00:50 Talk to me about that. Talk to me about that. Talk about that. I love the rock. All right, I grew up watching the rock
00:56 I think he's fantastic. I powerbomb the man through table one time about ten years ago
01:00 But WWE is on a hot streak right now man, and we've been doing it for the past few years without
01:06 Dwayne Johnson, so I love that he's here. I love that. He's bringing his Hollywood flair. That's real nice
01:13 But if he wants to ride on the coattails he can ride on the coattails he can show up he can do his thing
01:18 I just want him to know this is my place now. I'm the world heavyweight champion is my time. It's my WrestleMania
01:25 It's my show. So please come do your thing raise your eyebrows

01:38 We know whose house it is. He just said it right there. Okay, let's talk about this for a minute
01:43 If you could curb stop any pro athlete stomp anybody, huh? Any pro athlete?
01:49 Oh any of them anybody from this game any Travis George? No, no, it's got to be Aaron Rodgers
01:54 Oh, I'm a Bears fan. I had to deal with that for years and years and years just suffering
02:01 Yeah him was owning my team just owning it and then by the end of it
02:05 He was just making light of it because it was so easy for him and I don't like that
02:08 I don't appreciate that. All right, and so and now I mean he's made a fool of himself the past few years
02:14 So I'd love to just put a boot in the back of his head. That'd be great. Okay, you got to be my guy
02:19 Sorry a rod big NFC North guy big Bears fan is Justin Fields gonna take you to the next level
02:25 Or do you think we move on from Justin? I think you keep Justin Fields. I love Justin Fields
02:31 I feel like the locker room loves Justin Fields. He's a player. He's a baller you give him put a little bit more around him
02:38 He's gonna be a stud next year, dude. He's gonna be a stud the team's gonna be continuing to move up
02:43 We had a great season after a terrible season the year before
02:46 I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in Chicago next year, and I'm hoping we keep Justin
02:51 Chicago if you guys need a new general manager, he's to my left. Hey, I ain't trying to talk
02:57 I ain't trying to take Ron Paul's job now
02:59 He's done a great job man turning that pick from last year into what he got for that
03:03 Yeah, turn it into another number one pick this year. The team's done great since he's been there. I'm excited
03:08 Like I said, it's a process man. These teams don't just change overnight. It takes time man
03:13 It takes time and to build a culture and to build a good team that's gonna last for a while
03:18 We got a young team. We got a lot of draft capital a lot of salary cap space
03:22 It's gonna be a good offseason and hopefully 2024 is gonna be the year of the Chicago Bears
03:27 Okay
03:29 Kind of double-edged sword question gotcha
03:31 We got George Kittle Travis Kelsey huge wrestling fan. Yes, sir
03:37 Who's gonna win the game and whoever wins? Are you inviting them to WrestleMania?
03:42 So I'll tell you this right now. I
03:44 Love George Kittle
03:47 He's an Iowa boy tied in Hawkeye. Good friend. Good friend
03:53 but I
03:56 Can't bet against Pat Mahomes in the Super Bowl
03:58 I got a hard time doing it with the Kansas City defense playing the way they're playing
04:02 Pat Mahomes playing really well if that Kelsey Mahomes connection keeps up
04:07 It's gonna be tough tough tough for the 49ers to keep up
04:11 So I'm picking the Chiefs to win, but I would extend an invitation to both
04:16 George and Travis, please and look we're in Philly. So, you know, it's brothers there, you know, you know
04:24 He gets it. We have both the Kelsey's there. Why not? Let's have a party bring your girl. We bring it
