Super Bowl Sunday, we just had it. [chuckles] What was your thoughts for us, Seahawks-Patriots?
DeSean Jackson· Guest0:36
Oh, man, that was a, that was a little sketchy, uh, Super Bowl, man. It kinda took me back to when the Patriots played the Rams, when it was a low-scoring game. At first, it was like, what? Like, four field goals, and- Yeah [chuckles] ... I'm sitting back. It was crazy, 'cause I, like, I already knew. I was telling everybody the Seahawks, man, they, they too good of a team. The Patriots, they ain't really have no receivers to me, I felt like. I mean, Stefon's obviously a baller, but besides that, they struggled. Um, and I was just sitting back. It was kinda boring, bro. Like, I'm like, sitting there like, "Man, when is somebody gonna score?" They go all the way to the halftime, nobody scores. Uh, my, my lady was, like, um, big on watching, um, Bad Bunny or whatever. [chuckles] So I'm like, "Man, let's get to the, the halftime show." And we watched the halftime show, and I was like... I couldn't understand nothing, like- [laughing] I know he's a big-time artist, no disrespect to him, but I'm sitting there like, man, I just couldn't really get into it, bruh.
Mystic Zach· Host1:22
[laughing] [laughing] I walked away at halftime, bruh. What am I gonna... Like, I don't know what he's saying- Yeah ... I don't know what's going on.
DeSean Jackson· Guest1:28

Mystic Zach· Host1:29
