1
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to look into the future, the future, the future,

2
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: and that's okay. We've still got a few months till

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: the actual season starts. But since there is no off season,

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: it would be hypocritical of me to deny you a

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: look into the future. It is the Late Kick Extra Podcast.

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: It is probably Tuesday morning, or at the very least

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: sometime Tuesday or Wednesday, the year of Our Lord, twenty

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: twenty three, that's April fourth, And this is the Late

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: Kick Extra Pod where all we do is dive into

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: the mail bag. At late Kick Josh Instagram, at late

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: Kick Josh Twitter, you can hit me up college football,

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: et cetera, and we'll answer it pretty much no matter

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: what it is. I waste no time as I am

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: probably on the road storm chasing while you listen to this.

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: So let's dive in to this mail bag. And there

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: is a lot of variety, a very very diverse mail

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: bag we have for you today. Thomas hit me up

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: and said, if you could pick a Week four game

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: to go to right now, which one would you pick? Okay,

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: So for those of you who just don't have the

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: schedule memorized, that's me. We got Ohio State at Notre

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Dame that week. Thomas, I'm taking your word for that.

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: We've got Florida State at Clemson that week, and Thomas,

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: I know that's the case, and we've got Ole Miss

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: at Alabama. I don't think much of anyone is gonna

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: pick Ole Miss at Alabama just right now, unless you're

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: a Rebels fan or a Bama fan. You're just not

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: picking that game over the other two. So I think

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: we need to narrow this down to FSU Clemson possible

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: game of the year in the ACC, probable game of

31
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: the year in the ACC. And also we can narrow

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: it down to Ohio State at Notre Dame. Or remember,

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: even though the Irish fell in that one last year,

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: which was earlier in the year, I think it was

35
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: Week one, it was a close game. Notre Dame led

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: late in the second half before Ohio State finally pulled away.

37
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: And just by the way, if you're listening on pods

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: some other notables, you do have Iowa at Penn State

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: that day. You've got Colorado at Oregon, so you could

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: call that Dion at Oregon. U see LA's at Utah

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: that day. Texas is at Baylor. Really good. Week four

42
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: slate of games. Plus, as we all know, if we eat, sleep,

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and breathe this thing can we call college football? There

44
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: are going to be matchups that aren't even on your

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: radar right now that all of a sudden end up

46
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: vying for a Game of the Week candidacy come week four.

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't really know what my answer here is. I

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: beat around the bush that long to tell you, I

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: don't really know what my answer here is. I am

50
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: about fifty five percent leaning towards Florida State. Clemson, the last,

51
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: the last big I'm trying to make sure this is right.

52
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: I think the last big ACC game I went to

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: was a Clemson Florida State game. It was down and dope.

54
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: It was in twenty fifteen or sixteen, and it was

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: a classic thirty five to thirty one final. I think

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: Clemson won the game. This could be This could be

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: a coronation of sorts, not as a championship situation, not

58
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: as a playoff situation, but a re emergence situation, because

59
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: point blank, no one's taken Florida State seriously on the

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: national scene until they beat Clemson. They'll take them seriously

61
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: as being a pretty good team. They're not taking and

62
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm serious as a national contender until they beat Clemson.

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: That's the way it should be. That it's fair that

64
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: way because we don't haven't expanded playoff yet, so you're

65
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to back your way in in

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: all likelihood unless you go through the top dog in

67
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: the conference. And that top dog's been on top for

68
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: a long time because people like Florida State and Miami

69
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: and the like haven't stepped up. Well, you can't do

70
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: anything about the past, but you can control the hero

71
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: and now. And I'm basically trying to promote the game

72
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: right now, convince myself. But having said that, if you

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: were to tell me Ohio State and Notre Dame both

74
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: undefeated when they play, you know my affinity for South Bend.

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: You know my affinity for the history of this sport.

76
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: You know that I'm try and view everything within the

77
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: lens of cinematography. You know, I picture myself in a

78
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: movie in a lot of cases when I go to

79
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: these places, because it's the closest that your boy will

80
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: ever come to being on a movie set. I mean, sure,

81
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: I make Outer Bangs, but that's just a Netflix series,

82
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: you know. So we're talking about a full blown movie

83
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: set here, and I love Notre Dame Stadium. I've only

84
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: been there once, it was the Georgia game in twenty seven.

85
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Team love it, and I would love to see this game.

86
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: I really hate that they don't let me, as future

87
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: college football commissioner, control the scheduling apparatus yet, because if

88
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: they did, I would divide these games up a little

89
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: bit more evenly and we would never have any down weeks.

90
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: I don't think that exists anyway, but some more casual

91
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: minded amongst us would suggest that they do. But we

92
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't have down weeks, and we would, however, not have

93
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: weeks where seven of the biggest games in the season

94
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: all happen simultaneously. So I think I'm gonna go by

95
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: the slimmest of margins to start the season with FSU Clemson.

96
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: But you could really really easily talk me off of that.

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: We've got a loaded mail bag. As I said, We're

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: in no rush though, because well we don't have time

99
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: constraints here. There's no heart in or hard out. It

100
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: just it's at our leisure. So I appreciate you guys

101
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: and girls being tuned in. I say that intentionally because

102
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: as you know, our female demographic continues to grow and

103
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: grow and grow, and we're very happy about that. Ladies

104
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: of Pate State stand up. David hit us up and said,

105
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: if you could take one college football player past or present,

106
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: stormchasing with you, who would it be and why. You

107
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: may think this is a difficult question. You may think

108
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: that I had to wreck my brain. This was so easy.

109
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: This took me two nano seconds. Tony Brown, former defensive

110
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: back at the University of Alabama, was a pure psychopath.

111
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: I say that in the best of ways. Tony Brown

112
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: comes out of Beaumont, Texas, five star defensive back and

113
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: he commits to Alabama, and it is so nice and

114
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: neat and pleasant, and he's mild mannered and he's well spoken,

115
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: and he's so buttoned down. And then he got to Alabama.

116
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they did, but whatever they did

117
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: brought something out in Tony Brown that wasn't there when

118
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: he was on that screen committing out of Beaumont, Texas.

119
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that I was around Alabama a

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: lot because I was working in local news and we

121
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: covered Auburn, Georgia and Alabama the most. And they go

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: to the playoff one year. This is a true story.

123
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: They go to the playoff one year and they beat Clemson.

124
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: They were playing Clemson every year. They played Clemson every year.

125
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: Tony Brown was at Alabama never in the regular season.

126
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: So anyway, they beat Clemson. And this is the year

127
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: after Clemson had beaten them in the National Championship Game.

128
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: So it's twenty seventeen, it's the Sugar Bowl. It's I

129
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: think it was a semi final. I think I have

130
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: my date right there. And so Bama versus Clemson. Bama

131
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: takes care of Clemson pretty handily. And that was the

132
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: infamous Tony Brown postgame interview where he's just screaming nonsense.

133
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: But in the midst of a bunch of jumbled up

134
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: alleged words, you get Tony Brown telling you, I appreciate

135
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Dabos twenty for lying about us last year. I appreciate

136
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro for lying about us last year. He lied

137
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: on us. And then the investigation started, and the investigation was,

138
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: that's a harsh allegation. What did they say? What did

139
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: lie about? And so people went to digging around the internet,

140
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: and people went to digging around past statements because you know,

141
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: normally when these guys talk. It's very high profile, it's

142
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: very on the record. No one could find anything. No

143
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: one could People asked Hunter Ren for a point blank Hey,

144
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: what lie did you tell about Tony Brown? He said,

145
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, I have no idea. He almost just

146
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: washed his hands of it. And Daboswenny, I'm not really

147
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: sure if he answered that question one way or the other.

148
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: But here's what was happening. What was happening is you

149
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: just picture the Alabama team bus, and you picture Nick

150
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Saban choosing one guy to sit next to, and he

151
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: just he just slides in there and positions himself next

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: to Tony Brown, and I just picture, I just picture

153
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: them next to each other, and Sabin is in silence,

154
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: he's looking over his notes, but just every few minutes

155
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: he just leans over and I can't believe what they

156
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: said about you, And that's it, and just he just

157
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: lets it stew Daboswenny, the audacity. Who is Hunter Renfro

158
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: No one ever heard from him. Fifteen minutes ago. Now

159
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: he's talking about how he's better than you. It worked

160
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: on Tony Brown, it worked, and so Tony Brown, you

161
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: put him in like a high leverage pressure situation. You

162
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: have had it told to you that pressure can build

163
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: diamonds or it can burst pipes, but there's a third option.

164
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Tony Brown is the third option of what pressure can

165
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: do to something or someone, and some people got uncomfortable

166
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: by it. I loved it. I loved it. And also

167
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: when he did that interview after the Sugar Bowl, after

168
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: they stopped rolling the cameras, the eye Josh was still

169
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: rolling and I've got this footage somewhere. I think I

170
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: probably should go find it and post it. But he

171
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: just does a circle around the lower bowl of the

172
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: New Orleans Superdome. Forget what the sponsor was at the time,

173
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: and Tony Brown just shouts at people, including some older

174
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: Clumson fans who probably have never even heard of him before.

175
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: But if for all Tony Brown knows, they were trash

176
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: talking him too. So Tony Brown, he had no filter

177
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: on who he was ready to target that day. And

178
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of how we want to chase. So if

179
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: I got someone who's willing to go over the cliff,

180
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: if I got someone who really throws caution to the wind,

181
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: that's the kind of attitude we have to have on

182
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: the chase. I want Tony Brown storm chasing with me.

183
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Definitely don't want him on the other team. If we

184
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: have a Bill Paxton Jonas type twister situation, I definitely

185
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: don't want him on the Jonas team. I got to

186
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: have him on my team. Uh dre Next up, how

187
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: soon will the best players in college football sit out

188
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: regular season games due to playoff expansion? This is a

189
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: dirty question. I always hesitate to talk about this because

190
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: it's my biggest fear. Obviously, it's not the only reason

191
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: that I'm sort of anti expansion, because frankly, I think

192
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: this is a little more out there, but it is

193
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: a remote possibility, and if it's even a remote possibility,

194
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: it's scary. It's kind of like if I were doing

195
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: a finance and econo show right now, I wouldn't want

196
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: to answer questions about the banks possibly defaulting on withdraws

197
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: because it's a big fear. Obviously there's a run on

198
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: banks and they can't fulfill your withdraws, Well, you've got

199
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: a banking crisis, and so I would just steer away

200
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: from it. That's the same way I would never make

201
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: horror movies because I would be scared to give actual

202
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: people ideas to do things in real life. Well, I

203
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: don't want to give players the idea of sitting out

204
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: college football playoff games or regular season games. But since

205
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: you asked the question, I think there's a small chance

206
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: of it. But I think there is a chance. Now

207
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: here's what won't happen. What I don't think whatever happened

208
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: is any team like Michigan, if they're the number two seed,

209
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't think their players are sitting out games. Ever.

210
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: I do think, though, while I don't predict it, I

211
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: do think there is a small chance that after we

212
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: get a few years into the playoff, the new twelve

213
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: team era, and we recondition ourselves to know what to expect,

214
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: we recondition ourselves to know what's normal, that the thinking

215
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: will change. It's impossible to do this right now. I

216
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: know what a lot of you are already saying. A

217
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: lot of you are already looking sideways at your phone

218
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: or wherever you're listening to me right now, and you're saying,

219
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: is he really about to suggest that players are going

220
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: to set out regular season games or playoff games. That's impossible.

221
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: No one would ever do that. Well, you're half right,

222
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: no one would ever do it. Right now, because right

223
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: now we know that games with playoff implications are maximum

224
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: in their importance, and playoff games themselves, because we have

225
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: three of them. Two semi finals in the national title

226
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: game are maximum in their importance. We have four playoff

227
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: spots right now. The simple fact is you cannot decrease

228
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: the scarcity of something and maintain the value of it.

229
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: We have more of something. That means the individual somethings

230
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: lose a little bit of individual value. That's the trade

231
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: off that a lot of you are willing to accept.

232
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: That's fine, you're dragging me, kicking and screaming down the road,

233
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna come with you, because the alternative is

234
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: not to watch the sport anymore. But what my fear

235
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: is is we let's say we start this playoff in

236
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Let's say it's twenty twenty nine, and

237
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: we've got five or six or seven or whatever years

238
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: of case study built up that the eight, nine, ten, eleven,

239
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: and twelve seeds they just don't stand a chance unless

240
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: it's something like LSU sneaking in the back door, because

241
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: they've got a good enough roster to make a run.

242
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: So let's say that the body of work has convinced

243
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: us that some teams really have no shot, and what

244
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: you thought was gonna be huge playing for a spot

245
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: no matter what the seed is ends up not being

246
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: so huge because you end up saying to yourself, Yeah,

247
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: the winner of this game could get the eleven seed,

248
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: But what is it really gonna mean. You don't think

249
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: you'll say that, but you'll end up saying that. Well,

250
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: my fear is that we have then devalued playoff spots

251
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: to the point where someone on one of those teams

252
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: that may be eight and three and playing in the

253
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: regular season finale is projected to be a first round

254
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: draft pick and says, I don't want to really risk it.

255
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: The millions of dollars potentially in my future outweigh in

256
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: value of possibly getting a playoff spot where it looks

257
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: like we just get drug anyway, because once you go

258
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: down that slope, it's too slippery to come back up.

259
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: You're done because then the illusion, the kind of fog

260
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: that you're hoping to keep in front of everyone's face,

261
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: the accepted value of playoff spots, it's gone. Because have

262
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: you ever thought about this? What would happen if all

263
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the players didn't take as seriously the

264
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: things that we take seriously. That's a very fine balance.

265
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: Right now, you don't ever have to worry about it.

266
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: If you're an NFL fan. Players take the Super Bowl

267
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: very very seriously. They always will. In college football, players

268
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: take the national championship and right now the playoff very serious.

269
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: Will it always be that way? Will conference championship games

270
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: always be that way? And therefore, as the question was asked,

271
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: will regular season games always be that way? I hope

272
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: the answers yes. Even people like me who don't want expansion,

273
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: I hope the answers yes. There is a world, though,

274
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: where I see that happening. See I always do this.

275
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: I always look for precedent in the legal world. They

276
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: would look at for case study on it, and there

277
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: is case study on it. It's just not apples to apples.

278
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: I can't go back in college football history and say,

279
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: here is an expanded twelve team playoff, let's see what happened.

280
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: But we can look for some similarities. Here's the similarity.

281
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: The four team playoff is the similarity. Once upon a time,

282
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: about a decade ago, as recently as a decade ago,

283
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: it would have been insane to talk about people opting

284
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: out of bowl games just insane. If I were doing

285
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: this show in twenty eleven or twenty twelve and I said, hey,

286
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: if we expand the playoff, I think guys are just

287
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: gonna opt out of non playoff games. I don't think

288
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna take it seriously anymore. You would have told

289
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: me that was crazy, because there's there's just an accepted

290
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: value in making a Bowl game. And then they started

291
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: opting out. It only took one. Leonard Fournette I think

292
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: was one of the big early opt outs, but then

293
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: once that happened, it went from one to seven to twenty,

294
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: and then it just kind of exponentially ballooned to where

295
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: you have what you have today. You just assume that

296
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: the big players aren't gonna play. It's so assumed now

297
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: that we made a ton of money off the Sugar

298
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: Bowl because people Vegas even assumed that Bryce Young and

299
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: Will Anderson were not going to play for Alabama against

300
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Kansas State. They hung Bama minus three and a half

301
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: as the opening line, and then all of a sudden

302
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: they announced they're gonna play in Vegas is just exposed.

303
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, what I'm saying is don't think just because

304
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: something sounds crazy and irrational right now that it couldn't happen,

305
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: because there are several things that are the norm today

306
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: that would have been crazy and out of this world.

307
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: And saying just the decade ago, decades not a very

308
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: long time. So we're talking in twenty twenty three right now.

309
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: Most of us plan on being around in twenty thirty three.

310
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Most of us plan on still loving college football in

311
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: twenty thirty three? Is it? Are the parts of it

312
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: you love still there to love? That's I guess what

313
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: we're asking, and it has to remain rhetorical for the

314
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: time being. All Right, we roll merrily along here. Nathan

315
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: hit me up and said, everyone is super high on

316
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Florida State and Clemson. Well where did all the North

317
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: Carolina hype go? Why are they not seen as a

318
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: favorite to at least go back to the ACC title

319
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: game with Drake May returning from Tullahoma, Tennessee. This is

320
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: a good question. There was a lot of hype, wasn't there.

321
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: I contributed. I'm guilty. I'm not too proud to admit it.

322
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: I think what happened was two years ago. It started

323
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: two years ago. North Carolina was hyped and they just

324
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: fell flat on their face. And that's really when most

325
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: people checked out. Now I hung around a little bit longer,

326
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, I thought last year they may

327
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: have a secretly better shot than they did the year before.

328
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: And I was kind of right, I guess, because they

329
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: went nine and five as opposed to go in six

330
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: and seven, and they did go to the ACC Championship game,

331
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: whereas they did not the year before. But they were

332
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: so dead in the water down the stretch and they

333
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: were so therefore vulnerable in the conference championship game. If

334
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: you've forgotten, let me refresh your memory. Their last three games,

335
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: they played Georgia Tech, a rudderless Georgia Tech and lost.

336
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: They played NC State and lost, and then they got

337
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: drugged by Clemson in the conference championship game, and then

338
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: they got beat by Oregon in the ball game. So

339
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: they were zero for four their last four games. So

340
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: if you want to know where the hype went, that's

341
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: where the hype went. No one believes in the team. Now,

342
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean anything you're not asking me is hype

343
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: and production on the field correlated, because they're not. In fact,

344
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're totally opposite. But people don't believe in them

345
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: because they have shown themselves in the eyes of many

346
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: to sort of be hollow. North Carolina, there's some good

347
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: pieces there. Yeah, you got the quarterback, but you had

348
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: him last year too, and so they just feel kind

349
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: of hollow. Now what does Vegas think? Well, North Carolina's

350
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: got the third best odds to win the Confert, well

351
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: to win the National Championship out of ACC teams. Drake

352
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: May has the third best heisman ods at Caesar's. So

353
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: certainly Vegas has not punted on North Carolina. They just

354
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: have to be better. Like I think, hollow is the

355
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: best word to describe their style of play. They have

356
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: to be better. No one fears them when they play Clemson,

357
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: no one fears them. You know. I don't think any

358
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: people are gonna take them seriously against Florida State this

359
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: year until proven otherwise. So they've had their shot. Now.

360
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: The windows not closed. That's the good news for them.

361
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: The window's not closed. And the other bit of good

362
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: news is it doesn't matter if people believe in you

363
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: or not. Some programs out there do better when people

364
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: don't believe in them. But that's where that's where the

365
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: North Carolina high point. I think at this point it

366
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: would be a little disingenuous to just keep hyping North

367
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: Carolina in the midst of evidence to the contrary. I

368
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: believe in you, they don't. There you go. I wanted

369
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: that as a sound bite for down the road, because

370
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: we do that from time to time. Let's see, let's

371
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: go with Alex. Alex is next up. Alex asked, what

372
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: are fair expectations for BAMA this year? What happens if

373
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: they underachieve again? This second question always always floors me.

374
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: I love it. We're not talking about A and M.

375
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: We're not talking about West Virginia. Okay, those are teams

376
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: where if they underachieved this year, you may very well

377
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: be looking at coaching changes. You absolutely would be looking

378
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: at one at West Virginia. This is a question about

379
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: an eleven and two Sugar Bowl champion, and the question

380
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: is what if they underachieve again, which leads one to

381
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: believe they underachieved last year, and one is right to

382
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: believe that, which shows you how astronomically high the standard

383
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: is at a place like Alabama. So let's answer the

384
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: second question first, what happens if they underachieve again, They'll

385
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: probably win ten games and nothing will really change, at

386
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: least cosmetically, nothing will really change, Like, what's what do

387
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: you want me to say that they're gonna fire Nick Saban,

388
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna voluntarily step down. I'm not good

389
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: enough anymore. I only won ten this year. Nothing's gonna change,

390
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: or at least nothing that is related to that, or

391
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: nothing that's caused by that would change. But the first

392
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: question is the one that I want to focus on.

393
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: What is a reasonable expectation for them? Reasonable in our

394
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: eyes is what is what is, out of one hundred simulations,

395
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: the most likely outcome. So it's not best case, it's

396
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: not worst case, it's most likely. It's reasonable to expect this.

397
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: Twelve and zero is reasonable to expect with them every year.

398
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: There are two or three programs where you can reasonably

399
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: have that expectation. That doesn't mean it's a crisis if

400
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: they're eleven and one. That doesn't mean the earth is

401
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: tilting off its axis if they're ten and two. But

402
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: it does mean when you recruit the best players in

403
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: the country, you've got the best infrastructure in the country,

404
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: you've got the best head coach in the country. You've

405
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: got an established track record of a decade and a

406
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: half of dominance. Now, yeah, it's reasonable to expect that

407
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: you'll beat every team on your regular season schedule because

408
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: you'll be favored against every one of them. That's reasonable.

409
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: And then if you go eleven and one, all your

410
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: goals are still in front of you. You're good unless

411
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: the one loss you have is to a team that

412
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: themselves goes undefeated in your division. So they play Texas

413
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: in week two, they got all Miss at home. In

414
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: Week four, they go to A and M. This year

415
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: they got Tennessee at home, they got LSU at home,

416
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: they go to Auburn at the end of the year.

417
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: They absolutely should win every game they play. Now, the

418
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: question obviously starts at quarterback. The questions also extend to

419
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: the two new coordinators. I think it's going to be

420
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: an interesting team to watch this year. You know, I

421
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: as I say this, it makes it sound like I

422
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: think there's some superhuman team. I don't think that at all. Actually,

423
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: I thought last year's team was the one that was

424
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: really supposed to rewrite the record books up there. So

425
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Alabama this year, Yeah, it's reasonable to expect them to

426
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: win every game. It's always reasonable to expect the team

427
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: to win a game they're favorite in, and Bama will

428
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: be favored in every game on their schedule, so it's

429
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: reasonable to expect that. But what happens if they don't?

430
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: What is under achievement is eleven, and one under achievement

431
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: is ten, and two is under achievement. What if, well,

432
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: what if? Okay, what if that happens. The thing that

433
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: happens if that goes down would be the same thing

434
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: that's happening right now. People would freak out, Nick Saban

435
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: may make some staff chain, but they'd just roll right

436
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: into the next season and go about their business. That's

437
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: what would happen. That's the what if. I was almost

438
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: unsure of how to answer that question, so I decided

439
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: to just answer it on the fly. That's it. What

440
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: if it already happened, so you already see what would

441
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: happen if that went down. Next up, Sorry, I'm just

442
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm just catching my breath for a second. Perry with

443
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: a very very important question here. Perry asked, what is

444
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 1: the ideal perfect college football weather conditions? The ideal perfect

445
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: college football weather conditions? People argue about the perfect college

446
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: football weather conditions a lot because there is this misnomer

447
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: out there, and to be clear, it's a misnomer that

448
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: snow and wind and twenty three degrees that's football weather.

449
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Certainly it's weather that you can play football in. That

450
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: is not ideal for me. And full disclosure, I was

451
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: a kid who grew up in the South and fantasized

452
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: about snow because I never got to see it. Very

453
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: rarely did we get to see it. So it was

454
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: my dream. We play a pickup football game that's way

455
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: more than just a pickup game every day after Thanksgiving.

456
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: We called it the Thanksgiving Classic. We played it at

457
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: Harris County High School, full tackle, eight on eight. We

458
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: had a rule book, we had everything, we had officials,

459
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: and we would always dream about playing that game in snow.

460
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: We settled for rain. We wanted to play in the elements.

461
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: So trust me, I grew up romanticizing playing football in

462
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: the elements, just like you all did. However, as I

463
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: got older, I have tried to maintain a very hardened exterior,

464
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: but there are some soft points that have started to

465
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: develop within me, and one of those is I don't

466
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: like cold weather anymore. I want warm weather. So my

467
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: ideal weather conditions for a college football game are about

468
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: sixty five degrees and sunny. And this is how soft

469
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: I've gotten. The earlier the kickoff, the better. It doesn't

470
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: have to do necessarily with an early bedtime. It has

471
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that I am on the

472
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: road and traveling back, and so those early kickoffs obviously

473
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: give me a chance to fly back to Nashville that night.

474
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: I mean case in point. This last year, I was

475
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: at Bama Texas and that was an eleven am Central kickoff,

476
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: and I was back in Nashville in time to watch

477
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: the late games. Dittoh Ole, Miss Kentucky eleven am kickoff.

478
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: This last year, I'm back in Nashville in time to

479
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: watch the late kickoffs. That's living, that's how you do it.

480
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, I would like to get back

481
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: to Nashville and have a nice, nice little bastan built

482
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: up from a late fall, nice autumn sunny afternoon, little

483
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: bit of chill in the air in the morning, but

484
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: it warms up into a beautiful high sky, you know,

485
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: periodic clouds, mainly sunny, sixty five degree day on one

486
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: of several beautiful CAMPI plural of campus that we have

487
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: across this great country of ours. I'm gonna get pushed

488
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: back on that. I know I am because I know

489
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: a lot of you love the snow. I mean I

490
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: was up there. I was up there for Ohio State

491
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: Michigan two years ago, and that was certainly picturesque and

492
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: as a one off, you know, experiencing that once, that's great.

493
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy about going through that. I hate the

494
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: wind a lot more than I hate the snow, but

495
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: I am not crazy about going through that. Not crazy

496
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: about it at all. Used to be not at all anymore.

497
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: There's just I don't know, Little JP would be very disappointing.

498
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: And so two from me to Little JP, I am sorry.

499
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: Then I have to do that to you. Let's go

500
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: with Wyatt. Wyatt from Lubbock, Texas, with the word being

501
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: thrown around so willy nilly at the moment LSU women's

502
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: basketball and all, how would you properly define and use

503
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: the term classless? Classless? Wyatt asks me about classlessness. For

504
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 1: those of you who don't know what he's talking about,

505
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: all four of you, we had Iowa versus LSU women's

506
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: national championship in college basketball. It was so big. We

507
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: were watching it in the office and I was having

508
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: to teach Jesse about the finer points of women's college basketball.

509
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: And so you have the ending happen, and you got

510
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark and you got Angel Reese and someone does that.

511
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: You can't see me in half of You don't even

512
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: know what that means if you don't watch pro wrestling.

513
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: And then it happened. I check Twitter, and I got

514
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of fifty seven year old guys calling a

515
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: bunch of nineteen year old girls class lists. And it

516
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: is the most overused term in all of sports classless

517
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: because no one ever in the middle of winning, calls

518
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: the losing team class list. It's only said when you're losing.

519
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: And also, ninety eight percent of the time you are

520
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: defining something as classless that you would readily endorse if

521
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: your own folks did it. And I know it because

522
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: any given point when one fan of a team is

523
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: calling someone else's class list, I can go back and

524
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: find countless examples across multiple sports in their own program

525
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: throughout history where their folks have done equal to or

526
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: worse than the action that someone who is being defined

527
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: as classless is currently exhibiting a lot of words there.

528
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: The point is hypocrisy. Hipocrisy abounds when people are calling

529
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: others classless. What is classless? To me? I'll tell you

530
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: what's classless? Is classless? Is Tanya Harding paying someone to

531
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: take a crowbar to Nancy Kerrigan Shin's that was classless.

532
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: I am willing to admit that. Why that is classless?

533
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: Being a high level competitor, being a little fiery that

534
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: is not classless. It's just that it's competition. Angel Rees,

535
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: I don't really care whether you like her or not.

536
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't really care whether you agreed with everything she said. Frankly,

537
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: she said some stuff after the game that I didn't

538
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: care for all that much. But when I say I

539
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: didn't care for it, ultimately I want you to remember

540
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't care period. You can say whatever you want to.

541
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't have to like everything you say. It's competition.

542
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: If I want to do something about it, I should

543
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: beat you. Then I get to say whatever I want to.

544
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: But I have this thing that I've noticed. Maybe it's

545
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: not recent, but I've noticed it recently. This is not

546
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: a movie, you know, this is not a television series.

547
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: You don't always get the endings you want. You don't

548
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: always get the story arc you want, and you don't

549
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: always get to be happy at the end. And there

550
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: are a there's a growing number of people in the

551
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: sporting society that think anything that happens against their better

552
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: wishes and against their desires of what they want to

553
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: see in terms of outcome, it's bad. And there's this

554
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: growing group of people that think if there's unhappiness with

555
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: an outcome, the outcome was bad. It's not bad. It's

556
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: not the worst thing in the world for you to

557
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: be upset. It's not the worst thing in the world

558
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: for you to not care for something. I just told you.

559
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: There were some things said yesterday I didn't care for

560
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: two days ago, whenever it was. But who cares what

561
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: I care about? I do, and that's it. You shouldn't

562
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: care necessarily about my thoughts on how a women's basketball

563
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: player carries herself unless she takes a crowbar to someone's shins.

564
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: That's always the great caveat. Mima told me. It's okay

565
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: to talk, it's okay to wave your hand in someone's face.

566
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: Keep the crow bar in the locker room, don't take

567
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 1: the crowbar out on the court. So unless we have

568
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: a Tanya Harding Nancy Kerrigan situation, I'm gonna let it fly.

569
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't really know if I define classless. I do

570
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: get really tired of hearing it thrown around. We have

571
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: done the overused terms in sports on the show before.

572
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: We've gone with and it's not even close, blank and

573
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: it's not even close. That is one of my very

574
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: tippy top pet peeve overused terms because most of the

575
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: time when someone says and it's not even close, they're

576
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: talking about something that's really close, but classless. It's really

577
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: up there classless. How would you define classless? By the way,

578
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: like some people think it's classless. When I do this,

579
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: the haters in the contro room tell me that wasn't

580
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: my best ad, Toss. That's why they're haters, because that

581
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: was pretty quality work. Next up, Will asks, oh, Will,

582
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: don't do this to me? Will asks how much of

583
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: Saban's greatness should be attributed to Kirby because we only

584
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: hear vice versa, not my fault. Will, There is no

585
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna tell

586
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: you Kirby smart did contribute a lot to Nick Saban's

587
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: operation over in Tuscaloosa. That's just like a Sun working

588
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: long hours and putting in great work at the family business.

589
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: But you gotta remember who brought the Sun into the world,

590
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: and you're looking at who brought Kirby Smart into this world,

591
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: into this football world, and that's Nick Saban. Now I'm

592
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: partly saying that just because I know it riles up

593
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: some of my better friends back home in Georgia. My

594
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: real thoughts on this are, Kirby Smart's one of the

595
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: greatst head coaches we have in college football today, and

596
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: therefore he's one of the greatest Sabans ever had. I

597
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: thought it was really interesting when they won that title.

598
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: When Georgia won that title against Alabama a couple of

599
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: years ago, Nick Saban's one of the most fiery competitors

600
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: you'll see. He knew it was eventually coming from somewhere,

601
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: like one of his former assistants was going to beat

602
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: him for a title at some point, and it was

603
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: Kirby And so when it happened, he smiled. As they

604
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: embraced at midfield, he smiled. And I don't know what

605
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: I expected. I didn't expect that, But I think that

606
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: there is a lot of admiration, although very competitive, there's

607
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: a lot of admiration for Nick Saban when he looks

608
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: at Kirby Smart, because here's what he sees. What I

609
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: think he sees is a bunch of folks who have

610
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: worked under him, who weren't able to duplicate what he does.

611
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: They were able to say things like process, they were

612
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: able to repeat the phrases, they were able to put

613
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: the posters up on the wall, but they weren't able

614
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: to implement iteing it versus implementing it to totally different things.

615
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: If you've ever tried to leave people, you know the

616
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: difference between the two. He sees a guy for the

617
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: first time who's been able to work under him and

618
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: who has that DNA in him. Saban didn't put it

619
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: in him. Kirby Smart's got it. That's what attracted Nick Saban,

620
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: probably to him. That's what allowed Nick Saban to delegate

621
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: so much long term responsibility. It is no small thing

622
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: for Nick Saban to say, you are going to run

623
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: my defense and do it for a long time. And

624
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: so obviously saw something to Kirby Smart a long time ago.

625
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: But even then you don't fully know what kind of

626
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: head coach he's going to be. But Kirby Smart goes

627
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: on to become a great head coach, and Sabin looks

628
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: over there and appreciates it because Saban, more so than

629
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: anyone else, knows how hard it is to do what

630
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart's doing. That's when someone comes in the back door,

631
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: by the way, and they say, now, huh, I could

632
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: win if I had everything he has. No, you couldn't.

633
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: You'd be a loser in all life. Who'd be a loser?

634
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't know you personally. I'm just saying if you're

635
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: if you're dumb enough to say that, you'd probably be

636
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: a loser. Because I know that because a bunch of

637
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: people have had really good opportunities with a ton of

638
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: resources and flamed out spectacularly. Some of them are in

639
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: the process of doing it as we speak. It's not easy.

640
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: Even with everything at your fingertips, it's not easy. And

641
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: let me remind you, by the way, some of what

642
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart has at his fingertips right now didn't exist

643
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: when he got to Georgia. So back to the question,

644
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it was mutually beneficial, a very mutually beneficial relationship.

645
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: You could look at Nick Saban's national titles and say, hey,

646
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: he won several of them with Kirby Smart running his defense,

647
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: and that defense was never better than when Kirby Smart

648
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: was there, And you're right, is there an excuse to

649
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: be made? No, Kirby Smart's just a really good defensive mind.

650
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: He was also a really good recruiter that got a

651
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: number of those players. You don't. You don't have to

652
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: knock one to praise the other, That's my point. And

653
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: so then Kirby Smart leaves, Saban is our in the

654
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: process of reinventing his team. Sabin wins a couple of

655
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: more national championships, including one against Georgia, after Kirby's left.

656
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: So it's obvious that Kirby Smart was not the determining factor.

657
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: But it's also very obvious that he was one of

658
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: the critical factors in contributing to a lot of what

659
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: Alabama was. If he wasn't, he would have gone to

660
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: Georgia and failed. If he was a product solely of

661
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: working under Nick Saban, he would have been exposed the

662
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: moment he got a program of his own to run.

663
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: I know that because several others have been exposed when

664
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: they looked really good under Saban and as a result

665
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: did get a program of their own to run. So

666
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: the answer is Nick Saban has been really great. Kirby

667
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: Smart greatly benefited from being able to learn under and

668
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: observe the best to ever do it. Nick Saban benefited

669
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: because being who he is, he attracts the best and

670
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: then benefits from having the best work for him. That's

671
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: the way it works. That's no different than a big

672
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: Wall Street ceo. Everyone wants to go work for him,

673
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: and then the Wall streets. The ceo probably doesn't have

674
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: to put in the sweat equity anymore that a lot

675
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: of the rank and file do. And the rank and

676
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: file sometimes are ignorant enough to look around and say,

677
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: we're the ones who make him look good, We're the

678
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: ones who make her look good. Really, there's a reason

679
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: you fought and you crawled over broken glass to get

680
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: the job you have, because you know what that logo

681
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: looks like on your resume and in coaching, when you

682
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: walk in with that script A on your chest, it

683
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: means a little something different then when you walk in

684
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: with another logo on your chest. So, yes, mutual beneficial

685
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: I will not be dragged into this world of one

686
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: or the other. I will not be dragged into the

687
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: Lebron MJ debate of college football. I will not be

688
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: dragged into the Kirby or Sabings. Give me both. That's

689
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: against the rules. There are no rules. Give me both

690
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: of them. Community. Next up, Kenya, very important question. When

691
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: you go stormchasing, does it look like the movie Twister?

692
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: In real life? People are laughing. People are laughing out

693
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: there because I think you know what my answer is

694
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: going to be, or you think you know what my

695
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: answer is going to be. There's a line in the

696
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: sand to be drawn here when we go stormchasing. From

697
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: a pure atmospheric science standpoint, there may have been some

698
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: liberties taken in the movie Twister. That's what Hollywood does.

699
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: As I've explained before, I think on the show, and

700
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: I'll explain it once more. Where Twister really gets real

701
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: is not necessarily in an accurate depiction of what the

702
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: inside of a tornado looks like. In fact that there

703
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: are a lot of liberties taken with that. At the

704
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: very end, what I do think they nailed is stormchasing culture,

705
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: what it's like being on the road, what it's like

706
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: being in the situation the only thing and it's a

707
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: shame because it's one of the best scenes in the movie.

708
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert if you haven't seen the nineteen ninety six

709
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: blockbuster Twister, one of the only scenes that's unrealistic, ironically

710
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: is the best scene in the movie, and that is

711
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: the scene where in the middle of an action packed

712
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: chase day, they have time to go to Wakita, Oklahoma

713
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: and eat steaking eggs at Aunt Meg's house. You have

714
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: no time to do that in the middle of the day.

715
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: I wish you did, because I don't even care. If

716
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: you don't want to watch the movie Twister, you need

717
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: to go watch the scene in Aunt Megs. It's like

718
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: back in the day. You remember when they would have

719
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: those infomercials. If you watched Sunday night Football and then

720
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: you just left the TV on, sixty minutes would come

721
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: on after it, and then if you left the TV

722
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: on long enough, those those Ronco grill commercials would come on.

723
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: This is like one o'clock in the morning, and so

724
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: like only truck drivers and drunks are awake at this point,

725
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: and you're watching Ronco commercials. And that was the thing

726
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: where they would put the meat, whatever kind of meat

727
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: you had, in the grill, and it would show you

728
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: how to load it and you know, marinate it, put

729
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: it in there. Then they would have a finished product

730
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: right over here that they started cooking hours ago, and

731
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: they would pull it out and they would show you

732
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: and they would like take the ginsu cutting knives and

733
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: they would carve open the meat and it just made

734
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: your mouth water and it was impossible. My point is

735
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: it would it was impossible to watch that infomercial and

736
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: not be hungry. And then you got a problem because

737
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: you're hungry at one thirty five in the morning. So

738
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: what do you do. You'd make some bad decisions. I

739
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: dare you to go watch the scene from Aunt Meg's

740
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: house where they have the steak and the eggs and

741
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: they have the mashed potatoes and then Meg's gravy, which

742
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: is so good. In the words of Philip Seymour Hoffmann,

743
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: it should be its own food group being served to

744
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: Jamie Gertz, part owner of the Atlanta Hawks. Now, I

745
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: challenge you to watch that scene and not be hungry.

746
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: If you're not hungry, I don't think you're alive. After

747
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: you watch the Aunt Meg scene, in the movie Twister.

748
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: Great movie. But yeah, So anyway, my point is it's

749
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: really fun. It's really fun. I said on I think

750
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: it was another part the other I don't think i've

751
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: said it on this one. Someone asked me, they said, hey,

752
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: why do you do that? First off, because granted, it's

753
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: crazy to most people to want to put yourself on

754
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: the path of a tornado. We saw two of them

755
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: last Friday, by the way, two of them one in Brinkley, Arkansas,

756
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: one in a des Arc Arkansas, and one of them

757
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: was between Cotton Plant and Little Dixie, Arkansas. Know your geography, kids,

758
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: especially in rural Arkansas. So the reason is because it's awesome.

759
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: That's the reason. You have to have a little bit

760
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: of something little, little crooked inside of you. Or maybe

761
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: there's there's a fear mechanism that is supposed to be

762
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: in you that's missing in someone like me. But I

763
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 1: don't think that's the case because I'm petrified of lightning,

764
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: and most of you take lightning far too lightly. You

765
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: laugh at me when I say my biggest fear in

766
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: the world is lightning, which is is kind of oxymoronic

767
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: because I'm around it constantly. When we're stormchasing, and that's

768
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: why I stick my head out of the sun roof

769
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: instead of stepping outside a lot of times. True story.

770
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: But anyway, I said on the I said on another

771
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: pod the other day, they asked me what it's like,

772
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: what's it like seeing a sin a tornado? And I

773
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: gave you three things that I wanted you to combine.

774
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: Ear muff the kids for a second. Take sex. Combine

775
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: it with being face to face with a lion. And

776
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: combine that with being at the crest of a roller

777
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: coaster just as it starts to go downhill. Take these

778
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: three things, put them in a blender. Hit the blender

779
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: last notch there was for effect, pour it out, and

780
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: that is what the emotion is like. Hoops amongst us

781
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to experience that the lion is behind glass

782
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: in this scenario. By the way, so you are in danger,

783
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: but it's a combined danger, all right. Porter next up

784
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: from Franklin, Tennessee. Very close by I that's down near

785
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: where management's compound is. Porter asked, would LSU football be

786
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: even more obnoxious than LSU women's hoops if they want

787
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: a title. I don't think Porter's an LSU fan. I

788
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: really get the feeling that Porter is is, dare I say,

789
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: anti LSU? What did LSU ever do to you? Porter?

790
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: So we go back to this old LSU women's basketball thing,

791
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: the obnoxiousness, as some put it. Let me ask you

792
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: a question, is being obnoxious a bad thing? There's a

793
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: pause there. I want you to think about it. Everybody's

794
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: immediate reaction is yes, I'm not so sure. It's a

795
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: terrible thing. All the time. This is you know, this

796
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: is like when I watch parliament. When I watch parliamentary proceedings,

797
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: they do things differently in Britain than they do it

798
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: in the US. The US political scene is a clown

799
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: show behind the scenes, but they try in front when

800
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 1: they're on camera. In Britain, they just part the curtain

801
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: and they go at each other's throats right there in

802
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: the open. And so both ways there are things happening.

803
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 1: The ball is being pushed forward within their own political lens.

804
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: But in sports, the same thing can happen in sports.

805
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: If you've ever played, if you've ever played sports, you

806
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: know what it's like at practice, you know what it's

807
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: like in locker room, and you know what it's like

808
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: on the field. Unless someone's micd up. That's real. Okay,

809
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: that's authentic, that's genuine, that's raw. Why should it ever

810
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: be dressed up? Why should you ever have to dress

811
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: it up? You know how you feel inside when you

812
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: win something or lose something. In a perfect world, and

813
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: this is me talking, this is my opinion. In a

814
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: perfect world, there is no filter, there is no stricter plate.

815
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: Just however you're feeling comes out. Some people are going

816
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: to be rubbed the wrong way by it. Some people

817
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: are going to be really obnoxious, some people are going

818
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: to be robotic. I want all of that, and then

819
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: if I don't like you, guess what I can do.

820
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: I can root against you, and if I do like you,

821
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: I can root for you, and then everyone can live

822
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: happily ever after, because you don't have to like everybody

823
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: or everything. I would say, if everyone wants to talk

824
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: about health of a sport, would it not be the

825
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: best thing for the sport to have a healthy mixture

826
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: out there of some things you like and some things

827
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: you don't like. Now, we already have that baked into sports.

828
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: You have your team and then you have your rivals.

829
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: Yes we have that, but even within that, on a

830
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: more granular sub level. If there's an opposing player. You know,

831
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: if you're an Iowa State fan and there's some player

832
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: at Texas Tech that rubs you the wrong way, good

833
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's not the end of the world if

834
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: you don't like someone, Like I said, as long as

835
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: you don't take the crowbar to the Shens, we're fine.

836
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: In college football LSU. Hey, when LSU won that title

837
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, not everybody liked Joe Burrow. Not everybody

838
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: liked the dude smoking cigars and a no smoking section

839
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: of the Superdome. He did it anyway, Did he care? No?

840
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: Should he care? No? Do I care? If I do,

841
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: it's irrelevant. I wasn't rubbed the wrong way by that

842
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: in particular, But yeah, there have been some players in

843
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: the past. I don't particularly care for him. Hey, Marshall

844
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: Henderson when he was playing basketball for role Miss couldn't

845
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: stand him, And yet if I were advising him, I

846
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: would tell Marshall Henderson, now, look, I don't like you,

847
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: but you probably need to keep doing whatever it is

848
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: you're doing. Let's keep doing it. There were people rubbed

849
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: the wrong way by Johnny Manzel. When you rise above

850
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: the crowd, you're going to have that. You're gonna have

851
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: a mixture of people who love you and people who

852
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: want to play quack a mole with you. And this

853
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: what it is so LSU, Yeah, that'd probably be a

854
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: little obnoxious. Here's the thing. The DNA of LSU athletics,

855
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: what is woven into LSU sports, and therefore what is

856
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: present when they're at their best, is going to rub

857
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: some people the wrong way. That's what culture is about.

858
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: That's what geographical and territorial culture is about. People in

859
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: Louisiana are a different way than people in Albany, New York.

860
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: Then people in Bismarck, North Dakota. Who can. That's called culture.

861
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. It's not a bad thing. So

862
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: when you take what is unique about Louisiana and then

863
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: you turn it up to eleven and it has athleticism

864
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: woven into it, that is LSU athletics. And so when

865
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: that women's basketball teams wins, it's gonna look different than Iowa,

866
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna feel different, it's gonna sound different than Iowa.

867
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: When LSU football wins. Ditto if and when they win

868
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: a title under Brian Kelly, let me spoil the ending

869
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: for you gonna sound a little different, look a little different,

870
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: feel a little different than if Iowa football were to

871
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: win it under Kirk ference. Neither one of them is bad,

872
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: they're just different. We're not pumping everyone off an assembly

873
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 1: line here. We're not programming players. And if you rub

874
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: the wrong way by it, at the end of the day,

875
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 1: that's it. That's the net result. You just don't like something.

876
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: You watch shows all the time that have characters in

877
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: it you don't like. You watch movies all the time

878
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: and it's got a character in it you don't like

879
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: antagonist protagonist. Now, the difference in sports is we can

880
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: organically get that. No one has to write it. No

881
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 1: one had to write what happened in the LSU Iowa

882
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: women's game. No one had to write it. That's just

883
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: raw competition. That is the theater of competition playing out

884
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: before the world's eyes. I liked it, even if I

885
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 1: didn't like parts of it, I liked it over all.

886
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: And in LSU's case, it's coming. They will eventually win

887
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 1: a national championship under Brian Kelly. To me, I think

888
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. If you think people are rubbed the

889
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: wrong way by lsu Hey, wait till USC wins won

890
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: under Lincoln Riley. Way do you see national championship winning

891
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: head coach Lincoln Riley? Because Riley is a guy who

892
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: most of the country is convinced can't win one, and

893
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: Southern cal by default, is going to be hated anytime

894
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: they're good because it's Southern California. So yeah, there are

895
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: a few of those brands out there that if they

896
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: ever rise back to the top level of the sport,

897
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: you're not some of you aren't gonna like it. But

898
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: that's okay. That's not the worst thing in the world.

899
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: What is a bad thing is that we're done for

900
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: the day. But I do need you to do one thing.

901
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the pot. You can leave

902
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: a five star review if you want. I appreciate him,

903
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 1: but subscribe. That's good enough. And follow on the socials

904

906
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you again now, got even more surprises coming

Speaker 1: up for you next week, and that includes us being

908
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: on the road, not Stormchason per Se. We're gonna be

909
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: on the road for college football related reasons. I'm just

910
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: not telling you where we're going yet. You'll find out

911
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: when everyone finds out. Until then, for a producer Jesse
