1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Let the chaos of the college football season continue. Just

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: when you thought maybe we were getting answers, and only

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: days before the college Football Playoff Committee meets for the

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: first time. So a weekend with tremendous importance not just

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 2: for winning, but for also making an impression, two top

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: ten teams have already fallen. Texas takes down Vanderbilt, SMU

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: takes down Miami, and we continue to be reminded every

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: single week that in the modern college football world, we

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: have no idea. He's buck rising out. Jason fitzbucking fits

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: taken over Fox Sports Saturday. Texas beats Vandy, and I

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: want to stress here, this wasn't a beat. It was

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: a beat down. Don't look at the box score, watch

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: the game. And if you watch the game, in this one,

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 2: Vandy needed an epic, unbelievable, oh my god come back

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter that an on side kick almost

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: got recovered. I was the one person in the world

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: screaming at the television when they had a shot at it.

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: Texas takes down Vandy, and now all of a sudden,

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: those college football playoff dreams look a hell of a

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: lot thinner right now. If you're a Commodores fan, or

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: if you're a fan of The Wild and Unexpected book.

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: Why you gotta do Vanderbilt like that. They had twenty

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: one points in a fourth quarterer.

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 4: Oh way, it was Vanderbilt.

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, when anytime you have a touchdown, a

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: seventy five yard touchdown on the first offensive play of

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: the game to open things up, and then the on

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: the ensuing Vanderbilt possession, you fumble away the ball and

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: put your opponent inside the twenty in the score starts

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 3: to unravel.

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: That way, That's fine.

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: Jason fitz It was for three quarters a beat down

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: and then mighty Vanderbilt rallied back. But I love that

35
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: were I love, love, love love that we are in

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: a place where you are talking about the state of

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: college football and the best conference in college football, the SEC,

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: no matter what ACC people will tell you, and that

39
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: you are opening up the show with the idea that

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: ugh Texas eat Vanderbilt.

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: Showing us that we don't know anything about.

42
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: College football, as if that's not the thing that we

43
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: all thought was the most obvious thing at the start

44
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: of the season, when we saw that Vandy was going

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: to have to go down to Austin.

46
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: Again.

47
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: These things are all requiring context here, and it is

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: unfortunate for Vanderbilt if you've been rooting for the story

49
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: that they were not able to get the job done,

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: because I mean FITZI on their sideline that on sidekick,

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: it goes through the initial Texas player's hands and like

52
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: four or five guys have a chance at it. The guy,

53
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: the Vanderbilt player has his arm around the ball as

54
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: it's going out of bounds, unfortunately not in time enough

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 3: to recover. I'm biased, I'm rooting for Vanderbilt in this situation.

56
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: I'm doing the show here from Nashville, as some of

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 3: the audience may not know listening to us on Fox

58
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. And then the other part of this is Miami.

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: Miami had this thing in control for the vast majority

60
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 3: of the game, much like Texas. But the difference is

61
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: Texas got the job done at the end, was able

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: to hold off even if they allowed a Diego Pavia

63
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: a touchdown run for an explosive play in a sixty

64
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: seven yard receiving touchdown to Eli Stowers, the tight end

65
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: and all these different things.

66
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: Miami, they don't.

67
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: Even they don't even have a place now in the

68
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: ACC Championship game at this point in time, like it is,

69
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: it is becoming messier by the day. And as as

70
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: Ohio State handles business against Penn State and Indiana looks

71
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: like they're very much in control as the number two

72
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: team in the country. We had an interesting Georgia Florida

73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: game going on right now that appears to have just

74
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 3: at least put themselves in a position Florida to tie

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: the game pending the extra point a two yard touchdown

76
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: rush in the Are we still calling at the world's

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: largest outdoor cocktail party? Or did we get away get

78
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: rid of that.

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: Too, it's the world's largest outdoor tailgate.

80
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 5: I don't know.

81
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: Like, so this is like the weird things that we've

82
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: done in college football. We can't call it.

83
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 5: Dad can't cover that.

84
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: And like everything went too far one direction now we're

85
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: going back the opposite direction wildly. So I'm pretty sure

86
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: it'll be called, you know, some level of debauchery again

87
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: with it. Seconds said, you're right, Florida getting the opportunity

88
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: to get to within one. But I think about what

89
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: you were talking about with Texas and Miami. Think about

90
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: this Buck We were stunned today that Arch Manning actually

91
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: put together a decent game, had a couple of balls

92
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: that sailed on him that could have been picked but

93
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: Arts wasn't terrible, and we're like, oh, ars is putting

94
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: it together.

95
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 5: I mean, that's where we are.

96
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: And then Carson Beck throws just a lay mass interception

97
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: in overtime that absolutely cost Miami had the opportunity goes

98
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: just absolutely terrible throw that's picked off. Part of the

99
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: surprise where we are in this season is that at

100
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: this point the margins are so thin at the quarterback position.

101
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: If you have somebody that's supposed to be that guy

102
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: and he doesn't play like that guy, man, things get

103
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: much tougher. This whole season has looked tougher for Texas

104
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 2: because Arch has just been slower to develop. For whatever

105
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: reason we want to put on that Arch hasn't been

106
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: very good. We talked about it on the show Carson

107
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: Beck Is you know, shows shades of Carson Beck. I

108
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: just keep looking at this saying it just proves the

109
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: one thing this year that we could count on is

110
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: it's wild, it's crazy, it's unknown. But the other side

111
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: of it is Buck like I want to oversimplicate and simplify. Here,

112
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: over complicate, oversimplify. We're gonna make it one word.

113
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: Oh I like to oversimplicate, implication, simplicate. It feels like

114
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: it could have a positive and a negative connotation.

115
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, simple, So we're gonna simplicate things. Look, college football

116
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 2: takes care of itself to a fault. Like so often

117
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: we spend the first two months screaming, oh my god,

118
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: what about this team? But what about this? This guy

119
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: has no shot at the playoffs.

120
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 5: I can't believe this.

121
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: And by the end of the year there's been just

122
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 2: enough chaos that the cream rises in college football take

123
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: care of itself. It feels like these are those reminders,

124
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 2: like the teams that don't really belong that everybody spends

125
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: time spent like, look, if Vanderbilt loses again throughout the

126
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: course of the season, they probably didn't belong in this

127
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: conversation anyway, and it'll prove itself out by then, right,

128
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: Like that's in Miami a couple of weeks ago.

129
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 5: Miami. Oh man, they're getting disrespected. There's number one. Why

130
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 5: don't we pay more attention?

131
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: Then you get a little bit further into the season,

132
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: you're like, what do you know, with more tangible proof,

133
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: we kind of know who Miami is right now, and

134
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: Miami really isn't that right, Like, college football takes care

135
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: of itself no matter what happens out of Notre Dame today,

136
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: no matter what happens on Tuesday, when the college football

137
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: Playoff committee meets for the first time, one of the

138
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: big conversations is going to be will Notre Dame get

139
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: into the college football Playoff. The stupidity of that conversation

140
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: sometimes is that it forgets that there are eleven or

141
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: twelve other teams that will impact the destiny of it. Like, frankly,

142
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: the chance is that eleven or twelve other teams that

143
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: could be ahead of Notre Dame in the playoff conversation,

144
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: the chances that those to eleven or twelve teams make

145
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: it through the rest of the season unscathed is virtually

146
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: non existent. So like, part of the reason, yeah, they're

147
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: going to make the playoffs is because eventually everybody ahead

148
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: of them screws up and makes it easy.

149
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 5: Like it just college football takes care of itself.

150
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's fair.

151
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: And that's the thing that makes for example, Vanderbilt and

152
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: Indiana such different stories. Now, Vanderbilt even has a higher

153
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: talent profile than Indiana does, which makes the things that

154
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: Kurt Signetti and Indiana are doing. This has become a

155
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: by the way, an Indiana football show in the middle

156
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: of national the Fox Sports Radio.

157
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: I feel like, over of course the last couple.

158
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: Weeks, because it's shocking that Indiana football is the number

159
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: two team in the country. But today FITZI for the

160
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: three quarters of beat Down, before the twenty one unanswered

161
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: points that Vanderbilt scored, to me, it was just, well, yeah,

162
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: the talent differential evened out. Texas is just a vastly

163
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: more talented football team than Vanderbilt is. You saw the

164
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: things that Diego Pavia, the Vanderbilt quarterback, was trying to

165
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: do against the Texas defensive front that is going to

166
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: be talent loaded for the NFL Draft and one of

167
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: the highest talent profiles of any one singular unit in

168
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 3: all of college football.

169
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: And they ravaged Vandy upfront the way.

170
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: That they should, the way that we expected them to do,

171
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: and that they have done. The offense obviously hasn't done

172
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: its side of the job, or not enough of its

173
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: side of the job throughout the course of the season

174
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: though they've survived. I mean they're seven to two, but

175
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: Arch had three twenty eight what three touchdowns?

176
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: He was twenty five of thirty three today. They had

177
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: a complimentary rushing attack as well.

178
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: So it felt like the best version of Texas that

179
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: we've seen now for back to back weeks, even if

180
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: they were getting their asses kicked for a good period.

181
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: Of that Mississippi State game last week.

182
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: That's the thing that I'm fascinated with about Indiana, for example,

183
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: because like, that's a less talented team than Vanderbilt. You

184
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: look at the JUCO players and transfer portal players and

185
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: JMU players that Kurt Signetti is out here whipping ass with.

186
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: It doesn't make any sense.

187
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: And so I watched that Ohio State Penn State game today,

188
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: and Penn State is going to have double digit picks

189
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: in this year's NFL draft. Again, it's a wildly talented

190
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 3: football team, even though it's fired its coach and it's

191
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: lost its starting quarterback for the remainder of the season.

192
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: At this point in time, and I'm looking at that

193
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: Indiana Penn State game and being like, Yeah, where is

194
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: the moment where Indiana finally stubs its toe because I

195
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 3: just or does it ever happen to make this thing

196
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: the improbable even more so at this point in time.

197
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 3: It's one of the more interesting parts of It's an

198
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: anomaly to what you're saying about the college football season

199
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: evening out, even though we saw them do it last

200
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: year and be a playoff team.

201
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

202
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: But here's the flip side of all of this. We've

203
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: spent all year coming in being like, oh my god,

204
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: it's so crazy. This year so crazy, it's wild. We

205
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. It's insane. We're gonna end

206
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,479
Speaker 2: up with Ohio State versus Alabama for the national championship,

207
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: right like, we're.

208
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 5: Gonna go through all of this. Well, that was fun.

209
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: Gee golly, guys, that was awesome.

210
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna get Ohio State Bama for the championship and

211
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: then people are gonna complain about that.

212
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: Oh I don't know, but I mean, wasn't that the

213
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: point though? When they reconfigured this entire thing? And again

214
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: they've they've they've mangled the the process to get college

215
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: football to the place where they're ultimately trying to get

216
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: it to. But they've at least tricked us in our

217
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: heads FITZI that we don't know what to expect from

218
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 3: the college football season, even if the best programs and

219
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: the programs that we all expect to be in it

220
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: at the end of the day are the teams that

221
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: are still out there competing in the national championship game.

222
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: I have at least convinced myself that in has a

223
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: chance to play for a college football playoff title.

224
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,479
Speaker 4: And even that, guys, knowing that Ohio.

225
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 3: State is just rolling through their competition, they haven't really

226
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: been tested yet, but there's nothing to say that they

227
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't rise to the occasion because they are one of

228
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: the most talented teams, if not the most talented team

229
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: in the country.

230
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 4: Alabama, I think.

231
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: Has a little more is a little more flawed top

232
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: to bottom in terms of where they are gettable and

233
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: how they are beating teams and how they're surviving some

234
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 3: of these games. But still the premise is they've at

235
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: least tricked us into thinking that other teams have a chance.

236
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that, at some level a little bit

237
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: like what we see constantly from the March madness from

238
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament, right, Like we have this concept, oh,

239
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: anybody can win it. But really what we want to

240
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: see are all sorts of upsets in the beginning, and

241
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: then as we get through, maybe a few more cute moments,

242
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: and then we get all the way down to the

243
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: end of this thing. And when we get to the

244
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: end of this thing, we still just want to see

245
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: Duke North Carolina somehow play for a national championship. We

246
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: want to see the biggest brands. We want to see

247
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: the biggest sort of opportunity is Yeah, that's what we

248
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 2: want here. We want Indiana to win some football games.

249
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: But come on, Like, if anybody's been paying attention, I'm

250
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: the one nerd that pays attention to TV ratings.

251
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 5: All the time.

252
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: I love how they're trying to package the World Series

253
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: ratings to tell you how great they are because.

254
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 5: They're including Japan and Canada.

255
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: Like one sixth of Canada as a country watched the

256
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: opening two games of the World Series. But the fact

257
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: is last year, when you had a Dodgers Yankees World

258
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: Series Monday Night Football, the Monday Night Football World Series

259
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: matchup last year actually beat or sorry, the World Series

260
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: beat Monday Night Football last year in the ratings with

261
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: those two teams beat this year, which has been a

262
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 2: classic all time series that we're gonna talk about in

263
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: a minute. It's like the thing that they make Disney

264
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: movies about. God, it's ass Kit on Monday NF. I

265
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: just absolutely molly wopped on Monday Night Football by Patrick Mahomes, right, Like,

266
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: that's just at the end of the day, what college

267
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: football really wants is Indiana to get to the final

268
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: four of the College Football Playoffs where they lose to

269
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: Ohio State and Ohio State gets it like they want

270
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: if that's why I always laughed when people are like, oh,

271
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: ESPN has all this bias with the college football play up.

272
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: Let me be clear to somebody that worked there for

273
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: over six years, if ESPN could wave a wand they

274
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: would get Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and pick an

275
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 2: SEC school other than Texas in that every year, that

276
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: would be their dream, like because those are the ratings

277
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: catchers like that, those are the teams that catch the ratings.

278
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 2: So to your point, yes, like, at the end of

279
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 2: the day, we want everyone convinced Indiana could win it all,

280
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: but then we want, you know, Ohio State to play

281
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,280

Speaker 2: You've seen it all over the helmets. You'll see it

321
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: on the helmets tonight. You'll also see show Hey on

322
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: the mound.

323
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 5: For Game seven.

324
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Buck, you want to talk about just

325
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: I heard him before. I was talking about the fact

326
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: that this is just too much of a movie to

327
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: not play out the right way. But life man a

328
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: Disney movie. Show Hey was not on the mound. He

329
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: was not untouchable the last time he was up there

330
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago.

331
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,239
Speaker 5: Now tonight we get Game seven in Toronto.

332
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: The entire country of Canada will will stop everything to

333
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: pay attention to this. It is going to be a

334
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: wild atmosphere. I don't know, man, Like I've every time

335
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: I've I felt confident about what's going to happen in

336
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: this series, I have just absolutely been wrong. It has

337
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: taken my money and my pride. So I just at

338
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: this point, I'm waving the white flag. I have no

339
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: idea what to expect other than it's going to be

340
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: a classic.

341
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: I so I'm like baseball agnostic during the regular season,

342
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: which I don't think is an unpopular thing to say,

343
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: But I'll drop in during the playoffs and I'll enjoy

344
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: baseball without any level of expectation whatsoever. And obviously I

345
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: know what Shoeo Tani is and how unprecedented he is

346
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: within the concept or within the realm of the history

347
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: of the sport, not just modern day baseball. But it's

348
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: just so it's been so much fun to go in

349
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: with zero expectations.

350
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 4: And I don't want to say it.

351
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: Like completely ignorant of everything that's going on. But to

352
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: experience these series without any kind of preconceived notion about

353
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: what I think should happen or what should happen other

354
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: than I know that the best player in the sport

355
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: plays for the Dodgers. Now, you brought up the idea

356
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: that he was on the mound after the eighteen game,

357
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: where his postgame quote was something to the effect of,

358
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: I just want to get to sleep as soon as

359
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: humanly possible because I have to be back out here

360
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: in seventeen hours. And he went out there and he pitched,

361
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: and he didn't have his best stuff. And I was

362
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: scrolling social media the other day and I came across

363
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: a clip from our colleague Ben Maller, who hosts in

364
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: the Overnights for most of America on Fox Sports Radio.

365
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: It seems never met him personally. I know we feel that.

366
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: Informal person I'm just I'm just a big fan.

367
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 5: I'm a big fan of the Ben Malors show.

368
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 4: Go Ahead. I enjoy it.

369
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 3: And I was listening to him tee off on people

370
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: who were making the excuse for show. Heyo Tani that

371
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: he didn't have his best performance in a World Series

372
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: game on the mound after the eighteen inning game because

373
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: he was tired, And how lame ass of an excuse

374
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: that was because he was tired, Because this is the

375
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: moment when you're supposed to see the best be their best,

376
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: no matter what the circumstances are, and he wasn't. He

377
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: wasn't at his best. Whatever you want to consider the

378
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: extenuating circumstances, that's what it is. He's going to pitch

379
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: again on short rest in Game seven, which comes with

380
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 3: I think a lot of fair questions. But when you

381
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 3: consider how just generally, how would you describe the Dodgers' bullpen.

382
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 4: Unreliable, largish.

383
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably the more extreme version of it. But

384
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: they're trying to find ways to patch over that and

385
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 3: not expose themselves against the Toronto Blue Jays team that

386
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: you know can mash when given the opportunity. So it's

387
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 3: been a lot of fun to watch. I know you

388
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: brought up ratings in the first segment talking about how

389
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: much football in comparison has outweighed this World Series, But

390
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: you know, I almost hate to get caught up in that,

391
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: even though it does matter for our purposes, because we

392
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: want to talk about the thing that the most people

393
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: are watching and if more people are watching football than

394
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: they are this World series, then whatever. But I almost

395
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 3: want to pushback on your earlier point, FITZI, about the brands,

396
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 3: the brands that these leagues or these networks want to

397
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 3: see in the final series or in the college football

398
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: playoff or whatever whatever championship finale, final four type situation

399
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: that you want to talk about, because I do think

400
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: there is something to the idea of just wanting seven games,

401
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: like just to get the opportunity to have seven games

402
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: in a series, no matter what it is. And I

403
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 3: know that we just came off of an NBA Finals

404
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 3: that had the Pacers in the thunder and it was

405
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 3: a very regionalized type thing, And that is the biggest

406
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: point to your credit, against something like the idea that

407
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: brands don't necessarily matter, but the length of the series do.

408
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: I do think that we are getting a little bit

409
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 3: of the best of both worlds here, even if the

410
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 3: numbers do seem to be dwarfed by football.

411
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: All hunred percent. And my point earlier was not to

412
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: minimize this series. I think you're absolutely right. So yeah, well,

413
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: I mean just a little bit. I will say too

414
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: name dropping because that's my favorite thing to do. It's

415
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: my Olympic sport. But buddy, for a long time, JPR

416
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: and Sibbia played for the Blue Chairs And one thing

417
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: he told me that has always stuck with me about

418
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays, like he still goes back. He only

419
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: played there for a few years and he still goes

420
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: through all of Canada to do like annual tours where

421
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: they said former Blue Jays all over the country. One

422
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: thing that he explained to me that I don't think

423
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: I really understood till we started talking, was that when

424
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: you played for the Blue Jays, every single postseason opportunity,

425
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: every single game, it's it's more like the Olympics. The

426
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: entire country of Canada has one team, and it is

427
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: that one team that means everything. So it doesn't matter

428
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: whether you're in Vancouver on the far opposite end, or

429
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: whether you're hanging out in Toronto, like everything.

430
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 5: Stops for the Blue Jays.

431
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: And so I think, to your point, while demonstrating some

432
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 2: of my point with the ratings, it's not lost on

433
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: me how absolutely important this World Series is to the

434
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 2: entire country Canada. Like, let's be honest, if we're gonna

435
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: be real for a second, it's a more magical win

436
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 2: for Blue Jays fans than it ever would be for Dodgers.

437
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: Face.

438
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: Dodgers fans win thatchampionship and immediately they're gonna start complaining

439
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 2: it out. Yeah, well, I don't know, took seven games,

440
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 2: and I gotta see it again next year, and like,

441
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: let's see what happens if this, if this squad can't

442
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: go back to back to back, you know, like it's

443
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: immediately Dodgers fans never really happy, always gonna.

444
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 5: Find something to complain about. Blue Jays fans would.

445
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 2: Be absolutely running through the streets doing naked cartwheels for

446
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: the next decade because they saw the Blue Jays win

447
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: a championship. So like, I gotta be honest, pardon me,

448
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: I don't un American to say it kind of rooting

449
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: for the Blue Jays. Everybody else wants show Ay to

450
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: have this one.

451
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 5: I can't.

452
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: Even one of my good friends, George, like he's having

453
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: a big watch, a geo where everybody wants to go

454
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: to Old Town, the little die bar we're gonna watch.

455
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: We're all rooting for the Dodgers. I'm a lifelong diehard

456
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 2: Jarge Dodgers fan. As of like last October so I've

457
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: almost it's almost a year since you know, and I'm

458
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: all I know is a fan of the Dodgers are

459
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: world series, right, Like, I have an expectation that must

460
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: be met. So look, I want the show Hay ending

461
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: of this. I do think it's important to point out

462
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: it's a Disney storybook ending either way. If Flad gets

463
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: a championship for Toronto, that is by itself its own

464
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 2: Disney movie. If show he gets it for the Dodgers,

465
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: that's even that in and of itself a Disney movie.

466
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 5: It's win win really for all of us.

467
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: Shaye is texting us vigorously right now, calling you basically

468
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: a domestic terrorist for your lack of seeing that the.

469
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 4: Dodgers over.

470
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 3: And say go so far as to say, yeah, you're

471
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 3: a real Dodgers fan, to go so far as to

472
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: say you're lucky. I'm not your producer right now, which

473
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: is the threat that he just sent us wild he is.

474
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 5: My producer here.

475
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: You want to catch my back against Shay here, like,

476
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: can we have a producer and producer beef?

477
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 8: He's he's been wrestling me for the mic and I've

478
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 8: been holding him off back there. He's he's a studio.

479
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: That even though there's a mic, say something with your

480
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: chest one time, shake, don't just text, just don't lurk

481
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 3: in the background.

482
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: He can't. Okay, that's very He can't shaking his head.

483
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 4: He's my microphone.

484
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 8: It's actually tears in his eyes.

485
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: What that do we have? Do we have producer and

486
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: producer beef going on? Like can we grease you guys

487
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: up and get you like for a wrestling.

488
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 5: Match or something?

489
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 4: Or why do we have to grease them up?

490
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: When have you ever seen pro wrestlers not greased up? Okay,

491
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just pointing out the obvious. If you've

492
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: ever watched SmackDown, they're greased.

493
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 5: Up, all right?

494
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: Like you We'll go back and watch Wholkgan. Do you

495
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 2: think that's just natural sweat win? And maybe like you

496
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: think he's.

497
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: Problem. I don't know where this is headed.

498
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 5: All people, you gotta get greased up before you wrestle.

499
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: This is like the rules.

500
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 3: Poor Mary is just sitting a sidecar and all of this.

501
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: Horrified at the way that we've turned our World Series

502
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: and we haven't had a Game seven in a World

503
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 3: Series in six years, and you turned it into greased

506
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 5: I did.

507
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 8: I first flag, first flag.

508
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 5: I have flag? Am I getting flagged for Greek?

509
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 4: I don't.

510
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,840

00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,359

Speaker 4: So greace factor none. But I am.

516
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 9: I am dressed as a college football coach that I'm

517
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 9: going to be debuting in about an hour and a

518
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 9: half on my show. And if Mary didn't blow that whistle,

519
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 9: I was about to blow the whistle around my neck

520
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 9: because somebody was getting flagged.

521
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 4: Somebody had to get flagged.

522
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 9: Off of that now the under nine minutes left in

523
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 9: the fourth quarter, Indiana pounding Maryland forty eight to ten.

524
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 9: He had a chance of fire Locksley in the crowd

525
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 9: as Indiana's outscored Maryland in the second half twenty eight

526
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 9: to seven.

527
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it hasn't been close.

528
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 9: Florida and Georgia, Florida with the ball twenty to seventeen

529
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 9: to score. Georgia is the fifth ranked team in the nation,

530
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 9: but Florida driving the ball obviously off an interim head

531
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 9: coach after Billy Napier was relieved of his services. Florida

532
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 9: got the ball out just under thirteen minutes left in.

533
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: The fourth quarter.

534
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 9: There just under ten minutes left in the fourth quarter

535
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 9: Notre Dame. It's been a struggle kick in the kicking

536
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 9: game for the Fighting Irish, but twenty five to ten

537
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 9: the lead over Boston College a twelve frank Fighting Irish

538
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 9: five and two. Excuse me, Texas Tech with a twenty

539
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 9: nine to twenty lead over Kansas State just under twelve

540
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 9: minutes left. As Fern Mandelman does it, this kid can

541
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 9: play big run for him for Indiana.

542
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 4: Michigan State about.

543
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 9: To get our look, trying to get its first big

544
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 9: ten win forty five seconds left in the fourth quarter,

545
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 9: seven to seventeen to ten over Minnesota. Minnesota does have

546
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 9: the ball though in the red zone. Earlier today we

547
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 9: saw the Texas Longhorns squeak pass Vanderbilt. Vanderbolt had twenty

548
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 9: one unanswered fourth quarter points. Texas gets the win thirty

549
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 9: four to twenty. Let's start thirty four to thirty one.

550
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 9: Ohio State with a thirty eight to fourteen win over

551
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 9: Penn State. SMU upsets tenth ranked in Miami. They now

552
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 9: fall to two and two in the ACC twenty six

553
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 9: to twenty. The final score Louisville with a twenty eight

554
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 9: to sixteen win over Virginia Tech and West Virginia got

555
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 9: its first.

556
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 4: Big twelve win over the year, this.

557
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 9: One courtesy of the twenty second rank Houston Cougar's forty.

00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 4: Five to thirty five. Back to you.

567
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: saying about. It's just the concept of show. Hey didn't

568
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: have his best and I hear that. I understand. But

569
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: my clap back to Ben Mallain'm not trying to create again.

570
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: I've been a fan of Ben show. I'm creating show beef.

571
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 2: I listened to Cant.

572
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: Greased up producer wrestling. Now he wants to get greased

573
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: up and wrestle Ben Mallor.

574
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think I can take that. But look,

575
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: you know, here's number one. I hear Ben saying, Hey,

576
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: you got a couple of your biggest moments. I guess

577
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 2: I would ask Bend this because Ben's on I think

578
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: for four hours tonight. I don't want all four but

579
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: four hours a night overnight. I guess my question to

580
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: Ben is if you had to do eight hours of

581
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: the most intense radio you'd ever done in your entire life,

582
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: and then the next day you had to come in

583
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: and do four more hours of the most intense radio

584
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: you've ever done in your entire life, and that's just radio,

585
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: that's just us sitting like idiots in front of a microphone,

586
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 2: you'd be exhausted. I just think there is a human

587
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: element to eighteen innings and then turning around and having

588
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: to pitch that. I think is a fair and reasonable explanation.

589
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: I'm not big on excuses, but that's a pretty reasonable explanation.

590
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: Do you think show hey tonight wins it all for

591
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: the Dodgers? Like, because look, the method to the Dodgers

592
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: winning is hopefully and if you're a Dodgers fan, by god,

593
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: you're not getting that bullpen, like you hope you don't

594
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: have to get a lot out of your bullpen, so

595
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: you need extra innings out of show hey, right, like

596
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: you need him to be able to go a little

597
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: over five maybe six gloriously, like you need some helpe there.

598
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: Think there's any chance to get that.

599
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 4: So their favor tonight.

600
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: And you know, gambling on baseball is not something that

601
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 3: I do very often, because it's one and a half

602
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: at this point, I feel like I'm leaning Blue Jays.

603
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 4: And I don't really have a.

604
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 3: Not out of want for the Blue Jays to win, because,

605
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: unlike you, I am a proud American And despite the

606
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: Dodgers being one of the most unlikable brands in all

607
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: of sports, USA, USA, USA, Canada will make you the

608
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 3: fifty first state if you don't keep your act together.

609
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 3: But in America's pastime, if it's still America's pastime, I

610
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 3: feel like Canada might have the edge tonight, I think,

611
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: and I you know, I've kind of felt this way

612
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 3: about how Toronto is handled each series leading up to

613
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: the final here and the Dodgers aren't hitting the way

614
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: that you would like them to three runs in the

615
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 3: third inning of Game six, they had three base runners

616
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: the rest of the game. I feel like I trust

617
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: Toronto's pitching more top to bottom. He got Max Scherzer

618
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: opposite show hey o tiny tonight, and obviously you feel

619
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 3: better about what the Blue Jays have behind Sharzer in

620
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: this particular situation.

621
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 4: So I'll go Blue Jays.

622
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 3: I don't know that I necessarily feel great about it,

623
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 3: because watch, after all the analysis I've just given it,

624
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 3: It'll be the complete opposite and the Dodgers will come

625
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: out and shell them eleven to four or something like that,

626
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: like Game one. But still, I just feel like I

627
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 3: trust Toronto more. I'm relying less on individual greatness with Toronto.

628
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 4: Which is a weird thing to say.

629
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 3: I just think that Sho Hay is being asked to

630
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: do an incredible amount here, and he has done an

631
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: incredible amount throughout the course of this to get them,

632
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: help get them to a Game seven.

633
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: But I take the Blue Jays by two runs.

634
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I don't think you're wrong at this point.

635
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 5: Like, look, Mookie Pets.

636
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: Has been by the way it in this series, like

637
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: it has been really bad for Mooki, I know, as

638
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 2: a national legend and just everybody loves Mooki, Like you

639
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: won't find anybody in our business has anything other than

640
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: incredible things to say about Mooki bats it's great.

641
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: He's been bad excess. You just called him a disaster.

642
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: He's been a disaster in this series that has nothing

643
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: to do with the human being, like looking a great

644
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: dude that's also having well, I mean that's true, but

645
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: you know, I'm just calling out the facts. I don't

646
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: think if you sat down one on one with Mookie

647
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: right now and you said how the series go so

648
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: far for you?

649
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 5: I think you'd either get.

650
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: A blank stare or you get it on you get

651
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: an answer you don't really like. You know that feeling

652
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 2: like when you're asking an athlete just how bad has

653
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: it sucked? When they know it sucked and you know

654
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: it sucked, Like that's not a comfortable thing to do.

655
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 5: That's what you'd have to do with Mookie bets right now.

656
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: I just went through that a couple of weeks ago

657
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 3: with Cam War to the Tennessee Titans, with the whole

658
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: we ask diatribe.

659
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 5: So did you ask that question. Did you ask the

660
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 5: question that God is to no?

661
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 4: I did not ask that question.

662
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: He In fact, that press conference started before the rest

663
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: of Titans media had scurried into the press conference because

664
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: it was just a whole convoluted thing in the Houston

665
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 3: Stadium and pisses me off.

666
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 4: I hated it down.

667
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: I just wanted I wanted that to be your moment. Uh, look,

668
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:16,959
Speaker 2: you're taking like here's it really is tough because I

669
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: think what we're all thinking is, well, show Hay's just

670
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: gonna have some way to do it. But if we're

671
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: being real, even look back that eighteen inning game. They

672
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: won that game when show Hay was lights out and

673
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: had one of the best games we've ever seen in

674
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball history, and Freddie Freeman did the unthinkable

675
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: with the second.

676
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 5: Walk off home run in World Series history.

677
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: Also like Freddy Freeman became a modern Mister October in

678
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: the same game where show Hay created a Hall of

679
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: Fame like performance and it took them extra innings to

680
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: win this Like when the Dodgers have won in this series,

681
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 2: it has mostly been because their stars have played absolutely,

682
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: lights out incredible baseball. That's the way they win this game.

683
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: I man, I want to believe that the Stars will starve,

684
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: but I don't know, Like it's just this game being

685
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: in Toronto, and maybe I'm just too blinded and biased

686
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: by what I think that that home field advantage was.

687
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: It was that last night and.

688
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 5: That didn't matter. So you know, the one thing I

689
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 5: will tell you is if you.

690
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: Are a degenerate, whichever side that you think that you're

691
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: gonna bet on, this pretty easy to also slap on

692
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: an MVP that like is if the Dodgers win, showhy

693
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: is going to be the MVP. If the Blue Jays win,

694
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 2: Flat's going to be the MVP. So just get out there.

695
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: Maybe head your bet one way or the other. I

696
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm just saying like, at some point, get

697
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: out there and take a look at the MVP portion

698
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: of it because there'll be some money to made. Also,

699
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: while you're watching the broadcast, don't be sure, don't forget,

700
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: I should say. During the MLB Pro season to take

701
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: a look at Strauss. They made history as the first

Speaker 2: R a U S S dot com, STRAUS dot com

706
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: to get in on all of that action. There's a

707
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: bunch of football going on right now across the college

708
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: football landscap. We'll get you updated on some of the

709
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: scores that are happening. Obviously, there is an upset brewing,

710
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: possibly with the top five team. We'll tell you about

711
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: a next plus gets you updated on the weirdest coaching

712
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: search in maybe sports history.

713
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 5: It's happening right now. Fucking fits on Fox Sports Radio.

714
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

715
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: It's fucking fits on Fox Sports Radio. He's Buck Rising.

716
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: I'm Jason Fitz. We've already had two top ten teams

717
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: fall today as Vanderbilt loses to Texas and Miami loses

718
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: to SMU. SMU just gave a contract extension to their coach.

719
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: You had another coach that will be off the board

720
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: when the hiring cycle starts. Not the only upset that

721
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: could be brewing right now, because what we have as

722
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: we speak, with six minutes to go in the fourth quarter,

723
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: Florida beating number five Georgia twenty to seventeen. Buck, I'm

724
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: not ready for that. I'm not ready for that because

725
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: we all finally know. I mean, guys, like, what are

726
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: we doing, Like we're playing with our food at that point,

727
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: Like we know George is gonna end up in the

728
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 2: college football playoffs. You're just you know, you're gonna have

729
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: to eat the peas eventually. You're just I love peas,

730
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: you have to eat the colorflower eventually because nobody likes colorflower.

731
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: So like you're just moving it around the plate, You're

732
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: trying to find something to wash it all, Like we're

733
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: George is gonna end up in the college football playoffs.

734
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: So this just creates more chaos and weirdness with trying

735
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: to figure out who belongs and who doesn't. Like, you know,

736
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: it's fine, but Florida up twenty to seventeen in the

737
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 2: world's largest cocktail party. So I don't know how we

738
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: are what you in on Florida winning this thing?

739
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I just like weird.

740
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: You know, it just gives us an extra an extra

741
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: thing to talk about, and you know how relevant it

742
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 3: is to the future of.

743
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 4: Florida's program, not at all.

744
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 3: At three and four, they're obviously going to be looking

745
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 3: for a new coach. They're not nearly as weird as

746
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: the LSU situation, which I'm sure we will touch on

747
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: at some point in time.

748
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: But I just I'm curious to say.

749
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: I like seeing teams tested, and Georgia right now is

750
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: being tested.

751
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 4: Now, Oh, it doesn't mean that they can as.

752
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: They get into field goal range at this point in

753
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: time after getting a critical defensive stop because Florida was

754
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 3: going down the field. They had a ten play drive.

755
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: It took about four almost five minutes off the clock,

756
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 3: and Georgia was able to stop that short. Now they're

757
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 3: pushing the ball down the field. Gunner Stockton has been

758
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 3: awesome so far this season, one of the more I

759
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: would say, one of the bigger surprises of the college

760
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 3: football season. If you're talking about Ty Simpson or Gunner

761
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: Stockton's just a Joey Aguilar. And I know I'm making

762
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: it specific to the SEC. I know there's great stories

763
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 3: all over college football everywhere, but that's the conference that

764
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 3: I pay the most amount of attention to. It's the

765
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 3: best conference in college football, so we understand that. And

766
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 3: they're now in field goal range and driving with just

767
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: under five minutes to play in the fourth quarter.

768
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 4: But I'd like these moments.

769
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily rooting for Florida to win, but I

770
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: want to see Georgia pushed that way and to see

771
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 3: the offense that has been prolific for them stymied by

772
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 3: a really genuinely good Florida defense. It has been cool.

773
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: This is the kind of thing that would equip them

774
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: for the college football playoff. As they break, Oh, they're

775
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 3: going to get a touchdown on that run.

776
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: All right, and this is college football just taking care

777
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 2: of itself right in front of our very eyes. They

778
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 2: get that touchdown, they Georgia now takes a twenty three

779
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 2: to twenty lead.

780
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 5: I don't know, I feel like Florida pending extra point.

781
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: By the way, four thirty six to go in the

782
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, I feel like Florida fans got to be

783
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: sitting here saying what might depend though, Like it's just

784
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 2: got to be frustrating when you see your team competitive

785
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: with the number five team in the country and you've

786
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: been so bad that you've already fired your coach. It's

787
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: just it speaks to something speaking of coaching firing. And

788
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 2: we'll keep you updated on what happens in this game.

789
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: Reminder that Florida no longer has a permanent head football coach.

790
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: Penn State has also fired their coach, and LSU joined

791
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 2: into the firing of their coach. In fact, after that,

792
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: LSU has since gone on to fire their athletic director

793
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: as well. What becomes wildly interesting is that LSU is

794
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: a state funded school and as a result, the governor

795
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 2: of LSU has started speaking on exactly what's gone down,

796
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: how it's gone down, and what he thinks they should

797
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: be doing about it. This is a little of what

798
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: he had to say in a much longer press conference

799
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: about what's going to happen at LSU. Check it out.

800
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 10: We are not going down a failed path. And I

801
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 10: wanted to tell you something. This is a pattern. The

802
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 10: guy that's heared out at road that contract cost Texas

803
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 10: A and M seventy something million dollars. Right now, we

804
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 10: got a fifty three million dollar liability. We are not

805
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 10: doing that again. I can tell you right now. Is

806
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 10: not selecting an extra coach.

807
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 2: Hell, I'll let Donald Trump select it before I let

808
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: him do it.

809
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 10: I don't know, but the Border super is going to

810
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 10: come up with a committee and they're going to go

811
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 10: find us a coach.

812
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: My misspeak, I said, Governor of LSU is obviously the

813
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: governor of Louisiana.

814
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 5: I want to point out he mentioned.

815
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: There that that Woodward was responsible for the buy out. Also,

816
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 2: you know at Texas A and M, that is not

817
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 2: actually factually accurate. I don't want to I don't want

818
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 2: to pog the governor down with details. But while Scott

819
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: did give the Jimbo the original contract, it was another

820
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: ad after Scott left, they gave Jimbo the larger extension

821
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: that did result in the larger So like Fatch matter,

822
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 2: and he's factually incorrect.

823
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 5: On this, But Book, I mean, this is when you.

824
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 2: Get the government involved in your head coaching search, things

825
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: get really complicated really quickly.

826
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: Well, and your colleague Ross Dellinger, who was on that

827
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: beat for a long time. By the way, I've been

828
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 3: trying to actively avoid saying the governor of LSU on

829
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 3: the local show here in Nashville all week long. I've

830
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 3: almost slipped. I've almost done it. I think twenty times

831
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 3: since this story broke. But Ross Dellinger, your colleague at

832
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 3: Yahoo docyah sports dot Yahoo dot com, rather has a

833
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 3: really great piece up thoroughly reported as Ross always does,

834
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 3: and he obviously has huge connections down there because he

835
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 3: was a former beat writer on the LSU Beat. But

836
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: the circumstance for this is made even more interesting because

837
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 3: it is Is it currently I mean, there are a

838
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: handful of jobs open right now.

839
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 4: Is it currently the best job available?

840
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 2: Yes?

841
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt.

842
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 3: Will it continue to be the best job available pending

843
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: some different things that may come open. We don't know

844
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 3: for sure who's staying and who's going. I don't know

845
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: what's going to happen with Dabbo at Clemson.

846
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 4: For example. I'd be surprised if he ended up out,

847
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 4: But I.

848
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 3: Don't know what a better job job thing I would agree,

849
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: so that this is it's the best job that figures

850
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: to be on the market. It's got the governor of

851
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 3: the state involved with some correct facts, some factually inaccurate stuff.

852
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: As you pointed out, he was also on a bit

853
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 3: of a diatribe. The whole two and a half minute

854
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 3: clip is excellent, by the way, I would ten out

855
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 3: of ten recommend anybody who hasn't heard it to go

856
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 3: seek it out because it's just funny. It's just objectively

857
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: hilarious to listen to this man talking to one sports

858
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 3: reporter in attendance, confused as to why there's only one

859
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: sports reporter in attendance.

860
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 4: He's saying, yeah, there should be.

861
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 3: More of you here, and going on to say that

862
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 3: the athletic director, who's no longer the athletic director would

863
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 3: not get to get to make the decision on this,

864
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 3: but they're gonna let the interim.

865
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 4: May D make the call.

866
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: FITZI on the next head coach, which screams to a

867
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: level of dysfunction. We would call it in the NFL

868
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 3: if this was the case for an NFL team, and

869
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: Miami is something that I'm sure we're going to talk

870
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 3: about at some point. I wonder how much that makes,

871
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 3: For example, Lane Kiffin look around and say, well, it's

872
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 3: a highly pressurized job anyway, And I was already thinking

873
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 3: about what I like about my life and what would

874
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: I like it at LSU versus Oxford, Mississippi and Ole

875
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: miss And you add all these additional components to it.

876
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 3: You got to find somebody who's up to the task.

877
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 3: And clearly Woodward got caught up in the Brian Kelly

878
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: of it all. It's a star name, it's a successful

879
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 3: coach from a highly touted, name brand program, and it

880
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 3: just was never going to make sense to have that

881
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: dude in Baton Rouge. But I wonder if this doesn't

882
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 3: make somebody like Lane Kiffin, for example, think twice or

883
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 3: at least reconsider what he may be jumping for.

884
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, because one thing that the governor pointed

885
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: out is he thinks that the agents he did incorrectly

886
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: state that one agent, they different agents involved in this

887
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 2: are all essentially criminals in the way that they built

888
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 2: these contracts. He made it clear that they want to

889
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: build contracts that are different. He made it clear that

890
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 2: the state of Louisiana doesn't want to do business the

891
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: same way, which fine. I respect that. Everybody that always

892
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: tells me, hey, my city should not pay a billionaire

893
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: for a stadium, My answer to that is, you are

894
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 2: absolutely corrected. If you want to die on that hill,

895
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: totally great. It only takes one city that's willing to

896
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: do that, right, so your team will just leave.

897
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 5: That's fine.

898
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: If you don't want to pay guarantee contract to coaches,

899
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: I think you're right. If you think the structure is

900
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: completely asinine, I think you're right. I don't know how

901
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 2: you change the market, and it sounds like the governor's intent,

902
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 2: especially knowing fifty three million dollars of state funds could

903
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: be necessary for this buyout. He's looking at it saying,

904
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: we won't do this again. That's why I think it

905
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 2: could change the future of the entire coaching care sol.

906
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: We'll tell you more about it coming up next on

907
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz.

908
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: Made no Fox Sports Radio Radio.

909
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 2: Another Saturday of bucking fits, which means another Saturday, a

910
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: big games coming down to the wire, Florida trailing by

911
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: four against Georgia with just over three minutes to go

912
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter in what's shaping up to be

913
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: an electric finish.

914
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 5: He's Buck Rising.

915
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: I'm Jason Fitz, hanging out with you as we will

916
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: for the next hour. We'll keep you updated on every

917
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 2: ounce of what's happening there from a coaching standpoint. Also,

918
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: Game seven of the World Series tonight. Cannot wait for that.

919
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: Gonna be absolutely incredible. But Buck, we were just talking

920
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: about the LSU coaching search, and I know a lot

921
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 2: of people are sitting here saying, well, why should I

922
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: care about the LSU coaching search if I'm not an

923
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 2: LSU fan. I want to talk for a second about

924
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 2: one of my favorite words to use in all the world, precedent.

925
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: And to me, precedent is important because anytime somebody does

926
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: something once, will everybody pay attention to it and try

927
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: and do it again. You have to be careful about

928
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: setting precedent. You have to be careful about precedent.

929
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 5: That has been set.

930
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 2: When a governor of Louisiana comes out and talks about

931
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 2: the fact that he finds it unacceptable that the taxpayers

932
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: are on the hook for fifty three million dollars in

933
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: a buyout for Brian Kelly, and then he talks about

934
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: the fact that they're going to make sure that they're

935
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: not in that situation again. It's very easy to imply

936
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: from that, as many have that that means that they're

937
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: going to structure their contracts differently, That that means they're

938
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: going to try and find a way to protect themselves

939
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: from a coach that may not be as successful now.

940
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 2: Number one, that might limit the coaching pool. And what

941
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: we've seen over the last few last week, we've seen

942
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: several big names get contract extensions where they are names

943
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: that we expected might be in consideration for other jobs,

944
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: resigning to stay where they are. Lastly, it's a SMU.

945
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 2: We saw that Matt Ruhle at Nebraska, We've seen that

946
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: with Signetti at Indiana. Across the board, we see guys

947
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 2: getting paid to stay where they are.

948
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 5: But I also keep thinking, instead of just talking.

949
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: About the pool of candidates for this job, one thing

950
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 2: we have to talk about is, Okay, if LSU arguably

951
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 2: the most desirable job right now in the country, Right

952
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: if LSU turns around and finds a coach that is

953
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: willing to take a contract that's done differently than everybody else,

954
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: does that set precedent? What's going to happen because now

955
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 2: every other especially state funded schools like gets harder with

956
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 2: the private school. Vandy does whatever Vandy wants, right Like,

957
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 2: if you're a private school, if you're smut, you can

958
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 2: do whatever the hell you want to.

959
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 5: Nobody's there to tell you how you can do things.

960
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: If you are a publicly funded school, where at the

961
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 2: end of the day, taxpayer dollars are part of this

962
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: entire equation, and all of these publicly funded schools start

963
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 2: looking around, I think this is really the governor's attempt

964
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: to try and get a national precedent set. But I

965
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 2: wonder if the future of coaching contracts in college football

966
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: could be changing in front of our very eyes.

967
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 3: It's possible. I guess it just depends on each specific situation.

968
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 3: So in this specific situation, we're talking about Jeff Landry,

969
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 3: who's the governor of Louisiana using this as an opportunity.

970
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: Did you read the story that I mentioned earlier on

971
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 3: Yahoo Sports by Elanger. Yeah, So he's referencing a couple

972
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 3: of different things, and in particular where Jeff Landry, the

973
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 3: conservative governor of Louisiana, had a falling out with Scott Woodward,

974
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: the former athletic director, over things beyond just football and

975
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 3: the expenses of football and all these different things. And

976
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: it's a very again well reported story Sports dot Yahoo

977
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 3: dot com that Delager goes into on some of the

978
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 3: deep seated issues that have caused them to move this

979
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 3: in a certain direction and essentially use LSU football as

980
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 3: a political tool. Now without getting into all the implications

981
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 3: of that, do you trust the parties involved here to

982
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 3: be the one setting the precedent, because now we have

983
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 3: the Louisiana state governor dealing with a situation where there's

984
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 3: a board of directors and an interim athletic director at

985
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 3: Louisiana or at Louisiana State that is going to make

986
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 3: the decision on the next head coach. Why would you

987
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 3: put a situation in place where you've got an interim

988
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 3: athletic director who may end up getting the job. I

989
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 3: suppose we don't know the veracity or the veracity is

990
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 3: the wrong word, the profile of this interim guy, and

991
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 3: whether he actually has a chance to be the guy.

992
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 4: And I bet he ends up at.

993
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 3: Least giving himself a strong percentage chance of keeping the

994
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 3: job if he does what Jeff Landry wants him to do, right.

995
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: So it becomes a little bit of a political and

996
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 3: these a lot of these, a lot of these organizations,

997
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 3: whether it be the NFL or college football or you know,

998
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 3: just sports at the highest levels, do have a degree

999
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: of politics in him, certainly inner office politics. But this

1000
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 3: is a different kind of leverage that Jeff Landry is

1001
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 3: trying to impose. But Jeff Landry, did you see some

1002
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 3: of the other comments beyond the press conference that went viral.

1003
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 3: Did you see the phone interview that he gave recently

1004
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 3: where he's talking about getting back to the Bowl Championship Series,

1005
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,479
Speaker 3: The BCS. The BCS has been gone for a long

1006
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: long time. Jeff Landry is the governor of a state,

1007
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 3: like he's got a lot of different things on his

1008
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 3: plate beyond just worrying about LSU football. But you can't

1009
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 3: have somebody who's not totally informed on all of the

1010
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 3: facts being the one to set precedent, to be the

1011
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 3: one to push this thing forward, because then you open

1012
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 3: up a whole different can of worms, and it's going

1013
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: to be specific to the individual the state that this

1014
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 3: is happening in the public institution that you're talking about.

1015
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 3: So I don't think it's as wide ranging as we

1016
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 3: may feel that it could be. It does have the potential,

1017
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 3: and it's almost like a different version of you've seen

1018
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 3: the situation with the Colts owner Carly Ers.

1019
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 4: Gordon or Gordon Ers, I can't remember exactly Gordon Er say.

1020
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 3: And she's taken this thing over from her father, and

1021
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,479
Speaker 3: she's trying to be as informed about her decision making

1022
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: as humanly possible, and so she wears a headset on

1023
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 3: the sidelines during games and obviously is being informed of

1024
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 3: all the different things that the team is doing on

1025
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 3: a granular level on it day by day basis. But

1026
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 3: she's sitting there with a headset on and she's taking notes.

1027
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 3: She's taking notes the whole time. She's saying, I don't

1028
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 3: know what I don't know, but I'm here to learn

1029
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 3: to make a more informed decision. And I would recommend

1030
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: I'm paraphrasing here, but essentially said she said when she

1031
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 3: first started doing this, I would recommend that everybody in

1032
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 3: a situation who's in a position to pay a coach

1033
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 3: tens of millions of dollars avoids or at least tries

1034
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 3: to avoid a potentially very very expensive mistake by doing

1035
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 3: the same thing, doing your due diligence here and making

1036
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: sure that you're in a position to succeed. Now, it's

1037
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 3: easy to be Carl Ursay Gordon or Gordon Nursey when

1038
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: you're seven and one and it's more than just a

1039
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 3: novelty and you're not getting eyes rolled at you anymore

1040
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 3: because oh, maybe they're onto something, when of course the

1041
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 3: Colts aren't seven to one because she's on the sideline

1042
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: taking notes, But it does make them seem like a

1043
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 3: more stable organization, a well, a more well oiled machine.

1044
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 3: I don't trust the State of Louisiana to be anywhere

1045
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 3: near this.

1046
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 2: If I'm LSU, it's Carli Ersa Gordon, I double check that.

1047
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 5: And the great thing about it is you're right. I

1048
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 5: love it.

1049
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: It's become a phenomenon. Everyone's talking about the fact that

1050
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 2: she's wearing the headset and they're like, all owners should

1051
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 2: do this. My only question of that is if we

1052
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: turned on the Cowboys game so and Jerry Jones was

1053
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 2: wearing a headset taking notes. If we turned on the

1054
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: Jets game and Woody Johnson on Sunday was wearing the

1055
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 2: headset taking notes, would we feel like that?

1056
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 5: If we turned on the Raiders game and Mark Davis.

1057
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 2: Is walking up to Pete Carroll afterwards with a headset on,

1058
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 2: we feeling good about that? So, like, it is funny

1059
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: how perception matters a lot here now, I want to

1060
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 2: be clear for anyone listening that wants to have any

1061
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: conversation about politics themselves in LSU, as buck Well knows,

1062
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: I don't care about your politics, and by your I

1063
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 2: mean all y'all. I don't care about my politics. I

1064
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 2: don't care about bucks politics. I don't care about you listening.

1065
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 2: I don't care. I am the world's biggest nihilist. When

1066
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: it comes to all of this, none of us makes

1067
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: the difference. And I don't really give a damn about

1068
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 2: any of your politics. Now that I've said that, I

1069
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 2: agree with everything you said that. Certainly the governor in

1070
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: many instances seems ill informed, but president only has to

1071
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 2: come in the form of one.

1072
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 5: When it comes to a contract.

1073
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 2: The one thing that he will have some control over,

1074
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,959
Speaker 2: it appears, is what's the next contract look like. Now,

1075
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 2: certainly if he goes to a condent candidate, if he

1076
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: goes to Lane Kiffid and says, great, we want to

1077
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 2: sign him, We're gonna fully guarantee your contract unless this happens,

1078
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 2: this happens, this happens, or this happens, in which case

1079
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 2: we're gonna choose to We're gonna make it all incentively,

1080
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 2: and you win a national championship, you get a fifty

1081
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 2: million dollar bonus. But if you don't, you get nothing

1082
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 2: like great. He can do that all day long. The

1083
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 2: top candidates now are all paid so wildly that there

1084
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 2: is not a financial incentive to going to LSU versus

1085
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: coaching at Indiana. I want you to hear that you

1086
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 2: do not make more money anymore as a head coach

1087
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 2: of LSU than you would if you were the head

1088
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 2: coach at Indiana. So I think what the governor may

1089
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 2: not be aware of is when he goes swimming in

1090
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 2: those waters and saying, yeah, but we're LSU.

1091
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 5: It's like cool.

1092
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you want to pay me thirteen million

1093
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 2: while I'm already making eleven and a half. So you

1094
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 2: want to pay me a million and a half more,

1095
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: but you want to make it incentive based. You want

1096
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 2: to make me have to go through all of these hoops,

1097
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 2: turn and kindly, respectfully No.

1098
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 5: And that's the part of the right.

1099
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 2: Right, So are they going to end up getting a

1100
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 2: lesser candidate or when the rubber meets the road, do

1101
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 2: they just bend and do what everybody else does, or

1102
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 2: do they find somebody that is a reasonable candidate, that

1103
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 2: is a good candidate, that takes some wildly incentive based

1104
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: contract and then does that change. That's where I think

1105
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 2: it gets interesting. Puff, But you are right, most of

1106
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: his concepts are wildly like this is the problem when

1107
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 2: you get with somebody caf Cherry Jones that's in the room,

1108
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 2: Caft Cherry Jones, Woody Johnson, that may not be fully

1109
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 2: informed on the way everything's working, and they just think

1110
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 2: that they know everything. That's where things get difficult.

1111
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 4: I still can't wrap.

1112
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 3: My head around the idea that Indiana University is paying

1113
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 3: ninety three million dollars to a coach and it's not

1114
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 3: a basketball coach. To your point, like, this is the

1115
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 3: market for what college If you want to be excellent

1116
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 3: at college football, that is the literal cost of excellence.

1117
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 3: And I wonder if Jeff Landry's not not playing a

1118
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 3: dangerous game here because if you are a political figure and.

1119
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 4: You have an electorate.

1120
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 3: Again not to get into the necessarily the actual politics

1121
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 3: of it, but let's just, you know, take this for

1122
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 3: what it is. If you start to meddle in something

1123
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 3: that your entire state, Republican, Democrat, anybody in between believes

1124
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 3: in fiercely loves more than anything else in the world,

1125
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 3: which is Louisiana State University football, and you start to

1126
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 3: meddle with that, and then all of a sudden, you

1127
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 3: start to become a liability.

1128
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,959
Speaker 4: You're not going to be the governor of Louisiana very long.

1129
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 3: Like I don't I'm not saying that sports should have

1130
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 3: the ability to impact political decisions that way, but damned

1131
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 3: if it won't color people's decision on who they're voting

1132
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 3: for the next time he comes.

1133
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 4: Up on the ballot.

1134
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,479
Speaker 3: I am so curious to see what happens here, because

1135
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 3: I mean, in my lifetime Fitsie, I can't and I'm

1136
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 3: you know, I'm thirty two years old.

1137
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 4: I wouldn't.

1138
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 3: I wouldn't pretend to know everything in the world of

1139
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 3: sports and the history of sports.

1140
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 2: What thank you?

1141
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 4: You are you getting up there?

1142
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: Up there? Gang?

1143
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 4: Chill out?

1144
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 8: Mary, aarp is at your door.

1145
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 2: Well, I just want to point out, based on the

1146
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: time of my life I started doing the Hibby dibity, uh,

1147
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 2: Buck could definitely definitely be my cut, my kid, Like,

1148
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 2: I just want to point.

1149
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 5: That out, like that Buck is definitely young enough to

1150
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 5: be my son.

1151
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 3: She's right though. I got a fade the other day

1152
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 3: when I went to get my hair cut, and like,

1153
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 3: I'm getting enough grays in my sideburns that you can

1154
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 3: still tell I'm going gray when I get my hair faded.

1155
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 3: It's tough to It's what I'm saying, Mary, I'm not

1156
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 3: ready for the.

1157
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 5: Gray in the Do you not see the grain in

1158
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 5: your beard? Like I see the grain?

1159
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 3: Okay, I know all right, this is not about me,

1160
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 3: back off about Jeff Landry.

1161
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 4: This is unacceptable, a serious thing here.

1162
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 2: Mary has found the weakness, She has found my vanity.

1163
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 3: It's the only thing I care about me me. I

1164
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 3: don't even want to talk about this anymore.

1165
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 4: No, I don't. I don't care to find me.

1166
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 3: It's my fine system anyway, Mary George on the.

1167
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 4: Florida if you're still paying attention.

1168
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 2: It's just it's just mean. Does Buck suddenly sound like

1169
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 2: a really angry old man? He is, Like he's going

1170
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 2: full into grumpy old man on this, Like and you

1171
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 2: want you want to talk about the kids being up

1172
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 2: too late and make it too much noise during the.

1173
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 4: Hot to read or something? Didn't you have something to do?

1174
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 4: What you do your job? One time?

1175
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:49,120

1191
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: one thing. Grandpa Buck's favorite song from when he was

1192
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 2: in high school? Is this a hit? When Grandpa was

1193
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 2: in high school? Buck Big for you? Were you dancing?

1194
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 2: We did this one? Buck Rising, Jason Fitz, Fox Sports

Speaker 2: Radio out there like Bucks striking.

1196
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 4: I am so upset that would for a dance.

1197
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's when you were still courting women, not

1198
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 3: dating women or Yeah, to ask permission to go have

1199
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 3: a dance as opposed to, you know, any other any

1200
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 3: other advancement of the relationship.

1201
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 4: This is garbage.

1202
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to do it right now. No, I'm

1203
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 2: not make feel like you're back in the speakeasy the

1204
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: old nation, like the actual speaks, not the trendy ones

1205
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 2: you go to now, but the actual speakeasy.

1206
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 4: I do actually go to speakeasy that's.

1207
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 2: So I'm bringing up there the minute, Yeah, because it

1208
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 2: makes him feel like he's back home, right, like you

1209
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: think al Capone's going to come in and help you out.

1210
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 3: I just want to talk about college football, and the

1211
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 3: three of you are insistent upon annoying me.

1212
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 4: Like I know that's the better version of me.

1213
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 3: And if we got to sacrifice my well being for

1214
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 3: the sake of the shell, then fine, I don't want.

1215
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 4: To do this.

1216
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 2: He is a particularly crotchety old buck rising. I'm Jason

1217
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 2: Fitz's bucking fits. That is that is fair. Look when

1218
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 2: he's not applying Bengay relentlessly all over himself because he's

1219
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: so sore, he checks out the Major Baseball postseason while

1220
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 2: you're watching the postseason. Strauss Made History is the first

1221
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: brand ever on the helmets. Looks so awesome work where

1222
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: build to perform, smart pocket design, real comfort, durability, from

1223
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 2: grit to glory. Gere up today it's Strauss dot com

1224
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 2: s t R a u S S dot Com. I

1225
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 2: smile every time I see it on the helmets because

1226
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 2: I know we talk about it all the time.

1227
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 5: I love it all right. Georgia just got the win

1228
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 5: over Florida.

1229
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 2: So one of the top ten teams that has been

1230
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 2: tinkering with the possibility of an upset has avoided that.

1231
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 1: Today.

1232
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 2: We did have two upsets as Vanderbilt fell and Miami

1233
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 2: fell so far today. So that's where we are in

1234
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 2: the world of college football chaos. But also tomorrow is

1235
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 2: an interesting day in the NFL book, and it's an

1236
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 2: interesting day, particularly for one Minnesota Vikings. And I'll tell

1237
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 2: you it's interesting to me because now we know that

1238
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz has gone. By the way, the next time

1239
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 2: somebody comes in with the wild theory about an athlete injury,

1240
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 2: just tell him to go to Helen.

1241
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 4: Shut up.

1242
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 2: Like the number of times I heard people say, oh, well,

1243
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 2: it's truly a soft pinching for JJ, and they're doing

1244
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 2: all these like no, not like when Lamar Jackson has

1245
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 2: hurt a couple of years ago, and clearly he was

1246
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 2: in the middle of a contract. People were sitting there saying, oh, well,

1247
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 2: you know he doesn't want to come back in because

1248
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't want.

1249
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 5: To risk the contract.

1250
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 2: And you would talk to actual people that know injuries

1251
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 2: and they'd say, no, this is pretty staggering stuff. He's

1252
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 2: got to come back from. Well, Carson Wentz. There were

1253
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 2: plenty of people that had things to say, even about

1254
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: Carson on Thursday Night Football when he was getting banged around,

1255
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden we find out that

1256
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 2: that shoulder is jacked, surgery gone for the year. Sunday

1257
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,439
Speaker 2: we get JJ for the first time on the field,

1258
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 2: and JJ has played, I mean for the first time

1259
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 2: of weeks. He's played six quarters, six quarters in his

1260
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 2: entire NFL career so far, J J McCarthy hasn't made

1261
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 2: it through two games. So I just I hear Vikings

1262
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:42,919
Speaker 2: fans and they yell at me every time I bring

1263
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 2: this up, because when I say Sam Darnold, they say, oh,

1264
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 2: what's it matter? If you're just gonna throw interceptions and

1265
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 2: lose us a game in the playoffs, we don't need

1266
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 2: you as our quarterback.

1267
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 5: You know what's worse than throwing picks in the playoffs

1268
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 5: at the end.

1269
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: Of a fourteen and three season, not going to the

1270
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 2: playoffs at all, Like the Viking season is teetering on

1271
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 2: the edge of the disaster. We have no idea if

1272
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy's actually good, could be could be buck, But

1273
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 2: I don't feel confident right now that I could sit

1274
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 2: here and bet your house on JJ McCarthy turning around

1275
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 2: and being something like, who knows.

1276
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 4: Uh, you don't get do you?

1277
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 3: You lose the rights to betting the palatial rising estate

1278
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 3: on anything at this point in time because of your

1279
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 3: constant prattering about how old I am?

1280
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 4: I think a very long.

1281
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 2: Sorry, I mean you open that door. Do I have

1282
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 2: to take the the like the extra railings off, like

1283
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 2: the thing that you sit on to get up the stairs?

1284
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 2: So I have to take that off? Or do I

1285
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 2: leave that on for the next person?

1286
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 3: One of those called I actually wanted to Yeah, like

1287
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 3: they do the infommercials. It's not a StairMaster. That's like

1288
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 3: a workout machine. Is that even what they're called. I

1289
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 3: have no idea called that.

1290
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 8: But you know you can't access that. You need a

1291
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 8: kind of lob.

1292
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 4: Mindy was hurting a little bit today, of course.

1293
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: It was it was it was it humidity outside or

1294
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 2: just just a little arthritis setting in. What do we

1295
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 2: got when we got a little fluid there near drained?

1296
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 2: We got to get this show back on the rims.

1297
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 2: It's just hard because it's owing. This not me.

1298
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 3: I'm trying to talk about the Vikings quarterback.

1299
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 2: Situation not in my bad all right? You know who's

1300
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 2: not old JJ McCarthy. What's what's what are we expecting

1301
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 2: from JJ this weekend?

1302
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 4: I'll bleep off. I.

1303
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 3: I think that the situation for him is much like me,

1304
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 3: My knees hurt, His knees hurt. He is not available

1305
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 3: to your point about how little he's played like he's not.

1306
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 3: We're not going to be able to determine if he

1307
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 3: improves or if he is capable of improvement. Here fitsie

1308
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 3: and if the Vikings gamble on letting Sam Darnold walk

1309
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 3: for big money and free agency and not the biggest money, right,

1310
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 3: he didn't get one of these fifty five sixty million

1311
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 3: dollar contracts from Seattle. But by the way, who looks

1312
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 3: smart as hell for picking up that Sam Darnold situation

1313
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 3: Seattle looks excellent, is probably, but they are going to

1314
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 3: push the Rams for that division, a division that's highly

1315
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 3: competitive with the Niners, who have no business trying to

1316
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 3: get in that trying to continue to compete that way

1317
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 3: given the rash of injuries that they have. But Sam

1318
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 3: Darnold is killing it in Seattle and they got him

1319
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 3: for what is essentially a quarterback bargain. Minnesota gambled by

1320
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 3: letting Sam Darnold walk after winning fifteen games with him

1321
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 3: last season. I understand his limitations. I saw them. We

1322
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 3: all saw them in the playoff loss to the Rams

1323
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 3: and in the decisive Week eighteen game for the division

1324
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 3: where Detroit just mugged him and ended up winning the

1325
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 3: NFC North last season because Darnald looked mortal when he

1326
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 3: didn't have a plus protection or even a minus protection.

1327
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy hasn't been able to stay on the field,

1328
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 3: and he came in with an injury in his rookie season,

1329
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 3: or he experienced that injury in his rookie season.

1330
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 4: That cost him the entirety of it.

1331
01:00:58,080 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 3: Now he's the second year player that, to your point,

1332
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 3: has only played six quarters. We've got a lot of

1333
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 3: questions about him and about what Minnesota can be. But

1334
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 3: as they sit here looking up at the rest of

1335
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 3: their division, then trying to figure out if Chicago, if

1336
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 3: what they're doing is sustainable, Green Bay looks like they

1337
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 3: might be onto something as they start to iron out

1338
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 3: some of the inconsistencies that they have on offense. I'm

1339
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 3: having a hard time determining what McCarthy might be able

1340
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 3: to do because I just don't trust him to be

1341
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 3: able to be out there, and I know these injuries

1342
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 3: haven't been connected. Like I hate the phrase injury prone

1343
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 3: because it applies or it implies that these are things

1344
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 3: that are connected and it's somehow the player's fault, and

1345
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 3: if you have a torn acl and then a high

1346
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 3: ankle sprain after that, that those things are even remotely

1347
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 3: close to the same thing, they're not at all. And

1348
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 3: this is something that JJ McCarthy's going to have to

1349
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 3: battle through.

1350
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 4: At least the perception of it. But you are.

1351
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell's the coach of the year the GM in Minnesota,

1352
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 3: and I don't want to disrespect him by but during

1353
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 3: the pronunciation of his name. I'm sure it's much more

1354
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 3: routine than I want to make it. But it scares

1355
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 3: me every time I look at it, and I feel

1356
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 3: like I slowed down like a speed bump in front

1357
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 3: of me every time I try to say it. So

1358
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 3: I think that they all have a tremendous amount riding

1359
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 3: on the success.

1360
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 4: The instantaneous success.

1361
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 3: Of JJ McCarthy and the fact that it hasn't gone

1362
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 3: exactly to plan, is going to have a lot of people,

1363
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 3: including Vikings ownership, looking around and being like, do we

1364
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 3: trust these guys to make good decisions? Do they actually

1365
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 3: have the quarterback magic that we thought they did when

1366
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 3: they were able to turn Sam Darnold into a fifteen

1367
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 3: win quarterback last year.

1368
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 2: Quessiadolfo Mensa is the GM of the Minnesota Vikings, and

1369
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 2: you're right, it always looks very weird. Look you said

1370
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 2: something important there, and I think it's what makes the

1371
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 2: Vikings hard to figure out. To me, anybody that tells

1372
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 2: you they know what the Vikings are going to be,

1373
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 2: including Vikings fans of Vikings haters, are full of it,

1374
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 2: because how can we know. I covered a lot of

1375
01:02:56,120 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 2: college football for that National Championship run, was at the

1376
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: National Championship came actually spent some pretty extended time with

1377
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 2: JJ over the course of that week.

1378
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 5: Leading up to the game.

1379
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody can look at the body of

1380
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 2: work in college and say, yep, I get exactly how

1381
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 2: that's going to translate, which is why the day he

1382
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 2: was drafted, I was like, well, I think maybe we'll

1383
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 2: see none of those answers are different, and now you

1384
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 2: have I think maybe we'll see After only six quarters

1385
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 2: in well over a year of football, and you have

1386
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 2: I think maybe we'll see on a team that won

1387
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 2: fourteen games last year. And I don't disagree with everybody

1388
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 2: when they sit there and say Sam Donald wasn't good

1389
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 2: enough at the end. But the thing for me is,

1390
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 2: when you win fourteen games, you're in a window. If

1391
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 2: you're in a window where you can legitimately win a

1392
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, then you keep everything in that house that

1393
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 2: you possibly can. If you have any way to keep

1394
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 2: Donald in there, it protects you. It protects you in

1395
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 2: case JJ isn't going to be that guy. Now, maybe

1396
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 2: Sam wouldn't have wanted to do that, Maybe you don't

1397
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 2: want to disrupt your plan. But right now today, not

1398
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 2: a single person who is worried about the fact that

1399
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 2: Jordan Love didn't get on the field in the beginning

1400
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 2: is his career in Green Bay. Not a single person.

1401
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 2: And if I'm Minnesota, I would have taken that same trajectory.

1402
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 2: I would have looked at JJ and said, hey, we're

1403
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: head of schedule here, so all this is gonna do

1404
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 2: is gonna make you a better pro. Eventually, We're gonna

1405
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 2: take our time with you because we want to get

1406
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 2: you right, But we're in a super Bowl window right now,

1407
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 2: and we're not gonna risk that super Bowl window that way.

1408
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 2: If Sam Donald falls off into your tea two, okay, fine,

1409
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 2: then you just hand the rains over to JJ. And

1410
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 2: if JJ suddenly turns out out plays them out the

1411
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 2: course the whole time, fine, you hand the rains over

1412
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 2: to JJ.

1413
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 5: But the worst case scenario could also be Sam Donald goes.

1414
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 2: Out there and wins you a lot of games, just

1415
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 2: like Aaron Rodgers did, and you have to wait a

1416
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 2: couple of years until you make that transition, just like

1417
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 2: the Packers did with Jordan Love, which, by the way,

1418
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 2: is the reason that feels right now. If you're a

1419
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 2: Packers fan, you are a fan of a team that

1420
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 2: today would be the number one seed in the NFC.

1421
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 5: The playoffs today would run through Lambo.

1422
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 2: Let's get Martin's thoughts on what's coming up, what's going

1423
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 2: on right now across the landscape.

1424
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 5: Martin, get us updated on the scores.

1425
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 9: My friend, we got old miss, seventh rank team in

1426
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 9: the nation right now, trailing South Carolina with under four

1427
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 9: minutes left in the first quarterknocking on the door though

1428
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 9: of the end zone, third and goal six minutes left

1429
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 9: in the first quarter per Dwe and Michigan tied scoreless

1430
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 9: per Due with the third and seven at the Michigan

1431
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 9: nineteen yard line.

1432
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 4: Arizona and Colorado.

1433
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 9: It's Arnie Spaniard tweeting, what do I decide to watch

1434
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 9: the day? Arizona at Colorado? Our Game seven? Tough decision?

1435
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 9: Well the fighting. The Spaniards are up ten to nothing

1436
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 9: on Colorado under eight minutes left in the first quarter.

1437
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 9: Earlier today we saw Indiana route Maryland. You know I

1438
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 9: saw this just come down Maryland since firing head coach

1439
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 9: Ralph frig and ACC the ACC Coach of the Year

1440
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 9: in December twenty ten, Maryland's home record after Halloween scary

1441
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 9: oh and twenty four against teams not named Rutgers.

1442
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 4: So there you go. Thanks for joining the Big ten Rutgers.

1443
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 9: Maryland enjoys you guys coming every holiday season.

1444
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 4: Florida, Georgia and Florida.

1445
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 9: The biggest world's largest outdoor cocktail party goes to the Bulldogs.

1446
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 9: After Florida really blew it and Gunnerstockon blew the cover

1447
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 9: twenty four to twenty for the fifth rank Georgia Bulldogs.

1448
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 9: They remain with just one loss in the SEC. Florida

1449
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 9: drops a three and five, Notre Dame beats Boston College

1450
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 9: twenty five to ten, Texas Tech over Kansas State, and

1451
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,439
Speaker 9: also we had wins for Ohio State with a thirty

1452
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 9: eight to fourteen win over Penn State. Texas hong On

1453
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 9: after giving up twenty one on answers in the fourth quarter,

1454
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 9: the Vanderbilt thirty four to thirty one, the twentieth rank

1455
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,919
Speaker 9: Longhorns hanging there. SMU beats Miami in overtime twenty six

1456
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 9: to twenty. Wins for Virginia for Louisville and Virginia, and

1457
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 9: West Virginia gives Houston their second loss of the year,

1458
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 9: but West Virginia's first win in conference play, and talk

1459
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 9: about things that haven't happened in a long time. Duke

1460
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 9: beat Clemson today, which if and normally, if Clemson was

1461
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 9: having a standard season, that would be shocking. But this

1462
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 9: year the Clemson everybody beats Clemson. Duke wins at Clemson

1463
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 9: for the first time in forty.

1464
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 4: Five years for six to forty five.

1465
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, that's stunning. I mean, we're sitting

1466
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 2: here right now with the Clemson team that was supposed

1467
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 2: to have a top quarterback in the eyes of some

1468
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 2: coming into this season, and a Clemson team that was

1469
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 2: regarded highly regarded coming into the season by some loses

1470
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 2: today Buck they're three and five. Like there's a world

1471
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 2: where Clemson doesn't even get to a bowl game this year.

1472
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 2: Like I know that. You know, it's it's gotten contentious

1473
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 2: considering the way that everybody Dabo has talked to, everybody

1474
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 2: who has anything to say to Dabbo. But man, I

1475
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 2: just this that's stunning to me.

1476
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 3: I mentioned that I wasn't sure if it was even

1477
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 3: worth talking about because again, it's a one point loss today.

1478
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 3: But they are three and five, and Dabo is I

1479
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 3: don't know, is it fair to describe him spiraling every

1480
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 3: time he gets in front of media at this point.

1481
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 3: It's just it feels like things are starting to fray there.

1482
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 3: And he has brought this up before in that third

1483
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 3: teen minute rant to a question that was completely unrelated

1484
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 3: to Dabo's resume that he went on a diatribe about

1485
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 3: a couple of months ago. At this point in time,

1486
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 3: early at the start of the season, he's only fifty five.

1487
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 3: It would make sense if you're cleansing to move in

1488
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:20,440
Speaker 3: another direction because whatever magic was there in a previous

1489
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 3: version of collegiate athletics, a pre transfer portal, a pre name,

1490
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 3: image and likeness. Where Dabo is and listen, it's not

1491
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 3: a shot at Christianity or anything like that. When he's

1492
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 3: saying we're built in Christ's name, image and likeness as

1493
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 3: opposed to talking about the money of it. It's a

1494
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 3: cute turn of phrase. And I get what he's trying

1495
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 3: to do there. And I'm not saying that there's nothing

1496
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 3: there's anything wrong with being rooted in your faith, but

1497
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 3: like from a practical standpoint, you got to be in

1498
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,600
Speaker 3: this at the highest level. You've got to be in

1499
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 3: this at the granular level. And things have been bad.

1500
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,799
Speaker 3: He's done a bad job adapting. He's from a different

1501
01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 3: generation of this sport. And while they have been incredibly

1502
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 3: accomplished under Dabo Sweeney, I don't know that Clemson doesn't.

1503
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 4: Look to make a move.

1504
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 3: The question is, though FITSI As we talked about with

1505
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 3: LSU going through their own coaching search as the best

1506
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 3: coaching spot or the best program, the best available job

1507
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 3: of the cycle. Penn State is also involved in this

1508
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 3: as well. We'll see how many others Oklahoma State fired

1509
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,799
Speaker 3: Mike Gundhy after so many years there. What does Clemson

1510
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 3: want to be in the landscape. Do they want to

1511
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 3: just ride it out for one more season with Dabo

1512
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 3: and find out if this season wasn't an anomaly? Or

1513
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 3: do they want to make a change here and try

1514
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 3: and put their program out there in a way and

1515
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 3: be like, no, guys, I swear we can do all

1516
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 3: the things that all these other power for programs can do.

1517
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,919
Speaker 4: We just have a coach that's unwilling to change.

1518
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 2: Mother of God, if there's ever been a year to

1519
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 2: hold onto your coach, it's this one. I'm like, please, y'all.

1520
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm begging you to think this through. Every

1521
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 2: single school, I am begging you to think this through,

1522
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, what everybody keeps

1523
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 2: seeming to forget somehow, some way. Is it? Like when

1524
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 2: I talked to Stephen Gottfrey, who works with Yahoo Sports.

1525
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 2: We talked to him on Yahoo Sports Daily last week

1526
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 2: and he said, some people in college football are estimating

1527
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 2: this is not a misspeak. There will be as many

1528
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 2: as forty coaching openings in college football this year. Forty

1529
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 2: head coaching societies. Penn State has not done a single

1530
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 2: thing publicly in any way, shape or form since they

1531
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,759
Speaker 2: fired James Franklin without doing anything other than just staying

1532
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 2: the course. Nothing is changed to Penn State. They've already

1533
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 2: become at best, in the eyes of many, the third

1534
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 2: best available job. Think about that, like if Clemson fires Dabble,

1535
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 2: what are they going to be the fifth? The sixth?

1536
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 4: Like?

1537
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 2: Look, but Florida State fans are so frustrated with Mike Gorvell.

1538
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 5: Great cool, go fire him? Who you hiring? Who you hiring?

1539
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 2: Because most of the time, what everybody wants to do

1540
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 2: is just take a coach from somewhere else. But as

1541
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 2: I mentioned, SMU gets an extension with their coach, Nebraska

1542
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 2: gets an extension with their coach. Coaches that may or

1543
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 2: may not actually be where like what Matt Rule has

1544
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 2: done in Nebraska's deserved more time and more money.

1545
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 4: I'm not under sent.

1546
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,839
Speaker 2: Sure, although the extension doesn't necessarily according to some reports,

1547
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:19,560
Speaker 2: include a lot of extra money still a contract extension.

1548
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. And Kurt Signetti is the great white

1549
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 2: whale for everybody. He gets incredible money. And Indiana, like

1550
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 2: everybody's thought is well Lane kiv Lane's gotta come here.

1551
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 2: Lane's gonna come coach here. He's already one of the

1552
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 2: top paid coaches in all of college football. And as

1553
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 2: I have repeated until I'm blew in the face, we

1554
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 2: were on air when Lane KIFVN a couple of weeks ago,

1555
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 2: lost the game he shouldn't have lost. And you know

1556
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 2: what happened to him that night? He went to dinner,

1557
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 2: went to dinner with his family, and he had a

1558
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 2: fine night. Do you think he went to bed that

1559
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 2: night thinking, oh God, am I getting fired tomorrow? Because

1560
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 2: if he loses the same game and he's the coach

1561
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: of LSU, or is the coach of Penn State, or

1562
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 2: is the coach of Florida, there're gonna be people calling,

1563
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 2: oh man, he can't win in that he doesn't know

1564
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 2: how to win the big game.

1565
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 5: He's fired, like go and fired.

1566
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 2: There are Ohio State fans that still want Ryan Day

1567
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,559
Speaker 2: to be fired if he can't beat Michigan this year.

1568
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 5: They are the defending national champions.

1569
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 2: And I do a weekly hit with the station in Dayton,

1570
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 2: and the number of times they talked about, well, no,

1571
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 2: people here just aren't happy it hasn't beaten Michigan, who cares.

1572
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 2: And this is where every said, if you don't get it,

1573
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 2: you don't understand the importance of the game.

1574
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:23,840
Speaker 5: I do get it. I do get it.

1575
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 2: They raise banners for national champions if college football has changed.

1576
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to hear it, but it's real. So if

1577
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 2: you're a coach and you're already making close to ten

1578
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 2: million dollars a year, and you know that the equity

1579
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 2: is going to be pretty similar anywhere you go, and

1580
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 2: you know that boosters will provide private jets to get

1581
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 2: anybody from anywhere to anywhere for your recruits, and you

1582
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 2: know that most of these kids you bring it in

1583
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:47,719
Speaker 2: are speaking from knowledge here are getting first class tickets

1584
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 2: for their family to fly in and out of the

1585
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 2: airport every single week. So where you are doesn't matter.

1586
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 2: The hot better recruiting doesn't really matter, And the only

1587
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 2: thing that matters is how much nil money do you

1588
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 2: have to spend. That's the only thing that couldn't make

1589
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 2: a difference. But if you can have the quality of

1590
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 2: life and lose some games, like Lane Kiffen could lose

1591
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 2: two or three games this season for the rest of

1592
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 2: his life in Old miss and never have to worry

1593
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 2: about it, if he's coming back the next year, if

1594
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 2: he does the exact same thing at LSU, you're a

1595
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 2: fire him. So like, no, Clemson shouldn't fire Dabo, and

1596
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 2: Dabbo shouldn't want to go anywhere. They should just sit

1597
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 2: there miserably like my parents didn't. Just not like each

1598
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 2: other and stay in the room together.

1599
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 3: Come on, grow off, do what the real adults do.

1600
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 3: Suppress your feelings.

1601
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 2: Cut it out angrily, just argue in front of the children.

1602
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 5: That's the healthy thing to do.

1603
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 2: Working through some things apparently clearly so.

1604
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 3: They're home for Florida State. They're at number sixteen Louisville.

1605
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 3: They've got a cupcake against Furman before rivalry week at

1606
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 3: South Carolina, who's not, you know, covering themselves in glory.

1607
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 3: But they are driving up seven to three on Ole

1608
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 3: Miss right now in Oxford. Speaking of Lane Kiffin in games,

1609
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,799
Speaker 3: that he might drop the seven and one Ole Miss

1610
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 3: football team right now at a point where a nice

1611
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 3: play on defense there to get a stop, and I

1612
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 3: think South Carolina's going to happen. Pretty sure. That was

1613
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 3: third down. I think South Carolina's gonna have to punt here.

1614
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 3: But just something to keep an eye on. I don't

1615
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 3: know if Dabo wins more than the Furman Game at

1616
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 3: the end of the year, because Florida State's got its

1617
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 3: own problems. But it's not like Clemson is doing anything

1618
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 3: at a higher level right now. And if they go

1619
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 3: one for three in their final four down the stretch

1620
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 3: here FITSI and they end up a four win football

1621
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 3: program under Dabo Sweeney, I don't know if you can

1622
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 3: allow him to stay. No matter how you feel about this. Again,

1623
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 3: the buyout matters here. And it's like you mentioned with

1624
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,719
Speaker 3: Mike Norvell at Florida State, Like, is it really worth

1625
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 3: eating the buyout money to fire these coaches when you're

1626
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 3: going to be the fourth, the fifth, the sixth best

1627
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 3: job on the market when we finally get into the

1628
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 3: coaching carousel type of stuff. It's not a problem that

1629
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 3: I would wish on any college football program. Lucky for me,

1630
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:55,879
Speaker 3: I've got Kurt Signetti.

1631
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 2: You know what, Lucky for all of us, we got

1632
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,160

1638
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, guys, Like the football program at Clemson is

1639
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 2: like a it's a six and Da dados a nine.

1640
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 2: So like, even when you're frustrated with the nine, you

1641
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 2: better realize if you go back to the market, you're

1642
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 2: still a six out on the dating market.

Speaker 7: No?

1661
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 8: No, you guys did it?

1662
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 1: Did it?

1663
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1664
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 4: Wow?

1665
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 8: That guys credit where credits d That was probably the

1666
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 8: best one you've done since ahead of him.

1667
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 3: I went a little ahead of him because you guys

1668
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 3: keep telling me on him on the life.

1669
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 8: And then do that every time because it worked it

1670
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 8: Hurd was yeah, full unison. But all right, let's get

1671
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 8: to some would you rather let's go ahead and spin

1672
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 8: our wheel?

1673
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 2: Okay?

1674
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 8: So would you always? Would you rather always find a

1675
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 8: perfectly ripe avocado? I guess we can also say apple,

1676
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 8: or you know, whatever fruit most applies to you, or

1677
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 8: always pour exactly the right amount of cereal cereal to

1678
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 8: milk ratio every time.

1679
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I think I'm gonna go.

1680
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 3: So if we're just making it, you know, generally fruit

1681
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 3: or vegetables, I don't think anything hits harder than like

1682
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 3: a fruit or vegetable that is that peak ripeness, like

1683
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 3: whether it's crispy, whether it's the texture that you're looking for,

1684
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 3: Because there's nothing worse than when you like, bite into

1685
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 3: an apple that's been sitting out for too long and

1686
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 3: it's a little bit soggy, it's a little bit granular,

1687
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 3: it's not what you want, right, So.

1688
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 2: I anyway, that's fair. It's better on the tees come

1689
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 2: out when you know that's better on your You know what,

1690
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 2: this cowl on bulk rising his face. You keep making

1691
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 2: that face, and that's what it's gonna look like when

1692
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 2: you're even older. But I'm with Buck on this one.

1693
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 4: By the way, too much botox in my face for

1694
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 4: any of that.

1695
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 2: There's there's no wrong cereal to milk ratio. I can

1696
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 2: make all of it work. So I need the avocado.

1697
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 4: I hate you Mary, all right.

1698
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 8: Would you rather have a fridge that quietly judges your

1699
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 8: late night snacks or a microwave that cheers for you

1700
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,480
Speaker 8: every time you reheat leftovers?

1701
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 2: Well, look, you know I'm hmmm, I want to I

1702
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 2: want the quiet judgment. I want the quiet judgment.

1703
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 5: They'll keep me on tracking. Yeah, there you go, keeps

1704
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 5: me honest.

1705
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Plus, by the time I get the late night sacks,

1706
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 2: I'm usually a little paranoid and like really high. So

1707
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 2: I figured that by the time you can bind those

1708
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,839
Speaker 2: two things, I'll be convinced that the refrigerator is actually

1709
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 2: loudly judging me, and that will help keep me on track.

1710
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:19,600
Speaker 2: I'm over that.

1711
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 3: I want the microwave that cheers for me when I

1712
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 3: reheat leftovers because I'm trying to cut down on the

1713
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 3: amount of times I order out on a regular basis

1714
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 3: or just ordered wings.

1715
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 2: You just ordered wings to be delivered to you like

1716
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 2: right now as we speak, during the last breaks.

1717
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 8: That's why he needs the microwave. Then, right.

1718
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 3: Before I was so rudely interrupted. Yeah, you're correct, but

1719
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 3: that he didn't let me get that far. I was

1720
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 3: gonna make that point that I am as we speak,

1721
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 3: ordering wings so I can go home and watch the

1722
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 3: balls game, Go balls.

1723
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 4: Go ahead.

1724
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 5: He's crouchy, angry elf self.

1725
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 3: People, you can't call me an elf if you're two

1726
01:18:58,920 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 3: foot shorter than me.

1727
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 4: That's not how that works.

1728
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 2: I'm not two feet shorter than you. Go ahead, all right?

1729
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 8: Would you rather your phone auto correct everything?

1730
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 4: Hobbit run around at her?

1731
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 2: Five nine? Go ahead?

1732
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 5: Would you rather go ahead?

1733
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 8: Would around on you?

1734
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 5: You don't like that?

1735
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 2: I'm sufficiently average, Thank you very much. I've been told

1736
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 2: go ahead.

1737
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 8: I'll say by your mom.

1738
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 2: Well not no, not really no. I don't want to.

1739
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 8: Get fired at your family history.

1740
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 2: No, no, no.

1741
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 5: The answer I wanted to give was no by your mom.

1742
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 5: But I think that that was probably a little aggressive.

1743
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 3: But nobody playing me like that.

1744
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 8: All right, we spun the wheel a long time ago,

1745
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 8: so let me finally read this. Would you rather your

1748
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 8: and an emoji with a blushing smiley face.

1749
01:19:57,960 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 3: I don't want people who aren't my friends to think

1750

Speaker 3: they're my friend. I'll go with the he he even

Speaker 3: though it bothers me.

Speaker 2: Oh, I would go with the he heat because I

1753
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:06,360

01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 2: actually think that I was saying it. Most of my

Speaker 8: Like?

1760
