Chapter 1: What are the key elements to setting the right Super Bowl party vibe?
The score!
I thought that Modest Booze was Ellis. I don't know if you saw that.
I'm sorry, did I say Mac Miller, not Mac McClung?
McClung! R.I.P. Mac Miller, though. R.I.P.
Mac Miller, very important.
It's a Wayne Larrabee name. Matt McClung!
Oh my god!
Isn't it? McClung! It's not Eric, it's a McClung! A McClung dunk!
I would just like to take this time to tell you that not only are we back from commercial break on time, we're early. So don't ever say we did nothing for you.

Chapter 2: How important is the food selection for a Super Bowl gathering?
Over on Avenue G, which is a street that people are like, that doesn't exist in Chicago. There's no way Avenue G. Yes, it does.
But I'm like, CBS. And you're like, oh, very good. Pretty good, Jersey boy. That's pretty good.
Your Chicago-ness is impressive, Mr. Speaker.
Was that the segment after the AK breakdown? I think that was a 520-ish segment or so. We needed something to lift our spirits after listening to the Bulls. So we chose Bears Stadium Talk? Yeah. We're putting a stadium on the lake. One is imaginary, the other is real.
Yeah, and then we needed something to feel better about, so we watched... Schindler's List? Saving Private Ryan. Either one, that works. I was going to say Shoah, but that's too deep a reference. Schindler's List is the best.
I actually think that for the spirit of the plot, I think Shoah is a good reference. Yes, Shoah. Well, I always like to represent for the east side because people don't think it exists. And I got some east side peeps. So whenever we make a mention of Avenue O or Avenue G over there. Speaking of Shoah...
So it's like a Holocaust documentary. It's like six hours long or something. I remember I was a kid, and it was like a Saturday, and we were sledding. And we would leave the house. My parents were watching Shoah. We'd leave the house and go sledding, come back, and it's time for hot chocolate and marshmallows, and they were still watching Shoah.
And you leave, and you come back, and they're still doing it. It's like, can you turn this off? I know I need to be in touch with my roots. I know. But maybe not when it's nice to be sledding.
I just read Night by Elie Wiesel.

Chapter 3: What role does the atmosphere play in enhancing the Super Bowl experience?
The company matters. The snacks matter. The monetary investment to up your enjoyment matters. Matters that could be squares or it could be straight up gambling.
It could be whatever. I am allowing for this year, Spiegel. I am allowing for myself to go and socialize. I usually just stay home and watch the Super Bowl. But I will be going to a, as Layla put it properly, I was trying to describe the number of people that are going to be there. It's more of a gathering than it is a Super Bowl party. Magic the Gathering? The Magic the Gathering. Hell yeah.
And so we are going together, and the people that are coming I know are football fans, so I think I will be able to focus on the game. We are ordering pizza. That is what we are doing. So the pizzas, we're all contributing to the pot of pizza.
Layla, what is your setup? What's it going to be?
I think I'm just going to stay at home and take notes. That's my football setup now.
I'm sorry. Wherever I go, I'm the person taking notes, not being social.
What about your cuisine? Oh, there's a cuisine.
Oh, yeah, there is.
Oh, I have a Second City Prime filet that has been hanging out in my freezer too long. So I think now is the time. So I'm going to defrost it tomorrow. This is really exciting stuff. Is anyone crockpotting it up? No, because I bought an iron skillet just for this occasion.

Chapter 4: How can you create a memorable Super Bowl party setup?
Because Monday, we got to be ready and we'll have some fun and break down like all the different angles of it, you know?
Also to the texter, I have not read Night just now. I was just pointing it out about that time of my life.
Back to the Holocaust.
Sorry, sorry. I just needed to let people know when I read that book.
That's my bit. Many years ago.
Yeah, I'm not trying to steal anybody's... Don't steal my bit.
If this isn't Steve Allen, he's stealing my bit. How's the Krusty sound in FX? It's really good. It really is. That's my best. I'm most confident with that.
I have not heard somebody, honestly, in my life do a better Krusty.
Yeah, that's pretty good.

Chapter 5: What are some unique Super Bowl party themes to consider?
Give a little bit of more encouragement to maybe just like a fake laugh, maybe. We have been very encouraged.
You have been? Okay. Taddy tried to keep his stone face yesterday a couple of times. He's like, I know he's looking at me. I'm just going to keep it level. I'm just going to keep it nice and level.
I think you've got to mix in a little staccato with the legato there. Oh.
You got it at Taurus?
Yeah.
You want to throw it out, Layla?
No.
Oh. Three, two, one.
It's ludicrous. It's ludicrous enough I impersonate John Fox.

Chapter 6: How do personal preferences influence Super Bowl party planning?
Number, number, number. And I'm done. I'm done after going too deep on Millie Van Ness.
What are you two doing for the Super Bowl?
I'm going to the in-laws with my notepad. As described.
No, I forgot because we got into impressions.
Lawrence, if you're interested, Lawrence would like to come over and watch your steak defrost.
We've gotten some sideline reporting on the steak. Really? On the text line. LR, bring that steak to room temp before the searing.
Lawrence, can you bring the room together, Lawrence? No. Tie the room together? Can you be an area rug?
Lawrence and his children. I'm just like this list of the nominees from 1990 for new artists. Yeah. It's a rough pull. Oh, tell me. Oh, my goodness, that they gave that award to them.
To Milli Vanilli? Soul to soul. Oh, man.

Chapter 7: What are the best strategies for socializing during the game?
Ah. And she wrote the song, Buddy My Friend. Oh, I didn't know that.
Didn't know that.
See? I love her, though. Yeah? She was one of the first people to perform pregnant live, and that got everybody in a tizzy.
Oh, I do remember that. She did a thing with Michael Stipe, too. There was a combo platter there. So, yeah, you've got Millie Vanilli winning, and you've got Matthew Stafford winning last night at the NFL Honors. Thank you very much. Vote over the Drake. Does Drake May deserve MVP?
I thought Matthew Stafford deserved MVP.
Did Drake May throw for 4,707 yards?
47 touchdowns?
Stafford dropping his return plans in the acceptance speech. That was pretty cool. It was pretty cool. Yeah, it was. I agree with that.
There was a daughter with, like, leader energy on his... If you're looking at the screen, on the right side of your screen, his left side, did you notice at one point she, like, tapped her sister on the head, that she had her hands on her hips, that she, like, folded her arms and looked up at her dad? I like that his army of daughters went up there and they were like, we're with our dad.

Chapter 8: How can you incorporate fun activities into your Super Bowl gathering?
And there's some heavy hitter years, okay? I'm going to throw a couple at you, and you tell me. Who should have won? Is this the question? Not even who's just like Marvel at who's on the list. 2003, Nora Jones wins. Come in green. It's a pretty good debut record. It's a pretty strong record. Other people on the list, Ashanti, Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne, and John Mayer.
Yeah, that's a good list.
That Norah Jones record is... It's an unbelievable one.
But how is it aged? The way it's aged, John Mayer... Would be the guy.
It's just crazy looking at some of these lists, and you go, wow, here's a stacked one from 99. Lauryn Hill wins, obviously, from miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Backstreet Boys, Andre Bocelli, Dixie Chicks, Natalie Imbruglia.
What? ! That's a very strange category. Texture says, Milli Vanilli also did Wishing Well. How dare you? That's Terrence Trent Darby. How dare you? That is dreadlock misappropriation.
How dare you?
How dare you?
And that album is a great album.
