Chapter 1: What happened in the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl?

149.672 - 151.214 Krissy Hoadley

Well, they are the city of brotherly love.

0

151.254 - 164.687 Bryan Green

Well, I'm already reading they're the city of brotherly love tearing the city of brotherly love apart currently right now. Did you know that they canceled school in Philadelphia on Monday a week before the Super Bowl even happened?

0

164.807 - 165.248 Krissy Hoadley

Oh, wow.

0

165.328 - 165.548 Bryan Green

They were

0

165.928 - 166.449 Krissy Hoadley

Preparing.

166.529 - 182.825 Bryan Green

They were preparing because they knew that no parent would be in a condition to drive their child to school the very next day. They were getting the DUIs off the street because everyone was going to celebrate well into the night, regardless of whether or not they won or they lost. And man, did they.

183.065 - 201.962 Bryan Green

I was just reading all about the shenanigans going on in Philadelphia last night and probably well into the morning as the Philadelphia Eagles won over the Kansas City Chefs and the... Excuse me, the Taylor Swift Chefs. The Taylor Swift Chefs lost to the Eagles in a romp, Chrissy. It really was a romp. In a total romp.

201.982 - 205.045 Krissy Hoadley

God, Chiefs had zero going into halftime.

205.125 - 221.056 Bryan Green

They had no fight in them. They had no answer for what the Eagles were throwing at them. The Eagles' defense... It looked like they were playing against children. It really did. They sacked Mahomes six, seven, eight. I stopped counting after a while. Six, seven, eight times.

Chapter 2: Which celebrities were spotted at the Super Bowl?

424.696 - 426.197 Krissy Hoadley

He was a Lincoln. You're right.

0

426.517 - 434.083 Bryan Green

Yeah, wasn't he? Yeah. Wasn't he driving around that Lincoln? Now it's Jeep. Saying things like, I keep getting older, and they say the same age.

0

437.256 - 441.739 Krissy Hoadley

Well, that's in American Graffiti, but... That's not American Graffiti.

0

441.839 - 441.999 Bryan Green

No.

0

445.901 - 445.881 Rachel McGrath

1964.

445.921 - 451.665 Krissy Hoadley

No, no, no. Wait, what is it? I loved that movie, too.

451.685 - 456.708 Bryan Green

I'm going to let you think about it. I'm going to let you stir here for a second.

456.728 - 458.129 Krissy Hoadley

I was about to say Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

458.209 - 468.095 Bryan Green

It's not Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Do you know it? No. Dazed and Confused. That's right. Dazed and Confused. One of the great movies of the 90s, for sure.

Chapter 3: How did Fox's production enhance the Super Bowl experience?

697.081 - 698.062 Krissy Hoadley

Yeah, dance around. Yeah.

0

698.402 - 701.645 Bryan Green

But I thought that the Super Bowl halftime show was fine. It was fine.

0

701.685 - 710.892 Krissy Hoadley

I guess I missed that Serena Williams came out at one point. I kind of missed that. Serena Williams came out at one point? Yes, she was there. Where was Serena Williams? She was part of the show.

0

710.912 - 711.112 Unknown

Really?

0

711.132 - 717.992 Krissy Hoadley

She came out. Truly? Yes. Seriously? Yes. That's what I was reading about, and I was like, I've missed that.

718.192 - 726.834 Bryan Green

I am getting too old. How did my brain just fart and not see Serena Williams? I watched the entire thing pretty intently, and I didn't see Serena Williams, not once.

727.095 - 729.675 Krissy Hoadley

Maybe you just didn't recognize her. She was kind of glammed out.

729.795 - 731.796 Bryan Green

Oh, was she glammed out? Was she one of the dancers?

732.777 - 736.12 Krissy Hoadley

I can't remember. Again, I missed it, but I read that she was there.

Chapter 4: What are the highlights and critiques of the Super Bowl commercials?

1027.794 - 1030.876 Ad Narrator

A sitting president. Mm-hmm. Huh. Yes.

0

1031.176 - 1039.66 Bryan Green

You would think that, what is it, Super Bowl 59 or something? Mm-hmm. You would think that after all those- It was Licks. It was Licks. Oh, yeah, that's right. L-I-X-X.

0

1041.141 - 1041.501 Krissy Hoadley

L-I-X.

0

1041.962 - 1050.984 Bryan Green

L-I-X. What is that? What does the L stand for? The L stands for? It stands for 50? L-I-X. So that means one before 10. So 59.

0

1051.064 - 1052.285 Unknown

Yeah, that's right. Okay, so 59.

1054.126 - 1076.58 Bryan Green

So you would think that after 59 Super Bowls, there would have been one president who decided to show up. Well, that's taxpayer dollars well spent right there. Shut down the Superdome so that Trump can come in and check it out. Listen, I got no problem with Trump showing up at the Super Bowl. It's obviously one of those things that most Americans tune in. It really is.

1076.78 - 1087.731 Bryan Green

I thought Obama was a big football fan. And certainly Bill Clinton, you know, the Super Bowl's got a lot of ladies that show up to it. Ladies of the night, you would think Bill Clinton would have been there to get some action, right?

1088.111 - 1088.592 Unknown

I don't know.

1088.632 - 1100.043 Bryan Green

Hey, what do I know? I'm just a guy. I've never been to a Super Bowl. I'll never go to a Super Bowl. I don't know. It just seems like not something that I'd, it's of all the sporting events that I could go to, the Super Bowl is way down on the list.

Chapter 5: Why is the Starlink project controversial?

1483.635 - 1488.396 Krissy Hoadley

No one – I mean, and who is? Does Verizon not cover most of it?

0

1488.436 - 1497.278 Krissy Hoadley

There's plenty of people that go out to those remote locations and people in other developing countries. So, you know, Starlink itself I think is probably a good thing.

0

1497.958 - 1520.295 Bryan Green

I don't think so. I don't think so, and I'll explain why. Okay. You are fucking up the one – place close to earth that we have not fucked up yet which is our near earth atmosphere you are stuffing it full of little flying machines that by the way are coming down out of the sky all the time there was a lot of space junk yeah there's a lot of space junk

0

1520.475 - 1541.205 Bryan Green

And we're just creating more space junk, which is going to make it harder and harder to fly into space, harder and harder to see our own stars, harder and harder to, you know, navigate all these other things. This is like one huge experiment that no one knows what's going to happen. And now there are tens of thousands of those things flying in the sky. I have seen them with my own eyes. Yeah.

0

1541.385 - 1559.085 Bryan Green

It is rather disturbing because they are not stars. They are just little satellites providing internet to people in the Sahara Desert, I guess. Listen, I understand. I agree with you. In developing countries where you don't have internet access, I can understand how Starlink could be beneficial.

1559.485 - 1570.869 Bryan Green

But I think you could probably do that for developing countries with far fewer pieces of space junk flying through there. I just don't agree with filling our sky with a bunch of junk and hoping that everything turns out okay.

1571.229 - 1583.253 Bryan Green

I think we should have been a little bit more careful about deciding to allow somebody just to throw tens of thousands of satellites in near-Earth orbit and hope that everything's going to go okay. That's my personal opinion, you know?

1583.573 - 1585.714 Krissy Hoadley

Yeah, you can have it. You don't want to go to space.

1586.034 - 1586.354 Bryan Green

What's that?

Chapter 6: What are the hosts' thoughts on repetitive movie franchises like Jurassic Park?

1659.241 - 1679.407 Unknown

There's like, I can tell you because there's a website, Starlink Tracker. Hold on one second. I can tell you this. There are, they're currently tracking...

0

1680.914 - 1682.475 Bryan Green

About 7,000 of them. Look at that.

0

1683.575 - 1684.455 Krissy Hoadley

That does seem like a lot.

0

1684.575 - 1686.936 Bryan Green

Look at that. Every single one of those is a satellite.

0

1687.056 - 1687.316 Krissy Hoadley

Yeah.

1687.576 - 1691.137 Bryan Green

That's insane. That's insane. It covers every inch of the earth.

1692.097 - 1694.558 Krissy Hoadley

Yeah. You're just saying more regulations around it.

1694.678 - 1715.365 Bryan Green

More regulations. And then maybe we could accomplish the same thing without so many tiny little satellites. And I don't know, but maybe we could. And in the case of natural disaster, I totally understand. But do you know, you know this because Jeff does this. When Jeff has a concert, and there's going to be 20,000 of his closest friends are going to show up over there in Memphis, right?

1715.425 - 1715.645 Unknown

Yeah.
