You know, we call him 3 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: out even though we work under their auspices, and so 4 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: when they deserve credit, we gotta give it to him. 5 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: And that's in part what this Late Cake Extra Podcast 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: episode will be about today. It is, after all, the 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: Late Cake Extra Podcast. It is Wednesday, wherever you may be. 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: It is March thirtieth, the year of Our Lord, twenty 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: twenty two. I got a busy day ahead of me. 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm recording this on Tuesday, but we're still just as 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: jam packed, just as Waldwall, as we normally would be. 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: What is this credit? We're normally here together fighting the 13 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: man tooth and nail. What is the man done for 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: us lately? Well, i'll tell you in just a few minutes. 15 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: You know how this works. This is all Q and A. 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: We've been having really, quite frankly a blast doing this format. 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: I've even taken it over to Late Kick Live over 18 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: the past month. So hey, I see no reason to stop. 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: So we got a lot of questions to get to here. 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm still emptying out some that you sent like a 21 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: month ago. So let's dive in here and then I'll 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: explain everything that's going on throughout the next whatever, thirty 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: minutes an hour. We're not really constrained by time in 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: this world. Kevin wants to know, how do you advise 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: me to go about enjoying college football if NIL is 26 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: starting to turn me off? Now, I know a lot 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: of you are tired of listening to Nil. That's why 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of NIL segments. I'm tired 29 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: of it too. Kevin's not asking just about Nil. Kevin's 30 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: asking about Kevin. And I know a lot of you 31 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: out there field the same way you see these headlines, 32 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: you look at these dollar figures. You remember the once 33 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: upon a time, which is not all that long ago, 34 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: where college football just seemed more pure. Then someone in 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: the back of the room would say, well, you know 36 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: it was never pure. Yeah, but you know what you 37 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: mean when you say it too. So Kevin wants to 38 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: know if I'm turned off by this stuff, what's the advice, Kevin. 39 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: Here's the best way I can put it to you. Brother. 40 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: If you walk around your house, if you look at 41 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: the products, the appliances, if you look at what you 42 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: do for fun, if you look at your vehicle, Kevin 43 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: I don't really think you want to know every single 44 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: detail that went into the construction of that vehicle, of 45 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: that washing machine, of all these amenities that we love 46 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: in life, some of them recreationally. Do you really know 47 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: how your kayak or canoe's constructed? Now? If you've got 48 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: it in academy sports it outdoors, it's on the up 49 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: and up, obviously. But my point is there are a 50 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: lot of areas in our life where we do things, 51 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: where we have things, where we enjoy things that you 52 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: just you know ahead of time. I don't want to know. 53 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to know. Sometimes I go to restaurants 54 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: and don't want to know how the food's being prepared. 55 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: And certainly there are things in our life some are 56 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: physical in nature and others are not tangible in nature. 57 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: There are things in our lives where you've got a result, 58 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: you got a product if you will, and you're better 59 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: off just not knowing how it got there. Kevin, I 60 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: know it's a new concept, and I don't like it 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: any more than you do. In many cases, I would 62 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: advise you to look at college football the same way. 63 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: If you're turned off by nil, do what a lot 64 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: of people do. I look at the numbers, Kevin, A 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: lot of people just don't click on the stories. A 66 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: lot of people don't watch the videos. I mean, like 67 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: I said before, you've noticed a very very hard pivot 68 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: on late kick. When's last time you saw me do 69 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: an nil segment? I don't be cause you don't care 70 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: about it, And so the only thing that concerns you 71 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: right now clearly is, well, if I don't like the 72 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: overall haze it's putting over my sport, in our sport, 73 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: college football, how do I rectify that? I would tell 74 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: you ignore it, just like you do in other areas 75 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: of your life. May sound a little blunt, it may 76 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: even sound a little cruel if we really extrapolate that 77 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: out to what I actually mean. I think we all 78 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: know what I mean. We've not gone this far in 79 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: our lives if you're an adult out there without having 80 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: this conversation once or ten times in our lives. And 81 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: therefore that's my advice. My advice is, if you love 82 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: college football, you're still gonna love it absolutely as will I. 83 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: But you don't like some aspects of it, just ignore it. 84 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: Best advice you'll ever receive, Kevin, Take the things you 85 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: don't like, in life, you know, like taxes and unpaid 86 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: bills and whatnot. Just ignore it. Don't follow. Please don't 87 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: follow that last bit of advice. Kids. I tried it 88 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: in my early twenties. It turns out the government doesn't forget. 89 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: They may forget a lot of things they need to remember. 90 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: They don't forget that, though, Marcus. Next up, I watch 91 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: replays of old games to pass the time during the 92 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: X season, which Marcus understands we use here in lieu 93 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: of offseason. And Marcus says, I'm curious, which game would 94 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: you advise someone to watch from twenty twenty one if 95 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: you could only choose one. This answer is really easy 96 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: for me because Marcus just so happens to be asking 97 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: the day after I watched the replay of this game, 98 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: Red River Shootout Texas OU. That would be October ninth, 99 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: high noon, eleven am Central time, kickoff from the Cotton 100 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Yours truly was there. I have 101 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: well documented by this point my experience. I'm not at 102 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: all unwilling to document it once more. But think about 103 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: the game. Forget me being there, Forget the mild sunburn 104 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: I got and getting to meet Bevo and watching gunfire 105 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: on both end zones all afternoon because both schools have 106 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: artillery based touchdown celebrations, and since there were over one 107 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: hundred combined points in the game, we had plenty of 108 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: celebration that afternoon. But think about the game. It was 109 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: twenty eight to seven. There were multiple times Texas has 110 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: a three touchdown lead in the game, and then oh you, 111 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: not with their starting quarterback and Spencer Rattler, but their backup, 112 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: true freshman who's yet to start a game in Caleb Williams, 113 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: leads a comeback and they get all the way back 114 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: to tie at forty one up. And then Xavier Worthy, 115 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: who's a true freshman for Texas, he's just going off. 116 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: He's having a career on an afternoon and he catches 117 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass right in front of me. We use 118 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: that video all the time. That's standard Texas b roll 119 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: for us on Late Kick Live. And so he's going off. 120 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: But they left a minute and change on the clock, 121 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: and oh you, I think they got to where they 122 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: just needed a field goal. It was ty game, and 123 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: they get down there it's forty eight all and there 124 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: was like fifteen seconds to go, and they're just trying 125 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: to line it up for a field goal, and then 126 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: it was I think Kennedy Brooks just broke one off 127 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: to the end zone and said, don't worry about it. 128 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: We'll we'll just take all six of these points here 129 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: and we'll head back to Norman with the win. And 130 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself, what did I just witness? 131 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: And I would tell you if you watch it, yeah, 132 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: you can go find the condensed game. But I mean, 133 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: if you really got some downtime, like it sounds like 134 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: you do here, I got to pull the document up, Marcus. 135 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: If it sounds like you have some downtime, you ought 136 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: to watch the whole game, minus the commercials, of course, 137 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: pull up the longer form YouTube file. It is a ride. 138 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a roller coaster ride. And then here's 139 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: the best part. This is what I love trying to 140 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: give you access to since it was eleven am kickoff. 141 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: It's just blue skies. It's so beautiful there that afternoon. 142 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: It's early October, so the air is not freezing cold, 143 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: but it's nice and crisp. The humidity has largely been 144 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: sucked out of the area, so it's just great. It 145 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: is great. Love it. After the game It's only like 146 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: three thirty or four o'clock in the afternoon, so I'm 147 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: down on the field and I'm doing postgame stuff for CBS, 148 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: and this place has been full of, however, many thousands 149 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: of people, and I've been listening to gunfire go off 150 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: for three and a half four hours and it's just 151 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: been constant bedlam. First time I ever heard that word 152 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: with Sean McDonough in the ninth NLCS when the Braves 153 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: beat the Pirates in Game seven. This place is bedlam, 154 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: and I've used it ever since. I know that there's 155 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: an actual rivalry game between Ou and Oklahoma State named Bedlam, 156 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: but it was Bedlam that afternoon too, So anyway, it 157 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: was the most surreal thing because I'm standing there on 158 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: the field waiting for them to toss to me for 159 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: the live hit. I think it may have been Joe 160 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: Musso or who else would have been there. Quem Dermish 161 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: may have been there. But as I'm standing there, this 162 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: place has gone from so raucous to being so quiet. 163 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: You can hear the cups blowing around and the empty 164 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: bottles blowing around, and I'm thinking to myself, what a 165 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: juxtaposition it was so it's kind of eerie feeling. It's 166 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: like that feeling if you've I don't know if you 167 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: guys are like this, or maybe I'm just the only 168 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: weirdo that thinks this way. But if you're in a 169 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: place where you know something huge happened at one time, 170 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: or in this case, had happened within the last two hours, 171 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: and then it's just bathed in silence, and you think 172 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: about that, that juxtaposition of one moment in time versus 173 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: this moment in time. It's really surreal to look around 174 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: and think, Man, this place an hour ago, anything but this. 175 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, Marcus, I'd send them right to the Red 176 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: River shootout and don't you dare let them call it rivalry. 177 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: Send them to that game. And if it's an agnostic 178 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: fan out there, if you're trying to convert someone to 179 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: college football, you're showing that game. And then they're gonna 180 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: ask you, are they all like this? Just tell them yeah, 181 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: they'll find out later. Shane is about to ask us equestrian. 182 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: But you know I was talking earlier about management. Really 183 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: I waited for the story because I know if I 184 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: know management like I think I do, they only listen 185 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: to the first two or three minutes just to make 186 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: sure the audio quality is good. Then they check it 187 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: off on a little box and then they're out of here. Well, look, management, 188 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: I gotta give them some credit today. You know a 189 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: lot of you have been dealing with this. I don't 190 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: know where you guys work. You work all over the world. 191 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: We've been giving international shout outs left and right. But 192 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you in the United States. 193 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: You either haven't gone back to the office yet, or 194 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: maybe you've recently gone back to the office because of COVID. Well, 195 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: I am a I used to be ViacomCBS employee, and 196 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm a paramount employee. I never know what our company's 197 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: called week to week, but anyway, I'm an employee of 198 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: this place, and we're going back to the office tomorrow. 199 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: Now it doesn't really matter to us because we've been 200 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: in the office the entire time Director Colin, producer Jesse, 201 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: producer Jordan's even darkened the door of this place a 202 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: time or two. But everybody else has been gone. So 203 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: everybody's returning tomorrow, and it's been a point of emphasis 204 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: for the company for like a month. Our return to 205 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: office date is going to be Wednesday, March thirtieth. They 206 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: didn't say the year of our Lord twenty twenty two. 207 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't think it's allowed. But yeah, so that's tomorrow, obvi, 208 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: or today as you're listening, and I have promptly thrown 209 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: up the deuces and headed to Mississippi to chase tornadoes. 210 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: That's where I'm at today as you're listening. I'm probably 211 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: on I fifty five or I twenty two. I'm somewhere 212 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: in Mississippi or maybe even Louisiana, chase in tornadoes. And 213 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: I told management, didn't really ask permission, but I told management, 214 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna be here tomorrow. I got tornadoes to chase. 215 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: And you know what the high level mustache has said. 216 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: They leaned back, took a sip of sparkling water. Their 217 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: secretary just delivered and said, Okay, we get it, we 218 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: get it. How about that? I mean, did you ever 219 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: think whopstead of thought the day would come where I 220 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: had to praise management here? So look, they're letting us 221 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: do where, they're letting me do my thing today. I 222 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: think a lot of you think I'm insane for doing this, 223 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: but I may have a story or two for you 224 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: come Sunday if everything goes right. We had a bust 225 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: last week, so hopefully things go a lot better today. 226 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: All right, let's get ourselves back on track here. Who's 227 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: up next? I keep minimizing the document. Troy's up next. 228 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: Troy is asking a question that has tripped up lesser 229 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: men before, so let me be very careful here. He said, 230 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: when you cover games, do you root for a specific thing? Like, 231 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: for instance, do you always want to see an upset happen? I? Honestly, 232 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: it's a case basis kind of weak to week thing, Troy. 233 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: There's sometimes where I don't know. It kind of depends 234 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: on how we've talked about the game throughout the week. 235 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: Like I'm not so, I'm not so dense as to 236 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: tell you I don't want to be right. So if 237 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: I made a prediction on the game, yeah, I want 238 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: to be proven right. But then there are a lot 239 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: of times where let's say I was smart enough to 240 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: use the credential I had for A and M versus 241 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: Alabama last year instead of flying home after the aforementioned 242 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: Red River shootout, And let's say I was there, Well, 243 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: I picked Alabama to win that game. But if we 244 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: got into the fourth quarter and I realized, Okay, this 245 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: is nip and tuck and Bama's having to come from behind. 246 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: I have a real chance here to see the biggest 247 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: upset of the year. Yeah, I probably changed my rooting 248 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: interest because I mean, listen, my entire purpose for choosing 249 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: the events, the games that we go to is I 250 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: want to be at the game everyone's talking about the 251 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: next day. That's our sole purpose, and that's why sometimes 252 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: we took the Renaissance Tour to a city other than 253 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: the one you thought that we'd be in. Sometimes it 254 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: made sense and the obvious choice was the right choice. 255 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: But that kind of makes me, that kind of makes 256 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: me view it through a different lens. Yeah, I'd love 257 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: to see crazy things happen, but look, if you give 258 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: me a good game, I'm fine either way. Oklahoma, I 259 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: mean I believe they were favorite over Texas last year. Look, 260 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: it was a classic game, so at that point, I 261 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: don't care who wins. The game. That upset me the 262 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: most was it was Iowa Iowa State. Now, I did 263 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: have a rooting interest there. I mean I openly root 264 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: for Iowa State, and it was a turnover filled game 265 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: for the Cyclones. They never gave themselves a chance to win. 266 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: And the thing about it is it wasn't late in 267 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: the game when it happened. I mean, it was kind 268 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: of a snowball effect over three or four quarters. And 269 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: that was one I built up for a long time. 270 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: Longtime followers of the show, well no, I even went 271 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: so far as to take photographs of myself in a cornfield. 272 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: Normal people looked at it and said, oh, cool, he's 273 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: in a cornfield. Iowan's in the audience immediately noticed it 274 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: was not Iowa Coorn. I don't know how they picked 275 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: that out, but they know corn better than I do. Yeah, 276 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: I was caught. We were in mock Georgia. That is 277 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: where the cornfield was. I don't want to get any 278 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: more specific than that, but we were in mock Georgia. 279 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, I root for what's in the best interest 280 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: of making me seem like I know what I'm talking about, 281 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: and then I want to see the most interesting thing happen. 282 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: I want to be where the craziness goes down. I 283 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: want to be able to be telling people I was there. 284 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: If you listen to the show, you know how prideful 285 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: I am when I say I was there. I was 286 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: on the sideline for this game. Hey, that's a big 287 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: deal because I'm still about eight years old. I just 288 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: have an adult body, but I'm eight years old, and 289 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: so it excites me to be able to say that 290 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: always will. Blaine is up next. Blaine said, choose one 291 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: program and you can just snap your fingers and you 292 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: can instantly see them become a national powerhouse. Nebraska would 293 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: be my choice, and I could put the word again 294 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: on the end of this question, see them become a 295 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: national title powerhouse again, Blaine, I'm choosing Nebraska, man, So 296 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: think this through with me. If Nebraska became a national 297 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: just perennial powerhouse program again, what would have to have happened. 298 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: The dynamics would have to have shifted, They would have 299 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: had to get the right coach in there. And I 300 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: don't know how it happens, but look, you told me 301 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: all I have to do snap my fingers. So I did. 302 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: And here's Nebraska just neck and neck with Ohio State 303 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: and Bama every single year. Great. How did it happen? 304 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: That's my next question? What pathway did they go about? 305 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: Because here's the thing I'm thinking about. If I get 306 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: Nebraska back to elite status, whatever they did and Lincoln, 307 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: Nebraska is certainly going to be applicable across the entire country, 308 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: all four corners of the country. And what I mean 309 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: by that is no longer if Nebraska figures it out, 310 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: would you be able to make the excuse that all 311 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: the resources they just cripple us to the point where 312 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: we can't compete on the highest level in this sport. 313 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: A lot of people say that right now. The reason 314 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: I'd love to see Nebraska figure it out is because 315 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: Nebraska's parked in the middle of the heartland. So if 316 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: you want to complain that you don't have access to 317 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: talent and you don't have the kind of resources that 318 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: a major program does, well, if Nebraska figures it out, 319 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: I would forever be able to point at Nebraska and say, well, 320 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: how are they doing it? You know, I mentioned Iowa 321 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: State a second ago. I have felt Iowa State has 322 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: been this for a little while. The problem is people 323 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: they are so shallow in their thinking that they look 324 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: at Iowa State and they say, well, that's a bad comparison. 325 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: Iowa State hasn't won a national title. Yeah, but what 326 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: they've achieved, the level that they've performed at relative to 327 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: their access to resources or lack thereop has been nothing 328 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: short of phenomenal, you know there. In other words, there 329 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: are programs out there where Iowa State has fractional access 330 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: to resources as they do, but yet they're still achieving 331 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: at a higher level than those programs. But I love it. 332 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: I mean for nostalgia purposes alone, I'd love it, don't 333 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: get me wrong, even if you ignore everything else. I 334 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: just rambled on about you just give me Nebraska in 335 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: a national championship game again. Man, it would feel in 336 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: a world where the sport has been on such a 337 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: slippery slope or slopes in so many ways. It would 338 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: be such a throwback. It'd be so great. It's like 339 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: like Stone Cold coming out of retirement for WrestleMania. It'd 340 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: be like hey one for the nineties kids. Okay, that's 341 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: exactly how I would feel if Nebraska all of a 342 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: sudden just popped off a run of about a decade 343 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: of perennial national title contention. Can you imagine that? What 344 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: would have to happen? Though? Oh, I just want to 345 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: think it through. But it's very unprofessional for me to 346 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: daydream while I've got the mic turned on. So I 347 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: guess what I'm gonna have to do is toss you 348 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: to break you who don't have to tell me? I 349 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: know I got you on that one. You don't even 350 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: have to say anything. I won't acknowledge it if you 351 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: won't acknowledge it. But any of you who claims you 352 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: saw that ad toss coming are lying to me, and 353 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: you're lying to yourselves, and quite frankly, be better. Let's 354 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: dive back in Nathaniel, not to be confused with Nathan. 355 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: Now Nathaniel wants to know which quarterback race in spring. 356 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm keeping my eye on, well, Nathaniel. I call them 357 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: battles in spring. I don't call them races. So not 358 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: that you really care about my semantical side of the equation, 359 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: but I'm looking at Texas A and M. Got a 360 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: call today from a hashtag well placed source that quarterback 361 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: battle in College Station is going to be real. It 362 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: is real. And the thing about it is, I've talked 363 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: to people on both sides of the fence, like there 364 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: are some people out there who just assume Max Johnson 365 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: will be the starter. That's the LSU transfer. For those 366 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: unfamiliar with the inner workings of the portal. Over the 367 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: past six months and then on the other side, you 368 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: got people who assume, well, if Hain's King is healthy, 369 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: he'll be our starter. I've always been of the opinion 370 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: there's going to have to be a battle there, because 371 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: if Haines King is healthy, he's not some easy out 372 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: short of Bryce Young transferring to College Station. That's not 373 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: a guy. You know, CJ. Stroud or Bryce Young comes in, 374 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: they're okay. But Max Johnson comes in there. All due 375 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: respect to Max Johnson, Haines King's gonna fight him. That's 376 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a battle. So this was never a situation 377 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: where I looked at College Station and said, oh a 378 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 1: and m man, they'll have their quarterback battle figured out 379 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: with a couple of weeks and then we'll start install 380 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: and man, they'll hit the ground, run in, and they'll 381 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: be well ahead of the curve come fall. Uh Okay, Well, 382 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that's the way it's gonna play out. 383 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that's the way it is playing out there. 384 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: By the way, that's not a bad thing. And that's 385 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: why God invented spring practice. And also, and this is 386 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: where we have to really be careful. Coaching staffs know it, 387 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: even though none of them talk about it publicly. But Nathaniel, 388 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: think about it for a second. Buddy, you're an A 389 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: and M fan, because I can see your avatar. Do 390 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: you really want a clear quarterback picture to emerge by 391 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: the end of spring, because we all know in the 392 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: transfer portal era what a clear picture means. It means 393 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna wake up any given morning, put your contacts 394 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: in roll over, check your eye, Josh, or maybe your eye, Nathaniel. 395 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: And there's the headline. So and so is under the 396 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: transfer portal, and it kills your quarterback depth. And then 397 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: what if you get a repeat of last year, You 398 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: get early in the season, less than a quarter of 399 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: the way through, all of a sudden, there goes your 400 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Well, in a world where the picture remains 401 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: hazy and both guys battle well into fall camp, maybe 402 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: you've got Haines King or Max Johnson as your backup. 403 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: But if we exit spring and this thing's just concluded 404 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: and decided, chances are you ain't got one of them 405 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: because both of those guys are starting caliber quarterbacks. And 406 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: I have said the word ain't already twice on the 407 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: pod What an every Man's College Football Podcast? And I'm 408 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: wearing the blue shirt, even though I'm not recording video 409 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: right now, so you know the collar's blue now and forever. 410 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: But I think it's best for all parties involved that 411 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: this quarterback battle remains a battle and it's authentic, it's real. 412 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're manufacturing it whatsoever. But the hashtag 413 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: well placed sours said just in case you were going 414 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: to be surprised by this. Hey, it's a battle out here, 415 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: and I don't think it's a bad thing. In fact, 416 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: I think it's best for your program. If you've got 417 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: multiple legitimate options, keep them fighting. I mean, get into 418 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: the second week of fall camp for all I care, 419 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: and then let the chips fall where they may. When 420 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: you have to declare one, declare one, but wait as 421 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: long as possible. I don't think I'm telling Jimbo Fisher, 422 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: who no doubt listens to the pod cover to cover. 423 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm telling him anything he doesn't already know. 424 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: Even though we are not deep enough into the portal 425 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: era where any coach would dare admit this, none of 426 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: them would ever admit they think like that. Most every 427 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: one of them actually does think like that. And by 428 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: that I mean keeping the suspense or the illusion of 429 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: suspense as long as possible, because when guys think they 430 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: have a shot, they're more likely to stay on campus 431 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: and less likely to boo hop into the portal. Next up, 432 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: Melanie coh boy, I should have teased this at the 433 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: beginning of the show. A lot of you asked me 434 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: about this. If you're new around here, it's probably gonna 435 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: stun you what I'm about to openly discuss. But here's 436 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: what the question is. I'll just go ahead and read 437 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: it to you and then I'll let you know what 438 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: the update is. Well, any asks Are you going to 439 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: tell us when something happens with your contract and or 440 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: the show? Yes, absolutely, I'm going to keep you up 441 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: to date. I posted an update I think around a 442 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: month ago. I don't know. Times kind of blended together lately, 443 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: but here's where we are. Where we are is my 444 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: contract is up with CBS in twenty four seven Sports 445 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: as of May thirty first, which, if you do in 446 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: the math out there is around two months from now. 447 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: As of this moment, I have not entered into a 448 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: new deal with this company nor any other company. There 449 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: is nothing that is imminent. I have spoken at length 450 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: with CBS. Those talks have been ongoing. I'm representing myself 451 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: in this matter. This sounds really really fancy, a lot 452 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: fancier than it should be. It's just me. But there's 453 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: nothing I can tell you publicly yet or privately. If 454 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: we were talking off air, I still really couldn't tell 455 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: you anything, Melanie. I will say. I mean, the dialogue's 456 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: been really good. There are several seemingly infinite routes that 457 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: you can go these days. Some are obvious, some or not. 458 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: I have well laid all this out for CBS. CBS 459 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: has well laid out their position. It's not like we're 460 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: to stale made or anything like that. It's progressing. It 461 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: always has to get up to the eleventh hour before 462 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: you really get action on these sorts of things. Think 463 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: of it no different than an assignment in high school. 464 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: Think of it as a book report. You know when 465 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: that things do. Everyone knows when the contracts up. But 466 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: sometimes you just gotta feel that heat. Here's what you 467 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: need to know, Melanie, Here's what anyone else listening needs 468 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: to know. This show will not go anywhere. Even if 469 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: I were to not even work here anymore, the show 470 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: is going to be around the show is going to exist, 471 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: so don't worry about that, And if any changes happened 472 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: to the show, it will only be for the better. 473 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: And there are things coming either way that are going 474 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: to be long overdue. For example, like I was telling 475 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: you this time last year because I was sure that 476 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: we were going to get it and we had to 477 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: delay it pate State and late kick merchandise. I mean, 478 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: come on, it's such a no brainer, and so we're 479 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: going to have it now. Make no mistake. I will 480 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: tell you that we're going to get what we as 481 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: a community want. One way or the other sounded like 482 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: a hosted situation. It's not that it's amicable, and not 483 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: like divorce amicable. I'm saying we're working through it. It's amicable. 484 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: But Melanie, when when I know, you'll know, that's the 485 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: way I'll put it. I may even do like a 486 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: commitment video. I may have a press conference or whatever 487 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: we want to do with it, may just announce it 488 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: on the show, may just tweet it out at three am. 489 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: But you will know when I know. I did want 490 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: to tell you this though. It's been really really refreshing 491 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: to be able to be open about this is in 492 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: and of itself an indication about how well I've been 493 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: treated here. I know I joke around sometimes about management 494 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: and whatnot, but let me tell you, they have let 495 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: us do what we want. You can tell by the 496 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: kind of show that we do. You can tell by 497 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: how it doesn't really have a corporate feel to it 498 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: at all. They haven't tried to blend it in to 499 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: anything else. So I really appreciate that. Dan Davidson, who 500 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: is a he lets me use this first and last name. 501 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: He is a long time listener and viewer of Late Cake. 502 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: He wrote me an email yesterday and I told him 503 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: I was going to read it on air, because if 504 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: you want to know, especially for those of you who 505 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: are new around here, you hear some of these phrases 506 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: and it kind of fuels a little weird, a little 507 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: different around here. What are these people up to? What's 508 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: the show about? I heard about it. I'm checking it out. 509 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: What's it about? Dan Davidson wrote an email which actually 510 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: sums up what we have here amongst ourselves. I do 511 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: mean we better than I could. He said, Here's why 512 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: I think your show so popular. First Off, you've given 513 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: me what I long to have for many years, and 514 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: that is a legitimate spokesperson for our sport, a continuation 515 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: of the water cooler discussions that we already have amongst 516 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: ourselves on a daily basis. Secondly, you're able to define 517 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: the important elements that even those of us who understand 518 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: the mechanics of the game may just overlook, things that 519 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: end up making college football a completely unique fan experience. Thirdly, 520 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,239 Speaker 1: and in these times just as important, you've given us 521 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: pure college football programming in a language we understand, without 522 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: all the divisive garbage that a true college football fan 523 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: and sports fan is disgusted by. There's no political correctness, 524 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: there's no narrative overtruth, there's no corporate agenda, which sadly 525 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: has become the norm. And lastly, you give me the 526 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: feel that the program is not suit and tie. You 527 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: are genuinely one of us. So props to all that, brother, 528 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: because you've checked all the important boxes and achieved well 529 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: deserved success. That's from Dan. I'm not going to add 530 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: anything on to that. If you ever wanted to know 531 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: what this show is about. In a nutshell, that's what 532 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: this show's about. Appreciate it. Dan. Get emails like that 533 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: all the time that one was just put together so 534 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: succinctly I decided to share it on air. Mark up next, 535 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: what's happening with Twitter spaces? Mark, I know I've talked 536 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: about it and it's coming. It's just hold on. I 537 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: got a specific concept I want to execute with Twitter spaces. 538 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't just want to get on there and ramble 539 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: and not really have a purpose and really have an 540 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: attractiveness about what we're doing. So just hold on. When 541 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: it's time to know, You'll know I should not have 542 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: said anything last a couple of weeks ago and made 543 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: it sound like it was going to happen immediately. It's 544 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: going to happen. Just be patient, Candace. Up next, how 545 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: do you decide what to talk about on the show? 546 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: Very easy, Candace. I just listened to you, and I 547 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: not only listened to and read and emails and stuff. 548 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,239 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to be in touch with the 549 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: undercurrent of college football. Like it's easy for me to 550 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: know what's going to click with you because I talk 551 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: to you every day, and I'm on boards every day 552 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: and read it and Twitter. I mean, I'm actually interacting 553 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: with you. So it's no different than the way I 554 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: grew up. I used to always be fascinated when I 555 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: started pitching the concept of doing late kick independently, when 556 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: I used to do it way back in the day 557 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: at the TV station, and the GM there said, well, 558 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: how are you going to know what to talk about? 559 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: I said, man, do you know what valuable a commodity? 560 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: A simple subscription to twenty four seven Sports is. I 561 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: actually said this, This is not me shilling for the company. 562 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: I said, when you subscribe to twenty four seven Sports, 563 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: you get access to every team website. And I paused 564 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: and he said, okay, go on. He didn't know what 565 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: I meant. Said. That means you get access to every 566 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: fan community, every message board. You get to know what 567 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: is actually being talked about and what has actually cared 568 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: about everywhere. Like it's the easiest concept in the world. Well, 569 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: just talk about what they're talking about, have a take, 570 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: have an opinion on what they're talking about. But you 571 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: know why you don't hear that more. Firstly, you don't 572 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: hear it more because it's a very low hanging fruit 573 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: industry at this point, and so people don't really want 574 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: to dig. They don't really want to take time and 575 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: observe the subcurrent and then form their own opinions. But 576 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: the other thing is they don't relate to it. A 577 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: lot of the programming that you used to be force 578 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: fed and I used to be force fed, And that's 579 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: why I tried to do something about it was happening 580 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: from studios two thousand miles away from you, a lot 581 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: of times, from people who had never lived around you, 582 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: who were not of you and did not really speak 583 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: your language. So you know, if you want to complain 584 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: about it, okay, But if you've got some god given 585 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: ability and you have any kind of resource about yourself, 586 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: then do something about it. Was my take, and so 587 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: we've tried to do something about it. We tried to 588 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: build the show in a way that reflects you instead 589 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: of a boardroom, and we're going to continue to do 590 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: it that way as long as we are allowed to 591 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: do it that way. So that's how I decide, Candas 592 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: I talk about what you want to hear the end, Shelton. 593 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: Up next I do a college football podcast. I was 594 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: wondering from someone who's been in both lanes, do you 595 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: like working for a major company or do you like 596 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: the independent life better. I like being able to live 597 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: the independent life at a major company, which is quite 598 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: literally what I have. Again, going back to the theme 599 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: I touched on briefly a few minutes ago, this is 600 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: a very, very best of both world scenario that management 601 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: has allowed me to have here, and I don't want 602 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: to take it for granted. I certainly don't, so I'm 603 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: not kidding when I tell you guys, it's a dream job. 604 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: You get to just choose any game you want to 605 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: go to. They pay the freight. You get to make 606 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: your own schedule as long as you're doing good work. 607 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: Now that's the prerequisite, so they think we do good 608 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: enough work where you can come and go as you please, 609 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: which still means grind seven days a week in the season, 610 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: but you coming go as you please, you make your 611 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: own hours. I have total creative control in the formatting 612 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: of the show, and all that basically turns into us 613 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: being able to do a product that is no different 614 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: in the field of it than when I was independent. 615 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 1: Those opportunities, I'm not going to lie to you now 616 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: are very few and far between. In fact, I've viewed 617 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: what we're doing with Late Kick is very much being 618 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: a trendsetter. Hopefully that opens the door for more of 619 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: you to do it. This way. I have a big 620 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: responsibility that I've taken upon myself to make sure I 621 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: do good work because I know a lot of you 622 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: out there are just as capable as I am of 623 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: executing this. You may not have been given a shot. Well, 624 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: I was the one who was given a shot. You know. 625 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: RJ Young with Fox has been given a shot. A 626 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: few of us have been given a shot. It's up 627 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: to us. It's up to us because, for all I know, 628 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: the chances and the fate of a dozen more of 629 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: you out there may be riding on what I do 630 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: with this opportunity. I've always thought that way. That's not 631 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: some new concept to me. Nathan, up next, which game 632 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: are you going to in Week one this year? And why? 633 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: Is the answer? Cincinnati versus Arkansas. You may not be 634 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: wrong there. You may not be wrong there, Nathan, not 635 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: to be confused with Nathaniel from earlier in the pod. 636 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: So it's a loaded Week one, it usually is, and 637 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: everyone has got the sharpie out already, and they're looking 638 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame at Ohio State and that's a tough 639 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: one to turn down. But as you know, one of 640 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: the central themes on Late Cake for the past two 641 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: years now has been my inability to go to an 642 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: Arkansas game. Maybe unwillingness of some of you would dare 643 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: say unwillingness. It's not quite that. It's just the stars 644 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: haven't aligned. And you know, the criteria as we get 645 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: closer to this fall, Number one will have to name 646 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: what the tour is going to be. Last year was 647 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: the Renaissance Tour. We as a we as a community here, 648 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: we got to decide what that tour is going to 649 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: be called. But secondly, we got to decide where we're 650 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: going to go. And that Cincinnati Arkansas game, that's not 651 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: out of the realm of possibility. That place is going 652 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: to be jacked up. That's a playoff team coming in. 653 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: So don't forget that. And also, I don't think that 654 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: the expectation level going into a game will have been 655 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: higher in quite a while around the University of Arkansas 656 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: as it will be this year. kJ Jefferson at quarterback, Man, 657 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: I kind of get excited thinking about that. So, yeah, 658 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: it's not like Ohio State doesn't have all those elements too, 659 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: Notre Dame under Marcus Freeman coming in there. But you know, 660 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that go into that. 661 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: So the fact of the matter is I can confidently 662 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: tell you since An versus Arkansas in fee, that will 663 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: be a finalist for the week one yet to be 664 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: a named tour destination. All right, look, here's what I 665 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: need from you. I keep has something stuck in my teeth, 666 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: my bad, I keep asking you for this. It's for 667 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: a reason. It helps us out greatly. It's very simple. 668 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: I just need you to subscribe wherever you are listening, 669 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: maybe Spotify, maybe Apple, or on the YouTube channel wherever 670 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 1: you are, or ideally on all platforms. If you do 671 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: nothing more than subscribe, that greatly helps us out. And 672 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: for some reason, and I don't know how you live 673 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,479 Speaker 1: your life. You make your decisions. It's up to you. 674 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: That's fine. But a lot of you download the episodes, 675 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: but you're not subscribed to the podcast. And my thinking is, 676 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: if you're already gonna be there, why not subscribe because 677 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't do anything extra anyway, it just helps us out. 678 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: You don't get spammed, you don't get emailed to death, 679 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: it's nothing like that. I wouldn't let that happen. It 680 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: doesn't cost you anything, so it just helps us out. 681 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: So subscribe and then go take Mom's phone and subscribe, 682 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: and then go take me MOS's phone and subscribe. We 683 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: won't harass them, we promise. And after you do that, 684 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: sit back, relax and know you have done your part 685 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: to make sure that Peyte state flag is flying just 686 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: a little bit higher tomorrow than it was today, and 687 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: that's our entire goal. Thank you so much for listening. 688 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: Make sure you tell a buddy or two about it. 689 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: Love When you guys publicly acknowledge the pot, I retweet 690 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: you as much as I can, but look, I just 691 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: appreciate you being a part of the show in any shape, 692 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: form or fashion.
