Good morning bows and bow ties. It is 6:21 AM Yes, I'm getting a late start because I needed my rest after the Super Bowl situation after last night. But look, okay, so let's get on into it. First, I just wanna say congratulations to the Eagles for winning the Super Bowl. They stopped a historic repeat against Mag Mahomes. At least that's what I saw. They were calling him online somewhere, but they played an amazing game. They just dominated all phases, all phases.

I mean their, their line just couldn't be stopped. That four. Oh my gosh. Like they just bullied Mahomes. They just bullied him. The offense was just, you know what was interesting? I was watching, you know, they had Saquon run the ball the entire time, not the entire time. The explosive blaze came from putting it in the air. I'm gonna come off camera so I can turn my light off. Hold on a second. Okay. So they put the ball on the air actually And they were able to get explosive plays from that. But most of the time was the ball was on the ground And they controlled the time of possession.

I mean, like, they were just really stingy. They were like, you will not get on this field Mahomes. So just watching how they controlled, offensive, defensive, and of course special teams, good Lord they had, was just amazing. Everybody was just great. But congratulations to the Eagles. Congratulations to Jalen Harris. I think he won the MVP, that organization. But look, I, I was just, because I was expecting to see Patrick Mahomes, you know, as some, you know, do something incredible on me.

He had a couple of late runs. He had to do something spectacular. But I think defense was playing a little bit softer then because they knew they had the game like just wrapped up. But let me tell you, let me tell you why. Is my phone doing weird things? Okay, So let me just tell you, I was just cracking up watching him switch all over the field. He has that weird walk and just said that little switch thing he does, but it's all good. I mean, 'cause he's still an amazing quarterback, but I think everyone was having chief fatigue and we were ready to see something else. My team is still the giants by the way. Let's see. I wanna talk about the halftime performance where Kendrick Lamar and says, let me just say this.

00:03:09
I liked it and I'm gonna tell you the reason why Kendrick Lamar was showing a level of artistry that, that we needed from our community. Typically, when our community gets up there on the stage, we have to show a lot of TNA, the last person to just get up there and just perform was Rihanna. And people tried to tear her down 'cause she wasn't out there whoring on stage, at least not that I can remember. Usually you have to get like a Beyonce or Usher or somebody have to be overly sexualized. The women have to take off all their clothes and I just get tired of seeing that.

So it was nice just seeing him come out there and just perform. And he tried to deliver a message and I was here for it. Scissor didn't have to take off all her clothes. She wore clothes, you know, they got out there And they performed. But what took me out, what was sending me was when Kendrick Lamar was diabolical, let me tell you, when he walked across the stage and he looked into the camera and was like, Hey Drake, I hear you. Like I'm young. You better not take him to cell block one. I was like, yo, I was definitely cracking up because he was like, I don't care.

Because, you know, he kept teasing the crowd with the song that everybody was expecting to hear. Right. You know, I saw on TikTok, they were calling it a little bit of a punk, a punk fake. And I was here for it. I liked the fact that he teased everybody and he did a lot of the switch up in the tempo of the music. I liked that he was giving us the visuals and he had Samuel Jackson as almost like the master of ceremonies, right? Like, and he was dressed in like an Uncle Sam costume, right? And I don't think half of America understood what they were watching and what was being said.

00:05:28
I don't think they understood the message. I don't think they got it. But what I liked was the visuals. I liked what he was trying to say. I like how he was talking about when he was getting his little getback on Drake talking about, you know, he was talking about the real influence, the real culture, right? And so I got it, you know, and I'm not so sure rest of America got it. I'm not so sure. But I, I liked the performance quite a bit. He kept everything simple. It was clean and like, why can't we just have like a clean performance? I was really happy.

00:06:07
They, you know, he had his, his word play. And I like how when he incorporated like the women, they didn't have to be whores. Like they didn't have to be out there selling their body or selling this, this, this image. They didn't have to be overly sexualized. And I could appreciate that. And then they even had Serena Williams with her new face and you know, I like Serena Williams, but they even had Serena Williams with her new face and new body out there doing a Crip walk. And let me tell you, the reason why I appreciated that was, I remember when Serena did that in tennis. 'cause she was wearing a blue dress and it was at, I can't remember if it was Wimbledon or if it was the Olympics, but no, I think it was, I think it was Wimbledon.

And I believe, I believe it was when she had just finished playing. She had just beat she poka. And it wasn't like she just beat her. She, she just trounced her. She demolished her. So I remember when it was at the end, she did a quick little Crip walk and you know, she got her stuff and she wound up leaving and everything like that. But I like the fact that he brought in his celebrity cameo. I keep telling people to Lisa alone. I know she's going through it with her face and, and this blonde hair and stuff like that. We know she looks nothing like what she was before, but she's doing what makes her feel best.

00:07:40
I don't understand it, but she still looks good. She, she performed well. She looked like she had fun and I'm happy she had fun. She looks good. So shout out to Kendrick Lamar as a scissor. Kept clothes on. I like that. I like the fact that the women, you couldn't even see hardly any of their flesh. They had their costumes on And they performed. And so we got a chance to just appreciate the artistry instead of the hornet. And then, let's see, outside of that, yeah, that, that's pretty much it. And I wanna talk about this AI thing for a second. So I've been experimenting this weekend with ai and let me tell you, I'm not very good.

00:08:26
Everyone talks about how easy it is online. It's to do what you wanna do is really expensive. But I've been experimenting with ai, learning how to use some of the capabilities out here using some of these apps. And I have a ways to out, but shout out to all the creators who've made videos on the various different applications that can be used, how to use them, you know, what each one is used for, et cetera. Oh no, how did my thing just, oh, I was so weird. My thing went out. And that's pretty much it. Alright, I'm not gonna make this too long.
