Hello. Hey. Oh, hi. What are you doing? Oh, not much. Oh, sorry. I missed you. We, uh... Funny thing is we went to see a friend of ours who bought a house out in the country.

Uh-huh. We were just coming on a little drive to see it. Uh-huh. Well, the roads you're on are all windy back there. And we got lost and ended up down in Brown County.

Oh, no. So that's why we weren't home so late. Oh, no. You got lost, huh? Yeah. Yeah. So little Missy got a nice nap out of it, so. Oh, that's good. So she did okay in the car?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So how are you doing? I'm fine. Yep, doing fine. So what did you think of the game? Oh, man, I couldn't believe it. I never in a million trillion years thought the Giants would beat them.

No, I didn't think the Patriots would lose either. I was pretty shocked. I wonder what happened. I mean, they have been on a roll. Yeah, and they look pretty flat, you know.

Yeah, they did. I have no idea what happened. It's, uh... Huh. Really weird. I bet those dolphins are celebrating once again. Yeah, really. Because I thought for sure they would win.

Well, everybody did. Yeah, I know. I know. I don't know if they just got, you know, complacent, you know, That's what I wanted. They got kind of cocky and like, oh, this isn't going to be a big deal, and the Giants were really hungry for it.

Yeah, yeah. I guess so. I don't know. It was interesting, though. So, yep, the Dolphins are still the only team ever to have a perfect season, including the Super Bowl.

Are they so never โ€“ no one before them has even done it? No. Now, I don't know about, like, you know โ€“ Pre-Super Bowl times. Oh, okay. When they used to have some sort of championship.

At least in the modern time. Since they started the Super Bowl, the Dolphins are the only team to have a perfect season, including winning the Super Bowl. That's pretty amazing. Well, and the thing is, to be so close,

Oh, I know, it's heartbreaking. Do it. I mean, you know it's going to be almost impossible to do that again. I know, to make it all the way to the Super Bowl without losing and then to lose the last game.

Oh, my God. Yeah, I mean, they've got to just, because you know they wanted that record. Oh, yeah. I mean, they're playing all their starters all the time.

That's got to be crushing. Oh, yeah. I wonder how they'll bounce back from that next season. I don't know. It should be interesting to see. Yeah, yeah.

I'd almost rather just lose one beforehand. Oh, I know. To make it all that way and then to lose, that seems almost crueler. I think sometimes, at least you always hear in the interviews, teams that maybe lose one game or something, that it sort of toughens them up a little bit.

Sort of like it's a reality check and they've got to... So maybe, you know, that's what happened. They just never got that, and maybe it was too hard not to start believing all the hype that they were so incredible. Right.

I'm wondering. So now Eli's little brother, I mean, Peyton's brother has got a ring. I know. Good for him. Poor guy that crucified him. He had so much to live up to.

Yeah. Well, he's in New York, you know. I think it's a lot rougher than Indiana to be... They're pretty rough there. You know, a sports star there. Are you there?
