Full Episode
Excited about today's show. All right, here's how we did it. We got Jim Harbaugh. He's moving product, but he's also talking football. We're going to talk about his path and why he set out on a very definitive plan at five or six years old. I want to talk Super Bowl matchup. This Doncic trade leaked into Super Bowl week. That doesn't happen.
Let's talk matchups, stuff we should be looking for going up against these two different defensive coordinators with friend of the show, Tim Hasselbeck. Life advice, there is no open because we're all waiting on this Durant thing. So if something happens this day, you're going to get a little bonus monologue.
If it doesn't, we'll just have it maybe Thursday, maybe roll it into Friday's full episode. So that is the plan as of today. Good time to catch up with a guy I really enjoyed spending some time with, Tim Hasselbeck, ESPN, across the street from Bristol headquarters, getting ready to drop knowledge on everybody. So he's going to hang out with us for a little bit. Good to see you, man.

Like you exhausted all guests possible throughout the regular season and playoffs. And I was like, shoot, Superbowl week. It's kind of long. Ah, Hasselbeck. And then Matthew's not available.

And then Saruti's like, yeah, I held onto it somehow. It's good. It's 617 number. So let's reach back out. Oh my God. It's good. Let's do it.
Well, I don't understand where that's coming from because it was great joy when somebody said, hey, what about Tim? And it was just four people going, great idea. Biggest game of the year. So that's how I look at it. I think it's all positives. All right. Speaking of the biggest game of the year, I always like to do a little memory lane with you.
When Matt played, I imagine that the entire crew go up to Detroit.
um the entire crew did go to detroit and um it was cool so like yeah it's a neat opportunity obviously to play in a super bowl for anyone then be a starting quarterback in a super bowl and i was playing at the time i don't know if i've told you this story or not but i i was like you know like how can i help him like he's my brother you know like what can i do to to you know
be of a help as I, you know, he wants to prepare for the game. So I was like, Hey, look, I'm going to handle all the tickets. So you just tell me who needs to pay for tickets and who like your comp and tickets. And I'll just get as many as I can. And so like, you know, as a player you get to, and then, so I was calling around my friends in the league. So I end up, um,
