She got the 49ers right (by name), and knew Travis Kelce by name, but not KC or the Chiefs. Resolves 50%, and I’m very impressed. She also was fine with doing this, I may do this again in the future! Transcript, shared with my mother’s consent: [me] Are you ready. [mom] Yes [me] I’m taking a transcript of what we’re saying [mom] Am I in trouble? Why do you need a transcript. [me] I’ll tell you afterwards? [me] Is dad home? [mom] Yes. Is that ok. [me] No. [mom] He’s going somewhere else [me] Ok, pretend that I’m on Who Wants to Win a Millionaire. I’m gonna ask you one question, answer to the best of your ability. No cheating whatsoever. [mom] I have no device in front of me. I’m talking on a landline. [me] Who is playing in the Super Bowl next weekend, mom? [mom] Laughs, oh god. You have to be kidding. The team with Travis Kelce on it. Which is the um. I don’t know. That’s the answer. [me] They’re saying 10 secs left. No final guesses. [mom] I can see it in my brain. Somewhere in the midwest. Oh and San Francisco. But wherever Travis Kelce is on. [me] For the record, do you know the SF team. [mom] The San Francisco……. 49ers [me] WOW!!!! [mom] I’m not completely stupid. Football is really not my thing. I don’t give a hoot about the Super Bowl. I don’t bother my brain with unimportant information like that. Transcript ended

I will call my mom on Sunday morning and ask her “Who’s playing in the Super Bowl, mom?”

If she can name 1 of the teams, this Resolves 50%. If she can name both, this Resolves YES. I’m not counting “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend’s team” as a valid answer.

Factors that may impact your voting:

  • My mom lives in Philly and doesn’t follow sports at all. My dad does, and watched the championship games last weekend, when my mom was likely home.

  • If the Eagles were in the Super Bowl, I would say there would be a 90% chance that she would know that (just from following local news).

  • I, her only son, live in SF - notably one of the two answers.

  • My mom is not a Swiftie and doesn’t care about pop music.
