Hello, happy Tuesday, relatable listeners. I think that's the first time I've ever started with hello and not hey, what's up?

I realize that I say hey, what's up every single time. I have no idea why I do that. I don't do that in real life.

But I've realized it's kind of my signature and for some reason my brain today was like, nope, you're gonna say hello.

So hello, hey, what's up? Hi guys, it's Ali.

Thank you for listening to relatable. I hope that you guys had a great weekend. If you're anything like me a huge football fan who knows everything about football, you had the best weekend ever preparing for the Super Bowl, watching the Super Bowl with your eyes peeled and just celebrating for hours and hours after I mean, I'm still recovering.

Uh, this is your first time listening to the podcast. I am joking. I know nothing about football is many times as someone has tried to explain what football is and what like a down is I still I just I don't know what it is. It's kind of like math for me. It goes in one ear and out the other. And I know I'm being such a stereotype right now of girls, but I'm sorry. That's just who I am. I don't know anything about football.

I do like the environment and the atmosphere and the kind of like the spirit of football games. And so I did. I mean, I enjoyed watching it. My husband said I talked too loud the whole time because I was talking to my sister in law. And he said that we were being kind of aggravating with how much we were talking. I didn't even notice. I didn't even notice that we were talking. But I guess. Yeah, I mean, I looked up after two hours in the game was over. So that makes sense. I am going to actually talk about the Super Bowl today. Don't worry. I'm not going to use any football.

I'm not going to talk about football metaphors because I think I would fall flat on my face. I am going to talk about the demonization of excellence that I think is happening in our country, particularly on the left side of the political and cultural aisle.

Doesn't really have that much to do with football. But I'm going to use it as an illustration or as an example. And then we're going to get into the political side of it. So for those of you ladies who are like me.

I'm not about the NFL only know of Tom Brady because in high school you thought he was hot. I'm going to give you a little refresher. I'm going to give you a little brief on who he is. So obviously the Patriots won. If you didn't know that you're like your worst than me.

The Patriots won the Super Bowl. This is the sixth Super Bowl win for Tom Brady. He's been to nine Super bowls. He holds the record for a career wins 237. I read on ESPN.com.

People hate Tom Brady. I've known that for a while. I kind of follow barstall sports from a distance just because I think their model is interesting. Not because I agree with their content or how they explain things or the language that they use.

But I noticed how many people that follow them or who are a part of them not to be important. But other people in barstall hate Tom Brady.

People that follow them. People just in life. It seems like hate Tom Brady and don't want him to win. My husband is not one of those people. He has like the TV 12 book and reads from it and like even has these like pants that Tom Brady suggested that athletes wear. So he's a fan.

And I've just always thought it was kind of odd. Why? Why do people hate Tom Brady so much? So I started asking some people really it comes down to not liking how much he wins not liking that his life seems so perfect.

He is married to a super model. Jezele. He wins so much. He says things like I am the baddest mofo on the planet. He apparently said that last month.

There was also that whole deflate gate thing that I remembered was from 2015. I feel like that was just yesterday. But that happened a few years ago where he and the Patriots were accused of deflating the balls to make them easier to grip.

And yeah. So that happened and people didn't like it because of that. They think he's a cheater that maybe he doesn't have integrity because of that whole thing.

But they also don't like him because in 2015 there was a mega hat in his locker and that was caught on camera and he apparently was a friend of Trump had played golf with him before. There is a picture of them playing golf together.

So this was a big scandalous deal. Daniel Radcliffe, you know, like Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe said just a couple weeks ago when he was in an interview with variety that the whole world is cheering against the Patriots because of that.

He said, dude, take the mega hat out of your locker. Number one, we have no idea if Tom Brady actually supported President Trump in the election. In fact, Jacelle, I'm pretty sure came out and said, we don't support President Trump. I'm sure Jacelle isn't a conservative or a Trump supporter. So that's probably true.

I have no idea if he voted for him. He wasn't outspoken about him very much in the election. He said he wasn't going to talk about politics anymore. He hasn't talked about Donald Trump since then. And he also said that he believes that the players should have a right to kneel in the NFA during the national anthem.
