1 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: And just like that, we're back. It's Thursday morning. It 2 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: is August nineteenth. You of our Lower twenty twenty one, 3 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: another edition of the Late Kick Extra podcast Tuesdays and 4 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: Thursdays are made from mail bag. It's wall to wall, 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: it's Q and A. You can get those submissions in 6 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: Josh paid seven zero six at gmail dot com, on 7 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: Twitter and Instagram at Latekickjosh. I want to thank you 8 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: guys for giving me all the feedback you give me. 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: A lot of times in our business, companies pay hundreds 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars for what are called focus groups, 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: which is when they would gather a lot of you 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,319 Speaker 1: up and do what you do in my inbox every day. 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: The only difference is that have to pay you to 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: do it. A couple of areas I just wanted to 15 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: remember to thank you for. The first is just that 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: we've gotten a lot of really good feedback. I always do, 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: but it's ramped up a little bit as our audience 18 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: has come back to the watering hole, so to speak. 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: But the second one, there are a lot of times 20 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: where someone hops on Twitter or Instagram wherever and they'll say, hey, 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking for new podcasts. Can you mention one, and 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: you guys are on those things like a hawk. You 23 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: pounce and several of you tag me in it, and 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: I see it. So I always thank you guys for that. 25 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: I give you the shaky hands emoji. That helps. You 26 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: don't understand how much that helps. That is how a 27 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: show gets found if you don't have a big marketing budget. 28 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: One of the blessings that we have around here is 29 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: we get left alone. When I came to twenty four 30 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: to seven, I negotiated my deal and I negotiated my 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: last one, which I really haven't even told anyone about. 32 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: I wanted creative control, I wanted executive production status of 33 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: Late Kick, and they acquiesced to every request. They gave 34 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: it to me. The exchange is we get left alone 35 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: and we're off in our own little bubble over here, 36 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: which is wonderful. But when you're off in your own 37 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: little bubble, a lot of times you don't get the 38 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: full rocket booster of the company attached to your apparatus. 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: Now we're fine with that. I'm not complaining. What I'm 40 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: saying is you guys supplement that. So instead of going 41 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: to management and begging and begging and begging for months 42 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: for money to be carved out in the budget to 43 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: market the show. Do you understand how valuable it is 44 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: when your audience does that for you. You guys do that 45 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: for us to where we don't even have to worry 46 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: about that. That's the kind of stuff that normally keeps 47 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: a brand from getting off the ground, and we never 48 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: even have had to worry about it because you guys 49 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: have taken care of it. We have not spent a 50 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: dime to market the show. We have not spent a 51 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: dime to promote it. We have not paid to boost 52 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: tweets or Instagram post or Facebook post or anything like that. 53 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: You guys have done all that this show. That YouTube 54 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: channel in general that we broadcast Late Kick Live on 55 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: it didn't exist last March, flat out didn't exist. So 56 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: that's how much we're still kind of in our infancy 57 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: around here. One other thing that I would really love 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: to be able to show you. I would not betray 59 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: confidence in anyone, but if I could make it public, 60 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: I would so love to open up my DMS and 61 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: open up my email inbox and open the eye Josh, 62 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: cause some of these come in via text message. If 63 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: you guys could know who all's watching and listening to 64 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: this show right along with you. I think it would 65 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: put your jaw on the ground. So we have a 66 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: very colllectic group of folks, a wide ranging group of folks. 67 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: Some of the names you would recognize very very quickly. 68 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: But no matter what your job title, where you live, 69 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: your salary, the one thing we all have in common 70 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: on this particular show is we like college football delivered 71 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: a certain way. We like to discuss it with each 72 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: other a certain way. There is a lot that we 73 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: want filtered out of our college football discussion that too 74 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: many times has polluted the well elsewhere. I understand it, guys. 75 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: That's why I got into the business, because I was 76 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: fed up with what existed elsewhere and what I grew 77 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: up listening to didn't exist anymore, at least according to 78 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: my perspective. So I took it upon myself to start 79 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: doing it myself, to offer what I thought was absent 80 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: in the market. And enough of you have responded to 81 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: where I think it validates the direction we're going. So 82 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep it going that way, and we're going 83 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: to put our foot down on the gas a little 84 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: bit more. Probably next week you're gonna start seeing and 85 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: hearing some major changes. Nothing changing about the brand of 86 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: the show. We're just getting a little more that our word, 87 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: that resource, We're getting a little bit more to work with. 88 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: So with that in mind, let's dive into this morning's 89 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: mail bag. I had an overflow the other day, so 90 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: as I said, I'm going to push it right to Thursday, 91 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: here we go and twan. First up, why have coaches 92 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: like Billy Napier, Matt Campbell, and Luke Fickles stayed put? 93 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: What jobs might they be waiting for? For those of 94 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: you unfamiliar, Matt Campbell, of course, the head coach of 95 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: my Iowa State Cyclones, and then you got Luke Fickle 96 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: at Cincinnati and you got Billy Napier at Louisiana. I 97 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: have spoken about this at length, but I think it 98 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: bears repeating. As we approach a season, the coaching landscape 99 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: has changed a lot. And I was speaking to a 100 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: fairly high profile agent that represents some coaches, not these 101 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: specific coaches, but some coaches recently, and we were talking 102 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: about this. It's very fascinating because you would not think 103 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: about this on the surface, but what happened. I keep 104 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: bringing up the name Chad Morris. When I mentioned this, 105 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: because the name Chad Morris got brought up to me. 106 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: Chad Morris has served as a cautionary tale for a 107 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: lot of coaches in similar positions. Quick quick backstory. Chad 108 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: Morris high profile coordinator at Clemson. He goes to SMU, 109 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: he gets his shot as a head coach. He goes 110 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: to SMU. Now Chad Morris was doing some good things 111 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: at SMU. Arkansas came calling and Chad Morris looked and 112 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: like most of us would do, said my goodness, that's 113 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: an SEC head coaching job. That's going to be big money. 114 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: Every SEC job is, and so he took it. Well, 115 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: the problem was all SEC jobs aren't equal. But here's 116 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: the real problem. The real problem was there was really 117 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: no path. There was no path to compete with the 118 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: Alabamas of the world, with the lsus of the world, Texas, 119 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: A and m It's just total shark infested waters over there. 120 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: And what happened was Chad Morris got there and there 121 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: was no path for him. There was no path. His 122 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: best case scenario was not going to work out. Well. 123 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: It totally torpedoed his reputation as a coach. So then 124 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: he goes to Auburn to try and rehabilitate his image, 125 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: but it doesn't work there either. And Chad Morris is 126 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: coaching high school football now. Now, we got a ton 127 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: of high school coaches who listen to the podcast. I 128 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: am not bemoaning at all high school coaches. What I'm 129 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: saying is, if you're taking the goal of Chad Moore's 130 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: and if you're taking what his ambition was, which was 131 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: to be a major power five college football head coach, 132 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: that is off the rails right now. And a lot 133 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: of folks you can agree or disagree with this, but 134 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: a lot of folks in the agent world, they think 135 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: he made the mistake by leaving SMU for Arkansas. Now, 136 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: that sounds really crazy, And I understand why it sounds crazy, 137 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: because Arkansas is a better job than SMU right well, 138 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: to you and me, it is certainly to ninety nine 139 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: point nine percent of the college football public. It is. 140 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: It is in a bigger conference. You get better athletes, 141 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: you got way better facilities, you got better tradition, it 142 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: makes more money. You're checking all these boxes. But yet 143 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: an agent would sit there, whether you're Billy Napier right 144 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: now or maybe you're Matt Campbell. I think Billy Napier 145 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: is the better example, the more apples to apples comparison. 146 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: Billy Napier is at Louisiana. Billy Napier, you can trust 147 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: me on this. Has turned down more than one SEC 148 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: head coaching job not named Vanderbilt recently. He has done that. 149 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: He has had it on the table. It has been 150 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: his to take and he is not pushed forward, and 151 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: he's done his due diligence, but he and his representation 152 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: they have not taken it. They are choosing Louisiana for 153 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: the time being over major SEC jobs. Why is that, Well, 154 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: the reason is because the dynamics have changed. You make 155 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: way way way more money at the highest levels of 156 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: G five right now then you used to make it 157 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: the lower levels of power five. And what happens is 158 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: just like in the Power five, in the G five, 159 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: when you get to the top of it, the new 160 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: perception is, if you get your program up to the 161 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: level that since he is, or that UCF is, or 162 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: right now in the sunbelt that Louisiana is, you're not 163 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. You're just going to stay up there. 164 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: If you're a good coach, especially you're going to stay 165 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: up there indefinitely. And what happens is you keep getting 166 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: incremental pay bumps, so you may go from one quarter 167 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: to two to two and a half to two and 168 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: three quarter, and that's really good money. But what it's 169 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: more importantly doing is it's buying you time indefinitely if 170 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: you need it to stay there and wait for Georgia 171 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: or wait for Ohio State or wait for Oklahoma calls. 172 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: All three of those programs, and these agents know it 173 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: good and well when they look. All three of those 174 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: programs have something in common. Clemson's another one. They all 175 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: have current head coaches whose first major head coaching job 176 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: was at the program they're at right now. Kirby's first 177 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: head coaching job is Georgia. Lincoln's first head coaching job, 178 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Day's first head coaching job, Dabo's first head coaching job. 179 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: And they're telling their clients, in this case Billy Napier, 180 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: they're telling them, hey, brother, if it were nineteen eighty three, 181 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: I would slap you in the face if you didn't 182 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: look long and hard at leaving Louisiana Lafayette for a 183 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: number of SEC programs. But the times have changed and 184 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: there is risk. Now, there's actual risk that some think 185 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: outweigh the potential reward long term from leaving Louisiana to 186 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: go to what is perceived as a Tier two or 187 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: Tier three SEC program because they think the gap right 188 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: now is so big that you're not going to be 189 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: able to win. You're gonna lose, You're gonna get embarrassed, 190 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: and your reputation is gonna be sullied, and it's gonna 191 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: hurt your ability to elevate in the coaching profession. Now, 192 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: that's the fear out there, and that is the reason 193 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: why a lot of these coaches are staying part. That's 194 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: a working theory. Now we all know there could be 195 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: something else in the equation. There's really no way to 196 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: know this unless you could open someone up and really 197 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: look inside their heart and look inside their soul. It 198 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,599 Speaker 1: could just be that a guy like Matt Campbell or 199 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: any of the names we just mentioned, could just be 200 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: he's found happiness. He is totally content where he is. 201 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: He knows that maybe the outside world wouldn't view it 202 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: the same as him, but that's cool because the outside 203 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: world doesn't matter. It's just what I value. You can 204 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: afford to be selfish. You and your family, of course, 205 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: can afford to be selfish. And if you're happy where 206 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: you are. One of the best pieces of advice you 207 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: will ever get is don't try and get happier than happy. 208 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: Don't do it. There is so far to fall in, 209 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: so little room to rise. When you're happy. One of 210 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: the most short sighted, ignorant things you can do is 211 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: constantly be looking to move. No, no, everyone else who's 212 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: looking to move is looking to move because they're trying 213 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: to get what you have, happiness. So those are a 214 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: couple of working theories that I don't really think it's 215 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: a one size fits all at all. I think it's 216 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: very much a case by case basis. Next question is 217 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: from Gabe. What are your thoughts on Arkansas? What can 218 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: they do this year? Boy, Well, we just kind of 219 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: went down this road. I'll tell you this, Gabe. I 220 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: got the jpeopole coming out, but I'm probably not gonna 221 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: go as far down as Arkansas is. But that's not 222 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: a slight I think a lot of folks would lead 223 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: you to believe Arkansas, if we power rated all one 224 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty some odd teams, they'd be down in 225 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: the sixties or seventies. That's not even remotely correct. I've 226 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: got Arkansas somewhere in the mid thirties. In fact, the 227 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: only reason a lot of folks would discount Arkansas right now, 228 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: if they knew what they were talking about, is just 229 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: cause they play one of, if not the hardest schedules 230 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: in the country. So certainly it is very very much 231 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: in doubt whether Arkansas can make a bowl game. It's 232 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: just that hard. But that's all relative. That's why I 233 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: do not believe you simply are what your record says 234 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: you are in college because let me kick you this scenario. 235 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 1: Keep the same conference. Let's just switch schedules. Let's keep 236 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: Arkansas in the SEC. Let's have them played Georgia's schedule. 237 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: They faced Clemson. Arkansas would be a big dog against Clemson. 238 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: UAB that'd be favored against South Carolina at home, that'd 239 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: be favored against at Vanderbilt, they'd be favored, can't play themselves. 240 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: At Auburn, they would be a short dog. But we 241 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: saw last year it literally took Auburn and the SEC 242 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: officials to take that game from Arkansas. That have Kentucky 243 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: at home, that'd be favored in that game, Florida. They 244 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: would be a dog against Missouri at home, would be 245 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: close to a pick them. I would imagine at Tennessee, 246 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: ditto Charleston Southern that'd be favored against. At Georgia Tech 247 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: that'd be favored against. So I just read you an 248 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: SEC schedule where Arkansas I think would be favored in 249 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: at least six games, they would be competitive in another 250 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: two that I think would be around to pick them. Well, 251 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we're talking about you if you 252 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: just win the games you're supposed to win, being in 253 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: the seven to eight win range. So you see how 254 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: different record changes the scenario and changes the conversation in 255 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: college football. And don't even get me started on taking 256 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: Arkansas and giving them Coastal Carolina schedule, because then they're 257 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: a double digit favorite team. They're a double digit win 258 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: favorite team. I didn't change anything about the roster. It's 259 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: still Sam Pittman, it's still kJ Hill, still the exact 260 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: same offensive line, exact same everything, right down to the 261 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: trainers and the nutrition staff, same everything. But I changed 262 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: the schedule and all of a sudden it changes the team. Well, 263 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: that leads me to believe you're not what your record says, 264 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: you are so Arkansas this year as it is. For 265 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: those of you who are unfamiliar, sit back, well, I 266 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: very unprofessionally flip through a magazine on not even live air, 267 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: but a podcast. If you have not looked at Arkansas schedule, 268 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: here's why no one's really talking about them. They play 269 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: Rice always and forever. One of the biggest pet peeves 270 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: on this show is you gotta beat food when it's 271 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: on your schedule. So Rice in week one. Arkansas then 272 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: plays Texas. Okay, we got Georgia Southern coming in, and 273 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: then there's this ridiculous stretch. They play three road games 274 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: in a row that you can't tell are three road games. 275 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: They go to Texas A and M, but they play 276 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: them at Arlington. That means you got to get on 277 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: a plane. That's a road trip in my mind. You're 278 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: playing Texas A and M. Then you go to Georgia 279 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: the next week, then you go to Ole, Miss the 280 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: week after that. That is a back to back to 281 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: back road stretch. You don't ever see that in college 282 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: unless you're an SCS team looking to pick up a check. 283 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: Then they have Auburn at home. Then they got Arkansas 284 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: Pine and Bluff before the bye. Come out of the bye, 285 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: they play Mike Leach in Mississippi State. Then how about 286 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 1: this little back to back road stretch at LSU at Alabama, 287 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: good luck Sam Pittman. And then you get Missouri in 288 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: Little Rock to end the season. Do you know how 289 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: many true on campus in Fayetteville home SEC games? They 290 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: have one? Two. That's it. They've got two conference games 291 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: on their campus. One of them is Auburn, the other 292 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: one is Mississippi State. They play Missouri and Little Rock. 293 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: They play Texas A and M and Arlington and so 294 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: Arkansas fans have a big problem with that. I don't 295 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: blame you, but also the difficulty of the schedule is absurd, 296 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: absolutely absurd. It's why when we get to the end 297 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: of the year, there will be times it'll be rare, 298 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: but there will be times where I'll have three loss 299 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: teams ranked above undefeated teams. Again a very extreme example there, 300 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: but there have been times where we'd have an undefeated 301 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: team from let's say a lower G five conference and 302 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: would have like a three loss team from the SEC 303 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: or maybe even the Big Ten. In certain years. I 304 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: won't hesitate. I don't hesitate at all. I don't rank. 305 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: I don't use power ratings the same way the Playoff 306 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: Committee uses rankings, and I would not if I were 307 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: on the committee. By the way, I would not rank 308 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: for my committee submission teams the exact same way as 309 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: I rank them for the JP pole for my own 310 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: power ratings. My own power ratings are strictly power ratings. 311 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: That's what they are. They are Vegas based. If I 312 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: were doing a playoff committee poll, if I were on 313 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: that committee, I do understand the balance that has to 314 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: go in one hand power, the other hand merit. But 315 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: I ask you this. You know I looked at Texas 316 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: A and M last year, and I know it's unfortunate 317 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: that they just happened to reside in the same division 318 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: as one of the best teams we've ever seen in Alabama, 319 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people were very dismissive 320 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: of them even having conversation of being included in the playoff. 321 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: But the way I always look at that, and I 322 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: think the committee got it right last year. I'm not 323 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: discounting that. But the arguments against Texas A and M, 324 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: I thought, in many cases were invalid arguments because people 325 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: were arguing against the quality of the team, but yet 326 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: all you kept telling me was they couldn't hang with Alabama. 327 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: Well that's great, that's true, but we're not trying to 328 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: crown a top one. We're trying to crown a top four. 329 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is Notre Dame made 330 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: the playoff last year. And I think you and I 331 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: both know even though I thought Notre Dame deserved to 332 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: be and I did not have a problem with it. 333 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: But if I took Notre Dame and gave them Texas 334 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: A and M's schedule, I mean, no one thinks Notre 335 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: Dame's going into Bryan Danny Stateium and winning. Conversely, A 336 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: and M may very well have been undefeated against Notre 337 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: Dame schedule. So that's the whole college football thing. I'm 338 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: not proposing an expanded playoff either. I don't have a 339 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: problem with people being mad at the end of the year. 340 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: It's not the worst thing in the world. I'm saying 341 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: all this in a very very roundabout way to say 342 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: strength of schedule is not always the way it's presented. 343 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: Strength of schedule is not always properly interpreted in the sport, 344 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: and therefore strength of team sometimes is not always properly interpreted. 345 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: So that went fifteen different directions. There's little to no 346 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: chance it made sense. But I said what I said, 347 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: and memoi, I hope you heard every word. Michael Scott 348 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: the office. Meghan is up next. If the AP Top 349 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: five were types of weather, what would they be? I 350 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: told you, Meghan asked this the other night, and I 351 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: wanted to give it its proper respect. I wanted to 352 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: let it marinate, sizzle even a little bit. Well, we've 353 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: had forty eight hours, so right after the ad break, 354 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm dropping this answer on you, and it's sure to 355 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: be a doozy. All right. To recap Meghan's question, if 356 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: the AP top five were types of weather, what would 357 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: they be? Well, first we got to pull up the 358 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: AP top five, So here we go. Number one shocker Alabama. 359 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: Alabama's got to be the heat wave. The thing people 360 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: in the South always say about cold weather, and the 361 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: reason people in the South think they're stronger willed than 362 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: people in the North is because if you're in cold weather, 363 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: you can always put more layers on. But down south, 364 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: like our friends in Ozark, Alabama, they would tell you 365 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: they got a saying in the South for breakfast, they 366 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: ask you if you want it sidewalk side up. They 367 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: want your eggs, you want it sidewalk side up, And 368 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: the entire premise there is about nine am. And later 369 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: on we could just go out and cook these eggs 370 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: on the sidewalk because that's about how hot it gets 371 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: out there. And so they would tell you you can 372 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: put more layers on up there when it's cold, but 373 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: you can't take off more layers and you got on 374 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: down here when it's hot. And so Alabama is the 375 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: heat wave to me because there are things you can 376 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: do when it's freezing, but man, there's only so much 377 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: you can do when it's one hundred and ten degrees. 378 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: There's only so much you can do. And that's kind 379 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: of the way you got to feel when you're playing Alabama. 380 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: There are times where you can do everything in your power, 381 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: and most coaching staffs feel this way when they play them. 382 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: If Alabama shows up with their B plus game or better, 383 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, going in, if you're ninety five percent of 384 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: the sport, there's really nothing much you can do. Everything 385 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: about your game plan to win the game is predicated 386 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: on them screwing up, unless you happen to be one 387 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: of the very very few elites in the college football 388 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: game that could match up and could go athlete for 389 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: athlete roughly with them. So I'm gonna go heat way 390 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: for Alabama. Number two is Oklahoma. This is the easiest 391 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: one to me. A tropical tornado. This is one of 392 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: the most fascinating atmospheric phenomena that happens. So when a 393 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: hurricane makes landfall, it is it's really crazy to think 394 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: about this, and I will nerd out. So if no 395 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: one shuts me up and there's no one in here 396 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: to do it, I may just go on forever. So 397 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: get this. When a hurricane's out over water, like Hurricane 398 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: Ivan is a very famous hurricane in the Southeast back 399 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: in two thousand and four. It maxed out at category 400 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: five strength. I want to say one hundred and sixty 401 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: five one minutes sustained out over the Gulf of Mexico. 402 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: Monster one of the most beautiful satellite images you will 403 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: I ever see unless you're in it, at which point 404 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: it's terrifying. So here's what happens, and this is where 405 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: it ties into Oklahoma. I promise when a hurricanes out 406 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: over water, it's just moving over water, that is, It's fuel. 407 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: Warm water is its fuel. But when it hits land, 408 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: a couple of things happen. Number One, it starts to 409 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: weaken because it loses its fuel source. But do you 410 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: know what else starts to happen. What else starts to 411 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: happen is there's friction because instead of the wind rotating 412 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: over water, the wind is rotating over land. Land creates friction. 413 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: It literally rubs up against it. If you can picture 414 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: your hand rubbing across water and then rubbing across carpet, 415 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: that's about the same effect it has on a hurricane. 416 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: Now you see why it slows down and why it weakens. 417 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: But secondly, what happens is it creates something called winds 418 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: shere and there are all these little spin up tornadoes 419 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: because it's perfect environment for it. So I'm coaching a 420 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: baseball team one year, Hurricane Ivan is coming through Georgia. 421 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: At that point, it's a tropical storm. It's coming through Georgia, 422 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: and we're up there taking a team picture. I may 423 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: have told this story before. It's not raining at the moment, 424 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: just the systems moving through a tornado, spun up out 425 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: of nowhere, run down a hill. One lady lost it. 426 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean she busted it and slid all the way 427 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: down a hill. But it was every man and woman 428 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: for him or herself at that point. Sorry, lady, So 429 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: we get in the dugout except for your boy who 430 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: runs back up the hill after the tornado passes. And 431 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: I just watched it tear up a bunch of fencing 432 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: up at Charles Moultrie Park and Hamilton, Georgia. Shout out, 433 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: And what does that have to do with Oklahoma? That 434 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: is Oklahoma Because the tropical system was moving through, that's strong. 435 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: I mean even a tropical storm that it's moving through, 436 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: it's strong. But the thing about Oklahoma is they've been strong, 437 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: That's what they've been. But what they have the potential 438 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: to be this year is they got the potential to 439 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: tear stuff up. They have elements on this team, within 440 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: this team, like Spencer Rattler. He's not a mystery. We 441 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: know who he is already. We know he's coming, just 442 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: like you know the hurricane's coming. But if you get 443 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: that extra twenty percent or even fifteen percent, if he 444 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: spikes his game, if he ups his game, or if 445 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma defense is ten to fifteen percent more productive, 446 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: well that's the difference in maybe exiting the playoff versus 447 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 1: winning championship. So I think that's what I'm gonna give 448 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: Oklahoma tropical tornado status. The number three team was Clemson. 449 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: I got to apply durracho to them. Deracho's are wild 450 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: and if you're caught up in one, there's no escape. 451 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: You can't go ten miles here, ten miles there. It's 452 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: not like scattered thunderstorms in the South in the middle 453 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: of the summer. Dracho is this long lived. It is 454 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: a very long track. It's just a wall of storms. 455 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: They're rare. They don't happen very often, but when they do, 456 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: it's impressive. They'll start in Iowa, they'll go seventy eighty 457 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: miles an hour. They'll finish the day off the eastern seaboard. 458 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: The point is they'll leave incredible paths of destruction, and 459 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: you'll look at the damage map and you'll say, wow, 460 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you were in Steubenville, Ohio, or Zenia, Ohio. 461 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: You got hit either way. The draicho moved through and 462 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: there was nowhere to be. You remember Clemson back in 463 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Clemson in twenty eighteen when they played Bama, 464 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: that was a Dracho esque performance. Bama was helpless. When 465 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: is the last time we said that before or since? 466 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: Bama was helpless forty four to eighteen, the only title 467 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: game I ever left early. I took the media bus 468 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: the hotel, got a head start on doing my live 469 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: shots over there, packed it up, called it today, flew 470 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: back home. Bama had no shot. With those receivers catching 471 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: the ball like they were, Bama had no shot. And 472 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: so this year, Clemson's got all the length and size 473 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: in the world. The only thing I would question about 474 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: their receiver room that could be wrong about this too. 475 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they don't have it. I'm questioning whether 476 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: they have the top end speed, but they got everything else, 477 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: and they certainly have the ability in any given game 478 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: to really humble your defensive backfield, and any given game, 479 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: whether it's a Saturday in the fall in October, or 480 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: whether it gets into a conference championship or the playoff 481 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: or the national title game, if that version of them 482 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: shows up, it's like the de Rachho. There's nothing you 483 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: can do. I mean, unless you got a really fast car, 484 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: you can keep going the direction it is and hopefully 485 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: you outrun the Durracho otherwise there's not much you can do, 486 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: So give me the de racho for Clemson number four 487 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: team Ohio State. Ohio State is what we call a 488 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: PDS tornado watch in the South. Now, if you're a 489 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: stormchaser like me, it is nirvana. If you're a normal 490 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: human being, like ninety nine percent of you, it's terrifying. 491 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 1: PDS is an acronym. It stands for a particularly dangerous situation. 492 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: It is like one or two percent of total tornado 493 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: warnings issued. They don't give them out lightly. When you 494 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: see a PDS tornado watch issued, what they're essentially telling 495 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: you is all the ingredients are in place, the parameters 496 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: STP is significant tornado parameter, That stuff is maxed out, 497 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: and all the ingredients are in place. But yet, even then, 498 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: there's no guarantee anything's gonna happen. It just all has 499 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: to come together at the right time. And that's Ohio State. 500 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: Look at the receiver room insanity, Look at the quarterback 501 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: room insanity. They got tailbacks out the wazoo. They've got 502 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: the pieces on that team. They got the head coach, 503 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: they got the staff, they got the strength staff, they 504 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: got the recruiting profile. They've got the passionate fan base, 505 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: all of the parameters are in place. Is it gonna happen? 506 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Because that's really what you sit around and wait for. 507 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: When we're chasing down South, we're just sitting around waiting 508 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: Selma Alabama. That's a place we always use to stage. 509 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: So Selma Alabama will sit in Selma and we'll just 510 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: sit there and wait and is it gonna happen? Is 511 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: it not gonna happen? You refreshing the radar you're keeping 512 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: your eye on in WS weather chat, is it gonna happen? 513 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, boom, boom, boom, three 514 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: super cells and the span of twenty minutes just pop 515 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: and it happens. And that could be Ohio State this 516 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: year or any given year. Number five team is the 517 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: University of Georgia. Georgia football is every summer afternoon in 518 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: the South from about June through late September. And that 519 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: is waking up, looking at your phone and seeing there's 520 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: a forty percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms. And anyone who 521 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: grows up in the South understands that means it could 522 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: mean your cousin across town gets an inch and a 523 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: half of rain. And you get sunburned and patche brown 524 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: grass because you're in the middle of a drought. That's 525 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: Georgia football. It's hit and miss. Lately, it's been from 526 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: a championship perspective, obviously far more miss than hit. But 527 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: yet you look around. If you're a gardener in the South, 528 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: you look around and you know there's no way my 529 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: plant should be wilting, because any given day there's rain 530 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: all around me. Like any given day, if you're a 531 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: Georgia fan, any given season, there's talent all around you. 532 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: There are winnable games all around you. You look at 533 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, you've got the lead against Alabama in the 534 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: National title game in overtime. It's right there. It's not 535 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: like it's eluding you. It's not like you're barely going 536 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: five hundred every year. It's right there. Twenty twelve, it's 537 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: right there. Twenty eighteen, back in Atlanta, again, it's right there. 538 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: It's so close. You can see the wall, you can 539 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: see the rain shaft about half a mile away. I 540 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: was driving around Nashville today and I changed my route. 541 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: I was headed over to the airport for something, can't 542 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: tell you what, and I was changing my route because 543 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: even though GPS wanted me to go through downtown to 544 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: get to the airport, I knew I could take four 545 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: to forty because I saw the rain shaft over downtown. 546 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: It's that easy to navigate around the South in the summer. 547 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: But that's Georgia football. They are the forty percent chance 548 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: of scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Now here's the good news. The 549 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: good news is you can outrun those storms. Forever around 550 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: the South you can't and eventually we all know what 551 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 1: it's like when you get caught in one of those downpours. Yeah, 552 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: So is that downpour going to happen or maybe is 553 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: it not a question of if, but rather a question 554 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: of when. That is a segue, by the way, that 555 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: I didn't know we were about to hit. So thank you, 556 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: Meghan for the question. You can tell when you start 557 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: stirring the mind a little bit, it could go anywhere 558 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: on this pod. So I thank you for that. But 559 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: what you don't know, Meghan, is you segued us seamlessly 560 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: into this next question, and it's from shame, he said, 561 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: in light of the breaking Georgia injury news, how often 562 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: do you know things you can't report? And when do 563 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: you decide whether to go public with something. So I 564 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: think most of you saw this yesterday, but if you didn't, 565 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: Darnell Washington and Tyke Smith starting tight end and starting 566 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: defensive back for Georgia, they are going to be out 567 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: multiple weeks. I know the university after I and many 568 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: other people put that out yesterday, the university said they're 569 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: day to day. I'm telling you they're not day to day. 570 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: Unless by day to day you mean they're going to 571 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: wake up every day and every day and every day 572 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: they are not playing against Clemson. I would bet your 573 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: money on it. And so I think it's going to be, 574 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: like I said, three or four weeks. I mean, it's 575 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: not my opinion. I'm getting that from very informed people. 576 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: So that's the status there, and obviously that has a 577 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: big impact on the Clemson game. But Shane said, how 578 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: often do you know stuff you can't report? Pretty regularly, Shane, 579 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: and then his next question was when do you decide 580 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: what you can report? Well, the first thing is I'm 581 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: not a journalist. I'm not a reporter, and I largely 582 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: stay out of that lane. Now, there are times like yesterday, 583 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: for example, where I've got some intel and the source 584 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm getting it from gives me the go ahead to 585 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: put it out. Now, at that point, I'll put it out. 586 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: But oftentimes, even when that happens, if it's not time sensitive, 587 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: if I don't think anyone else is going to have 588 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: the story, I'll hand it off to one of our 589 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: national folks, number one, cause they are reporters and they 590 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: know how to treat that kind of news, and I'll 591 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: react to it once it's out there. But in this case, 592 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: I knew other people were going to have it, so 593 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: I just put it out and then it kind of 594 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: did what it did. But Shane, most of the time, 595 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: I'm not reporting. I didn't report this. Tweeting something is 596 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: not reporting something. Reporting. I mean, that's a job. Being 597 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: a journalist is a job. I'm not one. I don't 598 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: claim to be one. The folks who do it right 599 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: do something that I really don't have the capability of doing. 600 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: It is very admirable. The ones who do that job right, 601 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: it's very admirable. I got a lot of respect for him. 602 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: You would never believe the kind of crap that some 603 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: of those people take and they can't fire back. I'm 604 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: not even talking about news media. I'm talking about sports media. 605 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes you got bad eggs in every basket, but there 606 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: are a ton of good eggs in the sports journalism basket, 607 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: I can assure you. And sometimes they'll report something and 608 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: the university will know it's true, but yet they'll also 609 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: know that reporter is never going to reveal his or 610 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: her source to validate and definitely prove that it's true. 611 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: So we're gonna refute it, and all the while knowing 612 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: the fan base pulls for us. They wear our T shirt, 613 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: they wear our hat, they don't wear a hat of 614 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: that reporter. They're gonna believe us. They're gonna take our 615 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: side of the story, and they'll go trash that reporter, 616 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: and the reporter cannot retaliate, can't retaliate. They just got 617 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: to sit there and take it as this university refutes 618 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: their report that they know was fact checked. It was 619 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: double and triple sourced, and the sources themselves are from 620 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: inside that athletic department. Now that's a little aggravating to watch. 621 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: So I don't have the stomach for that. I would 622 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: lose my job based on my reaction the first time 623 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: someone did that to me. But I will say this, 624 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: what I appreciate. And another layer that makes our show 625 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: pretty unique is you guys would be very surprised when 626 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: I tell you, you'd be surprised at who listens to the show. 627 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: We have a small army of people inside athletic departments 628 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: who listen to our show. Some of you are in 629 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: the administrative side of things. Some of you are coaches, 630 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: some of you are trainers, some of you are on 631 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: the nutrition staff. Some of you are in compliance, some 632 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: of you are in recruiting. A lot of you are 633 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: in graphics and design. I get information from you, guys, 634 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of you I've built up a really 635 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: good rapport with and you know you can trust me. 636 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you've watched the show. I get information every day. 637 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: How often do I ever put it on the show. 638 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: So the only time I do it is when I'm 639 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: given permission to. But I've got a really good rapport 640 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: with several of you, dozens and dozens of you, some 641 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: of whom I converse with every day. But it's your 642 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: way of contributing to the show, and you've come to 643 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: trust me. And for those of you who don't think 644 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: you can spoiler alert, you can. If you want to 645 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: contribute to the show. That's another way to do it. 646 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: If you've got some information, you're not using it or 647 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,479 Speaker 1: given it to me so that I can break it 648 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: on air if you want me to, I will, or 649 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: I'll pass it on to whoever you want me to. 650 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: What I use that for, For instance, when you tell 651 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: me that a listed starting running back is a problem 652 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: guy off the field, and or he's not getting it 653 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: done in practice, or someone is a little bit hampered, 654 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be, a million different things. 655 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm using it to fine tune my commentary. I'm using 656 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: it to fine tune and make what we say on 657 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: air more intelligent and more informed. And so I really 658 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: appreciate that because I can one person. We don't have 659 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: a massive staff with this show, so I can't have 660 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: them all over the country digging for dirt and going 661 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: through trash cans and feeling out sources left and right. 662 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: We can't do that. You guys are the sources. We 663 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: are crowd sourced in every sense of the word. And 664 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: so Shane, that's the way it happens most of the time. 665 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,959 Speaker 1: Is most of the time we got people inside athletic 666 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: departments that will text me or they'll DM me on Twitter. 667 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: That's why I leave the dms open and they'll say, hey, 668 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: got something for you, Uh, don't want you to run 669 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: with it. In this case, today they said go for it. 670 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: It's going to be out soon anyway. But that helps, man, 671 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: That really helps our show, really helps us a lot, 672 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: because there is no better source than a lot of 673 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: people whose names you'll never recognize, but who have very 674 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: very good access to information and trust that someone like 675 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: me at least is not going to abuse it and 676 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: turn it into something that gets them in trouble or 677 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: hampers the university because I would never in a billion 678 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: years do that. And that you have my Scouts on 679 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: or on, even though I've never been in the boy Scouts. 680 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: So I've got to wrap this up here. We had 681 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: what I felt like was about a two hour podcast 682 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: this morning or at night, because I'm recording late at 683 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: night here and we've only gone like thirty one minutes, 684 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: which is crazy. So tonight on Late Kick Live, I 685 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: have not made a final decision on which direction we're 686 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: going with the show, so who knows total Wildcard Show 687 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: could be anything. Strongly advise you tune in also, I 688 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: would greatly appreciate it. If you would give us a 689 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: five star review on this podcast, and if you would 690 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: share it around and tag me when you do, because 691 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: I'll retweet you, I'll put it in the Instagram story. 692 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: The marketing, the marketing, the marketing, it is key every 693 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: time of year, but especially this time of year. Get 694 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: that name out there, and I promise you you will 695 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: not regret the kind of product that we're able to 696 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: produce because of that. So for producer Jordan, I'm Josh bad. 697 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: I really hope you guys have a great Thursday. And 698 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: if you don't have a great Thursday, at least we'll 699 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: be able to wrap it up good because we got 700 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: Late Kick Live coming up tonight. So until then, from 701 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: us to you, have a great rest of your day 702 00:32:53,600 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: and God bless
