Here's the story:

Went to see Demetri Martin for my birthday, my wife surprised me with tickets. He's a funny guy, if you've never heard of him I certainly recommend him to you. He was asking the audience for topics to talk about. Me and some other guy simultaneously suggested he talk about the Super Bowl since it was coming up that next Sunday. He asked me who my team was. I don't follow the NFL so I resorted to the only team I follow: the Utah Jazz. I can't make out everything he said on my recording (had the camera going to capture some audio at the time).

Here's the transcript:

Demetri: Anybody wanna talk about anything else?

Me and some other guy: SUPERBOWL

Demetri: Whoa. That guy's in stereo, holy ****! How'd you guys coordinate that? ([inaudible] you're gonna say Super Bowl.) Super Bowl. Who's in it? The Giants and the Patriots. That's good, ok I guess let's just go with the mascots. You got Giants, really big people, playing with very loyal countrymen. No animals involved? Boring. Do the Giants even have a giant mascot? No, right? That's ********. They have just like a regular sized guy who's supposed to be a giant? Lazy. They need a giant. I haven't followed sports in a while. Who suggested Super Bowl.

Me: I did.

Demetri: What's your team?

Me: I, I, the Utah Jazz, they don't play football.

Demetri: The cool thing was you answered it in kind of a jazzy way. I love the Utah Jazz as a concept. Because they were the New Orleans Jazz, I guess. Then they moved to Utah...the Utah Jazz. A hotbed of jazz, Utah. So much soul in Utah the two black guys who live there [inaudible].
