00:00 I have two young future beasts, current beasts, wearing Nickelodeon jackets. I have
00:09 young Dylan and I have Dylan Schefter. How are you two doing? We're great, thank
00:15 you so much for having us. Yeah, thank you for having us. We're excited to be
00:18 here. Okay, so obviously we're calling the Super Bowl. Yes. I want to know like are
00:24 you nervous? Because I'm nervous right now talking to y'all, right? I'm nervous
00:28 right now talking to y'all. We got like millions of people that are gonna be
00:32 tuned in. My kids are gonna be watching the Nickelodeon cast. Tell them we say hi.
00:36 So how do y'all feel? Like I'd be nervous. How are y'all feeling? Um, as of right now,
00:42 I'm not nervous, but I know once I get on the field and absorb all that energy
00:49 because it's gonna be so many fans, it's gonna be so loud. I feel like I'm gonna get
00:52 little butterflies in my stomach. All I need to be, all I need, I'm gonna be
00:56 standing there for like a minute, it's gonna all go away. What about you? I'll say the same
01:01 thing. I think once we get out there, once we start talking to people and meeting
01:04 people, I think it'll be a lot better. Especially because I know that like I
01:07 get very nervous for these things and then you get into it and it's like, it's
01:11 as you said, it's like so much better and I'll be working with you and yeah, it'll
01:16 be really fun. Okay, so Dylan, not young Dylan. Okay, okay. Dylan, okay. So you started
01:23 doing interviews. I'm not gonna say you started doing interviews, but the first
01:25 time we saw you doing interviews was like 2017 at the Espie. That was the
01:29 first time. Okay, so that was the first time. So how has the journey been, because
01:33 that was a while ago. How has the journey been to this point to get to where
01:36 you're doing the Slamcast? Very crazy. I'm very grateful to be in this position. I'm
01:40 very grateful to have been given this opportunity because even when I was
01:43 younger, I was doing interviews with like the Patriots and obviously I started then
01:47 and I did with like basketball, things like that. And so it's been a very
01:52 interesting switch, especially because this style is more sit-down and I'm very
01:56 used to like running, going like bang, bang, bang, like to this person, this person.
02:01 What? Slap you. Like, hey, I need to talk to you. Stop. Like that, like that, like that.
02:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's been very interesting. It's been a crazy journey. I'm very excited for, I
02:11 guess, upcoming what's to come in the future and it's been very fun. It's been
02:16 very crazy and yeah, I'm very grateful and actually the first person I ever
02:20 interviewed is Russell Wilson. Okay. Which is kind of a crazy first interview and I
02:24 got to interview him like years later. So I just figured that's cool, but yeah.
02:28 Young Dylan, we going to you, big swag daddy. So I see you got the swag on, you got the
02:33 jays, you got the jewelry on. So talk about how's the fit gonna look on Sunday? Are we going
02:38 professional, executive, are we gonna go street, you know what I'm saying? You know, I can't
02:42 give too much, but you know, we gonna give it professional, but I'm also have a
02:46 little foam off there also, because you know, I'm a kid, you know, I got swag in me.
02:49 So you know, we might be still wearing different color Nickelodeon jackets.
02:53 Who knows? You don't know, but we got a bunch of them, but you know, the jays gonna be tough.
02:57 Jack, the whole fit gonna be tough. I can't give you too much though. You just got to wait and see.
03:01 Okay, so I got two of you. I haven't done this today. What's the Super Bowl
03:05 predictions? Give me the Super Bowl predictions and I need to score. I want
03:11 both. Who's gonna win in the score? We ain't doing group answer. We ain't doing group answer.
03:15 You got an answer, you got an answer. Alright. So I got, I'm gonna keep it real yo.
03:21 49ers got so much talent on that team, but it's hard to beat Super Bowl
03:26 Patrick Mahomes, but I'm gonna go with my gut. I got San Francisco 49ers winning
03:33 28-21. Okay. Great game though. Great game. Okay, we got the Niners. Okay, DS what you got?
03:39 I, okay, obviously both teams have really, really good players. I feel like I'm gonna go against you guys. I think I might see the Chiefs.
03:49 I just, I don't know. I feel like, I feel like you're gonna, I feel like the 49ers are gonna have a slow start, maybe bring it back.
03:55 That's what I'm thinking might happen, but I feel like the Chiefs might overpower
03:59 them just a little bit just because they, they have experience in this realm of
04:02 like Super Bowls. Obviously Kyle Shanahan is a great coach. Andy Reid's a great coach.
04:07 I love both teams equally. I think the Chiefs might win, but I could totally be
04:12 proven wrong and I'd love to see the 49ers come in and be world champions. I
04:16 think that'd be amazing too. I have no want, it's just, fine. Okay, so you picked the Niners.
04:23 Yep. Who's the MVP? Who's the, I gotta go my guy either CMC, Christian McCaffrey, or
04:30 Deebo Samuel. Okay, okay. Both of them are my guys man, I love them. Okay, you kind of picked
04:36 both teams, but let's just say the Chiefs picked the MVP. Who's the MVP for the Chiefs?
04:41 There's really two answers, honestly. There's only like two. I don't know, I don't know. Well, no, there could be three. Oh, no. I think a defensive guy can win too. Chris Jones? Chris Jones. Maybe a defensive back.
04:53 I'm gonna, I'm gonna say probably the obvious answer here. I think I'm gonna go
04:57 Pacheco. Oh, that was the obvious answer? Wait, me too? I thought you were gonna say Patrick Mahomes.
05:05 That's obvious, but I think Pacheco has a really good running game. And I'd love, I'd love, he pulls through every single time, gets the ball, and he just runs through. He's kind of like CMC. They just both like barrel through the guys. Yeah. I'm gonna go CMC, I'm gonna also say Pacheco and Mahomes.
05:20 Okay, so running back, and you picked CMC or Deebo. So we're just doing, basically all running backs. Yeah, not honestly, yeah, because Deebo's like running back. They do everything. He's basically a running back. You know what, I'm gonna give my choice. I'm gonna give my pick.
05:34 Okay, bet, bet, bet. I'm gonna give my pick. I can't pick the Niners. I played for the Raiders, I played for the Cowboys, I cannot pick the Niners. It's not gonna happen. I feel you, I feel you. So I gotta go Chiefs. I think the game is gonna be a little bit more than you got it. I got them winning 28 to 14. Oh, wait, for real? And this is, and this is why. Because of Rebens? This is why. Okay. Purdy's gonna have to settle in.
06:03 He definitely is, yeah. Patrick won't. He won't. Not as much. And I think by the time Purdy settles in, the score will be a little bit up there. I agree with you because Patrick has been in that Super Bowl position so many times. The score will be up there. Yeah. And I think they'll do what they need to do to keep the score separate enough. I feel you. The Niners will do some things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll make some noise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll make some noise. But I think Pat, Travis, Chris, and all those guys, Spagnola, I think they take it home.
06:33 I actually understand, for real. I feel you coming from. And I think the MVP is gonna be Taylor Swift. Okay. I think if I had to pick a score, I think I'm gonna say, agree with you a little bit there. I don't, I feel like it might be a high scoring game from the Chiefs' perspective. I don't know why I was thinking like 40, which is really, really high. I think that's a little too high. I think it's a little too high. Last year was a high scoring game. It was a high scoring game. I think I'm gonna go 27 to 77.
07:02 17. Okay. With the Chiefs. That's close. I think I'm gonna say 27 to 17. Okay. Well, ladies and gentlemen, if you can't already know, can't already tell, the future is bright. We are in good hands. The future is bright. Dylan Schafter, Young Dylan, y'all have fun this weekend. Can't wait to see you on TV. Thank you so much. Thanks for having us.
