So we 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: have a new football podcast called Whistles, and the reason 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: is it's because we're doing twenty five episodes and then 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: it's just gonna die. And isn't that just a metaphor 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: for life. We live, we love, and then we die. 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: That's kind of sad, but that's what's happening here twenty 9 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: five Whistles. We're talking in college football NFL. And so 10 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: this is an episode that this was our starter episode 11 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: and the goal is in like five episodes, to be 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: embarrassed of this episode because it was so bad compared 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: to what we're doing now.

So 58 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: we'll go around there and first up, the question will 59 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: be who is your favorite football player as a kid. 60 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: So think about that for a second. Your favorite player 61 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: as a kid. First up, Adam Handbrick. Adam your favorite 62 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: football player as a child, Smithy, I grew up a 63 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: Cowboys fan. Yeah, you know, the the other Cowboys get 64 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: the traditional TV coverage in Arkansas, and that's who was 65 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: on and that's who my dad was a fan of, 66 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: and so I was. I got duped into being a 67 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys fan when they were winning all those Super Bowls 68 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: and the nineties Eddie Joe Montana. So before I was 69 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 1: there a Cowboys hear me, Before I was a Cowboys fan, 70 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: I was the Ford Niners fan obviously, because Joe Montana 71 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: and Jared Rice and all those dudes were just dominating. 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: And then once Joe Montana went to the Chiefs retired, 73 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: bah blah, I was like, I need a team, and 74 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: so my mom was really into the Cowboys. Obviously I'm 75 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: from South Texas. Let's go Cowboys and we started winning. 76 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: That's my team now. But you can't really change teams. 77 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Well you're not, as I literally thought you were a 78 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: much like deeper Cowboys fan. Yeah, I feel borderland trade Listen, 79 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: you can't trade teams. Listen. When you're a kid, you 80 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: like who you like and at that time it's just 81 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: whoever is winning it. I don't have a team, like 82 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: can you imagine. I can't imagine me a Ford Niners 83 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: fans still like that. That's ridiculous. I'm not from California, Texas, 84 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: but I'm surprised you just warn't as a kid, I 85 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: guess that's what I'm saying. Are there any I heart 86 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Texans fans? I mean, like, unless you like live there 87 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: and you're like soup, you know that would be I 88 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: remember as a kid kid maybe a Texans fan because 89 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: they grew up there. I remember as a kid there 90 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: were a lot of Oilers, like it was split Cowboys. 91 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: Oilers and Cowboys weren't I mean, stop back. Those were 92 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: great days for them. But I think there were more 93 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: Oilers fans when Texans took over. I mean I didn't 94 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: know anybody kick off Kevin Your favorite football player as 95 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: a kid as a kid? Um, well, either one would 96 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: be Tom Brady, but he's still playing, so I'll go 97 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: with Randy Moss. That's crazy. I was nine. Do you 98 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: have such a beer and big muscles? How old are 99 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: you at a young age? No? You do not do 100 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: that's all. Yeah, like the oil fields for like twenty years. 101 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: Is that a good thing? That's a good thing. That's 102 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: a good thing. He's like se Kwan Barkley as a kid, 103 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: like Joe Burrow. Mike d favorite football player as a 104 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: kid Troy Aikman. Okay, that's a good one. How old 105 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: are you, Mike thirty one? There we go. There's like 106 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: a generation difference still on your favorite players, though, I 107 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: guess Tom Brady the first part of Tom Brady, Yeah, 108 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: like the earlier. But like I said, the first player 109 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: I remember liking was Randy Moss. Dear God, we have 110 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: three Cowboys fans here. It's a Cowboys show. Welcome to 111 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: the Cowboys club. Mine is boom Assayasin because when I 112 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: was a kid, he was the only left handed quarterback 113 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: that I really like, and in the Forts were winning, 114 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: so I didn't go with Steve Young and Joe Montana 115 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: was hit early in my early days. And then when 116 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: Steve Young became the quarterback and he was left handed, 117 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: I don't like a winner. I like somebody that's a 118 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: loser that becomes a winner. So I was a big 119 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals fan. I remember watching them beat by the 120 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: forty niners and being so sad. I cried. It was 121 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: it was awful. But Boomersia said he was my inspiration 122 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: until like seventh grade when I wasn't quarterback anymore. And 123 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: he also like went to the Jets. And there's a 124 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: whole weird thing. So but I don't have a team. 125 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't have an NFL team. I like a lot 126 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: of the NFL teams. I hate a few NFL teams, 127 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: mostly just the Cowboys. But and I don't even have 128 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: But I don't even hate him as much. I hated 129 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: a winner, so I hated the Cowboys all throughout the 130 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, mid to late nineties. We should love us now, well, yes, 131 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: you're a big losers. But you guys are so annoying. 132 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: So you say annoying, I say, we're very hopeful. But yeah, 133 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: it's a passion, hope because every start of the year 134 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: we're like, this is it, this is our year. But 135 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: I can appreciate that. I don't I like that about you, 136 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: but I can respect and also hate the passion. Hey, 137 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: is it too late for you to come up with 138 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: a favorite NFL team? Like? Um, I have a couple 139 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: of friends that play, and that makes it weird. Weish 140 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: we should take some tweets and like get people to 141 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: to for their teams. I don't give a crap. I'm 142 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: good watching. I'll watch fantasy. I'll root for the Titans 143 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: because they're close and there some people over there. I'll 144 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: follow Arkansas players like Traylon Brooks with the Titans. I'll 145 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: keep up with that. So okay. Second question, name a 146 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: dumb sports mascot? All right, name a dumb sports mascot.

High school was red Devils? 149 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: I get it when you pictured the devil, it's red, right, 150 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: But what's a blue Devils like the ice a devil? 151 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: Is that his?

We talked about it for 211 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: a long time and I said, I don't want to 212 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: commit to a show for all year. I don't know 213 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: who's gonna do it with me. I don't know if 214 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: we have the capat.

We'll probably do a little more than 218 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: one a week occasionally, but I said I'll do twenty 219 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: five and then we're retiring, and so that's why it's 220 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: twenty five. Whistles will build whistled into each show, episodes 221 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: over and then we're good. Episode two. That's it. Dan 222 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: Patrick coming up in a little bits. As I look 223 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: back at my favorite interviews ever and like the coolest ones. 224 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: I put Steven Tyler up there, half Hourady with John Mayer, 225 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: and I put Dan Patrick because I'm just a massive 226 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick fan. You guys thought it was cool, right 227 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: it was? It was awesome. So Dan Patrick coming up. 228 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: And obviously the first episode, we're gonna have Sam Pittman, 229 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: the Arkansas football head coach. We don't really talk about 230 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: Arkansas football, meaning we don't get in. It's mostly like 231 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: being an SEC coach, being famous, now in a town, 232 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: all of that. So we talked with Sam Pittman a 233 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: little bit. I was worried that when you book Sam Pittman, 234 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, here we go, it's gonna be an Arkansas podcast. 235 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: It easily could have been, but I didn't make it 236 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: that I It was could have been any SEC head coach, 237 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: but I just felt like I needed to go Pittman 238 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: because that's my guy, and I knew I could get 239 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: out just texted him, honestly, So next week and we 240 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: get the quarterbacks coach, you to play quarterback for it. 241 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: Logins coming on the polic All right, here's what we're 242 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna do. This is a little game we're gonna play 243 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: for the episodes that we do. You don't have to play, 244 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: but if you don't get in today, you can't play 245 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Oh my gosh. Right, So 246 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna play who Wins It All? So for one dollar. 247 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: For one dollar, you can buy a team in college 248 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: footb all you can somebody else can buy the same 249 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: team for one dollar. You can buy a team in 250 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: the NFL. Right now, you go who Wins it All? 251 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: Put a dollar in on it, and you can keep 252 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: that one dollar in it. Now, if you change your 253 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: pick at any time, you gotta double your dollar bet 254 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: to two dollars. You can change and pick another team. 255 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: So that being the case, we'll have to shut it 256 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: down at one point. Obviously. What figure out when that is? 257 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: Maybe it's new Year. Maybe it's because I just made 258 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: the scheme up last night. So I don't want you 259 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: guys to go beautiful mind to figure out how to 260 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: actually beat the system. So We're gonna play who wins 261 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: it all? Nobody got a heads up, But for one dollar, 262 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: you get to pick a team, and each one dollar college, 263 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: one dollar NFL, and we'll keep up with it. Um 264 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: does everybody want in for a dollar? It would be dumb. 265 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: Let's play who wins it all? And we'll check every 266 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: week if we wants to change your mind? Who wins 267 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: it all? In college football? Okay? Now, remember, if you 268 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: pick a big team, someone else might pick it with you. 269 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: You just can't come in on a team that's already 270 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: picked a week after. We're later. So if you pick 271 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: Alabama right now and you have been changing your mind 272 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: to go to somebody else, I can then go to Alabama. 273 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: But if you have it, I can't take Alabama later 274 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: because we gotta split the money up in a weird way. Also, 275 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: I'm making up the rules as I go. Right there. Okay, 276 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: let's play who wins it all? Adam Handbrike college football? 277 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: Who wins it all? Oh man, I'm gonna it's hard 278 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: to argue against Alabama. I'm gonna argue against Alabama though, 279 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: and take Ohio State just big. We can't. We can't 280 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: just have Alabama win it every year. You guys, well, 281 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean they didn't. I know, um, Eddie, give me 282 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: a dollar for Alabama? Okay, I mean why not was 283 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: guaranteed money? Man kick off? Kevin roll tied, I'm going Obama. Oky, 284 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: we got two Obamas. Mike d I'm going with Georgia. Okay, 285 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: you know what. First week, I'm also gonna go Alama. 286 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I do want, but I just want 287 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: to be differently. I don't want to go three deep 288 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: on Alabama. We should have all written it down before, 289 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: but I thought if I could read it, read you 290 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: just up. I know. But I'm just coming up with 291 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: the game as we go here. But yesterday he means, 292 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: like an hour ago, I'm gonna go with Alabama. After 293 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: all that thought, I still go to help. Okay, So 294 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: there we go. That's that's NFL. That money is at 295 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: one pot in FL. Ready, yea, let's go around the room, 296 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: pick your team and it'll cost you one dollar to 297 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: get in. Mike, do you get to go first? I'm 298 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: going with the Bucks kick off? Kevin. See you want 299 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: to go to the Bucks to Yeah, let's go to 300 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: the Bucks, big Adam. I'm going Bengals. Okay, yep, Eddie 301 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: a bunch of videots. It's a dollar. Give me the cowboys. 302 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: Give me the Cowboys. In week five, I'll probably change 303 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: another dollar. I didn't say when they started out over 304 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: for I'm gonna go with the packers so that you know, 305 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: you guys can't hop on the packers. So I'm gonna 306 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: sit on the packers for a little bit. I'll go 307 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: with the packers to win at all. Just we should 308 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: have like a jar and have actual dollar bills. We 309 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: should put it somewhere. But people steal from here. But 310 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: it's only against like five bucks, so it's like a 311 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: big deal. But everybody has, yes, everybody, everybody has two dollars. Yes, 312 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: So just so I'm clear on the rules. Can once 313 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: we pick a team, we can't and then we change 314 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: from that team, we can't come back to that team. 315 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: You can if nobody else is on it. If no 316 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: one else but like Alabama's already been packed, Alabama's on. 317 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: So it's long if one of you Alabamas or me 318 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: move off of it, as long as somebody's still on it, 319 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: it's not open to take. If everybody moves off, somebody 320 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: else can get back on. But if I were to 321 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: get in a week four, then the money's all weirdly 322 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: split up and we gotta do percentages. We got it, 323 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: and if I that's the rules and I don't, I 324 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: have to look back what I said. Okay, so we 325 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: all have our teams here. I do want to talk 326 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: about Draft Kings for a second, because they're awesome and 327 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: they're the reason that I'm doing this, and I've been 328 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: with Draft Kings for a long time as in not 329 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: just spokesperson, I'm not just spokespert, and I'm also a client. 330 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: Um So when we're talking about the futures, the Bills 331 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: are the favorite at plus six hundred, so they nobody 332 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: picked the Bills or the betting favorite. The Bucks are 333 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: at seven plus seven hundred, the Chiefs plus thousands, the 334 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: Packers of plus a thousand, and the Rams of plus 335 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: twelve hundred. So those are your top five teams right 336 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: now if you're gonna bet. But even picking a favorite 337 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: this early, because I'm not a big favorite guy to bet, 338 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: but even picking a favorite, the odds are long enough 339 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: that this early there's still some pretty good money there. 340 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: If you've got Buffalo a plus six hundred eddie, if 341 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: I bet if I've got a hundred bucks on Buffalo 342 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: the plus six hundred, how much of money will I make? 343 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: Uh five dollars? Right, because it would not not counting 344 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: your one eddie. If I bet a hundred bucks, yeah, 345 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: you're all you're almost right. I mean, if it's you're 346 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: not counting. If I bet a hundred bucks Buffalo plus 347 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: six hundred, that is how much money? But so it's seven. 348 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: But it's the one the back exactly. You got it. 349 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: So we've all made our picks. But Draft Kings is awesome. 350 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: It's easy to use. You get your money quick back. 351 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: It's not like some people that we know that go 352 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: through odd foreign places and that's a whole situation. Yeah, 353 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: don't don't be that guy. Oh yeah, appreciate Draft Kings 354 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: and being a part of it. Here. Let's do this. 355 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: I think this is intric We already kind of got 356 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: on a little bit. But we're gonna do identify your 357 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: team in the first episode, so you know bias the 358 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: whole season. So when people say crap, you know that 359 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: they have a bias. Um, I'll go first. I don't 360 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: have an NFL team, but in the Arkansas player on 361 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: bias four and I'm a massive Arkansas Razorbacks fan. Um, 362 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: but I'm not biased there either, just in case at 363 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: a bias alert. I don't have a college team. I 364 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: went to sam Houston State. I mean, they're decent at 365 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: the Division one, doful, but you're not like following them 366 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: every week? No, no no, no. But on ESPN plus they 367 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: do play some of their games, and I scan it 368 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: on a Saturday and they're playing, I watch it. I 369 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: guess my point with this is if you hear us 370 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: talking about a team in a segment here, so I 371 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: guess Samson says rocking for some reason if they're coming up. 372 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: But so, no college team, but also you're in a 373 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: all teams is the Dallas Cowboys kick off? Kevin uh 374 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: No allegiance to a collegiate team, I'm like you, Or 375 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: I have teams that I don't like and then teams 376 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: that I kind of root for for whatever reason, So 377 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: that's a bias or who do you not like? Because 378 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: I don't like Notre Dame. See I grew up watching them, 379 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: but I'm not a huge fan. I don't like Ohuse State, 380 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't like I might not want to hear this. 381 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: Oklahoma I didn't like Oklahomila till I had to, but 382 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: now I do. I can't hate them anymore. But State 383 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: it's another one. I don't like Texas, USC. I like Texas, 384 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: I don't like USC. Uh. That's pretty much it for 385 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: the most part. NFL, you have a New England had on, Yes, 386 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: Patriots fan. My dad from back East Rhode Island. So 387 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: I grew up in California, but dads from I've never 388 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: met anybody from rhodel Ken just a whole like Mystery. Yeah, 389 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: Mighty Texas, the Cowboys. Okay, I don't hate people from 390 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: Texas or even individual long Horns, the brand on Arkansas. 391 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to hate the long Horns. Adam Hamburg, massive 392 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: Razorback fan. This is part of the reason why me 393 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: and Bobby your friends, um and uh. Yeah. I grew 394 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: up in Arkansas, but a lot of my growing up 395 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: was in Mississippi. So I was like the only Arkansas 396 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: Razorback fan within like two hundred miles, and so I 397 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: just like, you know, I just like clung onto that 398 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: as a kid, the Razorbacks and Cowboys. Razorbacks and Cowboys. 399 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: But also since moving to Nashville, it was kind of 400 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: made made space in my heart for the Titans. And 401 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: so it's can have multiple teams, can multiple teams, you 402 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: can't have a one one. That's different conferences, though it 403 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: was now different conferences. You can't have two teams. You 404 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: can root along for two teams, but you can't have 405 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: two teams. You have one team or no teams. Is 406 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: that is that if you have three teams, you have 407 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: no teams. You have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks. 408 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: That's like having multiple favorite teams. Um, okay, so this 409 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: is our first episode and we're today, we're gonna start 410 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: and I've introduced you to Kevin. Now I horribly named 411 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: him kick Off Kevin because I was just like, we 412 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: gotta call you something, and so it's a terrible names 413 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: that you can change it, but we didn't. And so 414 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 1: in the theme of naming you horribly, I've named your 415 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 1: segment horribly. So this segment is called kick Off Kevin's 416 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: five question tittle tattle that makes no sense whatsoever, But 417 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: this is this five question tittle tattle where and here's 418 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: the rules And went up to this every time, but 419 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: Kevin will come and he'll bring me five questions about 420 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: NFL and n C double A I will answer it, 421 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: and if you disagree with me, this is your first 422 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: shot at the whistle. If I finish and you disagree, 423 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: blow the whistle and I will come to you and 424 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: you can say your part. I like it. Okay, we're 425 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: seeing I made this up to and I can't disagree. Correct. 426 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: You are in this. You are the reporter. You cannot disagree. 427 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: If later we bring it up again, that's fine, but 428 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: you have to be absolutely impartial. Okay. I see the 429 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 1: question and I shut my mouth like a good reporter. 430 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: Is okay, first question and the tittle tattle Kevin. Alright, 431 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: which offseason quarterback in the collegiate World transfer will result 432 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: real result in the most wins for their respective program. 433 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams going to USC Quinn you were is going 434 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: to Texas? Dylan Gabriel to oh You or Jackson Dart 435 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: down to old Miss Jackson Dart's interesting. I mean, all 436 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: those guys are kind of leaving the same place. It's 437 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: like it's like justin Fields and Borough and when you 438 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: know State Georgia, they all kind of just shifted a 439 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: little bit. But that's happening here a little bit. Darts 440 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: interesting because that Lane Kiffin's system is ready to win 441 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: a little bit they have. I think they have a 442 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: pretty decent shot to be competitive in the SEC West. Um, 443 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: the kid at Oklahoma's from UCF. They are good and 444 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: they play in a conference it's not that good, so 445 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: that's a factor. Caleb Williams awesome. I watched him a 446 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: lot because I watched a lot of the games of 447 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: my my wife last year. And when he came in, 448 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: he took over for Spencer Rattler. It was the win 449 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: over Texas. When they came back they wanted. He took 450 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: over the whole game. Uh, that was pretty awesome. And 451 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: who's who's the other option you get? And he hasn't 452 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: even won the job. He's going to be the quarterback, 453 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: but he hasn't officially won the job yet, at least 454 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: as we're recording this. Uh, he's the kid from Ohio State. 455 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: He got a million bucks. I think designing pieced out, 456 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: which is gonna be interesting too with Manning coming in 457 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: Arch Manning next year into Texas. Now, if he doesn't play, 458 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: which they're saying he's not going to freshman year, that 459 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: kind of works out because you also have this year 460 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: and next year and then maybe he goes pro. That way, 461 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: you can sit for a year spent a rattlers another 462 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: option in South Carolina. I thought about him, but he 463 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: kind of had a down year last year, so I 464 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, but then you're getting getting replaced. Yeah. 465 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: He was the odds on favorite to be the first 466 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: round draft pick this year though at one point last year. 467 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with but from your options, give me 468 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: your options one more time, just a quarterbacks. Since Caleb 469 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: Williams you see winning yours in Texas dealing Gabriel to Ou, 470 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Gabriel. Gabriel is a good quarterback from 471 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: ucf UM, and I think, oh you, of all those programs, 472 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: has the best shot to actually win a lot of games, 473 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: win that conference, and possibly be in the playoff. So 474 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: that my answer there, all right, who blew the whistle? Me? Adam? 475 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: Blew the whistle? Alright, Adam, because Kayla Williams, he's got 476 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: a way easier road man. The Pack twelve is is 477 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: just not as good as the Big twelve. And I 478 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: can't I can't think of more than three teams that 479 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: should beat usc UM and so I think they're gonna 480 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: at least win nine nine games. They have to win 481 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: nine games. I think Oklahoma wins ten or eleven. They might. 482 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: I don't know it's gonna beat them. Texas. Listen, Tech, 483 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: I know Tech, he's got a first place vote. Texas 484 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: is always just a craft shoot. And then they still 485 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: have to get by Baylor, they had to give by 486 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, and and I don't know that they can 487 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: win those in our first year head coach. Those are 488 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: all like really good programs right now, I would now 489 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't agree with, but Ventables has been in Oklahoma, 490 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: so it's not like that's all new to him. He 491 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: was defensive coordinated there for a long time. Um, I'm 492 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: still going to Oklahoma. You blew your whistle. Now you're 493 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: you're off the show. All right, that's my answer. That's 494 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: number one. Give me ever two? All right. Do you 495 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: think Rams quarterback Matt staffords sore elbow will be the 496 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: downfall of l A's chance as repeating as Super Bowl champions? 497 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: I mean downfall. No, I think it's gonna be something 498 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: they have to watch, and I think they'll have to 499 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: play a little different because of that. I think they'll 500 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: probably not be able to run their offense as freely 501 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: as they possibly would want to, even if he's feeling 502 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: pretty good. I think they just gotta. They have to 503 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: monitor it and take care of it, even if it's 504 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: not killing it at Tendonita sucks and I never even 505 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: had it at a level like that, but I had it, 506 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: and it was for four months. Had it worked on 507 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: dry needled, I had. I did everything to it. Um 508 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: so downfall. No, and their defense is so good that 509 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: they could actually keep them in it or not mine. 510 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: They could actually still win a whole lot of freaking games. 511 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: So no, And I think Stafford will probably be fine 512 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: at the end of it. It's not like it's throwing elbow. 513 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: It's that he's coming off reconstructive surgery. So I'm gonna go. 514 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: They're still in it. They still have a chance, all right. 515 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: Next one, Okay, old faces and new places for the 516 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: wider evers. This year, will they have open or under 517 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: their two thousand twenty one totals will start with Tyreek 518 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: Hill with receiving yards in one had one thousand, two 519 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: hundred thirty nine. But two is this quarterback And I know, 520 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: like people hate too and they say you can't throw. 521 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: I've been watching the Dolphins practice videos and I'm only 522 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: seen the ones Dolphins ones want me to see. They're 523 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: looking pretty good. Like Tyrenk is running fast everybody. He 524 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: was it on Instagram, it was on Twitter. Actually, I'm 525 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: gonna go with under only because it is to it 526 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: and not my homes. Uh, they're gonna really, I mean, 527 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: waddle is so good. Here's the thing about Miami though, 528 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: They've got a couple elite wide receivers where the Chiefs didn't. 529 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: She's had a great tight end. But I don't feel 530 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: like they could open it. Why don't can fly to 531 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: Like you got two of the fastest guys in the NFL. 532 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go under because of the quarterback and 533 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: not because I think I like to. Uh, but two 534 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: is not my homes, so gonna go under. Give me 535 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: another one, all right? A. J. Brown twenty one or 536 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: two one touchdowns, had five over under five this year 537 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: with the Eagles. I think he has more. I think 538 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: his quarterback situation is slightly improved. I don't think that 539 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: he's going to a quarterback that's going to change his life. 540 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: I think he's got money that will change his life now, 541 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: which is the Titans didn't want to pay him, but 542 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say more because I think he's gonna be 543 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 1: more of a focus in that offense where Tannehill they 544 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: threw a bit and he was they tried to make 545 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: him the focus. They trying to make Julio the focus 546 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: whenever he was not hurt, but he was also hurt 547 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. So I'm gonna go he's gonna have 548 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: more in Philadelphia, Okay, And Davante Adams to twoptions had 549 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: a dree over under twenty three this year under just 550 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: because Renfroze there, uh, that system, he will get he 551 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: will get a lot of balls. But um, you know 552 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: between renfro Ah Davante Adams Ah that the tied end 553 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: in in Vegas is really good to Waller last year 554 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: came out and kind of came out of nowhere as 555 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: far as the production he had. So I'm gonna go 556 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: with still no, but I think they have a lot 557 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: more options and I think he'll he will perform wonderfully, 558 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: just won't get as many catches. All right, next question? Alright. 559 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: Former pit wide receiver Jordan Adison, who transferred the USC 560 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: this off season, recently said I definitely felt like I 561 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: got drugged through the mud with the media after catching 562 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: scrutiny from leaving Pit to go to USC Is this 563 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: new era of college football free agency? Bad or good 564 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: for the game? If you worked at a business, Eddie, 565 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: let's say you work at a business. Let's let's call 566 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: it Eddie's Cattle Company. Love, it's where do you work 567 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: at your own company? But I and Eddie's cattle company 568 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: made ten bucks a year and that was what everybody made. 569 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: And my company makes ten dollars a year. Just follow 570 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: me along. I'm keeping the numbers lower kill and Eddie's Cattle. 571 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: Eddie's Cattle Company the next year made twenty bucks for 572 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: a whole year. You like doubled, right, Hey, yeah, you 573 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: do this. It's Eddie cattle companies growing in popularity. You 574 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: just you've signed and uh different little deals for your 575 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: cattle to go to certain places. Now, now five years later, 576 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: Eddi's Cattle Company has gone from ten bucks a year 577 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: to a thousand dollars. Let's go, you're there's so much 578 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: money coming into the cattle company. Now, do you think 579 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: that the people that are doing the work to make 580 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: that money deserve to be paid more? You're asking me, 581 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: as the owner of my Eddie's cattle come asking you, 582 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: as a person sitting right here, do you think that 583 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: the people that are actually making the doing the work 584 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: should be paid a little more for the job that 585 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: they're doing. This making more money, treat your people right, Yes, 586 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: they will work harder for you. So this is a 587 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: macro perspective of that. Yes, he's been dragged through the mud. 588 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: That's not that's not him though he's basically a free agent. 589 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: He let that be known. People were bidding for him. Um, 590 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: players should make money because the n C Double A 591 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: is college football is cru NFL been killing it for 592 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: a while. They're making so much money in college football, 593 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: the TV deals. You've had to have a billion dollar 594 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: Big ten deal, a bit with a b billion dollar 595 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: and so. But the only people who shouldn't get paid 596 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: to the people they're actually doing the work. So I'm 597 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: a big We should pay people for what they're doing. 598 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: And I I understand people are going with this. College football 599 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: like what he used to be. The only other thing 600 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: that I could compare it to was the It was 601 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: controversial when they started to give athletes scholarships because even 602 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: back then they were like, wait, you're gonna pay You're 603 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: gonna pay for their college to play. They should just 604 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: play the sport for love of the game. It's the 605 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: same thing. It's just more money and you and more 606 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: people know about it now because of social media. You're 607 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: you're paying them with a free education. Then college of 608 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: ball didn't make a whole bunch of money, but now 609 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: it's killing And so he was dragged with the mud. 610 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: He deserves it, but he also deserves what he gets 611 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: on the other side of the good stuff too. So 612 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: that's the name of the game. You're public, you're making money, 613 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: you get dragged to I get dressed with the mud 614 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: all time. Do I deserve it? Sometimes? Uh? But I'm 615 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: a big n I L fan. I think profit revenue 616 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: sharing will be a thing with players. I think players 617 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: should be paid. End. Your question was is it fair 618 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: for him? You do you think it's good or bad 619 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: for the game. It's good. It's good. They'll figure it out. 620 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: It's a wild West right now. It's a little too wild, 621 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: but you gotta go full while west before you can 622 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: shut it down a little bit true, all right? Right? 623 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: Next question, how is this the fifth tittle tattle or fourth? 624 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: This is the last one, fifth and final one? The 625 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: last three champions in college football have come from the SEC, 626 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: and Alabama is the favorite. Again, if picking today, are 627 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: you choosing the SEC or the field? Come January? The 628 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: SE is probably gonna have one in it. So I'm 629 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,239 Speaker 1: just doing odds here, not about Alabama or Georgia. But 630 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: if the SEC has this person in the championship game, 631 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: that's still fifty fifty. I'm gonna go SEC. I'm big 632 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: SEC homer, But if I'm just doing probabilities, I would 633 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: still go SEC. New you said Alabama and Georgia and 634 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: that's it versus the field. Maybe I feel a little 635 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: different about that because I feel like somebody could squeak 636 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: up and probably surprise one of those two teams on 637 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: one of the sides. Possibly surprise those are my two 638 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: words I'm using. I don't think they will, but the 639 00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: SEC is tough, so I would take the secure alright, Hey, 640 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: kick off, Kevin, terrible name, tittle tattle, terrible name for 641 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: a segment, but not bad. What the whole segment? Adam 642 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: Blue whistle and he has big balls and he's done though. 643 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, um so.

Whoa Dan, good to talk to you. 647 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm big, just massive fan, just a massive, massive fans. 648 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: So you know when they said you would actually spend 649 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: a few minutes with me, I I was shocked first 650 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: of all and elated. So just humble thank you before 651 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: we start. Great, great, glad to Glad to hill. You know, 652 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: whenever I'm doing an interview and in one capacity or 653 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: the other, I do them all the day, all the time, 654 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: either on the radio show or on a TV show, 655 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: But I it starts to just be a wheel and 656 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: you're just doing them as they come, and you rarely 657 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: get excited. Sometimes you're a little more up for one 658 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: because you know the value of a bit. At this 659 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: point in your career, do you still get about interviews 660 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: and with who especially? I think if you have somebody 661 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: who's going to be honest with you, because you want 662 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: to make sure you're not wasting the time of your audience. 663 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: And I always want to make sure if I have 664 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: somebody on maybe you don't know who they are, but 665 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring out something in them that you would 666 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: be interested in. I like the challenge of doing that, 667 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: but it's the person who's going to be honest or 668 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: most honest that I find interesting. It's the person who 669 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: tries to dodge what you're asking, doesn't give you much, 670 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: wants to be very vanilla. Then that's where it gets 671 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: really tedious. Give me an example, somebody who's great that 672 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, all right, we're gonna do it, and they're 673 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. Charles Barkley is always great, Reggie Miller 674 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: is always great. I find that if you know my 675 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: guests know if they come on the show that this 676 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: is what we're asking them to do, don't come on 677 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 1: the show unless you're ready to really give something, reveals something. 678 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: But it's up to me sometimes to kind of extract 679 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 1: them that from these guys. They get interviewed more than anybody. 680 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: When you think about it, athletes are interviewed more than anybody. 681 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: You know where they are, you know, every day at practice, um, 682 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: you know, before a game, after a game with the NBA. 683 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: You have to have an approach that is refreshing to 684 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: them and their competitors. And I find I got to 685 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: compete with you to get an answer out of you. 686 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: John McEnroe said, you gotta work harder to get a 687 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: better answer out of me. And he was right. This 688 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: was early in my career and I never forgot that 689 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta work harder to get a better answer 690 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: out of somebody. Do you feel like you're a better 691 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: interviewee because you interview so many people? Because you know, 692 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: what I'll do is all critique your questions while you're 693 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: asking them, and it's not fair to you. But I've 694 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: given so much thought to interviewing. When I was at ESPN, 695 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: I did a seminar that was five days, eight hours 696 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: each day on interviewing. It was the best thing that 697 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: ever happened to me in my career. But it's the 698 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: worst thing when you start to listen to radio or 699 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: you listen to somebody on TV doing interviews, because you're 700 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: listening for the things that they're not doing what you 701 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: were told to do to bring out a good interview. 702 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: Open ended questions, short question, You know that first question, 703 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: what are you setting up for the next question? For 704 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: your last question? What are you trying to get at? 705 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: Like there's a strategy to it. And I wouldn't have 706 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: known this until I took this class. It was a 707 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: guy named John Swatsky out of Canada. It was the 708 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: master of the interview, and I was fascinated by it. Uh. 709 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: I don't know who else, if anybody else was at ESPN. 710 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: They they were mad at me because I wanted to 711 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: bring this guy in to teach us how to interview, 712 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: because I saw an article and people are like kicking 713 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: and screaming going to this seminar, and they didn't realize 714 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: that I'm the reason why they were going there, because 715 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: I wanted this guy to come in and help us. 716 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: You know, when you talk about the ESPN stuff, and 717 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of questions about that, and 718 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: I still don't, but it makes me think about, you know, 719 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: my whole lifetime of watching you on ESPN and even 720 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: Rock and Roll Jeopardy, which I was a big Jeopardy 721 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: guys and a music guy obviously, and then you know, 722 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: watch on Sunday nights and I would come home from 723 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 1: the radio show and watch your radio show, you and 724 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: all the dan neds, like just a massive fan. But 725 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, I've started to realize that I, as a 726 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: public figure, people think they know me at times more 727 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,919 Speaker 1: than they actually do, and they'll come up and and so, 728 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that I'm most curious about. 729 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: It's like if you go to your house and I 730 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: feel like I know, yeah, but I obviously don't on 731 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: a personal level, like in your house, what is your 732 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: favorite picture in your house? Which if I just asked 733 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: that question, what is it, who's in it? I'm a 734 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: big fan of the artist Wolf Khan. He passed away. 735 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: I think he was just over the age of ninety. 736 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: And you can't be in a bad mood when you 737 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: look at a painting of Wolf Khan. Now pictures. Uh, 738 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: there's a picture of my daughter in the library where 739 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: she's in Galway and she's in a mud puddle and 740 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: she's probably eleven years of age, and she's got mud 741 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: all over her. She's thrown mud in the air, and 742 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,919 Speaker 1: she's got the biggest smile and it's one of those 743 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: moments that you just go that person is having a 744 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: great day. So I tend to gravitate towards you feel 745 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: better after you you see that picture and you see 746 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: a painting from Wolf Kan. What about if I ask 747 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: about sports, what personal sports picture do you have? Either 748 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: you're somewhere with someone that you look at and it's 749 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: not it doesn't mean as much because obviously that's your daughter. 750 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: But it's like, man, that was a great moment, either 751 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: in sports life or my life. I was in a 752 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: boxing ring. It was fight night in Arizona, and I 753 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: was the host and we were honoring Mohammed Ali and 754 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: we were going to give him this ring, and Mohammed 755 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: Ali is standing next to me waiting for me to 756 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: give him this ring. And I'm describing to the audience 757 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: what this ring signifies, and I'm going to hand this 758 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: to Mohammed Ali. And you know that this was probably 759 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: a twenty years ago, but you know Parkinson's the onset 760 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: of Parkinson had started there. And I just remember in 761 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: the moment, I'm thinking I'm gonna give a ring to 762 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: Mohammed Ali, and I sort of fanboyd that. I was like, 763 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: I gotta get this out of my head, because I 764 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: sometimes that's the problem. I have too many things I'm 765 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: thinking of when I'm doing something that I shouldn't be 766 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: thinking about. But that moment where I look and I go, 767 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: who would have thought that a kid came from a 768 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 1: small town in Ohio is there with Mohammed Ali, honoring 769 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: Mohammed Ali, And I'm it's never lost on me where 770 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: I came from and growing up in a big family, 771 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,399 Speaker 1: that I came a long way, but that you can 772 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: come from a small town where you never would have 773 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: thought you've gotten there. So it brings out a lot 774 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: of different thoughts memories there of you're still this kid 775 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: who was from Mason, Ohio, but you got here. Don't 776 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: forget where you came from from Mountain Pine, Arkansas, population 777 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: seven uh So similar instances, you know, growing up and 778 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of resource where I came from. 779 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 1: So how what showed you and who showed you that 780 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: there was actually a path to greater even though you 781 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: couldn't quite define greater. I think I was too naive 782 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: or stupid to let reality sink in and that you 783 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: can't do this. I didn't have a plan b So 784 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: when people said, oh, if you weren't gonna be a 785 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: sports conister, what would you be? And I'd be like, 786 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. I'm guessing bartender. But I 787 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know, and I had been rejected in quite 788 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: a few places. I lost a job, local job in Dayton, Ohio, 789 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 1: and I was distraught. So I'm I'm twenty six seven, 790 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: I don't have a full time job in sports, and 791 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: that's old in this business to get started, and I 792 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: thought I'm never gonna get I was doing morning drive 793 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: radio rock and roll station, and I thought, this is 794 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be doing. And the next girlfriend said, 795 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: just come down to Atlanta. I said, day I don't 796 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: want to go to Atlanta. She goes, no, just come 797 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: down here. CNN's hiring. I go, I just I lost 798 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: out on a job in Dayton, Ohio. I'm not going 799 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: to get a job at CNN. So I go down there, 800 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: lo and behold.

So if I don't go to Atlanta, 803 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm not here. I mean I'm somewhere, but I'm not 804 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: here because CNN. I was there for five years and 805 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: after that I went to ESPN for eight team. So 806 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 1: I always tell people right place, right time, But you 807 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: better be right about what you have to know, like 808 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: you have to know it if you get that opportunity. 809 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: And I'm sure that at some point somebody wanted to 810 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: see if you knew exactly what you needed to know, 811 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: and you did, or you wouldn't be seated there like 812 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: we get those moments, but be ready for the moment. 813 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: And that was something that stayed with me, stays with me. 814 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: I tell that to my kids all the time. Be prepared, 815 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: be overprepared, even if you don't get it, you'll still 816 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: show that that person you you showed them respect by 817 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: being prepared. You mentioned eighteen years at ESPN, and I 818 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 1: worked on American Idol for four seasons, and I would 819 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: talk to some of the old contestants from back when 820 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: Idol was so big, and but they said they didn't 821 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: know it, they couldn't feel it because they were in it. Now. 822 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: ESPN was a culture, especially for me, Was that situation 823 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: similar because you guys weren't changing culture. Did you know 824 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: it and could you feel it then? Or was it 825 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: its own bubble? We were cordoned off, absolutely, and I 826 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: think that's by design by management. They didn't want us 827 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: to be bigger than those four letters, not that we 828 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: could be, but they didn't want us coloring outside the lines. 829 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: Management even told me on one occasion, we don't want 830 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: another Chris Berman, because Berman is the most important person 831 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 1: in the history of ESPN. But he was sort of, 832 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, a hot air balloon that was higher than 833 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: everybody else but still tethered. And they didn't want that. 834 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: They didn't want that to happen to me or Keith 835 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: Oberman or Stewart Scott or whoever you want to throw 836 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: in there. So they didn't want you to be a personality. 837 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: Um So I think that that was kind of eye 838 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: opening that we were getting honored. Mentioned. Uh, people came 839 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: up to us when we saw them when we were 840 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: out of events, but we weren't in New York or 841 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: l A. We're in Bristol, Connecticut. We didn't run into anybody, 842 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: but when we did, then you heard the impact that 843 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: we were having. And you kind of juxtaposed that too 844 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: management that we never knew our ratings. They never told us. 845 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't want to empower you and say, 846 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: you guys are really kicking ass here. It was like, yeah, 847 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: you guys solid and improving, you know, kind of doing 848 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: a good job there. You're like, damn, I thought I 849 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: thought we were good. But that was that was eye 850 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: opening there that management wanted to kind of keep us 851 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: under their thumb. Final question about the ESPN days and 852 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: as far as when who is would you say as 853 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: your BFF. Now from those days, if you had to 854 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: pick one, oh, I would say that I correspond with 855 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: Rich Eyes and more than anybody else, the people I 856 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:41,240 Speaker 1: really enjoyed were producers, associate producers, the makeup people, camera people. 857 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: Those are the people I always enjoyed being around. Nobody 858 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: wants to be around talent because all we do is 859 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,240 Speaker 1: talk about ourselves. I wanted to be around the people 860 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: who were just normal or as normal as possible in 861 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: our business. And those are the people I'm still in 862 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 1: touch with. Uh more the producers than the talent there, 863 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: but probably Rich Eyes. Where does conference realignment end or 864 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: where is it in five years? From where you sit 865 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: right now, I still think we're headed towards an a 866 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: f C NFC model with college football, where we just say, 867 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 1: let's let's pull back the curtain. Let's not kill anybody. 868 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: This is big time business. Have revenue sharing, UM gonna 869 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: treat them like their professionals, which they are. And I 870 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,280 Speaker 1: think you might have thirty teams in the NFC version 871 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: and thirty she has sixty teams. Let's say a sixteen 872 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: team playoff, and you know you might have relegation where 873 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: maybe the sixty team drops out with the team that 874 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: won the national championship in one double A or or 875 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: something that creates excitement at the top and the bottom. 876 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: But I do think we're headed towards let's just have 877 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: the fifty or sixty sixty best college football teams actually 878 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 1: compete for a national championship and then you have everybody 879 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: else after that with the fluidity of realignment or even 880 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: in I L, like let's do five years in the future. 881 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: There what's different about the n I L structure in 882 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 1: five years? If you're just playing psychic then is today? Well, 883 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: the coaches have to embrace this. You know, when Kirby's 884 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: Smart at Georgia signs a ten million dollar a year contract, 885 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: but then bemoans the fact that we're paying these players 886 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars or two hundred thousand dollars, like, 887 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: have a dose in reality here. Now you're getting paid 888 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 1: and you don't want them to get paid. Your job 889 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 1: is tougher because of name, image and like, plain and simple, 890 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: these coaches, I don't care if it's Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, 891 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: whoever it is. This makes your you know, the transfer 892 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: portal name image and likeness makes it difficult. But when 893 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 1: the source says to me, you know, the going rate 894 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: for a running back is this price, the going rate 895 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: for a quarterback is this, and the going rate for 896 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: a wide It's almost like you have a list, like 897 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: a men you where you go? How much is the stake? 898 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,879 Speaker 1: It's this, um you know, how much is that? It's 899 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 1: that that's where we're headed with all. We're already there. 900 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: So I think embracing name, image and likeness, maybe you 901 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 1: kind of put them all under the same umbrella. Maybe 902 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: you're you're paying them. Maybe there's a salary cap that 903 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: you have. I got. You can't say that won't happen 904 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 1: because look at where we are now. Who would have 905 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: thought Texas and Oklahoma would be in the sec U, 906 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 1: c l A and USC going to the big tent. See, 907 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: you can't say, well, I don't ever happen, because in 908 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: college football it could happen. And I think, as we 909 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,280 Speaker 1: move forward with this, how much are the players involved 910 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: in this? Do we come up with legislation that limits this? 911 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 1: I mean, you still have to declare this is income here, 912 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: so it's got to be above board. And I think 913 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: that that kind of takes away the If you take 914 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 1: away name, image, and likeness. Bobby, you're going to have 915 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: back to the old days of cheating. This is just 916 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 1: above board. It's like, hey, would you give him a 917 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars? Okay? Whereas before would be like do 918 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 1: you hear what Eric Dickerson got at s m U 919 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: gave him a trans am and they gave his MoMA house. 920 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: You know that that was always the kind of whispers 921 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 1: behind all of the Now it's above board, Like Zion Williamson, 922 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what he got a duke, but he 923 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:32,320 Speaker 1: got something right, Yeah, yeah, but you know these guys 924 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 1: get money. It may not be from the school, the coach, 925 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,720 Speaker 1: but the shoe company. So it's here. It's been here 926 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: now at least it's above board. But five years down 927 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: the road, I don't know what the goling salary is 928 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: going to be. But a a star quarterback, you know 929 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna get a NFL like they're making more money 930 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: when you factor that in, Alabama's quarterback Heisman Trophy winner 931 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,280 Speaker 1: made more than the previous quarterback at Alabama, Jalen Hurts 932 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: playing in the NFL, So he makes more money at 933 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 1: Alabama than Jalen Hurts does in the NFL. Crazy, But 934 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: that's the reality we have right now. And the fact 935 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 1: that it's snuck up on all these chancellors and presidents 936 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 1: and athletic directors is like mind boggling because it was 937 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 1: there to see the final three questions. Okay, talking about quarterbacks, 938 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned Arch, there's not a lot of not a 939 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,839 Speaker 1: lot of Arch not just tape, but not a lot 940 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: of Arch data. He's not competing against other quarterbacks at 941 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 1: that high school level. He's not going to camps where 942 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: what do you see happening with Arch Manning. Well, that's 943 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: a lot of hype. You know, Bryce Harper lived up 944 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,879 Speaker 1: to it. Lebron James lived up to it. There there 945 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: have been players who live up to the hype, but 946 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: as far as an NFL quarterback hype, boy, this is 947 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 1: up there. I mean, this is bigger than Eli or 948 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: even Peyton the hype living up to you know, Archie 949 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: Manning at Old Us when he was up for the 950 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy. I just wonder, can you be good enough 951 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: where people go? Man, he's everything we thought he was 952 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: going to be, Like Tiger Woods was everything we thought 953 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 1: he was going to be, and then some Serena Williams 954 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: everything we thought and then some I don't know if Arch, 955 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: because it's based off of the people around you. He's 956 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 1: relying on that. Bryce Harper goes to the plate, it's 957 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper. Lebron James can have the ball in his hands. 958 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: Tiger has a club in his hand. You know, Serena 959 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 1: has her tennis racket. Arch is gonna have to how 960 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: good is his offensive line, how's goods his wide receivers 961 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: like those? Is his defense any good to stop anybody? 962 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: Those are the things that you have to factor in it. 963 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 1: And I wonder if you'll be able to live up 964 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: to that hype. I doubt it because that hype is 965 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 1: so much, so big. You mentioned the word source. How 966 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: hard is it to have a source that's telling you 967 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 1: something but you can't say it, and you almost have 968 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: to act like you don't know it. For the most part, 969 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to know if I can't use it. 970 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: I say that too, And I'm fortunate having been in 971 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: this business for almost forty years. You meet people that 972 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 1: you trust because you can go back to them or 973 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: they'll come. They'll they'll let you know if you're right 974 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: or wrong on something. But I I don't want to 975 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: know something that I can't even hint at because then 976 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm not being Then it's gossipy and I don't want 977 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 1: to do that. But it is a tough situation to 978 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: be in. Sometimes if somebody goes, hey, you can't use it, 979 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 1: I don't, then don't tell me because I don't want 980 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: to know. But when they're like, you didn't get it 981 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 1: from me, which is different, but sources can be tricky. 982 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: Last question, and this has really been a treat for me, 983 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 1: way more for so for you. And I'm sure you've 984 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: rated this and given it a low grade what you do. 985 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: And as soon as you said that, I'm like, god, dang, 986 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 1: And now I am going to actually feel like I 987 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 1: bean critique during the interview. I didn't feel like that 988 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: going in. But final question is, uh, you know, I'm 989 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 1: about to go through a big contract negotiation here with 990 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 1: a right so you know, and it's it's it's it's 991 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 1: quite the monster. I'm not gonna lie to you. What's 992 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: what's the What am I? What am I not knowing 993 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 1: to ask for? What is it you don't have? I 994 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm pretty good. Yes, I always look at 995 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: it this way. I love for fifteen years being at 996 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,319 Speaker 1: ESPN and I could have gotten jobs outside of it, 997 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,800 Speaker 1: but I loved what I was doing. But you can't 998 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: tell them that you love it so much that you 999 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 1: don't factor in what you're worth outside of what you're doing. 1000 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: If that makes sense that, hey, on the open market, 1001 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,439 Speaker 1: what would I be worth? Take care of me here? 1002 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: And I always took less, but I didn't have any 1003 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 1: I didn't want to do anything else. So do what 1004 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,439 Speaker 1: you love. And it's really hard to find that because 1005 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,479 Speaker 1: if you let money be the carrot that's in front 1006 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: of you, you'll always chase it and you'll never be satisfied. 1007 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: But if you have people you like you've got, you know, 1008 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 1: they make sure that the people who are surrounding you 1009 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,240 Speaker 1: are good people, fun people. I love seeing my guys 1010 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: every single day. We just laugh. I mean, you're serious 1011 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 1: when you need to be, but we have fun. I 1012 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: enjoy them. And it's twenty years for some of these guys. 1013 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: But I think that's the moment you know that you've 1014 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: got to kind of go. And if you say to 1015 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 1: your wife, what do you think, because sometimes it's my 1016 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 1: wife is the smartest person, and you know, you get 1017 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: somebody on the outside kind of looking at all this 1018 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 1: because we get too close to the sun and you 1019 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 1: don't want to be icarous here and you know, go 1020 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 1: down in flame. So do what you love as long 1021 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 1: as you can do it, or you can just take 1022 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 1: a shipload of money and then running with it. But yeah, 1023 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: I was hoping for like airplane.

Like at this point before the season starts, 1129 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,960 Speaker 1: as you guys are in camp, are you more nervous excited? 1130 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,800 Speaker 1: Are you always thinking football now? Is there a switch 1131 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 1: that flips on? Yeah, I'm really excited about the progress 1132 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,640 Speaker 1: of guys from spring Bold and out. I'm really excited 1133 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 1: to see the new guys, you know, the ones that 1134 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 1: weren't here. Uh there's only four of them, but you know, 1135 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 1: the guys that weren't here, Uh, see them participate, see 1136 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,719 Speaker 1: how good they are, see them grow. But yeah, there's 1137 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,240 Speaker 1: a big time excitement around Fatteville and certainly in our 1138 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,800 Speaker 1: building and through our players about you know, the season. 1139 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask you to name anybody, but it's 1140 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: always coming out of high school into college. Heck, just 1141 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: as a student, it's overwhelming much less you're seventeen than 1142 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 1: you go eighteen years old and now you're you know, 1143 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: competing for a spot against year old. Any of these 1144 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: freshmen in your time that come in, they're very had 1145 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 1: heralded and they get there and they're like, I don't 1146 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 1: know what's happening. Like these guys are all bigger and faster. Yeah, 1147 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,440 Speaker 1: it happens all the time. But you know, you can 1148 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 1: wear yourself out anxiety wise. The first day we went 1149 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 1: out to practice, there's a hundred fifteen heatd index. It's 1150 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 1: a hot out there. But you you combine that with 1151 00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 1: a new guy that has an anxiety, Uh, they're all 1152 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: over the place. The next day it was one twelve 1153 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,120 Speaker 1: heat into x but they were much better. Uh. You know, 1154 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 1: so anxiety that's a little bit Bobby about going over 1155 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,160 Speaker 1: into the stadium on a Saturday. You're gonna have a 1156 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 1: lot of anxiety if you're not prepared or you don't know. Uh. 1157 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 1: If you are prepared and you know and and you've 1158 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 1: taken the I hope we win to I know we're 1159 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,120 Speaker 1: gonna win because I'm prepared in this I think you 1160 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 1: play a lot better. So these kids that come in, 1161 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 1: we didn't put a whole lot of value into day one. Uh, 1162 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 1: day two, a little bit more, Day three, and of 1163 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: course the day will be our fourth practice. If a 1164 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,640 Speaker 1: hundred four star freshman come in, let's play with me here, 1165 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,640 Speaker 1: a hundred four star freshman come in, how many of 1166 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,320 Speaker 1: them will actually have the one be physically and mentally 1167 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 1: ready to play game one in our league? Ten? Maybe 1168 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe fifteen, not not more than that. 1169 00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't think now play play start start play probably 1170 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:05,440 Speaker 1: ten play play probably uh you know, some type of 1171 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 1: special team or something like that, maybe thirty five or 1172 00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 1: for in your history of coaching, and it could be 1173 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 1: at any level. Can you remember a freshman that came 1174 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 1: in and you're like, oh, this guy's immediately ready to play, 1175 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 1: and then he immediately played and was awesome. Andrew Thomas. 1176 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:24,280 Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas was a tackle out of Georgia who I 1177 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 1: knew he was going to start in our top five 1178 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 1: fast early. Uh, not necessarily office high school take Bobby, 1179 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 1: but when he got to campus. Uh he started at 1180 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 1: right tackle, first game of the year, played three years, 1181 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,000 Speaker 1: fourth pick in the draft. Yeah, that one I that 1182 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 1: when I knew what is the coolest thing about being 1183 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 1: a d one coach? That a head coach that you 1184 00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,200 Speaker 1: did not know meaning you've coached a lot of places 1185 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 1: for a lot of time and done a lot of 1186 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 1: great things, but you still didn't know blank whenever you 1187 00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: became the head coach. Verse of parkinsas how awesome going 1188 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 1: into the locker room is after you beat somebody that named, 1189 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 1: somebody's got a name, somebody's got a good football team. 1190 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,760 Speaker 1: How many employees that there is in the building. You 1191 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 1: know that those things were surprising to me, But the 1192 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,640 Speaker 1: awesome part of it was going in and seeing the 1193 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 1: kid's face after you win a big game. It's incredible, priceless, 1194 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 1: can put a value on it, It's really cool. So 1195 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: for me, as I was, you know, rising up whatever ranks, 1196 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 1: I started to learn that the higher I got, it 1197 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: really was I wasn't doing all the little things as much. 1198 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 1: I was kind of uh doing big things and watching 1199 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 1: over people that I trusted to do the little things, 1200 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 1: um not less important things, but just more of the things. 1201 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,439 Speaker 1: Was that an adjustment for you being the head coach 1202 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 1: is not being so super involved daily in schemes and 1203 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 1: game plans. I trade our coaches exactly like I wanted 1204 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 1: to be traded as an assistant. You know, I've got 1205 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 1: a title. When I was assistant, I wanted to, uh 1206 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 1: make sure that I did what I was supposed to do. 1207 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 1: I wanted the coach to think I was the best coach, 1208 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 1: best recruiter on his staff, most loyal guy. So I 1209 01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 1: treat those guys like that until you know possible they 1210 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:13,560 Speaker 1: give me a reason not to. But I loved my staff. 1211 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:17,840 Speaker 1: I've got a really good staff. And and I visit 1212 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: with him. You know, you can really have anxiety over 1213 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 1: if somebody doesn't talk to you. You know, well, what's 1214 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 1: he think of me? Am I doing a good job. 1215 01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 1: I let him know. Uh. Visit with the guys all 1216 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,240 Speaker 1: the time. I want them to be as comfortable as 1217 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: they possibly can be, because I want them to to 1218 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 1: coach out of confidence and not out of nervousness, if 1219 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 1: that makes sense. When you go into a season like 1220 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:46,040 Speaker 1: this season, where you've had two seasons in a row 1221 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,800 Speaker 1: where you know there's been a different feeling about the team, 1222 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 1: obviously you're one, You're the first time head coach, not 1223 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,760 Speaker 1: a lot of expectation, um and you know It was 1224 01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 1: a weird year anyway with with COVID and last year, Uh, 1225 01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 1: we overperformed a lot of folks expectation. Now here we are, 1226 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,440 Speaker 1: we're going to do it again and there are now 1227 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: real expectations put on you, put on the razorbacks, put 1228 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 1: on the state of Arkansas, Like do you still have 1229 01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 1: to find like dig through and find somebody disrespecting you 1230 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 1: to go look at this? They still don't think or 1231 01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,400 Speaker 1: do you just reposition on how to motivate these kids? Well, 1232 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 1: you know our expectations and I'm not lying here, not 1233 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 1: stretching the truth at all. Our expectations have been high 1234 01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 1: ever since we walked in the building. I mean they 1235 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 1: really had and uh so that that's been a big 1236 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 1: deal for us. Uh. If I see Bobby, honestly, if 1237 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 1: I see uh ranking that has us ranked fifteen and 1238 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,480 Speaker 1: one that has us not ranked, I'm gonna talk to 1239 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,880 Speaker 1: the team about the not ranked one. I mean, I'm 1240 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 1: not I am, I'm I We're underdog, you know, a 1241 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:56,520 Speaker 1: blue chip, hard working group of guys, and I want 1242 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,960 Speaker 1: to I'm gonna find every reason for us to stay 1243 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,840 Speaker 1: that way in the public eye and and until I guess, 1244 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,480 Speaker 1: until you've got ranked number one. You know, you you 1245 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,040 Speaker 1: would have that ability to put a chip on the 1246 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 1: guy's shoulder, and that's that's I like to do that. 1247 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 1: I think that's who we are and we thrive on that. 1248 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 1: Has fame been weird for you? Yeah? It really as 1249 01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:24,880 Speaker 1: I get um um um. A lot of times you 1250 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 1: may or may not feel the same way. But a 1251 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 1: lot of times people come up they want to touch you, 1252 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 1: autograph pictures, whatever that is, and I'm almost every time 1253 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: I'm going, I wonder why they want to do that, 1254 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, But I also know that when I want 1255 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:46,520 Speaker 1: to meet somebody that I I either walk away going, man, 1256 01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,360 Speaker 1: that guy's a jerk, or man that he's really what 1257 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 1: I thought he would be. And I always wanted to 1258 01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,440 Speaker 1: walk away from me with the feeling that, hey, this 1259 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 1: is what who I thought this guy would be. I mean, 1260 01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,160 Speaker 1: in Arkansas, you are wildly famous because the team is 1261 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,480 Speaker 1: in an upper trajectory and we feel like that's gonna 1262 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 1: happen for a long time. Obviously, we love you very much, 1263 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:08,000 Speaker 1: um but with that, there is everybody watching you everywhere 1264 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 1: you go. Now, what's cool about the level of fame 1265 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: that you have, at least I think is you could 1266 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 1: probably go to uh, San Diego and everybody's pretty chill, 1267 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 1: and you get to live more of a normal vacation 1268 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,560 Speaker 1: life because nobody's hassling Coach Pittman from the razorback. Is 1269 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 1: that true? Yeah, that's true. I mean, um, here in 1270 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 1: the state though, you know, I have a home on 1271 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 1: Lake Hamilton's and I can get away somewhat, but not 1272 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 1: not much. Of course, when we put the hall out 1273 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,840 Speaker 1: there on the lake kind of told where we lived, 1274 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,439 Speaker 1: you know. But um, I'm very very grateful for that, 1275 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,440 Speaker 1: I really am. I never get discouraged or frustrated with 1276 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 1: people coming up and saying hello, because I'm very honored 1277 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 1: that they want to meet me or be around me 1278 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,520 Speaker 1: or whatever that case. Maybe how often do you eat 1279 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,880 Speaker 1: then you find out someone's already paid your tab? Man, 1280 01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 1: It's happened quite a bit, you know, I mean it 1281 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,680 Speaker 1: really has. And and some people aren't even at the 1282 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 1: restaurant that you know, somebody will call us, say, Coach Pittman, 1283 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 1: Jamie's here and there. They hadn't even been at the restaurant. 1284 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 1: They paid for it, which, by the way, is awesome. 1285 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,440 Speaker 1: Which other head coach in the SEC would you say, 1286 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 1: as your your bff. If you had to pick one, 1287 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: Kirby Kirby Smart, you know, that's that's the guy that 1288 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 1: has really taught me a lot when I was there. 1289 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 1: He's loyal to me as I am him. But he's 1290 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 1: a guy that that would be my my friend, my 1291 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 1: best friend. In in coaching, is there a text thread 1292 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,480 Speaker 1: of like the cool SEC coaches and you guys have 1293 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 1: leave a couple of guys out. That's what I do. 1294 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 1: That's so awesome. Uh you know you probably you know, 1295 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 1: hopefully I'm not the one they want to leave out 1296 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 1: of it, but uh yeah, that is awesome. There there 1297 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,160 Speaker 1: are days when you know, if you had that text 1298 01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 1: fread though, you'd add a guy back into it, take 1299 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 1: another guy at this guy, take another guy out. But 1300 01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: uh no, there's not one of those. But certainly I 1301 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,840 Speaker 1: think everybody at some point in time would take a 1302 01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 1: guy out and leave him out for a while. Is 1303 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 1: it true that if your buddies with somebody and I'm 1304 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 1: sure you have a lot of let peer coaches in 1305 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: the SEC, that you guys will not communicate the week 1306 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: over the week before if you're playing each other or 1307 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 1: or you find either way, there's a lot of truth 1308 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 1: to that. You know, um, you know Meil Tucker was 1309 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 1: at at Georgia, Shane was at Georgia. Um, Dan Lanning 1310 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 1: was at Georgia. You know, I think if we played, 1311 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,920 Speaker 1: of course we played, shipped Baemer's team to South Carolina. 1312 01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,000 Speaker 1: But I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference. Uh. 1313 01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,160 Speaker 1: You know what, it depends on how close you are. 1314 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,439 Speaker 1: If you're real close to him, you probably don't mind 1315 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,680 Speaker 1: talking to him. If you send me close to him 1316 01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 1: and you probably you probably won't talk to him the 1317 01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 1: week of the game. Have you ever played Madden? Because 1318 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,200 Speaker 1: I wonder if you played Madden, and let's say you 1319 01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 1: didn't actually use the controller, but you just like someone 1320 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:00,960 Speaker 1: played for you, but you told him what plays the call, 1321 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 1: what defense is to run. Do you think you can 1322 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 1: watch somebody play Madden and dominate them just based off 1323 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 1: of what you do as a head coach? No? I mean, now, 1324 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 1: Barry Might and Kendall Might. It's got Fountain Might on 1325 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 1: the punt when they need the punt. But I wouldn't 1326 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 1: know if it was coaching old line, I'd probably be 1327 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,440 Speaker 1: okay and all that, but no, I wouldn't be able 1328 01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 1: to do that. That would be the worst video game ever. 1329 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 1: Coaching old line. I don't think man's gonna put that in. 1330 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,120 Speaker 1: It wouldn't sell many, would it. How often are the 1331 01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 1: state troopers with you when you're traveling around the state. 1332 01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 1: Is that just game day or is that all the time? Well, 1333 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 1: they take me to Catfish Hole on Wednesday nights, and uh, 1334 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't know why. There's it's not dangerous at the 1335 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 1: Catfish Old, I can promise you. Uh, But then there 1336 01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,320 Speaker 1: with me on Friday and all through, all through until 1337 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 1: we get back home after the game more. Uh, you know, 1338 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,280 Speaker 1: traveling back on a road game. So I've I've met 1339 01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 1: your lovely wife a couple of times and yeah, thank you, 1340 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:07,560 Speaker 1: and you've met my life and man, you know at yeah, 1341 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:09,800 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. I take that as a compliment, 1342 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:15,040 Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, it's okay. Um. So I guess my 1343 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:19,559 Speaker 1: with my wife, I am constantly trying to make sure 1344 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 1: and I do not do a good job of it 1345 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:26,880 Speaker 1: of having balance, meaning I have to remember to try 1346 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,479 Speaker 1: to folk even though she's so supportive. I have to 1347 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: remember to focus and make sure that I'm not just 1348 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 1: using my my opic view of only my life and 1349 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:37,000 Speaker 1: my careers when it's football season. Is there a different 1350 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: understanding in your relationship. Yeah, it has been for thirty 1351 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 1: six years. The only thing, Bobby, what I've done for 1352 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,760 Speaker 1: a long long time is Jamie and I go on 1353 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:50,479 Speaker 1: to date night every Thursday during the season, and we 1354 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,559 Speaker 1: kind of look forward to that now because since I've 1355 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,720 Speaker 1: gotten a head coaching job. Wednesday night is also she 1356 01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:00,160 Speaker 1: goes with me to the catfish Hole. But third day 1357 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 1: night we do something. It may be at home, but 1358 01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 1: it's it's considered a day night, or maybe we get 1359 01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 1: a private room somewhere and go go out on Thursday night. 1360 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,960 Speaker 1: But um, I try to include her and as much 1361 01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,639 Speaker 1: as I possibly can because she's so important to me. 1362 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,559 Speaker 1: But she's also important to how I feel and my 1363 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,080 Speaker 1: daily you know, the way I walk and talk and 1364 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 1: things of that nature. She helps him with all that 1365 01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 1: has for thirty six years. I hope I'm good at 1366 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 1: I'm conscious to be good at that coach. Final four 1367 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 1: questions I have here for you, and I'm gonna start 1368 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,640 Speaker 1: with the n I l um, do you feel like 1369 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 1: it's advantageous to you that you started to be a 1370 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:38,599 Speaker 1: head coach right as this was happening, and you weren't 1371 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:41,759 Speaker 1: someone who's been head coaching that had to completely adjust whenever, 1372 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 1: like being born at the same time this was born. 1373 01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:45,720 Speaker 1: Do you feel like that was good for you. I 1374 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 1: don't think it hurt me. You know, you know change. 1375 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,759 Speaker 1: Guys have been doing something and you just said it. Basically, 1376 01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,479 Speaker 1: guys have been doing something for a long time. You know, 1377 01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,760 Speaker 1: you either fight change or you go with change and 1378 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,920 Speaker 1: try to find out how you can make it to 1379 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:06,200 Speaker 1: your advantage. I'm a guy that when change happens, I'm 1380 01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 1: trying to make an advantage out of it and not 1381 01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 1: be graping about the change. It might be harder if 1382 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 1: I was a head coach for twenty years and I 1383 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:18,439 Speaker 1: liked what I had, But um, right now, the rules 1384 01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 1: a rule, and then you try to go see how 1385 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,160 Speaker 1: it can be advantageous to your program. And that's how 1386 01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:24,880 Speaker 1: I feel about it. Do you feel like players are 1387 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 1: acting different because the n I l I think they're 1388 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 1: thinking different. Um, I don't know acting, but they are 1389 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:37,360 Speaker 1: thinking different because you know, recruiting and also your own team. Uh, 1390 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,640 Speaker 1: you have a lot more conversations about the name im 1391 01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,519 Speaker 1: and lightness than the math class or the you know, 1392 01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 1: you miss study table, things of that nature. They want 1393 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,280 Speaker 1: to talk about n I L and I want to 1394 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 1: talk about graduation more. Let's talk about parents. Um. And right, 1395 01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:55,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about graduation. I'm sure that's a big part 1396 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 1: in recruiting. We're talking to the parents of the grandparents 1397 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:01,120 Speaker 1: or whomever the central figures are. Um. I get a 1398 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:02,640 Speaker 1: lot of parents that asked me like, Hey, I got 1399 01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 1: a kid that's really good at football. How do I 1400 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,000 Speaker 1: get a coach to see a tape if they can't 1401 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 1: get to a camp or they can't get to some 1402 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,639 Speaker 1: of the things like how does someone highlight their kid 1403 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:15,639 Speaker 1: if they think their kid is really good? Well, first 1404 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,680 Speaker 1: of all, I think that's the head coaches job, you know, 1405 01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:22,839 Speaker 1: their school. Uh. The other thing, there's not a social 1406 01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,639 Speaker 1: media how about that that's the answer. Get it out 1407 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,639 Speaker 1: on Twitter, get it out on the Instagram, TikTok, whatever 1408 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:34,120 Speaker 1: it may be. UM. But for right now, with huddle 1409 01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:36,760 Speaker 1: the way it is and our coaches being able to 1410 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,000 Speaker 1: go out twice in the spring, Uh, you know, there's 1411 01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 1: not many unturned stones in recruiting. But how they can 1412 01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:47,280 Speaker 1: do that is if they can't get to camp is 1413 01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 1: get tape and have have the coach promote them and 1414 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 1: have themselves promote them on on Twitter, on on social media. Yeah, 1415 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:56,519 Speaker 1: I feel like I was really missed there. I didn't 1416 01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:57,920 Speaker 1: get to the camps, so I feel like I was 1417 01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 1: really just kind of pass app and what social media was? 1418 01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,360 Speaker 1: That's right? No, barely my space? You know? Off that alright? 1419 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: Two final questions for you, favorite TV show, movie and 1420 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,719 Speaker 1: song ever in your whole life?

I kept thinking he's going to get 1425 01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 1: off the island too, man. They never did. And then uh, 1426 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:45,760 Speaker 1: favorite song I'm gonna go currently, I like country on 1427 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 1: Uh Brian by look Brian right now.

Hit one ones that hit you in the heart. 1430 01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,240 Speaker 1: I like those kind of songs. All right, last one 1431 01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,920 Speaker 1: for you, coach. I appreciate your time, but my wife 1432 01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 1: being from Oklahoma, we we just spent the last four 1433 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 1: days over in Oklahoma and your Tulsa and um so, 1434 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:11,680 Speaker 1: I I never liked the Sooners, but I'm having to 1435 01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:15,479 Speaker 1: adjust to not hating the Sooners, and that is an adjustment. Um. 1436 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,599 Speaker 1: And so I am actually very excited about them being 1437 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,920 Speaker 1: in the conference because that's just more games that I 1438 01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:25,880 Speaker 1: get to go to. So I is when they're probably in? 1439 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:27,559 Speaker 1: Do you I'm I'm not going to ask you to 1440 01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 1: speculate a year or anything, but do you think it'll 1441 01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 1: be sooner than that? Right now we're told, Bobby they'll 1442 01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 1: come in. Um. Do I think there's a possibility of it? Yes, 1443 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:44,280 Speaker 1: I do, UM, But right now I think the SEC 1444 01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:49,559 Speaker 1: is pretty steadfast at you know, financially. Um. You know 1445 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna be a big pay buy out by Texas 1446 01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,280 Speaker 1: and Oklahoma, and I'm assuming if they're willing to do that, 1447 01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 1: and then it might speed up a little bit. But 1448 01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:04,240 Speaker 1: right now we're coach, love you good luck. Uh. You know, 1449 01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,600 Speaker 1: this is a national show, so I'm not supposed to 1450 01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,760 Speaker 1: be biased, but I'm the most biased person in my 1451 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:10,760 Speaker 1: whole life. I've at Arkansas helmet on my desk here. 1452 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean that's on camera. So uh, let's get them. 1453 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:16,080 Speaker 1: I'll see you soon, and thanks for your time, Coach. 1454 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 1: Appreciate the interview. Bobby, Thanks for your time. Go off 1455 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,040 Speaker 1: all right, ending thoughts everybody has one sports take. I 1456 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 1: don't care how trivial it is. This is your chance 1457 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:34,519 Speaker 1: to say your opinion and funny, predictive, serious, doesn't have 1458 01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,800 Speaker 1: to be long. Um, we'll start with Adam Hambroke, Adam 1459 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:39,720 Speaker 1: the new guy here to the room. What is your 1460 01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 1: ending thoughts? Oh? Man, it lots being made on this 1461 01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:45,400 Speaker 1: coaches poll right now, and h is the SEC having 1462 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 1: a down year? I'm gonna go with no, Why what's 1463 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 1: being made to the coaches pool? Uh? There's only five 1464 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:54,439 Speaker 1: SEC teams ranked in the coaches poll, and I think 1465 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,840 Speaker 1: that's you know, that's an opportunity for a lot of 1466 01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,160 Speaker 1: conferences say the SEC is not as good either, They're 1467 01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:00,960 Speaker 1: not gonna be as good. Um. A couple first year 1468 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,640 Speaker 1: head coaches and all that stuff. Um, but what I 1469 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:05,880 Speaker 1: think people are missing is like there might be a 1470 01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,760 Speaker 1: first year head coach at Florida, Um, but Florida is 1471 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,000 Speaker 1: still Florida is still gonna be loaded with talent. Uh. 1472 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,759 Speaker 1: Tennessee has a has a fantastic quarterback, hen and Hooker, 1473 01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,560 Speaker 1: UM and L s U like L s US have 1474 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,280 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, and they all they always have talent. They 1475 01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:23,680 Speaker 1: probably will Saven went six and six this first year. 1476 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,639 Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly is a great coach. This year, they'll suck, 1477 01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,759 Speaker 1: but but there's still when you have athletes on the field, 1478 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,559 Speaker 1: like you never know what's gonna happen in a given 1479 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,680 Speaker 1: a weekend. I think they're all those question marks, and 1480 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,120 Speaker 1: there's still all the talent L s u A in 1481 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,080 Speaker 1: Florida and these other teams that aren't in the poll, Like, 1482 01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,559 Speaker 1: there's still gonna be opportunity for a lot of chaos 1483 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of like, uh, you know, these teams 1484 01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,000 Speaker 1: are still gonna have high ceilings that maybe they could 1485 01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,360 Speaker 1: maybe they could reach, but they're also be probably inconsistent 1486 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,360 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I think everything outside of Alabama 1487 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,720 Speaker 1: and Georgia, obviously, everything is gonna be competitive every week 1488 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,160 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a really fun year to watch. 1489 01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:01,320 Speaker 1: And then you have teams like my Razor Backs coming on. Uh, 1490 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna be tough, hard nosed, blue collar kind of teams. 1491 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 1: You got old miss Who's gonna they're gonna win football games. 1492 01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,680 Speaker 1: Kentucky's gonna win football games in South Carolina coming on, 1493 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 1: all that way below Alabama and Georgia all the way 1494 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,640 Speaker 1: down to maybe Vanderbilt in the Missouri. That middle is 1495 01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a really tough, tough road to home this year. 1496 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,560 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be as tough as it always is. 1497 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 1: So no, I don't think it's gonna be down here 1498 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,160 Speaker 1: in the SEC. I think Kentucky can beat Georgia. I 1499 01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,599 Speaker 1: think they. I think they can. I don't think they wouldn't, 1500 01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,200 Speaker 1: But I think Kentucky can beat Georgia. I think Tennessee 1501 01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,720 Speaker 1: could possibly if the whole freaking world turns exactly right, 1502 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,679 Speaker 1: they'd have a shot at it. But I think that's 1503 01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:37,680 Speaker 1: a bit of an unfair headline. When I saw an 1504 01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 1: article too, like I see down only five teams like 1505 01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:43,639 Speaker 1: teamine all I SEC teams like a moote votes getting 1506 01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:49,400 Speaker 1: um so uh and Christmas comes slow for kids, water 1507 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:53,599 Speaker 1: is wet, and the SEC is overrated. That no, no, no, no, no, 1508 01:16:53,960 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 1: what what universal truths? If people say yeah, yes, not uh, 1509 01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,160 Speaker 1: let's go to Eddie, give me your ending thought or 1510 01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: you're not gonna like this. And especially since two people 1511 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:06,960 Speaker 1: picked the Bucks to win the whole thing this year, 1512 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: look the Bucks. This is and I'm not being funny. 1513 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,240 Speaker 1: The Bucks will start this season oh and four and 1514 01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna shock the world, there's oh my gosh, Tom Brady. 1515 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,240 Speaker 1: The first four games, their first four games to start 1516 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. That's that's the lost is an automatical 1517 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:25,679 Speaker 1: and a shocker. They're gonna play the Saints. They're gonna 1518 01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:27,439 Speaker 1: lose that one too, and then they go. I think 1519 01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:28,760 Speaker 1: they have a better shot to lose that one though 1520 01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,040 Speaker 1: than the first. I think because the Saints have owned 1521 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 1: them the last couple of years. Too stupid, you don't 1522 01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,599 Speaker 1: blow it all stupid takes go ahead, and then week 1523 01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,559 Speaker 1: three they play the Packers, will lose that week before 1524 01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 1: they play the Chiefs. I'm telling you, Owen four, their 1525 01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 1: first win will be against the Falcons, and it's gonna 1526 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:48,840 Speaker 1: have the NFL going, oh my gosh, what's going on 1527 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,479 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady? This is crazy. I can see one 1528 01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,599 Speaker 1: in three probably probably if you're asking me too into. 1529 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:56,880 Speaker 1: I think Green Bay is gonna be interesting to Seaffle Zards, 1530 01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:58,599 Speaker 1: the number one righte receiver that they hope he is. 1531 01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 1: I think to see who the I in Kansas City is. 1532 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:03,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna catch balls on the outside from the homes 1533 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:05,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be fine, somebody. It's gonna be somebody. My 1534 01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:07,519 Speaker 1: homes is too good. For there not to be somebody. 1535 01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:10,240 Speaker 1: It's like when Peyton Manning, it didn't matter who. It 1536 01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:12,479 Speaker 1: didn't matter if it was Eric Decker, it didn't matter. 1537 01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,479 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning made somebody a fantasy star because he just 1538 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 1: had some UM. So that would be interesting. But I 1539 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,760 Speaker 1: think they could be two and two or three and one. Yeah, 1540 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:21,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I like how you're certain that they will. 1541 01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:29,559 Speaker 1: I'm not starting anything something. Uh, let's go to kick off, Kevin, 1542 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,960 Speaker 1: your final ending thought, kickoff, Kevin. Alright. Clemson had what 1543 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,040 Speaker 1: people called a down year last year. They still went 1544 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:38,880 Speaker 1: ten and three. UM quarterback DJ Lui Ngo Lele. I'm 1545 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 1: pretty sure I said that right, and you killed that. 1546 01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: That wasn't bad. Yeah, and uh, he was one of 1547 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:44,920 Speaker 1: the favorites coming in to win the Heisman. He had 1548 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,920 Speaker 1: a down year as well. I think had ten interceptions 1549 01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,160 Speaker 1: and only nine touchdowns. But I think they bounced back 1550 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 1: this year because a CC is getting pretty weak, especially 1551 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 1: with Sam Hartman out for wake four is and I 1552 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:58,599 Speaker 1: say he is the best sleeper bet for your money. 1553 01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:02,040 Speaker 1: He's at plus forty five hundred right now, so if 1554 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:03,800 Speaker 1: you put your mind. I actually put twenty bucks on 1555 01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 1: them this morning, that'll pay me nine hundred if you win, 1556 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:10,760 Speaker 1: so do it for me. That's interesting about Clemson because yes, 1557 01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,360 Speaker 1: everybody says they had a bad year down here, but 1558 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,240 Speaker 1: they lost them early, but they were over in everybody's mind. 1559 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 1: They really played well for most of the year after that, 1560 01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,880 Speaker 1: they did have a down year Clemson standards. Also, they're 1561 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:23,640 Speaker 1: not gonna they don't mess with the n I l 1562 01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: Really that's a weird thing. They're not big. They don't 1563 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,000 Speaker 1: do it at all. Yeah, they're just like they're probably 1564 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:36,479 Speaker 1: who knows, but I think I think that's actually a 1565 01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:41,599 Speaker 1: great pick on that. Plus yeah, I mean it's I mean, 1566 01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:51,920 Speaker 1: he's rich. Most tattoos, somebody, Mike, what you got final one? 1567 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,000 Speaker 1: I think the fate of the Razorbacks depends on what 1568 01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 1: you do with the stuff you got from the Estates Thill, 1569 01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:59,960 Speaker 1: meaning that if you take it and actually do something 1570 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:01,960 Speaker 1: with it, they'll be great. If not, it's gonna be 1571 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,160 Speaker 1: a bad season. They're all gonna sit in your room. 1572 01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:07,439 Speaker 1: Right What about to do? Why did you buy it? 1573 01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do anything with it. I don't anybody 1574 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,680 Speaker 1: else to have it. I wanted to. I wanted to 1575 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,840 Speaker 1: be taken care of very much, so all right, uh, 1576 01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,280 Speaker 1: and then my final take is going to be I 1577 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 1: think that if Old Miss finish his second in the West, 1578 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:24,639 Speaker 1: and I hate to say that, I think Lane Kiffin 1579 01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 1: is a real candidate for Coach of the Year because 1580 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,600 Speaker 1: the media loves them, and if Old Miss can be 1581 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:33,559 Speaker 1: competitive with Alabama, I don't think they'll win the West. 1582 01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,200 Speaker 1: But if Old Miss, I think Lane Kiffin has a 1583 01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,720 Speaker 1: real shot because of their fat infatuation with him, and 1584 01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,360 Speaker 1: he's on TikTok. Now he's kind of killing on TikTok 1585 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,800 Speaker 1: a little bit, he is. I think that all kind 1586 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,519 Speaker 1: of plays into it. I think Lane Kiffin doesn't happen 1587 01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,040 Speaker 1: with the national championship, but if he can win ten games, 1588 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,760 Speaker 1: he could be the coach of the Year this year. Um, 1589 01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:53,880 Speaker 1: So we're gonna end this show. But before we do 1590 01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:57,120 Speaker 1: the whistle we I wanted to end on Skinnered simple Man, 1591 01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 1: just because I like that intro. We can't because licensing issues. 1592 01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:02,439 Speaker 1: But like kind of version called what Mike complicated dude. 1593 01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 1: It sounds kind of like it but not really, but 1594 01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:06,960 Speaker 1: we have access to it, you know, it sounds like 1595 01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,400 Speaker 1: complicated dude. Okay, here we go. This is what When 1596 01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,000 Speaker 1: I do my final thing here. Mike's gonna play complicated 1597 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:17,599 Speaker 1: dude from now on. Go ahead, it does sound good. Yeah, yeah, hey, thanks, 1598 01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,280 Speaker 1: it's our first episode. The credits will come up in 1599 01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 1: a second, and usually I'll do my ending thought over this, 1600 01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:24,840 Speaker 1: but I and now I get to choose we had 1601 01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: the best show, the first first day, best show, and 1602 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:28,120 Speaker 1: they get to blow the whistle, and that'll be the 1603 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:32,760 Speaker 1: first whistle out.
