I'm gonna do this voice. Yeah, it's like a movie boy. Give me something to say. It's kind of a movie voice. Let me use this while I got it. You sound like you're part of Elvis's band. There's no in a world in a world. It actually is. I've got the movie voice over voice right now.

0:17.0

Wow, what's up? Chris is on button. I don't even feel comfortable being the host of the show anymore. It should be you. That did kind of sound like it actually on hearing it back. You sounded more Hollywood movie. Yeah, whatever the hell they call that position in life. What does that even called the voice over guy? Okay, voice over guy. Hey, what's your job? I'm a voice over guy. Yeah. You really did sound like it there. So in lieu of that. Yeah. Think right now.

0:47.0

Fucking open up the podcast right now. Okay, in that voice. In a world of two in a world where two people sit down with microphones and talk about Super Bowl XLVI. Is that what it is? I think you gave one too many eyes, but that's all right. Yeah, it's it's better, but it's still not there. It's still not there. Damn. I've never had this. This is like crazy. Like soft tissue hamstring injuries. Right. It's like I thought I'd be back what they said two to three weeks.

1:16.7

And now it's like week four, five, six. What's going on? You got the laryngitis. Is that I don't I've never had. It is going around a little bit laryngitis. I wonder if you do have it. So good. I'll give it to you right before you're. That's great. That's great. You've given me so much to be thankful. But here's why I don't feel so bad about that. I know you would do the same for me. Right. You would show up. You know, I'm showing up today. Not a hundred percent. So yeah, thank you. But I feel like it's good because you've shown up here. Like for the last two weeks gone. My family's passing around some bugs. So we're all in the family together here. Yeah. They were

1:46.7

like, oh, this is what they have. You go, that's exactly what my family has. So now we know where we got that. Exactly. Right. Exactly. That's just what we do. We're a family. That's what they say here at NBC. Right. We're a family football is family. If you know, we share time together and all of our. All our diseases, which is what you guys did in the football night in America screening room all season long. Well, it's definitely exactly right. I mean, listen to me more of a family. I stopped brushing my teeth in the morning. I don't even put the owner in anymore just to be like you. Yeah. Have you gone full bidet? Have you done that? No, I have not gone full bidet.

2:16.7

You're missing. I am still brushing my teeth in the morning just so you know, but we did find out that Florio doesn't brush his teeth in the morning. Right. So wait, well, so hold on. Florio is not a morning brush. He was very offended too. That I brushed my teeth in the shower. Like that was some crazy thing in the morning. Yeah. Wait a second. Yeah. I brushed my teeth in the morning. Oh, you don't do it at night. Yeah. I don't do it at night. I don't know which one's worse. Actually, I think his is. I don't know. Yours might be worse. What are you talking about? I just go to sleep. Like no one's smelling my breath with a whole day of shit in your mouth.

2:46.7

Yeah. But at least now you know, I brush my teeth. You're like, you're like, you're a cablean. Does no, you want to know why you haven't, you haven't any kisses? I mean, intimate kisses lately. Yeah. That's why I'm just letting you know. That's not a bad call. That's not a bad call. You know why she's putting those window greens next to your nightstand. Yeah. Dropping hints. Right. Dropping myths. She goes. She goes a rest your voice. That's why she's saying rest your voice. Now she doesn't want me to breathe on her. It's all making sense. All right. Hopefully we make sense on this podcast here today. So what we're going to do here.

3:16.7

We're actually not going to get too deep into the Super Bowl because there's been so much that has happened news wise throughout the league. Right. And we've got some ask me anything questions from the homies that do dabble a little bit on the Super Bowl. Yeah. The touch it our Monday pod, which we're going to let you buy in the curtain here. We're actually going to tape it today. Yeah. Yeah. So you'll get you'll get your analysis on the Super Bowl. Right. So if you're wondering why my voice still has not got any better on Monday. That's the reason why. So this this pod right here wearing the same clothes. Exactly. This pod's going to be about the

3:46.7

big news. Let's get into the big news. Let's do it. Yeah. There's no bigger news than what happened in the middle of your show today with Mike Florio. Tom Brady says Sinar so long. On the on the scale of zero being not shocked at all, 10 being completely shocked more than I've been shocked in my whole life. Where did that land for you when you found out? Seven. Okay. I mean, I thought realistically retirement could happen here. I actually thought about it less here and over the last month. I mean, I think I even said last week. I was like,

4:16.7

six weeks ago, I would have told you he was retiring for sure. Right. And then I get to the end of the season. I was like, I don't know. It's starting to seem like maybe he will find one more destination or one more spot to play. So I didn't know what to expect there. I think that's the first thing. And then I think what the most shocking part of is just how it was done, you know, just out of nowhere Wednesday morning. I'm going to be on the beach and I'm going to film myself and make a video, which I do think is cool too. I'm going to give him credit for that. Like not having a whole big press conference.

4:46.7

I do think Brady at no point want him this to be a big thing to overtake a season or anything like that. Right. So that, that's where I guess I was shocked. You know, I know I said this on the pod into you before. I know some people in the Brady orbit 45 was always the magic number.

5:04.4

And that's kind of why at the end of last year, I was like, I kind of changed my tune at the end of last year or as a guy, some people are telling me, hey, he said 45. The guy always does what he says. Right. And so

5:15.0

that's where I thought maybe it would happen, but you were hearing rumors about maybe he was looking for another team. The way it went down at the end of last year with the retirement quotation marks when he was actually trying to go to the Miami dolphins.

5:28.3

I didn't know what to expect with Brady, you know, this off season. So

5:33.4

it's crazy. It's crazy. And go ahead. What? No, we're going to say you were about to stop. Well, I was going to just say, it's like, I do. I just being a football guy that talks and

5:44.2

we talk and do this all the time. I was like a little bit like, you know, what, what, what happened, right? Did the teams that maybe that he was looking at say, nah, no thanks. We don't want to do it. Or

5:55.1

there's just no team that makes sense like Tampa did, you know, two, three years ago, right? That's a part that's, you know, one thing I thought of, did the

6:04.9

Raiders kind of say, hey, yeah, wait, Tom, we like you, but we're just, we don't want to do this for the one year thing, right?

6:11.3

You know, 49ers, and then we've talked about them because I think that would be a team he would look at for sure.

6:17.8

And I wonder if he just finally saw the writing on the wall, like, man, I'm not going to find a spot that really makes sense. So

6:22.9

let me call retirement. I don't know any of that. I'm just throwing that out there for food for thought. If you really

6:27.8

was on the fence, though, right? Why now? Right? I almost the timing makes me believe, like he really didn't want to play
