WEBVTT - Hour 2 – Luke DeCock, Ross Tucker 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.280 Sports Radio Howard two. 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.360 On this Wednesday, Dan and the Dan Ants Dan Patrick Show, 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.440 our good buddy Ross Tucker will stop my Charles Barkley 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:15.080 will join us as well. We will check in with 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:19.720 the North Carolina football team following the interview this Sunday 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:23.640 with Bill Belichick and a little bit of his girlfriend 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.880 there as well. Pacers close out the Bucks. The drama 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.120 was late in the game and then after the game, 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.760 which we discussed with Tyre's Halliburton's dad confronting Yannis. Piston's 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.159 still alive. Celtic's close out the Magic and the Nuggets 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.559 beat the Clippers. Tonight, Warriors at the Rockets. That's Game five. 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:46.519 Timberwolves are five and a half point underdogs at the Lakers. 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.360 I think Golden State might be an underdog tonight. They're 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.680 a four point underdog against the Rockets. We did talk 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.320 a little bit about the teams that were eliminated, certainly 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.760 with the Bucks, and the future of Yannis in Milwaukee. 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.840 I think it's a question that has to be asked 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.120 to Yannis, and I think that was asked to him. 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.720 He's not going to answer anything. I'm talking about ownership management, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.800 talking to him what does he want to do, because 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.840 he might say, I want to stay here, you know, 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.560 continue to build around me. I'm thirty years of age, 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.319 I still have five you know, great years that we 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.840 can still win another championship. I mean that would be 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.480 the mindset. Now he might say and extend me too, 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:32.760 and then you might go, do we want to do that? 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.720 He's got one more year with Milwaukee and he's going 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.080 to be really expensive. 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:39.640 You know. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.160 That's that's you know, we talk about these contracts where 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.920 like Miles Garrett got forty million dollars. Now, if I'm Cleveland, 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.840 I would have said, no, we can't give him forty million. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.600 We're not winning anything. It's like Pittsburgh with TJ. Watt. 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.200 He's going to want forty million dollars a year, and 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.680 then you have to say, are we close to winning? 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:02.000 So certain guys earn a raise, but you have to 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.400 also put it in the context of do we want 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.120 to pay that? You might be worthy of that, but 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.280 do we want to pay that? Cleveland with Miles Garrett, 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.280 I wouldn't have done that. I would have made this 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.560 a complete rebuild because they are an old team. You're 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.600 going to have a quarterback who's forty, who might be 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.760 your starting quarterback in Joe Flacco. You know your wide receivers, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.680 your running back. Everybody was older, and all of a sudden, 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.239 you want to give Miles Garrett that kind of money. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.680 We'll talk about the Shador Sanders situation. There's some more 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.680 information about that. I'll have that for you coming up 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.600 in a little bit. We say good morning.

I'd like 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.760 I'd most like to know the real story behind dot 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:25.600 dot dot deflate gate benching Malcolm Butler or Bill and Jordan. 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.680 That leads us to our next guest. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.800 Luke decc is the columnist sports columnist for the Roleigh 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.320 News and Observer who joins us on the program. Luke, 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.600 good morning. What was your reaction when you watch the 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:48.680 interview on Sunday Morning with Bill and his girlfriend? Uh? 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.240 The fact that they put in the clip of her 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.920 objecting to talking about their meet cute. Like, if you're 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.240 in the business, right you massage sources and can we 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.160 talk about there's a not a quick pro quote, but 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:06.640 a negotiation that happens there and you know that stuff 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.800 does not make it on screen. So the idea that 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.000 they would show that and make it part of their 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:16.240 interview suggests that, like their producers, whatever their limit is, 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.640 she went so far across it. And imagine, like I 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.240 love to think about the idea of UNC saying, oh no, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.359 we have another Jordan brand crisis. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.600 And here we are. 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.600 He's not even wearing a UNC sweat shirt, right, He's 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.640 wearing this navy T shirt or whatever it is with 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:32.200 a hole in it. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:33.640 She's got a navy sweatshirt on. 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.799 It's like, you're going to embarrass us and you can't 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.520 even represent the brand right. So, I mean it's just like, 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.280 even before we knew who she was or cared who 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:48.040 she was, this whole thing has just been ludicrous. And 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.320 now that we got into this sort of off field 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:55.120 Instagram media polishing, whatever you want to call it, it's 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.640 just like that, there's not a big enough tent to 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.120 throw over the circus right now. 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.679 What is your biggest can Let's just look at her role. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.920 You know, Bill is relinquished control, and he was a 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.400 control freak when he coached, you know, in the NFL. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.200 And let's just look at it football wise. With this team. 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:13.640 What concerns you here? 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.159 Well, I mean that you know, they've got sort of 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.640 a average level college staff. They've got room for all 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.000 of his you know, his kids and Mike Lombardy's son 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.680 is on the staff and former players. You know, I 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.520 wrote that they're kind of looting Chapel Hill like Halibert 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:32.360 and looted Baghdad. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.240 But the reality is you and c kind of asked 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:34.800 him to do this. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.800 They gave him the giant bag of money. He's just 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.400 spending it. It's just it's hard to portray yourself as 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.960 the thirty third NFL team, like nobody's thought of this 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.039 before when you've got all this other stuff going on, 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:47.960 you know, and like, all right, they're going to practice 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.119 without numbers on the jerseys, and it's like they're acting 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.120 like they just invented the steam engine. And it's just like, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.320 you know, college football is not a sport that's lacked 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.520 sort of innovation or coaching, introspection or over coaching, the 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.599 idea that you're gonna come in and just be smarter 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.720 than everyone else. We certainly haven't seen that bear fruit yet. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.040 You know, they lost their best defensive lineman into the portal. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.960 The quarterback they ended up buying in the portals from 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.159 South Alabama. Look, he may be very good, you know, 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.479 certainly cam Ward jumped up levels and other guys have, 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.520 but you're still it's still South Alabama and just going 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.640 up against now ACC future NFL cornerback. So there are 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.920 a lot of sort of questions just on a football 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.400 side of things, and there were from the moment he 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.279 was hired. This is a program that hasn't won an 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.640 ACC title in forty five years. Basically, the age gap 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.719 between him and Jordan is how long it's been since 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.080 they won an ACC title. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.240 You're killing it here, Luke, I like this at the 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.120 are they going to do a Jordan brand logo with her? 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.239 I think think My sense is, you know, they Athletic 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.000 had a story today about how the hard Knocks thing fell, 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.279 or really sort of the TikTok and not really a 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.520 why or how, but sort of that the hard Knocks 0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.000 thing fell. Apart my senses, North Carolina has spent more 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:05.159 man woman person hours on Jordan Hudson related issues in 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.600 the last four months than they ever possibly could have expected. Lawyers, 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.400 pr people, athletic department people. I mean, I wrote a story, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.880 a column a couple of weeks ago about they've got 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:21.040 a dozen people listed on the UNC system staff payroll 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.400 website who are identified as members of the football staff. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.800 This sort of Michael Lombardi's team, the GM office, the 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.640 front office. They're all identify as football people on social media. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.440 UNC the athletics. They're not on the athletic department website. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.040 Their hirings have never been announced, and when I asked 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.480 the athletic director's chief of staff what was going on, 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.640 her response was, we're looking into it. So it's like 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.239 Rocco Lampone building his secret regime and the Godfather nobody 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.440 really knows what's going on. There's no oversight as far 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.680 as anyone can tell. And this whole thing is kind 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.960 of you know, it's like a Tesla on auto drive. 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.559 You just don't know what it's going to hit first. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:02.440 Okay, the local media and their ability or bills availability 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:03.680 to you is what. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.000 About what you'd expect. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.720 We talked to him before the start of spring practice, 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:13.960 we talked to him when he was hired. As far 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:15.880 as I know, maybe you know, Micha Lombardi has been 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.679 available once on signing day. He spoke to the fans 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.480 on their their spring game. They did practice like a 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.640 pro like he used to do with the Patriots. He 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.440 spoke to the fans, but not to the media. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.240 So it's it. You know, it took him. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.400 Two months to u unc his own internal podcast, so 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.080 you know, even the the the stuff that the school 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.200 wants him to do hasn't exactly been easy coming. But 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.640 I think we all expected that, right Like this is 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.600 there's no NFL access rules here. You're not required to 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.560 meet after a OTA or a certain number. You know, 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.080 he's it says in his contract he has to fulfill 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.400 media responsibilities, but there's absolutely no way. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.920 To enforce that. So you know, we may not even 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:54.360 who knows. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.680 We may not talk to him after practices in August, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.520 we may not talk to him after games. We may 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.120 only talk to him after games. That that's all up 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.679 in the air right now. It's it's but in that respect, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.480 it's sort of been what you expect. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:10.400 Is Luke Decock, he covers North Carolina football, He covers 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.360 sports there in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, Raleigh News 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.360 and observers sports columnists. I wanted to be fair to 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.439 Belichick in this situation. If I was in the chair, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:25.560 I'm interviewing him, She's interrupting, like she is becoming part 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.040 of the story. But the story is supposed to be. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.960 Belichick has written a book about winning football games, not 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:37.480 about her. But when does she become fair game in 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.200 this story, in the CBS story where you have to 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:41.839 include her. 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.800 That's a terrific question. And like I have not written 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.679 about her, I have not written a column about her. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.960 I've mentioned her when he got hired. That is, you know, 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.600 girlfriend was sitting with these trustees to sort of push 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.680 this hire through because it you know, look, football coaches wives, 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.480 and he coaches wive and he coaches husband if you 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.320 want to, you know, they have an impact on these things. 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.120 But like typically, you know, Mac Brown would always refer 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.240 to you know, Sally and I made the decision to 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:07.880 come back, and he genuinely believed that. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.600 It was a team partnership there. 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.320 But you didn't get the sense that Sally was vetting 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.920 his interviews or watching film at night. And you know, 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.640 I mean, at this point, would anyone be shocked if 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.920 Jordan Hudson posts on Instagram I'm so excited Bill has 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.320 decided to switch to a bass nickel. This is going 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:25.760 to be great for the football program. 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.280 Like no, No one would at this point. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.559 So when you start to it, like as I mentioned earlier, 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.319 UNC's brand is at stake here. They hired Bill Belichick 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.640 to sell tickets and put butts in seats and eyeballs 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.520 on screen as much as win football games. And when 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.839 it becomes a side show, when your athletic department becomes 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.720 a Jordan Hudson management program instead of a football program, 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.000 that is when it becomes a story. And the fact 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.080 that I haven't actually sort of put pen to paper 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.200 yet is really a function of the fact that the 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.440 Carolina Hurricanes are in the playoffs, and we had a 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.199 double overtime game last night, and that's soaking up a 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.200 lot of my attention. But the CBS News interview to me, 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.880 where you start raising questions about what this meet cute 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.520 that was supposedly established on the plane with the book, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.800 and now she's saying, we won't talk about that, and 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.680 there are questions about, you know, who's actually in charge here. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.199 You know, I think that to me starts to cross 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.240 that rubicon of this becomes a football issue. You know, 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.520 can Bill Belichick focus on winning at a program that 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.960 you know has come close so many times under Butch 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:30.040 Davis and Larry Fedora and Mac Brown twice. If he's 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.200 you know, promoting a book and doing all these other things, 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.120 what's what's Bill Belichick's focus and what's her role in 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.280 directing that focus? The fact that a football coach doesn't 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.800 know what's on social media about him, as he claimed 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.320 in the CBS. These guys care about what's on the 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.160 monitors in the lunch room like they dictate every single 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.520 aspect of a program. That's true in the pros, it's 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.840 true in college. So there's a lot of sort of 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.480 questions now that need answers, and to me, that's that's 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.880 the line you cross, right, that becomes not writing about 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.880 his personal life, which obviously there are people who write 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.840 about his personal life for a living. But for me 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.160 as a sports columnist, when it sort of gets into 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.440 decision making and who's in charge and what does this 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.560 mean for the football program, you know, there is a 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:09.600 line that's crossed there. 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.880 Would you rather sit down and interview Bill or his girlfriend? 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.720 I would still like to know from Bill why you know? 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.440 I asked him that at his initial press conference, at 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.520 what point in your mind did you sort of switch 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.400 from I this is how I would run my next 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.280 NFL program to oh, how would I run a college program? 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.960 It was literally the only good answer he gave him 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.080 that entire press conference. 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:34.559 But I want to know, like. 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.280 What possesses you at this age with a young girlfriend 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.000 who you guys seem to be having the time of 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:44.000 your lives out there. You know, even if she's calling 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.600 the shots, he seems to be, you know, seems to 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.400 be working for him in that respect, Why would you 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.760 want to take on a program that is, you know, 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.840 at a basketball school that faces huge structural hurdles. I mean, 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.760 there's a reason why neither North Carolina or NC State 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.880 or Duke has won ACC title in football in thirty years, 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.920 when they've won national titles and gone to final fours 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:09.920 in literally every other sport women's lacrosse, field hockey, women's basketball, wrestling, swimming. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.319 All three schools have been in the final four the 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.920 last five years in men's basketball. So football has been 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.560 this outlier. And we can go on forever about why 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.880 that is. It has to do with so many football 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.480 programs in a state, plus Tennessee and South. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.720 Carolina and Clemson all skimming the cream off the top. 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.439 But the reality is, why would you take that on. 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.480 You have a very good life, wait for an NFL 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.080 job to open up, be a GM, you know, write 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.040 books about how you're the greatest winner and greatest leader ever. 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.480 Don't go to this perennial sleeping giant football program. And 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.880 plus maybe you know, maybe if someone offered me this 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.120 much money to do it, I would to. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.560 Over under one and a half years for Belichick at 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.280 North Carolina under. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.760 I thought you're gonna say wins. Oh, that was gonna 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:52.080 push me. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:55.840 That's quick answer there, Luke. 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.080 It's gonna be a beautiful disaster. Dan like a monkey 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.520 flying of seven thirty. We all know how it's going 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.319 to end, but we don't know how we're going to 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:03.720 get there. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:10.320 How about a round of applause for Luke's appearance. Thank you, Luke, 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.960 appreciate it. Thank you Luke Decock. He is columnist for 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:19.480 the Raleigh News and Observer. He had it gone, well, yeah, 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:24.360 I had some lines there. Yeah. At some point she 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.480 became the story. She didn't want to be the story. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.960 She became the story. And that's why, you know, when 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.200 people will respond on social media, you know, what's this 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.680 have to do with Belichick or the football team or 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.840 his book. She made it. She made it part of 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:44.360 the story. You can't ignore that. I wouldn't have ignored that. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.560 If I sat down with Belichick and the first thing 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.400 I would say is why are you wearing a Navy 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.840 sweatshirt like that? That would have been it's right there 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.040 right in front of me. You represent North Carolina. You 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.160 want product placement. I would think at all reminding people 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:05.480 I'm at North Carolina. But and I can guarantee you 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.400 North Carolina wants that too. They're like, wait, what's he 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.320 got on? He's got a Navy sweatshirt? 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:10.400 On. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:18.360 But if she's interrupting, and she's doing that, you know, repeatedly. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:23.000 Now she's made herself part of the story, whether she 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:27.000 wanted to or not. But she's in there watching the monitor, 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.560 and then all of a sudden, she's just waiting to 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:36.720 go I object, No, we're not talking about that. And 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.480 by all accounts, she was interrupting a few times. Now 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.760 you've made yourself part of the story. Because Bill suddenly 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.920 can't answer questions on his own. It's not a good look. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.880 It was embarrassing. I think for Bill, he's waiting for 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:58.600 somebody to tell him can I no, you can't. And 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.120 he doesn't even know about social media these pictures that 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.200 he posed for. 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:16.000 I love love, but I don't love love that much. Yes, sEH, 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:20.120 but he's lying about some of that. I get that 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.680 the whole. Like, you know, insta face or snap book 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.080 or whatever. That joke was funny about twenty years ago. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.400 Everybody knows what social media is. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:28.600 Now. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.000 My grandmother is on it, you know, like she's like, hey, 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.800 you check your IG. Everybody knows what it is. He's 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:39.880 just trying to do like that cheap tired joke. Folksy, 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.080 you think he's trying to be funny here. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:42.440 I do. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.200 I think he's trying to be funny and like too cool, 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.840 Like I don't even follow that stuff. Yes, you do, dude, 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:49.960 you know exactly what everyone's talking about. 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:51.440 I don't know. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.080 I don't know. I know he's a genius in the 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:58.600 Insta snap book. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.360 What is it again? I don't don't even know. 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:09.000 Yeah, dude, that joke was good forever ago. Well, Luke 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.280 was quick to say, over under one and a half 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:15.000 seasons and he was taking the under there all right, 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.320 I'll get phone calls. There's prop beds by the way 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:22.800 on Bill and his girlfriend and the football program. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:26.400 Which lasts longer his time at North Carolina or that relationship. 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.160 Wow, yeah, I said it. Yeah, you did our two 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:37.439 pole question. Bang bang. I mean, my youngest daughter is 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:42.720 twenty six. If my daughter brought home some dude who's 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:49.600 seventy three or seventy four, I I'd lose it. I'd 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.240 be like, no, no, no, no, see you, Hey, Graham's 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.160 get the hell out of here. I don't care who 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.680 you are. I don't care. He'd be older than you. Yes, 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:02.639 he would be like, oh my god, d dude, you 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:06.399 know that's stuff like what are you doing? That's that stuff? 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.480 Would you question yourself at that point and be like, what, yes, 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.280 what did I do? Yes? I would. I would talk 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.600 to my daughter and say, Molly, where did I go wrong? 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:15.840 Hun? 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.560 Why do you hate me so much? And where? Oh 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.120 did I go so wrong? See you? When you put 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:23.560 it in, you know, we look at it and go 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.000 all right, he got a twenty four year old girlfriend. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.840 Then you look at it, you know, as a father, 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.600 and you're going, wait, mant, I got a twenty four 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.919 year old daughter, Todd, how old is your daughter? She twenty? 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.080 She just turned twenty, so I think they met when 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.679 she was twenty one. So your daughter next year brings 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.440 home Bill Belichick. 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.400 Well you let me wear the Super Bowl rigs? 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:46.600 Right? 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:48.879 You have to think about it. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:49.000 Now. 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:50.320 That's very very weird. 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:54.280 It is. It is. It's weird. But if you win 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.960 football games, that's all anybody's gonna care about. But when 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:03.280 you don't, they're coming after you.
