Chapter 1: What were the main criticisms of Super Bowl 60?

0.031 - 20.466 Boomer

Monday after Super Bowl 60. It was one of the least entertaining, least fun, no action nights I have experienced when it comes to a Super Bowl. And I'm not going to be. Someone who's going to go over the top. This is the worst thing I ever saw. Really, I mean, it wasn't the worst thing I ever saw. The halftime show certainly wasn't the worst thing I ever saw.

20.486 - 43.828 Boomer

It wasn't for me, but people seemed to like it. It just wasn't entertaining. Boring. The NFL can get away with this stuff, and we're going to be back. In the Super Bowl, I tried to explain to... I really try to set an example of, like, don't hate things. Don't really dislike things to my daughters. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0

43.848 - 50.879 Boomer

But the Super Bowl, Sabrina's like, you don't seem like you're into the Super Bowl, Daddy. And I'm like, I'm really not. I got to tell you.

Chapter 2: Why did the halftime show fail to entertain some viewers?

50.979 - 64.458 Boomer

I have to watch it, but it stinks. Championship weekend and the divisional playoff weekend and wild card weekend. I love it. I absolutely love it. The Super Bowl stinks. And if it's a great game, that's awesome.

0

64.819 - 76.815 Boomer

But when it's a bad game with a halftime show of an artist that you don't know and you've got a million commercials and everything else that goes to 1030 at night and you've got to wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning and it's minus 11 degrees, it's just not entertaining.

0

76.835 - 98.698 Unknown

It's not good. You know what it is? If the AFC team were the Bengals, the Bills... A team that's never won it? Well, the Chiefs, though. I'm just saying with recognizable names that are superstars going against that defense, then you might really would have had a little bit more interest. I had a couple friends that did actually go to the Super Bowl. They said it was dead.

98.879 - 119.97 Unknown

They felt like San Francisco wasn't a great host. It wasn't vibrant. I was there 10 years ago. I was talking to Al. I was too, by the way. I was there with Brian Jones. That's right. So I was talking to Al. I felt like San Francisco at that time was starting to turn negative, but I still felt like the downtown was vibrant. I felt like the restaurants were packed.

0

120.05 - 126.516 Unknown

I felt people were like, remember how we went out to that place where it was just meat? What was that restaurant where you went?

126.536 - 128.078 Gio

Yeah, it was like Prime Rib.

128.158 - 129.72 Unknown

Yeah, it was like Prime or something.

129.74 - 131.242 Gio

Yeah, some sort of Prime Rib special.

131.262 - 136.208 Unknown

And it was just meat. And what was the issue about the dinner that night? Did you have an issue? Somebody had an issue.

Chapter 3: What factors contributed to the Super Bowl's lack of excitement?

148.223 - 167.392 Unknown

But anyway, but they were saying that San Francisco is like a dead place. So they should have the Super Bowl in Arizona. Miami, and I'll throw a New Orleans in there every now and again. And that's it. Maybe Dallas, but Dallas you can still get kind of wonky weather. Vegas, man. You've got to throw Vegas in there. Vegas in there as well.

0

167.512 - 176.346 Unknown

I'll tell you, if I'm the NFL Players Association, I am saying we're never going back to California. This is ridiculous. The taxes are ridiculous.

0

176.366 - 179.751 Boomer

Well, unfortunately, they're going back there next year, aren't they? Yeah, they are.

0

179.771 - 203.917 Unknown

But it's ridiculous. Yeah. Now, you know, what's interesting when I was reading about all these, you know, contracts and things that the way they write the contracts, a lot of times the head coaches will have what they call a gross up number. So they don't have to pay those taxes. In other words, the teams kind of pay it for them. Okay. You know, which is really interesting.

0

204.097 - 209.945 Unknown

But, you know, somehow, some way the Dodgers have found out a way around a lot of this.

210.245 - 227.256 Boomer

Well, they have the richest and sharpest finance people in the country running the team as a consortium. So they figured it out. That's not somehow. I mean, you get the greatest scientist in the room and it builds you a rocket, right? So, I mean, it just happens. when you've got those type of people around.

227.919 - 233.712 Boomer

But yeah, so if the Giants, let's say the Giants make it to the Super Bowl next year, are we going out to L.A. ? You feel like we have to go?

234.793 - 236.937 Unknown

Well, we are the station for the Giants.

236.997 - 246.832 Boomer

I know, but we definitely send. I would imagine that the other two shows would go, but would we go and do the shows at 3 in the morning because the Giants were there?

Chapter 4: How did San Francisco's hosting affect the Super Bowl experience?

257.591 - 258.432 Unknown

You don't want to go back?

0

258.833 - 259.794 Boomer

The Giants were in?

0

260.154 - 264.119 Unknown

No. Get out of here and go to L.A.? If it's Miami or Arizona, I'm in.

0

265.08 - 276.714 Boomer

But, I mean, it would be warm weather. I mean, Jerry was just out there. It was beautiful. He was playing golf. You're telling me you don't want to go out there next year if the Giants are in? The Giants, the 2026 Giants, and the 2035 Patriots.

0

276.754 - 301.009 Unknown

Why don't you ask me this next year as opposed to right now? Well, what's next year? Atlanta? No, I mean like, no, next year's the LA. Yeah, I know. So why are you asking me now? Why don't you ask me like six weeks out if the Giants make it, what do you want to do? Because then they'll come to us. And who has the Super Bowl next year? Is it Fox? I believe it's ABC. Is it ABC?

301.57 - 302.571 Boomer

ESPN, ABC.

302.831 - 309.747 Unknown

So it's not a CBS production, so... They're not going to throw us in there. Throw us in there?

309.767 - 322.323 Boomer

Yeah. Well, I mean, I think if the Giants go, we just got to go. Got to get out of here. If we have another winter like this, we're going. I don't give a crap. I don't care if we're going to pay for the thing myself. La Nina winter weather pattern, dude.

322.343 - 324.566 Unknown

I told you this when winter started.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of hosting the Super Bowl in California?

354.91 - 371.805 Boomer

Yeah, I do harumph at you a lot. But for good reason. But yeah, I mean, when you're on it, it never happens. So that's why I was a little worried. But when you're not on it, it happens. So like that 12-footer or the 12-incher we got, you weren't really on that until late.

0

372.165 - 374.507 Unknown

Four to six out in the Hamptons this week.

0

374.707 - 382.974 Boomer

Yeah, you weren't on that either, and it happens. This is what I'm saying. But then you were on the bomb cyclone, and it didn't happen, the Nor'easter. So that's why I was concerned.

0

382.994 - 385.956 Unknown

That thing went out because you kept pushing it out into the Atlantic.

0

385.976 - 407.33 Boomer

Right, exactly. I did push it out to sea. So when you're on these things and talk about them, they never happen. And then when you're quiet about it, it happens. So that's why I needed to know if you were on it or not. Of course I'm on it. That's why I needed to know. Of course I'm on it. Yeah. So, you know, I'd love to go out there if the Giants are in it next year. The 2026 Giants, man.

408.708 - 411.058 Boomer

They are the 2025 Patriots. They could be.
