Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now in.
Speaker 1: The air everywhere.
Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mather and Danny g
Speaker 3: Radio A Happy Saturday to you. The twenty ninth day
Speaker 3: of November. Rivalry weekend continuing in college football today, watched
Speaker 3: what I watched out with Texas Texas A and M
Speaker 3: watched a little bit of that game on Friday, the
Speaker 3: Mississippi Mississippi Steak and the Egg Bowl.
Speaker 1: Watched that. In the NFL, we'll start with the NF.
Speaker 3: Let's get be a very sporty fifth hour podcast, A
Speaker 3: very sporty fifth hour podcast. We've got on this one,
Speaker 3: disco Hulkemania, and ain't no fun if the.
Speaker 1: Homies can't have none.
Speaker 3: And we'll combine all of these things together, and we
Speaker 3: are going to meditate, because what else are you supposed
Speaker 3: to do on a Saturday, But we'll start with this
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia, PA, the Delaware Valley, the et A, G
Speaker 3: L E S.
Speaker 1: Eagles su c K suck Suck suck.
Speaker 3: Yes, they got smashed by the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: Stump Bears.
Speaker 3: Bears getting it done yesterday on Black Friday, a twenty
Speaker 3: four to fifteen final, as Chicago converting almost sixty percent
Speaker 3: of their third down plays, They were two for three
Speaker 3: in the red zone, and they win a game where
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams was terrible because they had multiple running backs
Speaker 3: that went over one hundred and twenty five yards. It
Speaker 3: was like a throwback for the Bears. As Caleb Williams
Speaker 3: was terrible. It didn't matter. The Bears won anyway in
Speaker 3: dominating fashion. Their defense, which had been so bad against
Speaker 3: the run, held Sequon Barkley down. Of course, he only
Speaker 3: had thirteen attempts in that game. But don't bury the lead.
Speaker 3: My man won't bear the lead. So the Eagles coach
Speaker 3: Nick Sirianni. Did you see what he said after the game? No? Okay,
Speaker 3: So Sirianni said that while they will evaluate everything in Philadelphia,
Speaker 3: he will be staying with offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo as
Speaker 3: the play caller, Sirianni saying, quote, this is the greatest
Speaker 3: team sport there is and it is never about one person.
Speaker 1: Close quote. So that is a good jumping off point.
Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question, can you explain why Nick
Speaker 3: Sirianni refused to consider even the thought of changing the
Speaker 3: Eagles play caller?
Speaker 1: So on this one, it's rather simple, right.
Speaker 3: This is like saying, hey, listen, we really got to
Speaker 3: clean the house. I want to clean the entire house. Okay,
Speaker 3: you want to clean the entire house. That's great, let's
Speaker 3: clean the entire house. Okay, we're gonna do it, but
Speaker 3: we're not touching the kitchen, the bathroom or the living room.
Speaker 3: We don't want to do that. But what you said
Speaker 3: you wanted to clean the entire house, It's like, well
Speaker 3: that's kind of important.
Speaker 1: Well, I just don't want to do it. What are
Speaker 1: we even doing? This is football spin class, is what
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: Everything's on the table, Every possibility is on the table
Speaker 3: in Philly except the one thing, the one thing that
Speaker 3: clearly needs to actually be on the table, which makes this,
Speaker 3: to use one of our classic mallarisms, it's coach speak.
Speaker 3: Cotton candy like you're get in the summer at the
Speaker 3: State Fair, get that cotton candy and it looks.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's a big. Look at that, what a
Speaker 1: deal like?
Speaker 3: And then you're like, well, it's just spung sugar and
Speaker 3: it looks big, but there's no substance. Philadelphia has been
Speaker 3: outscored forty eight to fifteen in the last six quarters
Speaker 3: since they blew that twenty one to nothing lead to
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys. They got thrown into the wood chipper
Speaker 3: by the Bears, of all things, the Chicago Bears, who
Speaker 3: are now nine to three on the season, although most
Speaker 3: of those wins have been nail biers, not this game
Speaker 3: on Black Friday. And now Nick Sirianni's got that everything's fine,
Speaker 3: don't worry. He's got that look on his face. He's
Speaker 3: got that kind of grin thing going on, like he's
Speaker 3: hosting HGTV and advice from the upper balcony. Here, buddy,
Speaker 3: but it bety. This ain't a renovation show. It's not
Speaker 3: we're not renovating. We're doing the demo, is what we're doing.
Speaker 3: The Bears ran the ball like they had resurrected Walter
Speaker 3: Payton Sweetness in a secret basement lab somewhere somewhere, far
Speaker 3: far away. Forty seven carries two hundred and eighty one
Speaker 3: yards for the Chicago Bears, a couple of rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 3: They had two guys go over one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: five yards, averaging six yards per rush. That is not
Speaker 3: a defensive front in Philly. That was an open toll booth.
Speaker 3: Good luck. You couldn't You couldn't have planned it worse
Speaker 3: for the Philadelphia defense in this game because Camvib Williams
Speaker 3: was not very good. He completed less than fifty percent
Speaker 3: of his passes, he had an interception in the game.
Speaker 1: It was not very good and it didn't matter.
Speaker 3: Because the Eagles defensively allowed the Chicago Bears to run
Speaker 3: it right down their throat and it was ridiculous. You
Speaker 3: could have driven the Malard Moobe two point zero through
Speaker 3: those running lanes without slowing down. And then you also
Speaker 3: have Jalen Hurts for Philadelphia right now, He's not Superman.
Speaker 3: He's Clark Kent without the glasses, and he's just nothing special.
Speaker 1: He's just a dude, not the dude. He's just a dude.
Speaker 3: Your garden variety mortal quarterback, quarterbacking with practice squad results
Speaker 3: right now for Jalen Hurts, in fact, what's my evidence.
Speaker 3: Let's go last four games. Jalen Hurts has averaged six
Speaker 3: and a half yards per past seven is average. He's
Speaker 3: below average, completing fifty nine percent of his passes that
Speaker 3: ain't good, has a passer rating of eighty five. That's
Speaker 3: not elite. That's Marriott Lobby is what that is. You're
Speaker 3: in the Marriott Lobby. Quarterback club is what you are.
Speaker 3: So it's is it panic at the disco? It's panic
Speaker 3: at the Batulo disco. The offensive coordinator and you know
Speaker 3: they had high hopes. They had high hopes and now
Speaker 3: they're living the death of a Bachelor champion is what
Speaker 3: they're doing here. And Nick Siriani another example. This guy
Speaker 3: is not leading his team. He's riding shotgun with no GPS.
Speaker 3: He's a show pony who needs a perfect weather situation
Speaker 3: to succeed. And now I want to say perfect weather,
Speaker 3: I mean everything's gonna be right, relatively healthy, getting along
Speaker 3: with each other. You throw a thunderstorm in there, right,
Speaker 3: you throw a thunderstorm in there. And Nick Siriani is
Speaker 3: the guy hiding behind the vending machine. He's sucking his thumb,
Speaker 3: is what he's doing. And you know what this is.
Speaker 3: This is it's the Malard Milk Carton moment, is what
Speaker 3: it is. You look at the Eagles offense, and we've
Speaker 3: seen them a lot. They're the defending, reigning champion and
Speaker 3: all that. But you look at the Eagles offense, you say,
Speaker 3: have you seen this unit?
Speaker 1: The last last time we saw them really clicking.
Speaker 3: Was Week eight? Was Week eight, And reward has been
Speaker 3: offered if you find the Eagles offense now. Nick Sirianni
Speaker 3: says they're evaluating everything. But again, for those of you
Speaker 3: in the back of the room that are a little late,
Speaker 3: guess what if he doesn't start evaluating Sirianni the play calling,
Speaker 3: the owner will start evaluating him. So this is not
Speaker 3: fly Egles fly on the road to Victor Ree anymore.
Speaker 1: It's not that.
Speaker 3: It's this is fry egles fry. Because you can't handle
Speaker 3: success the Eagles fan base booing them and emptying out
Speaker 3: all those people in Philadelphia that mocked the Dodger fans
Speaker 3: for leaving early. That stadium was empty by the time
Speaker 3: Al Michaels signed off on that broadcast, it was empty.
Speaker 3: With the Capitol League now flipping the page. Here Part
Speaker 3: two of this.
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour Malor monologue.
Speaker 3: Extensive edition of The Fifth Hour with Me and Danny
Speaker 3: g So. After the Bears upset the Eagles in convincing
Speaker 3: fashion and it was not really all that close. The
Speaker 3: Bears were in control late in the game, and so
Speaker 3: the Eagles go down, we talked about what's going on
Speaker 3: with Nick Siohanni. But on the side of the Bears
Speaker 3: first year coach Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson performing one of
Speaker 3: his electrifying locker room hype speeches become a weekly ritual,
Speaker 3: always recorded for social media, and it was one of
Speaker 3: those moments that leaves you wondering how he has a voice. Afterwards,
Speaker 3: but he added a different twist, a little funny twist
Speaker 3: to this week. I don't know if you saw it
Speaker 3: or not, when as he was giving his postgame speech,
Speaker 3: he ripped off his shirt in what seemed to be a.
Speaker 1: First for the team.
Speaker 3: I don't recall my Ditka ever doing that back in
Speaker 3: the day, or any of the other Bears coaches we've had.
Speaker 3: So Indeed, as Ben Johnson was working up to a lather,
Speaker 3: get himself worked into a tizzy, he did indeed pull
Speaker 3: his shirt over his head.
Speaker 1: The players around him are opted.
Speaker 3: The locker room was howling, excited cheers and streams. The
Speaker 3: bear chested coach right in the middle of the locker
Speaker 3: room and.
Speaker 1: You look at that groove and it was like, oh man.
Speaker 3: And then came the standard good, better, best rallying cry
Speaker 3: from Ben Johnson and just a little less dressed than
Speaker 3: he normally is. Now that postgame reaction has been well
Speaker 3: dissected since the Bears game ended with the Eagles. I
Speaker 3: know Lucky Tony very excited. The Bears are kicking some
Speaker 3: ass right now. So the fact that the Bears coach
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson decided to become a Chippendale's dancer, that is
Speaker 3: a good jumping off point. So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 3: This actually came from p one Mike who emailed me
Speaker 3: late last night and Mike said, hey, what about this?
Speaker 3: And his question was, did the Chicago coach Ben Johnson
Speaker 3: jinks the Bears season with his shirt off celebration? I
Speaker 3: have a satin night john On all right, So to
Speaker 3: say that the Bears jinx their entire season because Ben
Speaker 3: Johnson decided that he wanted to take his shirt off.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go no way on that. Absolutely not. This
Speaker 1: is not a curse. It is not. In fact, I
Speaker 1: would argue that it.
Speaker 3: Is civic service for the good people of Chicago. You
Speaker 3: don't jinx the season when you're getting a free hot dog.
Speaker 3: And we've learned since that game ended yesterday that the
Speaker 3: mom and pop Wiener's Circle shop to restaurant Wiener Circle
Speaker 3: in Chicago, it's on the north side, knocked the part
Speaker 3: of town and they literally promised three winners if Ben
Speaker 3: Johnson went shirtless, and he's now gone shirtless. So that's
Speaker 3: not a curse. That is public charity is what that is.
Speaker 3: It's community outreach. That's the Windy City stimulus package. So again,
Speaker 3: you don't jinx a season, you ignite this season. This
Speaker 3: was hul Comania. It was hull Comania territory, the late
Speaker 3: great Hall Cogan, the guy ripped the shirt the Bears
Speaker 3: coach like he was about to go tag team with
Speaker 3: macho man and slide into a slim gym guy and
Speaker 3: the only thing missing was the right index finger to
Speaker 3: the ear, the classic Hull Cogan.
Speaker 1: I can't hear you gesture.
Speaker 3: So if you want superstition and you want karma and
Speaker 3: all that. That's fine. I'm not against those things. They
Speaker 3: make for good talk radio. You win football games, though,
Speaker 3: and this big a movement, Capital M becomes a movement,
Speaker 3: Capital M energy, full frontal commitment, and Johnson is all
Speaker 3: of that.
Speaker 1: He's all of that.
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson's got this good, better, best speech which has
Speaker 3: turned into a bit of a cultural ritual in the
Speaker 3: football world. It came, we are told, from his high
Speaker 3: school days at AC Reynolds, and now the Bears at
Speaker 3: the pro.
Speaker 1: Level are living it.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like their pledge of allegiance good, better, best,
Speaker 3: never let it rest. They're chanting it like they're about
Speaker 3: to stampede, similar to the wildebeast in the Lion King.
Speaker 3: And so it's working. They're hitting on all cylinders. And
Speaker 3: when the Bears win, like they did yesterday on Black Friday,
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson conducts that speech like he he's a conductor
Speaker 3: at the Chicago Symphony. And when they lose, he risked
Speaker 3: becoming a viral me. Remember the Chargers coach Brandon Staley
Speaker 3: was doing yoga stretches before kickoff and they recorded it
Speaker 3: and Brian my branded Staley rather has really not gotten
Speaker 3: any any serious interest as a head coach because of that.
Speaker 3: And there's a thin line between motivation and mockery. They
Speaker 3: both start with M and O and after that they go.
Speaker 1: Their separate ways.
Speaker 3: And so Ben Johnson's walking walking this motivation and mockery
Speaker 3: like it's a tightrope and he's the tightrope artist over Lake,
Speaker 3: Michigan in a blizzard. So at this moment, this was
Speaker 3: I file this one in the basket. If you look
Speaker 3: at the basket, what was in the basket? If you
Speaker 3: look at the basket, I file this one in the
Speaker 3: shirtless swagger basket.
Speaker 1: This was blue.
Speaker 3: Collar Glenn, blue collar glamour. This was the full embodiment
Speaker 3: of every Chicago construction worker who eats a beef sandwich
Speaker 3: at seven in the morning and then for lunch, but
Speaker 3: they have lunch at like ten thirty. They have the
Speaker 3: deep dish Chicago pizza and then they have dessert. They
Speaker 3: have that great popcorn, which tree in Chicago knows all about.
Speaker 3: That's the move here. So listen, this was what the
Speaker 3: Bears want to become. Was it a little cheesy, a
Speaker 3: little corny shure, But it's fun. They're winning, And as
Speaker 3: long as you're winning, the whole stadium is going to
Speaker 3: get bear chested in January at Soldier Field, it'll.
Speaker 1: Be the Lambeau meets Marty Gras scene.
Speaker 3: Frostbite is the free giveaway meets euphoria, which is also
Speaker 3: a giveaway should you actually get into the stadium. So
Speaker 3: this guy is a man of the people, man of
Speaker 3: the people. He's not coaching football leading a revolution of
Speaker 3: pork passion and pigskin.
Speaker 1: That's PPP.
Speaker 3: And you don't jinx your season for Michael and the rest.
Speaker 1: Of you think, oh my god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 3: Did You don't jinx your season when the team's laughing,
Speaker 3: bonding and celebray good times.
Speaker 1: They're celebrating good times. You don't ruin the magic when.
Speaker 3: You're leaning in to the abracadabra, the hocus pocus. That
Speaker 3: locker room was not tense. It was alive with energy.
Speaker 3: It was alive with energy, and players respond to that.
Speaker 3: And it's not analytics, And no, you shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 3: You shouldn't have played that guy because of the analytics.
Speaker 3: This is humans being bros, humans being bros. And let's
Speaker 3: be real, Chicago has not had this kind of charisma.
Speaker 3: I know they got to the Super Bowl with the
Speaker 3: Rex Grossman, but they've not had this kind of suit
Speaker 3: of charisma since Mike Ditka removed his his with two
Speaker 3: fingers in the old stop at on National TV. And
Speaker 3: that is personality football. We just saw the moment in
Speaker 3: which the Bears coach Ben Johnson, good old Ben Johnson,
Speaker 3: became an internet legend. Johnson is throwing gasoline on the bonfire.
Speaker 3: And if the fire gets too big, okay, fine, you
Speaker 3: don't want it to get too big. It shouldn't get
Speaker 3: too big. Better to burn out, right than fade away
Speaker 3: you want to burn out, and worst case scenarios like hey, hey,
Speaker 3: at least you got a free hot dog. At least
Speaker 3: she got a free hot dog. Congratulations, We're happy for you.
Speaker 3: So Ben Johnson trying to feed Chicago one shirtless video
Speaker 3: clip at a time.
Speaker 1: That's it, all right.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, we head back to college football. Old Miss head
Speaker 3: coach Lane Kiffen expected to make a decision later today.
Speaker 3: He confronted a reporter someone named Ben not me, Ben Garrett,
Speaker 3: not Ben Gay, Ben Garrett of something called the Old
Speaker 3: Miss Spirit, which sounds like it's a riveting magazine newspaper.
Speaker 1: All that stuff. So it's very very very interesting.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So Lane Keivin confronted this guy regarding some offensive
Speaker 3: remarks made on his podcast amid the rumors that Lane
Speaker 3: Kivin's going to leave Oxford for Baton Rouge. The moment
Speaker 3: happened just minutes after Old Miss had closed its regular
Speaker 3: season with a thirty eight nineteen nineteen victory over Mississippi
Speaker 3: State the Egg Bowl. The game, there was a fight
Speaker 3: in the thing and right there boom and so there
Speaker 3: are they locked in? Are they?
Speaker 1: Are they a playoff team? I don't know.
Speaker 3: The Rebels, who were seventh in the college football playoff
Speaker 3: ranking are now eleven and one. Now later today, at
Speaker 3: some point, probably earlier in the day than late, Lane
Speaker 3: Kiffin is going to take out the trash a little
Speaker 3: Saturday news conference and the expectation is that Lane will
Speaker 3: take advantage of that escape portal and he gone, He's
Speaker 3: out of here, see you later, bye bye. So that
Speaker 3: is a good jumping off point. Everyone's japping about this.
Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question. Here's the question. What stood
Speaker 3: out to you about Lane Kiffin's hulla balloo with the.
Speaker 1: Old Miss reporter?
Speaker 3: All of this over social media presence and whatnot. So
Speaker 3: the question here is what stood out to you about
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin's hulla balloo with the the Old Miss Reporter.
Speaker 3: So we've got ourselves here a real Southern fried soap opera,
Speaker 3: and this is one that did not come with commercial breaks.
Speaker 3: All miss regular season did not end when the clock
Speaker 3: hit zero zero zero zero to infinity and beyond, and
Speaker 3: so you've got you've got this back and forth thing
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's freaking great.
Speaker 3: I absolutely love it. It is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful right there.
Speaker 3: I mean the regular season, as we say, it's over
Speaker 3: for Old Miss. But this is this is cinema. You
Speaker 3: got Lane Kiffin there, visor on white hoodie, surrounded by
Speaker 3: five fully uniformed Mississippi State troopers like he was John Gottie,
Speaker 3: and he spotted the reporter and decided, you know what,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be mean, Gene Oakland, I'm gonna be Bobby
Speaker 3: the Marain Heat and I'm gonna do a wrestling promo
Speaker 3: from back in the day. And as the reporter, this
Speaker 3: guy Ben Garrett from something called The Old Miss Spirit.
Speaker 3: We're not sure what that is, but the kid Froz
Speaker 3: and I've actually been there. I relate to this story
Speaker 3: because I've had this happen to me where I've gotten
Speaker 3: confronted and when you're a young enough guy, you don't
Speaker 3: really know what to do. You're like, oh oh oh boy,
Speaker 3: uh oh yeah. So yet you have that And he
Speaker 3: did freeze like he was this guy Ben Garrett, the
Speaker 3: reporter froze like he was a wood frog in winter
Speaker 3: hibernation mode, shut down sequence, initiated all that stuff, and
Speaker 3: so you respart. No fight, no pushback, no quick thinking,
Speaker 3: just a lot of puddles, a lot of puddles out
Speaker 3: there for Lane Kiffin. And then, like so many do today,
Speaker 3: the reporter ran not to the tunnel. He didn't run
Speaker 3: to try to find a number to apologize to.
Speaker 1: The so and so.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: What sparked this a line from this guy's podcast about
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin. The guy he gets does some podcasts and said,
Speaker 3: can't turn a hoe into a housewife. How hose rather
Speaker 3: hose don't act right?
Speaker 1: So pece a while. Lane was offended by this. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Now, it's not just any kind of jabber. That is
Speaker 3: a direct lyric from Snoop Doggy Dog and Nate dogg
Speaker 3: the classic West Coast anthem. Ain't no fun if the
Speaker 3: homies can't have none. So there is that, uh. And
Speaker 3: it was a nineties staple, is what it was. But
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffen heard it differently. Good old Lane, stay eating y'all. Lane,
Speaker 3: he heard it differently. He got some word from someone
Speaker 3: that they called him a ho. And moments after the
Speaker 3: egg Bowl win, there and some are saying the biggest
Speaker 3: egg Bowl win over arrival in their rivalry game in
Speaker 3: Old Miss history. So Lane storms right to the locker
Speaker 3: room and then he got distracted and says, you know,
Speaker 3: want to walk in here and call me a hoe, pointing.
Speaker 1: Towards the locker room. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 3: And in that cartoon bubble above my head, I stood
Speaker 3: up and I applauded again. Content that is cinema is
Speaker 3: what that is, and it's going to be old news.
Speaker 3: The reason I brought this up and I brought up
Speaker 3: the Friday NFL game is one of the advantags you
Speaker 3: have doing a podcast every day is you don't have
Speaker 3: to worry about trying to squeeze everything in and because
Speaker 3: every day is unique, every day is unique. But we
Speaker 3: have a unique setup here where we are able to
Speaker 3: give you content that other shows cannot.
Speaker 1: Give you cannot give you. It's just just the way
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: And so we put this thing together here on the
Speaker 3: fifth hour to embrace this because we know we're not
Speaker 3: going to be able to really enjoy it with other
Speaker 3: things going on over the course of the weekend. But
Speaker 3: by confronting the reporter, keep just again keeping the real.
Speaker 3: By confronting the reporter, Lane Kiffn did not just respond,
Speaker 3: He gave that fledgling podcast a free Times Square, billboard,
Speaker 3: National Audio, Advertising and television, Old school Media, all those
Speaker 3: big media companies. Before the show, maybe seventeen to twenty
Speaker 3: people had heard of the podcast. One of them was
Speaker 3: probably the host mom, another was a cousin, two others
Speaker 3: were third cousins. And then there was a stray raccoon
Speaker 3: that was quietly chewing through some.
Speaker 1: Kind of pipe. I don't know what that was. And
Speaker 1: that is the new Moxie two point zero.
Speaker 3: So thanks to Lane again for going professional wrestling at
Speaker 3: the podium. This kid's just been given billboard placement in
Speaker 3: midtown Manhattan without having to pay a nickel or a dime,
Speaker 3: not a dimeback, not a dime and that's the irony.
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin meant to bury the reporter.
Speaker 3: Instead, he marked it, marketed him, voted him, and turned
Speaker 3: him into a trending topic. He did, in the words
Speaker 3: of a disgraced infomercial ceo, there is no such thing
Speaker 3: as bad publicity, just billboards in Times Square you did
Speaker 3: not save to pay for.
Speaker 1: So someone clearly.
Speaker 3: Has an axe to grind with Lane Kiff and has
Speaker 3: been a lot of hatchet jobs on Lane, a lot
Speaker 3: of body blow, body blow, body blow, body blow and
Speaker 3: all that stuff. So listen, Lane, he is what his
Speaker 3: resume says he is. You look at his Wikipedia page
Speaker 3: and it's it's not great.
Speaker 1: It's it's not great. And it's like, you.
Speaker 3: Know, there's no such thing as bad publicity, just billboards,
Speaker 3: as we said, And and someone clearly whispered it into
Speaker 3: the year. And I don't know what what was whispberd,
Speaker 3: but one of those Hey, hey, Lane, man, did you
Speaker 3: hear what they said?
Speaker 1: You did you hear?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: I No, I didn't hear what they said about me.
Speaker 1: Well I'll wait till you hear this.
Speaker 3: And then then Lane kiffn lifelong football gypsy, by the way,
Speaker 3: notorious program hopper hoppity hop being no mad with a
Speaker 3: headset and he's got a losing memory. It'll be close
Speaker 3: to home. Lane Kiffin allergic to staying put. It's another
Speaker 3: thing you learned about Alane Kiffin coach team. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of movement, and he bails like a tenant who
Speaker 3: found out that rent is going up, and so you
Speaker 3: just kind of vacate the premises.
Speaker 1: And that's the reputation.
Speaker 3: Now as far as the whole remark as we can
Speaker 3: break that down, that is just gasoline thrown on a
Speaker 3: coaching fire that's already been burning for twenty years. Fresno State,
Speaker 3: USC Alabama a FAU now old miss and next a
Speaker 3: mystery team.
Speaker 1: We love the mystery team. We live for the mystery team.
Speaker 1: The coaching carousel goes round and round and round and
Speaker 1: round and round and round and around.
Speaker 3: And will they find a job when it all stops?
Speaker 1: All stops?
Speaker 3: And we'll see the coaching carousel in its natural habitat.
Speaker 3: It's like a dessert to a lizard. It's just lizards love.
Speaker 3: They love desserts, they do. But here's the kicker. This
Speaker 3: whole moment tells you something about college football. If you
Speaker 3: didn't already know in modern times, coaches have egos the size.
Speaker 1: Of SEC stadiums. All right.
Speaker 3: The reporters, though, they do need to do better. That
Speaker 3: reporter should have answered back to Lane Kiffen with one
Speaker 3: line and one line only, don't hate the player, Lane
Speaker 3: gotta hate the game. That would have been a walk off,
Speaker 3: a mic drop, that's the SoundBite for social media. Instead
Speaker 3: he said nothing. And so what we did is we
Speaker 3: just filled in the blanks. That's what we're doing on
Speaker 3: the Fifth Hour podcast. We're filling in the blanks. But
Speaker 3: the bottom liner, Lane Kiffin isn't mad at the reporter.
