Man, it wasn't even that 21 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: long ago that Brian Kelly. 22 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: I ain't none me my family, I'm winning you. 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 3: Was taking victory laps and sideswiping Davos Sweeney after their 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 3: Week one when in Clemson's Death Valley, and now just 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: butt it of two months later, less than two months later, 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: that'll do it. Brian Kelly has been fired by LSU. 27 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 3: Apparently they're still working through how to figure out his 28 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: fifty four million dollar buyout. But Brian Kelly and his 29 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: run at LSU has come to an end. And for 30 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: all the talk and all the gusto and everything that 31 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: he threw out there over the past couple of years, 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: probably not the way I think a lot of LSU 33 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: fans thought this is gonna play out because they got 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: their ass whooped my Texas A and M over the weekend. 35 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 4: Well, first off, like both both these things can be true. 36 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 4: The first is Texas and m is a really good 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 4: football team. Mike Elko, who is a former defensive assistant 38 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 4: under Brian Kelly while on Notre Dame, is a. 39 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 5: Hell of a football coach. 40 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 4: And I'll say this right now, Marcel Reid, their quarterback, 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 4: is a player that I've watched every week and that 42 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 4: young man has continued to improve. He should be If 43 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 4: you want to place a long bit on the Heisman, 44 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 4: like I'd throw his name right now in the ring. 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 4: He should be able to get some good odds because 46 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 4: they're going to play a little more difficult schedule the 47 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 4: rest of the way, but they he's gonna be a 48 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: guy that's draft eligible, and from watching what I see 49 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 4: in him, like he'd be a guy that I would 50 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: say could be a first round pick. I mean, he's 51 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 4: got all the talent and skill. It just comes down 52 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 4: to like development and taking that next step. And from 53 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 4: last year, this year he's done that. I mean his 54 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 4: McKay annex's full work, Like everything's been much improved. So 55 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 4: Marcel reads a guy that like I'm keeping an eye 56 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 4: on for the rest of season, but also to see 57 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 4: what he does after this year, because I think he's 58 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: got a great chance of being one of the top 59 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 4: quarterbacks taken just on the field in comparison to like 60 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: Garret Nussmeyer, who look behind the scenes. When I talked 61 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: to like different talent evaluators, everyone was like afraid to 62 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 4: say it publicly, but they kind of like gushed about him. 63 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 4: They loved nus Marcel read, hands down outplayed him. It 64 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 4: wasn't even close, Like wasn't even close. This past week. 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 4: So if that gives you any indication of what is 66 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: going to happen in the draft next year, I would 67 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: say this draft is by the way as open as 68 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 4: it's ever been for like, who potentially could be that 69 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: number one overall pick right now? 70 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: I just think that it is a very, very volatile 71 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: time to be a coach at the college level at 72 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: a major university with a large contract. It's a it's 73 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: a it's a volatile time, and it's it's a unsettling 74 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: time because in il transfer portal, all of these elements, 75 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: added extra elements of being able to pay players players 76 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: being able to transfer, is now turning into a job 77 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: that I don't I don't believe. I don't believe that 78 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: most of the coaches in the coaching industry have been 79 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: properly trained or equipped on being able to I don't 80 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: know how you could be properly trained and equipped to 81 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: be able to handle where we are right now, so 82 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: to be able to get a team to play well, 83 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: play at a high level, stick together from season to season. 84 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: You know, these are these are the pressures that that 85 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: these coaches are facing these days, and you're starting to 86 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: see those cracks show you know, you're starting to you're 87 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: starting to see a lot of the characteristics of what 88 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: comes with when it's pay for play, and that's how 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: I see it. 90 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 4: I think with Brian Kelly it was different because, like 91 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: you did, the impression that like he made when he 92 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 4: first got there, right, and everyone kind of thought that 93 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 4: was cringe. It really like he's trying to be someone 94 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 4: he's not and he's almost like got this imposter syndrome. 95 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 4: And then as you saw, I mean, at least early on, 96 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 4: they were kind of close, but they could never quite 97 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 4: get over the hump to win the SEC or to 98 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 4: get in the college Football Playoff. And one of the 99 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 4: things that a lot of Notre Dame fans witnessed and saws, 100 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 4: they always felt like there was more room for him 101 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 4: to do more in recruiting and all that. Morgus Freeman 102 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: has without a doubt proven that since he's taken over 103 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 4: as head coach, with the way he's grinded, the way 104 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 4: he's recruitered and built. 105 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 5: That roster at Notre Dame. 106 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 4: For Brian Kelly, it's actually been the exact opposite of 107 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 4: what I think LSU fans were getting. Not only did 108 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 4: it not get enough wins in the win column in 109 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 4: comparison to ed Orgeron or Been less Miles in their 110 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: first four years. But also if you look at the 111 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 4: recruiting rankings, like they've they've legitimately had taken a step back. 112 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 4: If you go through the first four years of Brian 113 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 4: Kelly's recruiting tenure or I guess it's four years he's 114 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: it was at LSU, they were averaging about eight point 115 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 4: five as far as their team recruiting ranks. It's for 116 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 4: high school student athletes. And again it's you can't use 117 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 4: ANIO in the transfer portal because obviously ed Orgeron less 118 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 4: Miles didn't have them. 119 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 5: But ed Oseron was averaged about six. 120 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 4: You know, that was usual where his class was not higher, 121 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 4: and in fact he had classes that were in the 122 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 4: top five over the like those six years, in four 123 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 4: of the six so they were actually above that. They 124 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 4: only had really one down year less Miles his last 125 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: six years he averaged a little it was like a 126 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 4: little over seven, but same thing, he averaged more often 127 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: than not a class that was like in the top six. 128 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 4: You know, half that time, Brian Kelly's only had one 129 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 4: top five class in the four years he's been in 130 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 4: there now. His transfer portal class was the best of 131 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 4: any this offseason. But I'm always a leery of like 132 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 4: throwing that out there sometimes because it doesn't necessarily always 133 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: equate to wins. It just means you bought enough players 134 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 4: who are talented enough and have been proven enough. But 135 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 4: you know, obviously the team they're leaving either doesn't have 136 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: the funds to keep them or they don't want to 137 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 4: pay them to keep them. Like, let's be real about that. 138 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 4: Some of these teams are okay letting go of players. 139 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: They're asking for these astronomical numbers, where other teams are saying, like, 140 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 4: we'll take that. That's a dire need for us. And 141 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 4: we see this happen all the time in the NFL 142 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: and free agency. Teams let a player go, someone else 143 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 4: overpays and the guy might have a good year or two, 144 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 4: but he never usually equates to that contract. And that's 145 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: what you're seeing at the college football level. That's what 146 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 4: you're seeing from you know, LSU this year. Now, the 147 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 4: great of their defense has been improved from what it 148 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 4: was a year ago. They got awful last year, but 149 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 4: it hasn't equated to them being a better team. And 150 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: so to the point about money, Like, what I find 151 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 4: most interesting in that I've you know, talking to some 152 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: different coaches and guys who have different feelings on this is, 153 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 4: you know, Philip Foehmer signed the first deal that was 154 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 4: like a million bucks per year to go coach at Tennessee. 155 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 4: And I bet if you did a study on the 156 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: timeline now for college football coaches since that point and 157 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: you did the twenty years thirty years prior, you probably 158 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 4: saw a lot more turnover because I think with these 159 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: guys being paid more money, there's more there's higher expectations, 160 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 4: and with those higher expectations when when things don't work out, 161 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 4: especially early on or when you've got you know, this 162 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 4: imposter syndrome where he says, you know, something weird like that, 163 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: or he's dancing with the recruit that he doesn't end 164 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 4: up even signing, or he's chewing out his players, or he's. 165 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 5: Getting kg with the media. 166 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 4: Like there's so many things that Brian Kelly has done 167 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 4: over his time at LSU that let him not to 168 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 4: be likable, like as a notre dame, a lum and 169 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 4: fan obviously, and someone who is the day he literally 170 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: left to say he could go win championships elsewhere and 171 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 4: started a collective like in twenty four hours after that. Like, 172 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 4: the one thing I'd say that is the starkest contrast 173 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 4: between Marcus Fraan and Brian Kelly is Marcus is incredibly likable. 174 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 4: He's genuine and likable. Brian Kelly hasn't comed off as 175 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 4: either of those at any point, neither genuine or likable. 176 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 4: And I think when you don't have the success on 177 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 4: the field and you obviously don't want to work at 178 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 4: it and recruit the way your predecessors have or even 179 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: the guy who replaced you, a notre dame has, it 180 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 4: becomes really revealing. LSU is not devoid of talent. Neuss 181 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 4: Meyer can play. They've got talent on that team. There's 182 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 4: no doubt about it. They'll have some first round picks. 183 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 4: The head coach was problem m. 184 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, they struggling in Boulder too. I wonder how that 185 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: that's that's gonna go. I just I just think that 186 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: this this coaching world we're in right now at the 187 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: college level is going. You're and you're right, it is going. 188 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: It is about how the guy is perceived. Like Marcus 189 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: Freeman is is a likable guy. He does check off 190 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: the boxes. Good looking dude, speaks well, played the game, 191 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, has has all the the attributes, has a 192 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: good looking family. He he stays in shape. Like it's 193 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: crazy to think all these little things matter moving forward. 194 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: You can't be a fat, slobbingly looking guy. And and 195 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: when like I know, Elko is like on that borderline 196 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: of I'm sad, damn, but you had better. You had 197 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: better have a superpower if you're not checking off some 198 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: of the obvious, some of the obvious things that are 199 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: on the checklist of being a college coach, had a 200 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: major blue chip and you know, superpower in football. 201 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: And the problem for Brian, Kelly and Brady alluded to 202 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: it was if you think about his tenure at LSU, 203 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: you don't think about any of the big wins, You 204 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 3: think about the fake Cajun accent, you think about the 205 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: outbursts going after Davos Swiney, just like none of it 206 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 3: is on the field and none of it is performance based. 207 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: He just comes across really unlikable, Like he's a really 208 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 3: unlikable guy. And that's why, you know LSU fans were 209 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 3: chanting it, and you know he's four years in. It's 210 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: not like he didn't win games. It's just he didn't 211 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 3: live up to the expectations that were there. And when 212 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: he came in, there was all this conversation the yeah, 213 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: the video with the recruit like, it's just the whole 214 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: thing was odd and it never seemed like And that's 215 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 3: why I under was it just a money thing that 216 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: he left Notre Dame. Was there talk about Notre Dame 217 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 3: wanting to split with Brian Kelly or was it just 218 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 3: him simply seeing a better offer and he wanted to 219 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: jump ship and go get more money? 220 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 5: All right? 221 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 4: So one of the things that I think becomes wearing 222 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 4: for athletic directors. 223 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 5: And this is just my general observation of what I 224 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 5: see in this space. 225 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: This is not like specific to any university or any 226 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 4: athletic director, but there's been a power shift in this 227 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: NIL era because. 228 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 5: The the you know, the board of regents or whatever. 229 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: Prominent alum who's got the deep pockets that's bank rolling 230 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 4: usually the collective or how this is operating. 231 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 5: You know, they're in essence kind of controlling the whole thing. 232 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 4: Right, They're the guy who's going to buy out the 233 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 4: coach or write the biggest check if they're trying to 234 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 4: buy out that coach. They're the guy that's going to 235 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 4: write the check to go find that top player they 236 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 4: need or retain a place player if they're trying to leave. 237 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 4: And so it's almost bypassed now the athletic director, who's 238 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 4: the guy who's in the position to oversee a coach 239 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 4: that's making five times what he's making. Like the entire 240 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 4: process is flipped. 241 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 5: You know. 242 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 4: When you look at the structure of an NFL organization, 243 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 4: usually the general manager and the head coach are somewhat 244 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 4: on even footing, you know, and maybe that's not going 245 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 4: to be so much the case of what the coach 246 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 4: is being paid or compensated, but it's not that far off. 247 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 5: There is a huge. 248 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 4: Contrast between what the athletic director is being compensated and 249 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 4: then what the head coach is being compensated for some 250 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 4: of these top programs now, and the problem that creates 251 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 4: is is as long as that deep pocketed donor, as 252 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 4: long as he's got you know, the head coach has 253 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 4: his ear, it's really all that matters. Because that athletic 254 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 4: director is not going to bite the hand that feeds him, 255 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 4: and that's that that's that alum. So like I look 256 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 4: at it in this case and I just I sit 257 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: there and say, if you look at a bunch of 258 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: the different circumstances that have happened, it's oftentimes out of these, 259 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 4: you know, whoever that alum is, whoever that donor is, 260 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 4: that's essentially calling the shots and saying. 261 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 5: Nope, we're done. 262 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: Like this got to the point at LSU where the 263 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 4: governor of the state of Louisiana was involved. 264 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 5: Think about that for a second. 265 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 4: Like You've got the governor of the state of Louisiana 266 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 4: as involved in the in the firing of a head 267 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 4: coach in college football. 268 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: The state employee, Right, So l s U is a 269 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: public school, correct it is? Yeah, and then that's that's 270 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: that's the that's probably their hide employee for the employee. 271 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 5: But that's a typical you don't hear about that very often. 272 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: And and that's what makes it kind of unique, is 273 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 4: like there's obviously a lot of again deep pocketed donors 274 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 4: and a lums who wanted this to happen. They didn't 275 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 4: want to watch whatever is going to occur in Alabama. 276 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: What in a couple of weeks when they've got to 277 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: play him, they wanted him out now, and they want 278 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 4: to start that process. It's going to be a competitive process. 279 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 4: You have Penn State, You've got Florida. You know some 280 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 4: are gonna you know, argue and jockey over will what's 281 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 4: the better job? Right, Lane Kiffin just keeps sitting there 282 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 4: winning a whole miss and he looks. 283 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 5: Newer and better looking, and he does. 284 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 4: I think it's Tan's gotten better, his teeth got wider, Like, 285 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 4: he just keeps looking better and better right the longer 286 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 4: this whole thing plays on. 287 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 5: And the interesting thing. 288 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: About that, ye hey, you look good to me. I 289 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: ain't just saying geez. 290 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 4: I just think that's the biggest change right now in 291 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 4: college football that no one wants to really acknowledge is 292 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 4: the person with the most power is someone who is 293 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 4: not even necessarily operating within the confines of these this 294 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 4: college structure. 295 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 5: And that's just the truth. 296 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 4: Like it's the deep pocketed donor someone on the outside 297 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 4: is running a business, has a ton of money that 298 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: loves his school and wants to see them succeed. 299 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 5: And that's ultimately who's controlling it. Now. 300 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 4: We can say the athletic directors running the search firm 301 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 4: and all this stuff and it's you know, connecting the few. 302 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: But you better go get that guy to check off 303 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 4: the box of whoever you're gonna hire, otherwise you're not 304 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 4: getting that check. 305 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: I think that this next round of coaches that will 306 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: eventually circulate through all of these schools, I don't think 307 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: anyone is safe. If you're in the SEC and you're 308 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: in the Big ten, I don't think any coach is safe. 309 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: And I don't know how how long some of these 310 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: coaches will be in pockety. 311 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 4: Think about like Michigan State, melt Tucker signed a huge deal, 312 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 4: right what Jonathan Smith get paid to go there, and 313 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 4: they're talking about he's maybe not gonna make it. I 314 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 4: mean now, no, granted, that's kind of the going great 315 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 4: or price. And what's crazy about this is if you're 316 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 4: a really good football coach and you're at any one 317 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 4: of these schools, you're getting paid more because everyone's trying 318 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 4: to poach you in every universe. He has to sit 319 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 4: there and be like, well, we got to pay him more. 320 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 4: So when you go back to like what happened with 321 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 4: Brian Kelly every single year, it becomes really difficult for 322 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 4: that athletic director because if you're a good football. 323 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 5: Coach and you're one of the top programs. 324 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 4: The NFL is gonna come after you, other college program's 325 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 4: gonna come after you. So what do you think that 326 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 4: agent's doing for his coach. He's saying, hey, man, they 327 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 4: want to pay him this. I want to pay him this. 328 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 4: So as an athletic direct, you're gonna go back to 329 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 4: the donor. You're gonna go back to the school and say, 330 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: we got to pay more. We got to pay more. 331 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 4: Every year, every year there's someone coming after him, whether 332 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 4: it's from above or level playing field in that league, 333 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 4: like someone's trying to pay him more. That gets wearing. 334 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 4: I mean after a while too, you kind of have 335 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 4: to look at it and say, like, all right, like 336 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 4: where are we at? And you know, could we find 337 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 4: someone who we feel like could do an equal, if 338 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 4: not better job. And in regards to Brian Kelly and 339 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 4: you know, Lincoln Riley, we talked about this. They both 340 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 4: had the same agent at the time. I don't think 341 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 4: Lincoln Riley's represented by Trace Armstrong anymore. But you know, 342 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 4: those deals were kind of set in place and they 343 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 4: kind of swapped and they ended up Boere they ended 344 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 4: up and I don't know that Southern calor LSU was 345 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 4: happy with what they signed up for, what they're paying. 346 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 4: You know, obviously LSU is not, but what Southern Cal's paying, 347 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 4: even Lincoln Riley and what they're getting out of that, 348 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 4: they got. 349 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 5: A tough one. This figures versus Nebraska. 350 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 4: They're favorited, but it's been actually a crazy spot where 351 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 4: you know, when when Lincoln Riley's been favored as a 352 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 4: s C, you know. 353 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 5: They've struggled on the road. I think like he's. 354 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 4: Won like three times or whatever, or I should say 355 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: covered like three times, and I think two of those 356 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 4: versus U see a at the Rose Bowl, like I mean, 357 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 4: so I think they're laying they're laying seven points right 358 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 4: now and they're playing in Lincoln this week. 359 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 5: Has it been a good spot for him? 360 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: I just think it creates such a dilemma, such a 361 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: dilemma because you gotta basically, in essence, walk up to 362 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: these coaches with a blank check in order to be 363 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: able to get them to come coach your team. You 364 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: gotta go to them with the blank check in order 365 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: to get them to leave where they're at or to 366 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: get them to come where you are over another school. 367 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: And then you're locked in with them and you got 368 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: to do a buyout. Like it's it's a horrible time 369 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: in my estimation for coaches in terms of stability and 370 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: being able to stay out of place for an extended 371 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: amount of time. I'm not sure how that you know 372 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: how that will play out in terms of long tenured coaches. 373 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: But what we do know is is that there will 374 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: be a lot of guys getting very wealthy in the 375 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: coaching field that will be basically bouncing around or you know, 376 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: I guess it's it's in contracts that they have to 377 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: within what is it, like good good faith go seek 378 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: a different job. 379 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 5: There's and that actually applies to James Franklin. 380 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 4: He's got mitigation in his contract, so like as soon 381 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 4: as he got fired, he hasked to publicly say like, yeah, 382 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 4: I can't wait to go coach. 383 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 5: Somewhere else, right, because he has to actively seek to 384 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 5: go coach. 385 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, So, and I don't even know how that's going 386 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: to offset what these guys are signing in terms of 387 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: guaranteed contracts for the amount of time that they're signing him. Otherwise, 388 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: the coach says, Hey, I'm gonna just go over here, 389 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: and and these schools are now in position where they're 390 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: going to be leveraged exactly. I mean that's always been 391 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: how it is, leverage the next school to use it 392 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: against this school to get what it is that you want. 393 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: But I think it's even worse now. 394 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 4: Well, because there's so many like there's obviously if you 395 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 4: compare it to the NFL, you know, and this is 396 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 4: where like the economics start to play a factor. Right, 397 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 4: So the NFL generates about ten billion annually from its 398 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 4: TV media rights deal, the big ten I believe is 399 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: the most expensive as of now that they generate about 400 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 4: over a billion, So there's there's a ten time difference 401 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 4: between the two. So NFL teams can largely move on 402 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 4: from a staff because it's not just the head coach. 403 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 4: You know, you're signing up your coordinators to these handsome 404 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 4: deals too. But they can move on from them and 405 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 4: kind of start over because they are generating so much revenue, 406 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 4: not just for the TV media rights deal, but just 407 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 4: to give it a comparison, you know. For and by 408 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: the way, like think about the difference in well, they 409 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 4: play seventeen games, so they're getting eight or nine home 410 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 4: games a year, right with college football. You're hopefully getting 411 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 4: that maybe with a playoff game, but you know, usually 412 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 4: it's not that many home games, so you're not getting 413 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 4: as much ticket sales as concessions all that. You know, 414 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 4: these schools aren't making quite as much from their TV 415 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 4: media rights deal. Whatever the revenue share breakdown is for 416 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 4: the Big Ten for each team, you can do them 417 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 4: on that or you know, Notre Dame is a good 418 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 4: example because it's the only team and I think they're 419 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 4: getting a little over a fifty some million a year 420 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 4: for NBC and then they get partial rev share from 421 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 4: the ACC. So when you talk about like stroking a 422 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 4: check for fifty some million, and that's just the head coach, 423 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 4: that's not the coordinators too. 424 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 425 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 4: Now, granted they're not quite to that extent. Like but 426 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 4: for example, Penn State Noles wasn't cheap cold, he wasn't cheap. 427 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: Yes, not at all. 428 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 4: You start looking at the numbers they add up and 429 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 4: you go, all right, how are we going to do this? 430 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 4: Like are we able to tap into the endowment? Now 431 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 4: that might be a conversation for down the road, but 432 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 4: you know, typically endowed funds they've got a general purpose. 433 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: You know, there is it, or I should say general, 434 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 4: there's a specific purpose, and so those funds have to 435 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 4: be allocated towards you know where those funds were designated. Now, 436 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 4: now again there's some gray area there, and somebody who's 437 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 4: smarter than I am would tell you how that works. 438 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 4: But you know, there's the problem trying to point out 439 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 4: as the business model. You know, the college schools aren't 440 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 4: equipped yet to be able to handle the turnover that 441 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 4: we're seeing. And that's why I keep going back to 442 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 4: it's not that the school probably doesn't want to be 443 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 4: in this position. It's the donors and the alums, like 444 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 4: they're the ones with the money, where the school just says, okay, 445 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 4: you want, I'm gone write to check like like help 446 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,719 Speaker 4: us out then, because otherwise we're in a really, really 447 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 4: tough spot. And they'll just threaten and say, well I'm 448 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: not going to donate that. It's like, well, okay, but 449 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 4: then we can't move on from them. So we're gonna 450 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 4: be in the same position every year until you do something. 451 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 4: You get a group of people want to do something 452 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 4: to be the difference. I mean, there's some wild conversations 453 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 4: that are happening right now behind the scenes. 454 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, creating a lot of opportunities for business people too. 455 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: I mean especially like former students and stuff like that 456 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: that have always dreamed about being a part of the 457 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: program at a higher level. Like a lot a lot 458 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: of those dudes. Was his name Shapiro? Is that is 459 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: his name? The guy the guy that was out of 460 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: Miamivan Shapiro, like those, There's going to be a lot 461 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: of them popping up a lot, like a lot of 462 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: groupies popping up. This is gonna be interesting to see, man, 463 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: because the access is actually so phenomenal right now, based 464 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: upon what the conversation has just been. It's crazy, man. 465 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: Hey you know it's college sports now. Yeah, Well tell 466 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: you what.

Did the oh yeah, oh wow, 508 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 3: did the Baltimore Ravens saved their season yesterday with that win? 509 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: Because it kind of feels for a week, right, I mean, 510 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: that was a super big, big game for them, and 511 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: that was it was not looking good knowing that Lamar 512 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 1: Jackson wasn't going to play. You know, I don't know 513 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: how much confidence you know, one would have in the 514 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: ability to win a game of this magnitude not having 515 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: your your star quarterback in so but it was a 516 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: big win because they bought themselves some time. And look 517 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: the Beers, honestly, they're they're not a bad team like 518 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: they they look pretty pretty decent, Like they were competitive, 519 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm chunks. 520 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 3: Caleb Williams has gotten worse like as the season's gone on, 521 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 3: and and people will go, well, whatever the Cowboys game, 522 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 3: everybody throws for record yards against the Cowboys. 523 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 4: Or defense, their defense is so bad. They're so bad 524 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 4: at Dallas. It's awful. 525 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's bad. 526 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know how you don't make a 527 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 4: change at some point soon. 528 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, But I do believe that the Ravens 529 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: they're they're far from out of the woods. 530 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 3: I thought I was going to get away with one 531 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 3: because we were we were working under the impression that 532 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson was going to be available because it was 533 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 3: trending that way. And you know, he uh practiced as 534 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 3: a full participant on Friday, and then afterwards retroactively the 535 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 3: Ravens listed him as limited. 536 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: The following day. They looked at the beers, they were like, 537 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: you know what, we could get through this one with 538 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: snoop snoop, So come on, gonna do it. 539 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 4: Who messed up though? Was the training staff? Was it 540 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 4: the head coat? I mean, who messed up on this one? 541 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 3: John Harbaugh spoke about the quote unquote mix up after 542 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 3: the game yesterday. 543 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 5: Does a coach what. 544 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 8: You do is you you ask, you might you know, 545 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 8: how is he doing? That's about as much as you 546 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 8: do how are we doing? And when do you think? 547 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 8: And then you get the guys ready that are going 548 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 8: to play. Then when the guys come back to practice, 549 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 8: you put them in there, you practice, And that's how 550 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 8: it works. On the coaching side, coaches are involved with 551 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 8: you know, statuses and whether guys player or not. That's 552 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 8: not a coaching decision. 553 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 3: I mean, they don't have any say or any in 554 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 3: but on what's going on or how that whole thing 555 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: lays out. I know he's coming. I know they've got 556 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 3: a short week because they're playing the Dolphins this week, 557 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 3: and so I could understand the idea that, well, look 558 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 3: it's a short week, you know why rushing back here? 559 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 3: You know haven't written. But there are seasons on the 560 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 3: line with every game. And I just wonder how many 561 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 3: people there like maybe Lamar was like, no, I'm not ready, 562 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 3: and they thought he was. And so he's just gonna 563 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 3: focus on Miami on this short week as opposed to 564 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 3: play the Bears. 565 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 1: Seemingly he could take another week to get healthier. I mean, 566 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: you don't want to risk it, and like you could 567 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: brag about being a good enough team where you can't 568 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: you don't have to play your start quarterback. I mean 569 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: they're at two wins. It's all hands on deck at 570 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: this point. 571 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: They're for sure gonna get fined, Like the organization's gonna 572 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 3: get fined. 573 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 4: Well, they should get fined. I mean, it's not that complicated. 574 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 4: Either he was a full participant or he wasn't. Coming 575 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 4: from someone who fully expected Lamar Jackson to play, I 576 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 4: was shocked, like this almost. I mean, this usually doesn't 577 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 4: happen in the NFL. There's rare instances when it does, 578 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 4: or maybe there's a setback or something. This they just 579 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 4: try to be like, oh yeah, sorry, are bad. 580 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 5: It's bush league, man. 581 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of people. 582 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 4: There's a lot of people out there, like Jonas Knox 583 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 4: who that might have persuaded their bet to take the Chicago. 584 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 5: Bears for some reason, not sure why. 585 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 3: Like that's sitting at six and a half after that 586 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 3: news came out and the line dropped, and I'm thinking, man, 587 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 3: at time of the pick, we got it as six 588 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: and a half, and then it didn't matter. 589 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: It just didn't matter. 590 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 5: It's a just just the Bears aren't good. Is that 591 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 5: what you're saying? 592 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: They can't throw the ball the job? I say their 593 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: defense is pretty dang good man. They're aggressive. I thought 594 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: I thought there were a lot of calls that went 595 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: against them, you know, and in that game, but I mean, 596 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: I thought they were pretty competitive. I don't. I don't 597 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 1: believe the score is indicative of what this Bears team is. 598 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: And I think that if they were to correct some 599 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: of the things that they're defiiching in with with Williams, 600 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 1: I think they're like their team that can win, like 601 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: I do. I think their team that is actually possibly 602 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: developing into a team that can win, like I maybe 603 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: you didn't like it the way, uh, you know, Caleb 604 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: Williams looked, but I didn't think the team look looked 605 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: bad at all. And they listen. I know Lamar Jackson 606 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: wasn't in the game, but I thought they played played 607 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: fairly well. 608 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: So they beat the Raiders on a block kick, they 609 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 3: beat the Commanders because they were just giving away the football, 610 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 3: and then they beat the Saints and offensively they were 611 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 3: not good in that game. Like that's just and the 612 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 3: Cowboys stink. 613 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. 614 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 3: I don't see it, like and listen, I would love 615 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 3: to look at this and go, oh, you know they're 616 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 3: gonna be a wildcard teams. I'm pretty sure I had 617 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 3: them as a wildcard team with our picks before year. 618 00:31:58,720 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: Which is embarrassing. 619 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 5: That's a Bears fan right there. 620 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 3: But I just it doesn't It doesn't look like Caleb 621 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 3: Williams is getting better. It looks like it's either stagnant 622 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 3: or maybe a little bit worse as the seasons. 623 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: I think that's harsh. 624 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 4: Can I Can I say this though, I'm not rooting 625 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 4: against the Bears or or for them not to have 626 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 4: success for any other reason other than to me, it's 627 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 4: funnier when Jonas loses. 628 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 5: I don't know why. 629 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 4: He's just one of the we all have buddies who 630 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 4: it's it's just funny when they lose, and so you 631 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 4: kind of root for them to lose. 632 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 5: To see how they will react. 633 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 4: Like Vart like he somehow has this like voodoo where 634 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 4: he just like squashes it. 635 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 5: So it's not even fun. 636 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 4: It's like, all right, whatever, like we'll just see what 637 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 4: happens Jonas.

But there's a there's like a small part 640 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 4: of him that loves being miserable and like rooting for 641 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 4: bad teams. So he just has something to like complain about. Well, 642 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 4: and so it's actually fun to root against anything that 643 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 4: Jonas is rooting for outside of his son, Like we're 644 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 4: all rooting for a son. 645 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: It's comfortable. It's comfortable. I know that. 646 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 5: I know that. 647 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: It's comfortable. That must suck. 648 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 3: Listen, man, you grow up a Cubs fan, like God 649 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 3: taps you on the shoulder and says it's gonna get 650 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 3: worse every. 651 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 4: Single year, and it usually got a world serious in 652 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 4: your lifetime, pal, all right, Not many people can say that. 653 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, And how did they celebrate it. 654 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 3: They took a power washer and hosed off all the 655 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 3: nice signings on the side of Wrigley Field. Like fans 656 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 3: are writing a dear Grandpa. They're thinking to you, uh, 657 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 3: this is this is for you. That mean writing in 658 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 3: chalk all over the side of Wrigley Field, and some 659 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 3: guy walks out with a powerwasher two days later and 660 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 3: hoses his Yeah, listen, that's that's just their world. But 661 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 3: you know, now we get to see uh Lamar Jackson 662 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 3: presumably show. 663 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: On the Baltimore was a one win team. Yeah, up 664 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: until yesterday, that was our super Bowl pick. LeVar, Like, 665 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: can you let that sink in forward that if I 666 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: told you there, if I told you coming into the 667 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: season that in week seven, Week seven, the Ravens would 668 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: have one victory in a game where which I don't 669 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: even know that you say it's a must win situation 670 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: because I don't see how they can make it to 671 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: the playoffs where they're at currently, Like I I guess 672 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: they can. I see that they can, But can you 673 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: really like you're one in your one in five, like, 674 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: I don't see you. I mean, I guess you could 675 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 1: make a run for it. You could make a run 676 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: for it, But that's a whole lot of going on 677 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: a heater and they haven't shown that they're a be 678 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: a heater team. I just I think that's strange, man. 679 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: I think some of these teams that seemingly have taken 680 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: step steps back this year. I think this is probably 681 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: outside of New England. This is probably the biggest surprise 682 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: to me, the fact that New England is doing as 683 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: well as they're doing. 684 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 5: Some people try to tell you. 685 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 1: Some of you guys did try to try to tell 686 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: you you're right. I don't listen. I don't disagree. 687 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 4: Have you already waved the white flag on that on 688 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 4: New England? 689 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: I'm impressed. I'm impressed Cake down the streets. I'm impressed 690 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: he's playing well. I've been impressed with that team. They 691 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: look like a team that can be reckoned with. You 692 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: know what's creative bout Drake May. This is going to 693 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,720 Speaker 1: continue because Josh McDaniels is never going to get another 694 00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: head coaching opportunity. But it's the truth. He's not going 695 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: to so. 696 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 5: He's always young. 697 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 3: He's just going to be the offensive coordinator for the 698 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 3: Patriots for as long as he wants it, and Drake 699 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 3: May is gonna have consistent play calling with the same 700 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 3: guy for the foreseeable future. 701 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 4: Josh McDaniels is only forty nine years old. Yeah, I know, 702 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 4: but he could he could be the OC for the 703 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 4: next like six seven years. And you know how this 704 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 4: league is. If they're winning Super Bowls, he's winning MVP, 705 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 4: someone's gonna be like, hey man, think about hiring Josh McDaniels. 706 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 4: They'll be like, does he have a resume. No, no, 707 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 4: I can't remember anything he did before before Drake Man. 708 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well they do that. I'm kidding. 709 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 5: I mean, look and he's got he's got as an 710 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 5: oc a great resume. 711 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: It's just. 712 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 5: I'll also say this, I don't. 713 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 4: Know that you should hold that over a head coach's 714 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 4: head only because like, think about think about what the 715 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 4: Raiders are now hasn't been great. You know, the Broncos 716 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 4: were in a tough period of time and that was 717 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 4: a really short stint. Like the first year, man, they 718 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 4: were awesome. 719 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 5: To watch for me, Daniels. Yeah, you know, after that, 720 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 5: it just things kind of went a little Haywater. 721 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: What do you start six? And oh started six? 722 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 5: And oh Man beat New England. 723 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 4: They had those old school unithos throwback, which, by the way, 724 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 4: come on, man, Pittsburgh. I just I know that's everyone 725 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 4: makes a big deal about these like throwback traditional uniforms. 726 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 3: There's a reason they switched over from those like those 727 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 3: are softfully yeah awful. 728 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's been better if they put some Louisiana 729 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: hot sauce on them uniforms though, I'm telling you make 730 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: everything better. It's the perfect balance of peppers, vinegar, salt. 731 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: You could throw it on ugly uniforms. You can throw 732 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: it on wings, nachos, burgers, it don't matter. Hit any 733 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: tailgate food with it because you got that bold, handcrafted 734 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: flavor of the original Louisiana Hot sauce.

And it's chewed through, and I'm thinking to myself, Okay, 763 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 4: this has to be some sort of rodent mouse. But 764 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 4: I was like, man, my mouse is gonna be chewed 765 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 4: through like wires like that. So I think it like 766 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 4: a rat. And as I'm looking around more and more, 767 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, I'm looking at what it got into. 768 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 4: And so I'm sort of say, okay, I need to 769 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 4: clear out the garage see if whatever is got in 770 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 4: is still here. 771 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,399 Speaker 5: Now obviously, how did it get there. 772 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,399 Speaker 4: Well, my wife likes to leave the garage door open 773 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 4: for like hours upon hours at times of the year 774 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 4: where it's not smart. So that's most likely the culprit, 775 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 4: because there's no like hole in the exterior or something. 776 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 4: So as I'm clearing this stuff out, I see this 777 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 4: little furry fellow and he's not really that little. I'm 778 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 4: looking underneath and I still to this day do not 779 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 4: know if it's a beaver or a gopher. But because 780 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 4: it's got kind of great hair, it's definitely not a groundhog. 781 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 4: I know that, I know that, But what what? I 782 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 4: ended up trying to flush it out to one side 783 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 4: of the garage to then push it out this one 784 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 4: garage door. Well, it darted back towards my wife as 785 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 4: she's watching this, and instead of like trying to stand 786 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 4: her ground and like shoe it a certain direction, she 787 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 4: runs to run behind her car that's parked in the garage. 788 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 5: So what does it do? 789 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,919 Speaker 4: It runs up underneath and crawls up up up under there. 790 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 4: So then she looks at. 791 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 5: Me, she's like, well, what do I do? 792 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 4: I go, well, back it out of the garage, like 793 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,439 Speaker 4: I'm not I don't want that to sit in here. 794 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 4: So then it was like we're trying to spray it 795 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 4: and see if it came down. She drove it around. 796 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 4: I don't even know it could still be up underneath 797 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 4: the car. 798 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: We have no idea. Oh wow, yeah, that's an I 799 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: are for certain a car might be on ir at 800 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: some point. Your car's got beaver. That road in is 801 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: going beyond our big car. That's the right wire in there. 802 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: That a do it, folks, nice beaver dank
