You were listening to the Badger Ready podcast. My name is Aaron McManus and I'm here with my father Irwin Raphael. McManus, can you say hello? How do you do today? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm doing really really good. It feels like it's been a while, even though we did two short episodes last week.

And there was a little bit of controversy around the two short episodes. We got some some negative feedback. Yeah, but it's really positive negative. It's positive negative because it would have been negative negative if people said we like the shorter ones because the less you talk, the better.

I don't want to read a couple comments. I'm going to I'm looking for them looking for them. And now I'm going to butcher some names and I apologize. This is on the Badger Ready podcast Instagram Instagram. And now if it's spelled J Holy H and it's called John. Okay, thank you so much. And now Rosala said, if you listen to it four times in a row, then it feels like a longer pod. Adam said already missing them full meals. Oh, that's so good.

The chosen Joe 15 said, man, I was a little bummed when y'all chopped at the time of full course meals down to apps. However, y'all still pack so much in 15 or less. So good guys. Oh, I don't know. I feel like he deserves a t-shirt.

There was one I, oh, this is my favorite one. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, it's probably okay, creative. Okay. My dog doesn't understand why are my dog doesn't understand why our walks are getting shorter. I tried to explain, but bite sized means nothing to him.

Mitchell Santana H says this definitely need all caps the longer episode. It's a need not a one for me. I rather a good hour every two weeks than a bite size guys. It's okay to scale back. You two have a lot going on. I get it.

But it really wasn't that I was too busy. It was that you were too busy. What?

That's not true. I decided to go skiing for two days, 48 hours. Yeah. What in the world would you think you're allowed to take a break?

I don't know. I thought you said it go take some vacation time. No, I thought I raised you better vacation. I was, we went to Park City. We, we skied. We snowboarded.

The first, I posted this on my story. Me, I'll post it again, but the first day was a torrential, just powder session, snowing everywhere. Wind was crazy. It looks so violent. Your mom was terrified. The next day she said, I need to hear from my son. I can hear from my son.

Thank God my friend was wearing bright neon orange because you couldn't see people five feet in front of you. Next day was absolutely stunning and beautiful. Park City is cool. You can walk into the middle of village and take the ski lift up.

So here's the confession. There were two bite size battle ready. Yeah, because Aaron McManus went to park cities and went to went skiing. I went skiing. So they were bite size because I had to get out of here, but I'm back now. All right. All right. I'm back now. So here we are. We're going to talk. We're going to do the controversial episode or do you want to do the easy episode? Well, let's mix it. Mix a match. No, no, controversy. Easy.

Well, we should probably talk about the Super Bowl and some of the fun things that just happened this past week. My guy, Tom Brady, in Tampa Bay, TB and TB. Are you talking about during the Super Bowl after Super Bowl? Because he was lit. Tom Brady had some fun. We're not going to condone it. We're not going to judge it.

But even even then even then he was able to throw the perfect pass to Ron Kowski. He was a super bowl trophy from one boat to another, even then he couldn't throw an incompletion or an interception.

It wasn't a fair game. It wasn't a fair game. No. But there's a great principle. I grew up with sports.

And my my stepdad was a gambler. So I learned a lot about vetting sports teams and knowing how to understand the dynamics that create wins and losses.

And so that world was a part of the world I grew up in. And one of the things that you look for when you're trying to identify great quarterback, especially in high school and college to move to college, go to the pros.

Is you want to find their worst game and then watch the game after that because their psychological recovery is one of the critical components to be able to sustain greatness or sustain excellence.

I think it's interesting that Tom Brady in the conference finals against the Green Bay Packers, which we're considered a much better team to the bucks.

Aaron Rogers won the MVP. I don't know how I feel about that. Well, not him as a person, just just my loyalty to Tom Brady.

Well, the thing is that you not give it to the guy who's going up for his seventh. Football is not basketball. You can be the MVP as a quarterback, but you're still not on the field when they're playing defense.

Well, we know football is not basketball. We keep giving it to James Harden. He's never made it to the to the finals. So that's true. So they don't seem to have that right.
