what we wanted.

Yes.

And that's what we were hoping for

in the preview show.

That's why we spent all that time

hoping like,

this guy might be the X factor.

This guy might break it. and the other other players stepping up, which is what we wanted. And that's what we were hoping for in the preview show.

That's why we spent all that time hoping like, this guy might be the X factor. This guy might break out. And it kind of happened. And also the kind of stars were starry in this game. But no, I'm so glad it was this one I went to. Maybe not the tail end of the game. but for the first 58 minutes it was I mean a memorable, a memorable game. You quoted me. That was a legit quote for anyone that saw Robert's tweet that said, I freaking love football. I love this game. This is awesome. You said to me straight out, just, I can't remember what, I think it was after the chief scored to go up 28, 27. And you looked at me and you said, this is fucking awesome. I love football. That's, that's all straight face. And it wasn't even trying to be funny or anything. I just said straight face. I think it was Tony's touchdown. It was God, you could just feel the abs of those of those games, especially when it's like a neutral site like this. So you hear both crowds, a little more Eagle, A little more Eagles fans. It was a good crowd, though. Yes. It was a good crowd. There was a reaction to everything to happen.

There was a good crowd though.
