1
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: All right, we got no time to waste. It's another

2
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: edition of a Pate State Extra podcast. It's just a

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: mail bag blah blah blah. You know, the drill, college

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: football and a little bit above and beyond. So we

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: had a massive, massive blowout fight in the Pate State

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Household no more than twenty four hours ago. As you know,

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: or well if you watched or listened to the Sunday Show,

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: you would know. I came in and off the top

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: of the show, I just like to share whatever's on

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: my mind, normally at last ten seconds, and I said

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: something along the lines of I'm excited that it's March.

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited that spring is right around the corner. I'm

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: excited that, especially in a town like Nashville, which is

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: one of the most eastern cities in a time zone,

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: we get to maximize our daylight because in Nashville during

16
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the winter, the sun goes down at like four twenty

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. It sucks. It's terrible. I don't even

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: have seasonal depression, and I get depressed during that season.

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: So I said what I thought were universally shared views,

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: especially for people who live here. Turns out there is

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: a Judas Judas at Walking amongst Us and her name

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: is Savannah State. And so I come home, you know,

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: ready to eat, ready to wind down, ready to watch

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: an episode or two of whatever show we're watching, and

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: then hit the sack for the evening. And instead I

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: walk in tired. You know, I've poured my heart and

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: soul out for the college football public, and I don't

28
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: even have the door closed behind me before I get this.

29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: You're wrong about spring. You're wrong, You're that's stupid. You're

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: wrong about that. I didn't even I just looked. I

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: just looked because I didn't really need to ask for

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: the next sentence. I knew it was coming in. It

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: was I I like fall and winter. You're supposed to

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: like fall, don't you? Did you cover college football? Don't

35
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: you claim to be a college football fan. Don't you

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: want to be the commissioner of this sport? Yes, that

37
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: gets used on me in my own personal life. Now, great,

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: So I think it's a joke. I realize it's not

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: a joke, and come to find out, I am married

40
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: to someone who doesn't like spring, who power rates spring

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: as her fourth out of four seasons. Vampires don't even

42
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: feel that way. So I've got a lot going on

43
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: in my life that I'm a little confused about. But

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: I also would like to know, very unofficially, because there's

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: no way to take a poll on this giving it

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: to podcasts. Do you know anybody else? Or dare I

47
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: even ask? Is anyone else like this? Do you seriously

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: like spring the least out of the four seasons? I

49
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: have no idea how it happens now. I will tell

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: you when I was really, really young. I grew up

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: in the Deep South. So in the Deep South sometimes

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: you don't really get winter. And if you were fascinated

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: by weather like I was growing up, you're watching the

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: weather channeling you see it like Detroit and Bismarck and

55
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: Syracuse and all these places get snow routinely, and you're

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: thinking to yourself as a kid, that would be awesome.

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: That would be awesome, in the same way that eating

58
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: cotton candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner would be quote

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: unquote awesome to you as a kid. I kind of

60
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: grew out of that. Not that I don't still get

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: fascinated if we're going to have a big snowstorm, but

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: that's just it. It's a novelty. I live far enough

63
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: south in Nashville where we get a couple of maybe

64
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: three winter weather events per year, so there's still a

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: little novelty aspect to it. But by and large, I

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: don't get excited about cold slash winter the way that

67
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: I used to as a kid, because it was all

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: hypothetical in my mind. Well with the spring thing, like,

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: I've become a big, big fan of spring because I

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: just I hate a lot of darkness in the winter.

71
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I like it warming up. I don't

72
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: like to wear layers outside. All of these things I

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: think should be met with eighty percent plus approval ratings,

74
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: and instead we're fifty to fifty in my own house.

75
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: So I say all that to say, I'm recording in

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: my kitchen right now, and she's out of here this morning,

77
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: And dare I even say she requested to appear on

78
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: this pod, but that was not happening. I'm not ready

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: to have that conversation yet. Now I expect I'll get

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: some feedback on this internally and externally, and if I

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: find out that this psychotic approach to life has some

82
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: support out there, I may platform her and I may

83
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: let her have a solid sixty to ninety seconds to

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: speak her mind. But I can't believe that people are

85
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: walking around existing like that. Spring is awesome, even if

86
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: there's no college football. Spring is awesome. I didn't say

87
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: I don't like fall. Fall is my second favorite. I

88
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: just I hate the concept of daylight savings, time, or

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: whichever one gives us the least amount of daylight, and

90
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: it coincides with fall, and I just hate it. So

91
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: we take the good with the bad, all right? We

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: have a loaded mailbag, and so I'm going to start

93
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: with this one, because this one is another hypothet that

94
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: I'm glad I never have to be met with. But

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: I think it's very important in March, this time of year,

96
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: that we expand our minds a little bit. We walk

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: through a lot of ethical and moral dilemmas. And here's

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: one from Kyle. He lives in Chattanooga. He said, how

99
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: much money to never watch another second of college football?

100
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: So how much would you have to pay me to

101
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: never watch another second? I'm giving it up for my

102
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: entire life, the rest of my existence on this earth.

103
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: I can't watch a second of college football. I can't

104
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: go to a game. But I get an amount of money. Well,

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: this is really where I know confidently, there's no amount

106
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: of money that you could pay me. It could be

107
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: ten billion dollars, it could be one hundred billion dollars.

108
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: You could make me the richest guy on the face

109
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: of the earth. If the trade off is I have

110
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: to give up what I love the most outside of

111
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: faith and family, what I love the most has to

112
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: be given up, Well, there's really no price tag that

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: can be put on that. I can say that confidently.

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: This is not one of those hypotheticals that a lot

115
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: of people walk around saying, knowing they'll never have to

116
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: back it up. Now I do know I'll never have

117
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: to back this up, but I would back it up.

118
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: There's no amount of money, no way. In fact, if

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: you told me, hey, I'll give you a certain amount

120
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: of money, but you have to just never do your

121
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: show again, you'd be hard pressed to accomplish that. I'm

122
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: not really even sure what the price tag would need

123
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: to be for that. Because this is what I love doing.

124
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: What else am I going to do. I don't want

125
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: to go back and work at the fabric warehouse, which

126
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: is still there, by the way, but I don't want

127
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: to go back and work at the fabric warehouse. So

128
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 1: this is it for me? So I don't even know, Kyle. Yeah, Kyle,

129
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: I don't even know that there's a price tag that

130
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: you could offer me in exchange for never even talking

131
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: about college football again, much less watching it. Am I

132
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: alone on that? Surely, if we have people who prefer

133
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: winter over spring, then there's got to be at least

134
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: some amongst us, hopefully not many, but some amongst us

135
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: that would trade college football, never experiencing it again, for

136
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: X number of dollars. And then if there is someone

137
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: out there, what is your dollar figure and how did

138
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: you arrive at that dollar figure? Now I do have

139
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: to accept that I'm doing okay right now in my

140
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: particular life. But there may be someone listening who has

141
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: run up medical bills or you know, who is in

142
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: a just a bad situation in some shape, form or

143
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: fashion that makes you disproportionately in need of money at

144
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: this very moment. And if someone offered you a blank

145
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: check in exchange, you have to give up something you love,

146
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, like, maybe that becomes one of the ethical

147
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: forks in the road where you say, yeah, it's gonna suck,

148
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: But this right now what I'm experiencing sucks worse. So

149
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: just give me the money. I'll have to do without

150
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: college football. I'll still have the memories. I'll still be

151
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: able to close my eyes and just imagine the Rose

152
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: Bowl in two thousand and five, and just imagine Vince Young.

153
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: He sprints off towards that right corner. I hear Keith

154
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: Jackson touchdown, Texas clock winds down, triple Zeros. McConaughey's thrilled.

155
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled. There comes the white and orange confetti. Burn

156
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: orange confetti at that. We're good. Yeah, they're went a

157
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: whale breach by the way. I guess I could see that,

158
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: but I don't want to see it. I was not

159
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: a fan of having to do that mental exercise, but

160
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: I do appreciate the question. Kyle. Next up, I put

161
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: these in order, but they're not in order. Oh yeah,

162
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: here's a good one, which I think a lot of

163
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: you are going to be able to relate to. We're

164
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: all travelers, after all. Kelly just asked, what is my

165
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: worst college football travel story. It just happened recently, semi recently.

166
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: Last spring. I went up to Ames, Iowa to visit

167
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell to visit the staff up there. I don't

168
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: even think we did any content up there. I don't

169
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: even know if I announced I was up there. I

170
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: just went up there, as I occasionally did when Matt

171
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: was at Iowa State. I would hang out with them

172
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: for the day. So the day's over, I had a

173
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: great afternoon there, watched practice, lifted, did all the things

174
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: that you would normally do, sat with the staff for

175
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: a little while. Kind of just just had laid out

176
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: to me the the what's the best word to use here,

177
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: the reality, the harsh reality of halves versus half nots

178
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: in college football, looking at roster, looking at it nil situations,

179
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: just crazy. So I did all that that day, and

180
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: I was going to fly from Des Moines back to

181
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: Nashville through Atlanta. Weather's fine in des Moines. Weather is

182
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: okay in Atlanta. Now as you, I tracked this stuff

183
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: all day, so, I mean two days prior. I'm looking

184
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: at forecasting. I'm looking at what could prevent me from

185
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: getting back to Nashville, because worst case scenario, you can

186
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: drive from Des Moines to Nashville. It's going to take

187
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: a long time. But I've done it stormchasing before, so

188
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: I've made that drive before. I've made it there and

189
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: back before, so I figured looking at the timing, it's

190
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: a spring system, so there's gonna be one of these

191
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: big fronts that comes through. It's going to have a

192
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: line of storms associated with it. It's all about timing, right,

193
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: So I'm looking in Des Moines that line's kind of

194
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: coming through Nashville, and so I think we can make

195
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: it to Atlanta. I think that line's going to come

196
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: through Atlanta as I'm on the ground in Atlanta when

197
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for my flight to Nashville, so you know,

198
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: we may get delayed with a ground stop for a

199
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: second or two, but I'll get back to Nashville. I'm

200
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: baking in like an hour delay. I'll get back to Nashville,

201
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: all right. So we take off. Remember we're taking off

202
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: from Des Moines. There's a big line of storms between

203
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: us in Atlanta, so we have to go down south

204
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: around the line. So the line that you would normally

205
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: take from Des Moines to Atlanta is just kind of

206
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: fly over Nashville, which is kind of aggravating when Nashville

207
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: is your final destination. But I digress. We fly all

208
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: the way around Birmingham, we fly around Montgomery, actually fly

209
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: around Columbus, my hometown, and then we're coming up to

210
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta from the south, which took longer than a normal flight.

211
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Wood Well, by that time, the line is close enough

212
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: to Atlanta where we can't land in Atlanta. So I

213
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: have bought the Actually I have Wi Fi. Whatever status

214
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I need on Delta, I have it. So I have

215
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: the Wi Fi. It's working good. It's the only thing

216
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: that worked on this night for me. It's working good.

217
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: We are circling Atlanta, and I'm looking at the radar

218
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: and I understand what's coming, and I understand there's a

219
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: really solid outflow boundary on this line of storms that's

220
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: coming through. So concept of outflow boundaries are fascinating, really

221
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: simple to understand. If you were to take a giant

222
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: bucket of water in your hands right now and turn

223
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: the bucket of water upside down and watch it spill

224
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: all over the floor, what does it do? It hits

225
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: the ground, But then what does the water do. It

226
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: has nowhere else to go, so it goes from going

227
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: north to south to then all of a sudden, it

228
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: has to spread out because it can't go into the ground.

229
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: It's a wood floor, it can't go into the ground. Well,

230
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: air does the same thing. When there's a sudden burst,

231
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: there's a sudden shaft of rain, heavy rain, all at

232
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: once that comes down out of a thunderstorm cloud. It

233
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: pulls air to the ground with it. Well, when the

234
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: rain drops hit the ground, they just absorb into the ground.

235
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: When the air hits the ground, the air can't go

236
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: into the ground, so the air has to then go outward,

237
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: which is why a lot of times when there's a

238
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: storm in the distance, you feel breezes kicking out. That's

239
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: an outflow boundary many cases. Well, with thunderstorms, the outflow

240
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: boundaries are very pronounced, and with lines of storms they're

241
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: especially very pronounced. Well, I know how to look at

242
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: that on radar. There's certain indications you can see on

243
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: radar that, wow, there's a solid outflow boundary associated with this.

244
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: So they think we're going to land in Atlanta. I know,

245
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: the outflow boundary is already pretty much into Atlanta. There's

246
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: no way they're going to land in this thing. Sure enough,

247
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: we get the announcement we can't land in Atlanta, So

248
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: then they divert us south. Guess where they're gonna land us.

249
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna land us in Columbus, Georgia. Columbus is not

250
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: a big airport. I grew up in Columbus. Out of

251
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: all the airports in this country that we could get

252
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: diverted to, we get diverted to Columbus Metropolitan Airport. Hashtag

253
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: we do Amazing. My hometown spent seven figures to come

254
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: up with that logan. Their slogan we do amazing, and

255
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: we don't, at least we didn't on that night. So

256
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: we are on approach into Columbus, but we circled Columbus

257
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: for a long time because they were having to divert

258
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: a lot of aircraft down there. We finally get to

259
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and I am looking in the same outflow

260
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: boundary that has come through Atlanta is all the way

261
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: down through Harris County approaching Columbus, and we're approaching from

262
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: the west. So we are flying in roughly on a

263
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: line that goes kind of from Montgomery into Phoenix City

264
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: into Columbus. We are flying west to east. This line

265
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: is moving north to south. Basically it will hit the

266
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: side of our plane. We're on final approach into Atlanta.

267
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: I have flown I don't know how many hundred times. Now.

268
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: I am very used to flying, I'm very used to turbulence.

269
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm very used to all this. We are less than

270
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: a thousand feet off the ground. Most insane turbulence I've

271
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: ever felt in my life. This is not a regional jet,

272
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: by the way. I think we're on a seven thirty seven,

273
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: so it's a good sized jet. We are on final approach.

274
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: Landing gear has dropped like they're ready to touch down.

275
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I have been in pretty moderate

276
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: turbulence before. I've been in severe turbulence maybe once or twice.

277
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: This was the most severe turbulence I've ever felt. And

278
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: they try and land the plane. There's just no way.

279
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: It pure white knuckles everywhere. A ton of people were crying,

280
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: a ton of people were screaming. I legit thought this

281
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: actually could be it, This could be the one, because

282
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: I know what's happening to our plane. I know this

283
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: is not going to die down as we get closer

284
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: to the surface, if anything, is going to kick up worse.

285
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: And so they pull the nose up, probably less than

286
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: five hundred feet off the ground, they pull the nose

287
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: up and they have to abort. Well before they were

288
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: gonna land us in Columbus, the dude had announced on

289
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: the PA system, Hey, we can only we can only

290
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: circle Columbus a few and more times. It's a fuel situation.

291
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: So if they're not gonna let us land in Atlanta,

292
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to land it in Columbus. Well, then

293
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: we try and land in Columbus, and then we have

294
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: to abort the landing last second, at which point I think,

295
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: oh cool, we're still alive. What's the fuel situation? So

296
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: then we have to fly down to Dothan, Alabama. This

297
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: is the middle of the night. Dothan's airport is smaller

298
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:05,119
Speaker 1: than Columbuses, and us in Dothan safe and sound. Pilot

299
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:10,239
Speaker 1: and co pilot come out of the cockpit and leave immediately.

300
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: The flight attendant, I kid you not, this is Delta, now,

301
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: this is not some airline you've never heard of. Flight

302
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: attendant gets on the PA and says, I have no

303
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: update for you. The pilot and co pilot just left.

304
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: There's like a movie scene. But this really happened to

305
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: me last spring, and I had gotten a sense that

306
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: that crew was probably going to time out and that

307
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: we were probably going to get stuck in Dothan. So

308
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: what I did as soon as we got on the

309
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: ground is I booked a rental car for the next day,

310
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: and I booked a hotel room for that night, and

311
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: I booked an uber as quickly as I could, because

312
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: Dothan is kind of sort of in the middle of nowhere,

313
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: and the airport is really in the middle of nowhere.

314
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: In Dothan, the uber weight was thirty five minutes. That's

315
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: only because I got to it first. They completely abandoned

316
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: an entire plane full of people on the tarmac because

317
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: there is no gate for a plane to pull up

318
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: to in Dothan, so you just kind of get out

319
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: on the tarmac. An entire seven thirty seven d boards

320
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: on the tarmac. They walk into an airport that doesn't

321
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: look like it's been inhabited since the Clinton administration, and

322
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: that's it. You guys are on your own rebook for tomorrow. Maybe.

323
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: So my uber pulls up, takes about half an hour.

324
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: I get in. I still don't know to this day

325
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: what happened to the rest of that plane full of people.

326
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: I then stay overnight in Dothan, Alabama, and then I

327
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: didn't want to risk flying back the next day because

328
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: we were gonna have to fly through Atlanta again. So

329
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: I just rented a car went over to Hertz They

330
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: technically weren't supposed to rent one way cars from that

331
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: location in Dothan. Our guys behind the counter actually recognized me,

332
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: they knew of the show. They hooked me up. I

333
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: will be forever grateful to the Hurts employees down they're

334
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: in Dothan for this. Probably need to send them a

335
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: childie of supremacy. And I had to drive all the

336
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: way from Dothan, which is very close to Florida. I

337
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: had to drive all the way from Dothan, Alabama, back

338
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: to Nashville on the day of a show. That was

339
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: why I had to get back, and that was not fun.

340
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: But I keep thinking back to what the alternative would be,

341
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: and that is we just suffer a different fading Columbus.

342
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: So that was a not so fun time, not so

343
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: fun time. Not quite like Scott Van Pelt in Atlanta

344
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: after the National Championship game where I just have a

345
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: breakdown physically and mentally right there with someone recording me.

346
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: Not quite that bad, but close. Next up, Oh boy,

347
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: this one could be its own podcast. A lot of

348
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: you sent me this, We'll go with Murray. Now, Mike

349
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: probably said it better. Mike said, the allegations of SEC

350
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: and Big ten homersm are really shining through. Why aren't

351
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: you speaking out more about the fight between the Big

352
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: two and everybody else right now? I am, I want

353
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: all the details, but I kind of am. I kind

354
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: of feel the same way you do. You're not calling

355
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: me an SEC hom er on this. You're not calling

356
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: me a Big ten homer on this. So what's happening

357
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 1: right now? It's kind of boring, But if you just

358
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: look at the cloud tops instead of trying to dive deep,

359
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty fascinating. So right now, the SEC and the

360
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: Big Ten have a stranglehold financially and otherwise on the

361
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: college football landscape. Right everybody knows that. Then over the

362
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: past year or so, there have been these growing movements

363
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: to do things like pooling all the media rights. And

364
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: what that would do, in theory is make everybody a

365
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: lot more money, including the SEC in the Big Ten.

366
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: But it would really serve to make the league's downstream

367
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: of the Big two a lot more money, and it

368
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: would serve to make enough money where you could fund

369
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: the non revenue generating sports, the Olympic sports, women's sports,

370
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: the ones that right now are threatening to be cut,

371
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: and the SEC and the Big Ten are pushing back

372
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: on that, saying, oh, that's well intentioned, but it won't

373
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: actually work, and they're not really giving good reasons why

374
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: it wouldn't work. And here's what it reeks of. I'm

375
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: keeping an open mind on this because it could very

376
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: well be that the SEC and the Big ten are right.

377
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is I haven't heard reason enough to

378
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: disprove the theory that pooling media rights would set us

379
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: on a better course than we are right now. And

380
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: they keep giving these really really intellectually dishonest counterpoints. Now,

381
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily disprove their stance. What it could mean

382
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: is they have the right point, they're providing the wrong

383
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: logic behind the point. But more times than not, if

384
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: someone's providing faulty logic, it's because they don't have sound

385
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: logic to back up their point, because their point doesn't

386
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: really have a leg to stand on. They're just hoping

387
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: you don't realize it right now. I lean towards that

388
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: being the case. With what the SEC and the Big

389
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: Ten are saying. And so if you were to ask me, okay, Josh, well,

390
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: where do you think their head's really at. I think

391
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: their head isn't a place where they realize they are

392
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: the co kings of this nation right now and they

393
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: don't want to give that up. That's not crazy. I

394
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: don't think if the Big twelve and the ACC were

395
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: in a similar position, they'd want to give their power up.

396
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: So it's not even an SEC or Big ten specific problem.

397
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: It's a power issue. It's as old as time. And

398
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: that's why in college football I would love for there

399
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: to be centralized authority. And then a lot of people

400
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: want to make political parallels to this, like, oh, if

401
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: you believe this about college sports, that must mean you

402
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: believe this about politics. No, not at all. Oh if

403
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: you believe this about the economics of college football, that

404
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: must mean you're a so and so economically. No, it doesn't.

405
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: All it means is for my entire life, I've looked

406
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: at college football sort of like a nature preserve. I've

407
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: looked at college football as having these imaginary fences around it,

408
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: and I have viewed college football as different than everything

409
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: outside the fence, just like a nature preserve. I have

410
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: used this metaphor or analogy, I guess many times. In Nashville,

411
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: we have certain places where they are nature preserves, which

412
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: literally means if you're driving along, there's a huge condo

413
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: high rise and oh, there's a big industrial complex. All

414
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: of a sudden, well there are all these trees and animals. Well,

415
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: how can that be. Well, it's a nature preserve, that's

416
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: how it can be. Well, how did that come to be. Well,

417
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: it's because a civil society here living in this part

418
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: of the country decided that while we do want to

419
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: make progress here here and here this particular place, we

420
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: want to maintain the sanctity of So we want to

421
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: keep this area. Because everyone is agreed. They love the

422
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: white life, they love the vegetation, they like walking around

423
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: the lake. So we're going to set aside this specific

424
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: place and we're going to govern it with different laws

425
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: then we do the rest of the city, and everyone's

426
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: just kind of okay with it. Well, in a sporting sense,

427
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: that's how I've always viewed college football. Anybody who is

428
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: past a high school economics course understands that if you

429
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: allow pure free market principles to run rampant in college football,

430
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: college football implodes in on itself as we know it now.

431
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: The SEC wouldn't implode, the Big Ten wouldn't implode. But

432
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: you see what's happened to the Pac twelve, partly due

433
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: to their own mismanagement, but partly due to free market

434
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: principles working their way into my nature of preserve. Here

435
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: in college football, we had a gate that swung open,

436
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: and some stuff worked its way in that I would

437
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: prefer not work its way in. So right now when

438
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: I look at it, and I would love to have

439
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: centralized authority. Now, I would love to have a commissioner's office,

440
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: whether it's me or someone else that really gets final

441
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: say on all this. That's not because in real life

442
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: I think we should have a King of the United States.

443
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: It's because I think college athletics should operate differently than

444
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: the country should, because I think it has to have

445
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: special provisions to maintain the best version of itself. And

446
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: in college football terms, that means I don't want to

447
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: have to count on Greg Sanki and the SEC or

448
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Tony Pettiti in the Big Ten to quote unquote do

449
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: the right thing, because that's not their job. And for

450
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: all of the demonization that happens for those guys. I

451
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: don't do that because I think most people who had

452
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: their jobs, if they did, would end up making the

453
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: same decisions because it gets really nuanced and layered and

454
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: complex and complicated, and sometimes you have what are called

455
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: level ten decisions where there really is no right and wrong.

456
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: There's a bad one and then there's a worse one.

457
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the end. So when you have university

458
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: press and it's breathing down your neck, when you have investors,

459
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: when you have all these nameless, faceless people to you

460
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: that those guys really answer to, you kind of are

461
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: in a situation. I think the fridge is going off

462
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: behind me. You're kind of in a situation where, given

463
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: the information at your hand, you have to do something

464
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: that you, as a fan, would not have wanted to do.

465
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: So my theory is I would just love a world

466
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: where it's taken out of their hands entirely. But right now,

467
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: the more and more by the day that the messaging

468
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: from Smash Capital or the messaging from the Save College

469
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: Sports group goes public and it gets articulated properly, the

470
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: more that happens, the worse off from a perception standpoint,

471
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big Ten are and I told

472
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: you that weeks ago. The big problem here has been messaging.

473
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: No one has garnered a super majority of public support

474
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: on this because no one has articulated their message properly.

475
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: They just keep meeting in back rooms, or they keep

476
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: going to Washington and meeting with congressmen and women or

477
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: lobbyists and all the while ninety eight percent of us

478
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: are just sitting out here living our lives. And it's

479
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: kind of like anything else that's politics. You listen to it,

480
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: but it's over there in its own silo. You're not

481
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: gonna let it bother you in your day to day life.

482
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: And that's kind of how college football's been for a

483
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: little while. But I'm not holding the water for the

484
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: SEC or the Big Ten on this. Frankly, a lot

485
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: of the proposals on the other side of the fence

486
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: appeal to me more. And I've spoken about it not

487
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: from a revenue standpoint. I've spoken about it purely from

488
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: a fans standpoint. I just love the fact that if

489
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: you pulled media rights, if you had a college football

490
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: TV deal, I love what it would do for the consumer.

491
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't care about the revenue because I'm not getting

492
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: the revenue, nor or you, nor will most of us

493
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: ever see a dime of it. But what it could

494
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: do is it could lead to a lot more attractive

495
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: scheduling apparatus, and it could lead to a lot more

496
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: attractive broadcast apparatus. Meaning, if you're the University of Florida

497
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: right now, you know every one of your games essentially

498
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be carried by the ESPN family of networks.

499
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. It's top tier broadcast quality.

500
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: But in the interest of diversity of programming, wouldn't it

501
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: be a little more interesting for you to maybe occasionally

502
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: play on CBS or then play on Fox, or then

503
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: play on NBC the way that you would if you

504
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: were a Jacksonville Jaguars fan. You know you're gonna see

505
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: your team play on a number of different networks. You're

506
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: gonna get exposed to a number of different broadcast teams,

507
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna get exposed to a number of different broadcast windows.

508
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: But then, more importantly on the whole, what that does

509
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: is it takes Fox as an example, and it de

510
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: incentivizes Fox from just pumping the big ten, or it

511
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: de incentivizes ESPN from just pumping the sec These are

512
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: the most popular allegations that are thrown at networks right now,

513
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: and the allegations have a little bit of tree truth

514
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: to them, understandably so, because those networks have deals with conferences,

515
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: they don't have portions of the overall college football deal.

516
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: They have deals with conferences, so of course it's in

517
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: their best interest, it's in their best vested financial interest

518
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: to promote the conferences that they have deals with. I

519
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: just hate that that's the setup we have right now.

520
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: So from a viewer standpoint, from a fan standpoint, the

521
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: reason I love the idea of pooling media rights above

522
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: and beyond how much more money it would make them,

523
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: and above and beyond what it would do for women's sports,

524
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: Olympic sports, even if you wiped all that out, I

525
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 1: just love it on the surface selfishly because of what

526
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: it would do for me. Because then at the end

527
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: of the day, every one of those networks, the talent

528
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: at those networks, the shows on those networks, they are

529
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: motivated and incentivized to cover college football as a whole

530
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: instead of covering a conference. That's how the NFL does it,

531
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: and in this case, the NFL, I think is dead

532
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: on the money. Next up, this was Frankie front of

533
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: the program. How jacked are you for storm Chasing this season?

534
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more jacked if my life depended on it.

535
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: I used to take pre workout called Jack three D.

536
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: This is like Jack sixteen D. I'm ready, I'm ready.

537
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: I've got my eye on a little complex setting up

538
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma over the next couple of days. But it's March.

539
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: This is go time. April is really go time. The

540
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: biggest challenge in my life right now is scheduling the

541
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: Spring Speaker series. Locked in two more head coaches yesterday,

542
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: by the way, but scheduling the Spring Speaker Series around

543
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: storm Chasing. And I just let a few coaches know

544
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: I need to talk with you as early in the

545
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: morning as I can because I don't know what's going

546
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: to happen on April sixth. As an example, there could

547
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: be a major outbreak going on on April sixth, and

548
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: worst case scenario is, like you remember last year, one

549
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: of the stupidest moments in my life, one of the

550
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: most what do you call it? Like McAfee talks about

551
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: this all the time. Oh man, we live the stupidest life. Imaginable. Well,

552
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: that's code for him saying, I can't believe we get

553
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: to do this. Well, I had one of those moments

554
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: last year where we went down to Florida State. Can't

555
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: remember the date. We went down to Florida State and

556
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: did a sit down with Mike Norvel that morning in Tallahassee,

557
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: and we expected a big tornado outbreak that day. Some

558
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: of you probably remember this, and I was really obnoxious

559
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: about it, and I apologize, but I couldn't get over

560
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: the fact that we were doing this. So the folks

561
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: at Airstar, which is a company that we partner with

562
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: from time to time. If we need to charter air service,

563
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: Airstar sends us a plane down to Tallahassee. I do

564
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: the sit down with Mike. We're done by let's say

565
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 1: ten or ten thirty. We get on a plane and

566
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: they fly us straight to Memphis, and we're in Memphis

567
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: by noon and we stormchase the rest of the day.

568
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: And I figured, first off, again let me reiterate, it

569
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: is completely and utterly insane we get to do this. Secondly,

570
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: I got a great gift out of it that I

571
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: use from time to time. Thirdly, it was a fair

572
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: amount of turbulence landing in Memphis. Fourthly, I figured that's

573
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: got to be the blueprint moving forward. If we get

574
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: ourselves in a situation where we have a sit down scheduled,

575
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to call Sark from a hotel room

576
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: in Austin morning of and say, hey, Steve, Steve, yes, Josh,

577
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: look the sit down that we've had on your calendar

578
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: for a month and a half. Can't do it today.

579
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: Bub let's push that I've got to fly to Wichita

580
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: to Stormchase. I just don't think it goes over well.

581
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: But what we can do is sit down with Sark

582
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: at eight thirty in the morning and then be in

583
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 1: Wichita by eleven forty five. We can do that. So

584
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't spend money on much of anything. I've wear

585
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: the same four shirts, i work out at the same

586
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: gym that I've always worked out at. So we've got

587
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: one or two things that bef worst comes to worse,

588
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna spend some paid steak coin on, and that's

589
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: one of them. If we need to knock out two

590
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: birds with one stone, we will do it. But I'm

591
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: jack for storm chasing. We could have some surprises this spring.

592
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: By the way, in terms of who joins us on

593
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: the road storm chasing, just stay tuned, I would say,

594
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: just stay tuned for that. We have an allegation here,

595
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: a lot of allegations. I address them all. I'm not

596
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna duck not gonna duck it. Where was this? Yeah,

597
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: so I don't think this is true? All right, let

598
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: me just read it. Okay, So Sean accused me of

599
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 1: over hyping LSU in Texas again in his words, and

600
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: that was it. Then he just left. He didn't provide

601
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: any context. So let's recap what I have said about

602
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: LSU in Texas so far. Mind you, it is March fourth,

603
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: as I'm this. What I have said about LSU and

604
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: Texas so far this year is Sark needs to win

605
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: this year. There's a lot of competitive pressure on him. Duh.

606
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: There is every year, but it's kind of an all

607
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: in year for Texas. They're gonna be ranked highly. I

608
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: will rank them highly. Aren't just back? They killed it

609
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: in the portal? Is anything I've said so far untrue?

610
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: Anybody I think who pays attention to Texas would agree

611
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: with this. Even if you think they're going to go

612
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: eight and four, you at least agree with what I

613
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: just said, your follow up would be and they're gonna

614
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: crash and burn. But nothing I've said about them is

615
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: untrue so far. Then about LSU, all I did about

616
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: LSU is I said, they crushed it in the portal too,

617
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: and they went and got a lot of high level guys,

618
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: and then they got some second tier guys that I

619
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: think were former big names in recruiting but had and

620
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: panned out largely due to injuries. So far, Eugene Wilson

621
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: from Florida is a perfect example. Blocked in from Auburn's

622
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: a good example. But if they are healthy, then lay

623
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: may have killed it on the second tier of guys.

624
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: And then he got a third tier of guys from

625
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: nickel Stad in North Carolina Central and a lot of

626
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: places that are way off the radar. But then again,

627
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: Trinidad Shambliss at fair Ess State was very much off

628
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: the radar last year. So there are three different sort

629
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: of bingo or slot machine levers that he pulled. One

630
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: of them I'm pretty sure will come up triple seven's,

631
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: but what if either of the other two do. And

632
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: then I just said, if you combine that with getting

633
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: Sam levit In at quarterback, and Lane's ability, his proven

634
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: ability to not require a roster full of multi year

635
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: starters to win because he didn't have that old miss, Well,

636
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: might they need to be considered a playoff contender. That's

637
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: what I've said so far about LSU and Texas. I

638
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: don't think any of that's crazy. And John did not

639
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: provide me with the evidence of how I've hyped LSU

640
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: in Texas in the past. Now with LSU, Yeah, this

641
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: time last year, we were looking at a situation where

642
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly had made some moves and they were going

643
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: to be ranked highly, and they had Garrett Nussmeyer returning

644
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: at quarterback, and it was a situation where there wasn't

645
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: a lot of proven production returning at quarterback in the SEC.

646
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: So certainly that set up LSU to succeed. Had a

647
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: good roster. Then they opened the season with a win

648
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: it Clemson, and it kind of felt sort of like

649
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: they may be off to the races, and they just

650
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: weren't and it crashed. But when I look back on that,

651
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't look back on that any differently than the

652
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: Penn State or the Clemson thing. Sometimes you rank a

653
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: team highly and you look back, and there were reasons

654
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: that you should have seen. There were red flags you

655
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: should have seen. I just think those were three examples

656
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: of teams that were ranked properly given what we knew

657
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: about them in the spring and summer, which is all

658
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: you have to go on. You rank them as best

659
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: you can. Some teams fulfill on the expectation, some don't.

660
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: There will never be a year where you go ten

661
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: for ten on your preseason top ten. Someone's going to

662
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: finish un ranked in there. In some extreme cases, maybe

663
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: two or three of them. That doesn't mean that there

664
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: were warning signs. It just means it didn't work out.

665
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: I'll put it another way. Let's say that I have

666
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: in my pocket right now ten coins. Eight of them

667
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: are quarters, two of them are pennies. I'm going to

668
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: reach my hand in my pocket. I'm gonna grab the

669
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: first coin I touch. I'm gonna pull it out. I

670
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: want you to guess what it is? Eight quarters and

671
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: two pennies in there. I'm only pulling out one. What's

672
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: in my pocket? What am I going to pull out?

673
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: You got one shot? What are you guessing? You're guessing

674
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: a quarter? That gives you what? An eighty percent chance

675
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: of being right? Did you make the right decision? You

676
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: already know before I pulled the coin out whether you

677
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: made the right decision or not. What happens if I

678
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: pull out a penny you lost? Does that mean you

679
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: made the wrong decision? Though? No, you used the information

680
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: at hand to put yourself in the most advantaged position

681
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: you can be. You were eighty twenty that you were

682
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna hit two times out of ten, that still means

683
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: you don't hit. And I look at picking these teams

684
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: the same way Penn State last year or LSU Texas

685
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: this year. These teams are They're the quarter in that scenario,

686
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: and so I'm going to bet on the quarter more

687
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: times than not. I'm gonna hit like more times than not.

688
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: If you played this upcoming season out, Texas is a

689
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: playoff team more times than not if you played last

690
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: season out, I think that Penn State is a playoff team.

691
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: But when you change the outcome of that Oregon game

692
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: instead of them, instead of Penn State winning that thing

693
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: in overtime, Oregon wins that in overtime, that is like

694
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: a ninety degree angle shift in your season. And if

695
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: you ever have stood at home plate on a baseball field,

696
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: and you looked at the foul lines go in different directions.

697
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: If you walk two steps, there's not a lot of

698
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: distance between those foul lines. But walk three hundred feet

699
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: and then look where the other foul line is. It's

700
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: off in another universe. It's off in another zip code.

701
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of the divergent trajectories that a season can take.

702
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: It's like a huge stone in the middle of a stream.

703
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: It just diverts that water's path. And that's kind of

704
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: the way outcomes are. This is not baseball. You don't

705
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: get one hundred and sixty two outcomes, therefore rendering one

706
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: individual game pretty meaningless. This is football. We played twelve

707
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: of them, and when Penn State played that Oregon game

708
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: and it went the way it went, that was kind

709
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 1: of it. I certainly don't believe they would have lost

710
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: the UCLA and Northwestern games had they won the Oregon game.

711
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm not hyping Texas in LSU anymore than

712
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: they should be. It's March. We haven't even done a

713
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: deep dive on any of them yet. I just feel

714
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: like they're in a good position right now. Oh boy,

715
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, there it is. We had a question about haterses.

716
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: This might as well have been from my mom. This

717
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: is from Jessica. She was saying, how do you handle

718
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: all the negativity and haters in your line of work?

719
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: And the answer is by ignoring them largely. It's not

720
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: really the way it appears. Like you remember, we did

721
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: the Trump interview a couple of weeks ago and we

722
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: got a we got some positive feedback, we got some

723
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: negative feedback. People took issue with me saying, hey, most

724
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: of the negative feedback is from bot accounts. It was

725
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: it was one thousand percent mostly from bot accounts. That

726
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: didn't mean all of the negative feedback was from bot accounts.

727
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: So you got to filter that stuff out as best

728
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: you can, and we're in a pretty good position to

729
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: filter it out. So what you do is you filter it.

730
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: I would say at least conservatively ninety percent of the

731
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: negativity we got was bot accounts, but that means ten

732
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: percent was legit. So then out of the ten percent, okay,

733
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: what part of that ten percent is our audience and

734
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: what part of it is people who swooped in to

735
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: say something that would never otherwise watch the show. So

736
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: then you filter that out and whatever you're left with

737
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: is legitimate feedback from your audience. I listened to all that,

738
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: and some of you know that because some of you

739
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: I personally corresponded with, so you kind of get misquoted.

740
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: And I knew this was coming, like a lot of

741
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: people misquoted me as saying any negative feedback I got

742
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: about us doing that interview was from a bot account.

743
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: Well that's not what I said, because that would be stupid.

744
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: Most of it was. And then people who understood me

745
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: correctly pushed back and said, no, you can't possibly know that.

746
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: No I can. I can because I saw all the feedback.

747
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: You didn't see all the feedback, So how could you

748
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: know which percentage I'm right and wrong about when you

749
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: didn't even see the volume mentality of the feedback And

750
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: I did so anyway, Jessica, to get back to the point,

751
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: the feedback that we got from members of our audience

752
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,479
Speaker 1: that was legitimate on that topic. It wasn't hate. Very

753
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: few of them were hateful. It was a bunch of Hey,

754
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: you always said that this was about college football, this

755
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: was a politics free platform. I'm disappointed in this or that,

756
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: And I listened to that and will adjust the strategy

757
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: moving forward for that, because it really doesn't matter how

758
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: I feel about stuff. If a big enough chunk of

759
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: our audience feels a certain way, it's your show. It's

760
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: not my show. So I've got a stack it that way.

761
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: But it wasn't hate. It wasn't hate at all. Very

762
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: rarely do real people who were in our audience act hateful.

763
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: We don't deal with that. There's toxicity on the internet,

764
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: but there's that all the time, no matter what you do,

765
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: and in person when we have interactions in person. I'm

766
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: on the road every year. When we have interactions in person,

767
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: they're ninety nine percent positive. So I think a lot

768
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: of times people in public positions, like front facing positions,

769
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: they talk about that stuff because they want you to

770
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: feel sorry for them. And I'm not saying that there's

771
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: no one out there that doesn't experience it. That was

772
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: like a triple negative. Yes, some people experience legitimate hate,

773
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: some people experience legitimate threats and all that. That's a

774
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: different world. I just mean, I know, for a fact,

775
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people in my space spout off at

776
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: the mouth about oh, how toxic it is and how

777
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: mentally taxing it is. Well, don't pay attention to it.

778
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: Would be my advice, don't pay attention to it. You'd

779
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: be shocked at how therapeutic it is to just make

780
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: what other people think about you none of your business.

781
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: And that's the best I can do. That's the best

782
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: advice I can give out this morning, Jessica. If it

783
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: made you feel better, it did make me feel better.

784
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: Tim hit us up. Tim said, personally, personally, I hate nil.

785
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: Do you like it or not? If you don't like it,

786
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: what do you think is the worst thing about it?

787
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: Because to me, it's an entire stack of pancakes that

788
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: taste awful. Well, there you go. Tim has given us

789
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: his take on nil. Look, I'm like most people. I'm

790
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: like most people who are more traditional minded who love

791
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: college football. Let's say, and that is we look at it.

792
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: Most of us never said we don't want those kids

793
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: making a dime. Most of us never said that. Most

794
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: of us looked at it and said, yeah, they deserve money.

795
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: Can we accomplish that in a way that keeps the

796
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: sport structured? And the answer so far has been nope.

797
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: So I guess that's the part Tim did I dislike

798
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: the most. But if you really want me to drill

799
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: down on it rivalries. What it's done to rivalries is

800
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: just disgusting to me. I look at a guy who

801
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: once played for Michigan who transfers to Ohio State. I

802
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: look at a guy who once played for Alabama who

803
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: transfers to Auburn, Florida State, Florida whatever, and I think

804
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: to myself, there should be laws against that. But there

805
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: really shouldn't need to be laws against it. It should

806
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: just be ingrained in you that that's a no no.

807
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: No one needs to tell me if I play for

808
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State that it's a no no to transfer to Michigan.

809
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: It's just this unspoken but understood moral contract that you

810
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 1: should take in exchange for playing the sport. But then

811
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: here's the worst kind of person. The worst kind of

812
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: person is the one that comes in and you say, man,

813
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: no one should ever transfer from Ohio State to Michigan.

814
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: There's a guy who comes in and says, well, you can't.

815
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: You can't do that. You can't restrict those players' movements. Hey, dude,

816
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: I never said that they shouldn't be legally allowed to,

817
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: or if I did, I was joking. I said it

818
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: should be understood. It's no different than if I'm at

819
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: public I don't really need a law to tell me

820
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: not to leave my buggy in the middle of the

821
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: parking lot. I'm just supposed to know it. Like there

822
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: are certain parts of the societal fabric, or parts of

823
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: the sporting societal fabric, that are supposed to be understood.

824
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: But when you enter this equation where the bedrock principles

825
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: of college football are devalued, and you've got people in

826
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: your ear telling you the only thing that matters is

827
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: how much the bottom line is for you in a

828
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: given year, how much you can earn in a given year,

829
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: and that matters well above and beyond anything else, then

830
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: you're going to have that kind of approach. And again,

831
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to lay it in the lap of

832
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: a kid solely because I haven't been in that position.

833
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: So I've never been nineteen years old having balled out

834
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: my freshman year at Clemson only for South Carolina to

835
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: come along and say, we'll give you one point two

836
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: million dollars to transfer here. Mind you, you grew up

837
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: on food stamps. You had no idea where your next

838
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: meal was coming from. When you were growing up, your

839
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: family's counting on you to financially provide for them. We're

840
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: gonna pay you triple what Clemson will pay you if

841
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: you transfer here. Well, that becomes a whole different world,

842
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: doesn't it. That becomes a whole different as me mal

843
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: would say, a whole differ kettle of fish. I get

844
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: all that, but that's an individual hypothetical case, well within

845
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: the old, overall like grand scheme of what it is.

846
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: So it doesn't change the fact that I hate it,

847
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: even if there are individual circumstances like that. What I

848
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: would love is for there to exist a world where

849
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 1: everybody kind of knows they're getting a big enough chunk

850
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: of revenue share, especially if you're playing for a major

851
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: conference team, that no one's leaving out of pure life necessity.

852
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: No one's leaving for survival. Okay, at that point, you're

853
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: leaving because you're choosing to leave. And I don't know

854
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: that we can ever get back to it. I happen

855
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: to think we can. I happen to think that there

856
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: are mechanisms and lets that you can pull in college

857
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: football to to sort of right the ship a little bit,

858
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: and it will again become really taboo for that concept

859
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: to exist. But I just hate that. I hate that

860
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: it's it hasn't diminished or it hasn't erased the value

861
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: of a rivalry, it has muted it just a little bit.

862
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: When you have guys who just transfer from one side

863
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: to another, or even this, I'll give you one one worse,

864
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: I guess not one better. One Even worse than that

865
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: is when there's a guy who plays a pivotal role

866
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: in like big moments of a season for you, maybe

867
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: it was an a rivalry game, but plays big moments,

868
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: an instrumental part of a season, and then he transfers,

869
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: Like how are you supposed to look back on that?

870
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: I think about, man, when was this? What was the year?

871
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: It was the fourth and thirty one play. I think

872
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: it was Isaiah Bond, maybe that Milroe threw the ball to.

873
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: It was fourth and thirty one. I know where I was.

874
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: I was in Detroit's airport watching this. Whoever caught the ball,

875
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: like Jacorey Brooks or Isaiah Bon whoever that was, he

876
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: transferred right after the season. So you look back on

877
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: this iconic moment in Alabama football history and it kind

878
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: of gets saturated because the guy who caught the ball,

879
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, in a former generation, in a former life,

880
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: you would look at that and he would be like

881
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: a legend, and oh, he'll never have to buy a

882
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: meal in Tuscaloosa again. Crimson Tide for life. He wasn't

883
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: even Crimson tied. A month later, he transferred to Texas.

884
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: And so I just I hate that concept. Man. I

885
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: get why it happens, I get why it exists. I

886
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: get what it probably takes for it not to exist.

887
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't have the power to snap my fingers and

888
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: make that happen. But I just hate the cumulative impact

889
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: that the nil portal era has had on that part

890
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: of the fabric, like the sanctity of tradition, the sanctity

891
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: of rivalries. And I've always I just always thought to myself,

892
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: let's say I go an iro enroll at Penn State,

893
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm a little homesick to start off with,

894
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm thinking, oh, maybe i'll transfer out. But

895
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: I've always thought to myself, once I get in, especially

896
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: once I become an integral part of this team, and

897
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 1: doubly especially if I make some impact plays to help

898
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: this team in some big games, I'm in. Now. I'm

899
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: in because I like to think that I would view

900
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: it in terms of legacy. And I'm thinking twenty years

901
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: from now, if I just made this big play here

902
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: but then I just transferred, how are they going to

903
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: remember me? There is a lot of equity that's built

904
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: by creating a legacy in one uniform. But I know

905
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: no one's thinking like that now. I certainly know agents

906
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: aren't in their client's ear telling them that agents aren't

907
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: making a whole lot of money off legacy. Agents are

908
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: making money on you get a forty percent raise by transferring.

909
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: I get all that everyone's looking at for themselves right now.

910
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: I get all that. That doesn't mean I have to like it.

911
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: It does mean that we're done with this, though. Please

912
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel, which this

913
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: is not on, and please make sure that you're following

914
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,839
Speaker 1: in the podcast feed wherever you get your pods, which

915
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: is a sentence I always hate because everyone says it.

916
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,400
