1 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: And just like that, we're back in another edition of the 2 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: Late Kick Extra podcast Tuesday morning, September fourteenth, Year of 3 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: Our Lord, twenty twenty one. As usual on Tuesday and Thursday, 4 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: jam packed wall to wall mail bag. You've got the cues, 5 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: I've got the responses. I don't know if I would 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: go as farst to say I've got the answers. In fact, 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: I'll tell you I don't in most cases. But that's 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: what's fun. That is what is so fun about this. 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: Speaking of fun, let me just hit this right off 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: the top. I kind of touched on it on Latekick Live, 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: but we're a little bit looser here in the podcast, 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: so we can discuss things more openly and more relaxed. 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: What a fun trip to Iowa, I mean, what a 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: fun trip. I know a lot of you follow along 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: on Instagram so you can see the story updates. I 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: show you as much as I can Internet pending. Of course, 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: we didn't have the best of signals Saturday, but man, 18 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: what a fun trip. From the time I was really 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: still here at BNA, that's Nashville's airport, the time I 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: was at BNA to the time we got into Des 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: Moines Friday, night that would have been Yeah, Friday night. 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: I was running into you guys all over the place. 23 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: I took so many pictures. I had conversations with you guys. 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: And it's so funny because the themes are always the same. 25 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: I have conversations with you guys, but you say a 26 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: version of the same thing to me anytime you're talking 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: about the show, anytime you're telling me what you like 28 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: about it. There may be some nuance and some odds 29 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: and ends, but you guys all come back to the 30 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: same thing. Thank you for producing what we do not 31 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: get elsewhere. And it's funny because it's true because the 32 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: things you guys like about the show are the same 33 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: things that. 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: I was feeling. That's why I started doing this. 35 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: There used to be a lot of what you and 36 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: I want and like, and it's not out there so 37 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: much anymore. At least it's certainly not abundant and plentiful supply, 38 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: and it's certainly not coming from the same national entities 39 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: that we used to get it from. To be kind 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: and not name names, and so let's do it ourselves, 41 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: and so that's what you and I do. We do 42 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: it ourselves, and it's very participatory seventeen syllables there. 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: I hope it's a word. 44 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: And if you don't believe that, and if the Q 45 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: and a mail bags and the constant back and forth 46 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: I have with you guys isn't enough. Was anyone watching 47 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: college game Day Saturday morning? 48 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: I put out the challenge. 49 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: I told you, if one of you gets Late Kick 50 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: or PAYT State logos on air, there is a reward 51 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: coming your way. Well, sure enough, we got it done. 52 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: Calvin Marx University of Iowa class of twenty twenty three 53 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: emailed me afterwards and said, here's the evidence. And he's 54 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: got a nice smiling picture of himself with the poster 55 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: he got on air, and he laid out his whole. 56 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: Story for me. 57 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: So we are gonna do something really fun. I can't 58 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: tell you quite yet what the free thing is we're 59 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: gonna hand out because I'm having it made. I hope 60 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: to be able to tell you maybe as soon as 61 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: tonight on Late Kick Live, but it may be Thursday. 62 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: It's gonna be very unique, and it's gonna be something 63 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: that each one of you can get your hands on. 64 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: If you pull this off, if you get this show, 65 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: if you get our show, any kind of truly regional 66 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: or national notoriety. You're getting something from me, and it's 67 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: gonna be unique. It's going to be something that we 68 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: only give for this specific thing. I've already got the 69 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: name picked out. I know exactly what it's going to be. 70 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: It is something you can hold it. It is tangible 71 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: in nature, it is an object, and it's going to 72 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: be really unique unto us, which is pretty much the 73 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: common theme for everything we do on this show. 74 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: So let's go through the mail bag. 75 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you some more things to think 76 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: about and marinate on as we move forward. This morning, 77 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: of course, we are headed to Penn State this Saturday. 78 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: Auburn at Penn State the white out. I've never been 79 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: there before, much less to see a white out. And 80 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: that leads me into my first question, and it's from 81 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: several of you asking essentially, why did you choose that 82 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: over Alabama at Florida. So go back to the criteria 83 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: when we talk about the Renaissance Tour and where we 84 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: choose to go any given week. What are we looking for. 85 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: Number One, we're looking for hopefully a very very competitive game, 86 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: and number two, we're trying to be at the biggest 87 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: games so we want there to be marquee appeal. We 88 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: want it to be very competitive. We're looking to experience 89 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: the best environments. We're looking to see as many teams 90 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: as possible. And so when I thought about down the road, 91 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: I thought about the fact that there will be other 92 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: opportunities for me to see Florida. For instance, I would 93 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: highly suspect I'll be at the Georgia Florida game. There 94 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: will certainly be several other opportunities to see Alabama. Old 95 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: Miss Bama is a possibility, Bama Texas A and M's 96 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: a possibility. There are several opportunities for Bama. So I 97 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: don't know that I'm going to have a bunch of 98 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: other chances to see Auburn or especially Penn State. I 99 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: don't know that I'll ever be able to see that 100 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: white out game because that only happens once a year. 101 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: And also, if I think about the opportunity to see 102 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: the more competitive matchup, we don't know how it's going 103 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 1: to shake out ultimately. But you're playing percentages the Auburn 104 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: Penn State game. The line's four and a half or five, 105 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: whatever it is. Right now, Alabama's favored by over two touchdowns. 106 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: On the road, and Alabama's just more likely to get 107 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: margin on someone than either Penn State or Auburn will 108 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: be on each other. So we've got the environment there, 109 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: we've got the uniqueness, we've got exposure to two teams 110 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: for the first time and maybe the only time this year, 111 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: and we've got the opportunity for a really really close ballgame. 112 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: I think all the edges were there. 113 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: So in the end, also, these people are all going 114 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: to wear white T shirts just like me. How could 115 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: I ever turn that kind of environment down. 116 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: I couldn't. I couldn't. 117 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: I tried to rationalize Alabama Florida. It's not like it 118 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: would have been a bad choice. But in the end, 119 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: there were too many things that Auburn Penn State had 120 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: going for it. But get back to the sentence I 121 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: started to say, like two minutes ago, you never really 122 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: know how it's going to pan out. Think back to 123 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: just last week I ended up going to Iowa Iowa State. 124 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: That game felt to me like one that was destined 125 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: to be a one possession back and forth affair decided 126 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter. I just did not see 127 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: any kind of scenario. I think the exact words out 128 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: of my Mouth were minus a freak turnover game. I 129 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: don't see a scenario where it's a double digit game. Well, 130 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: we got the freak turnover game. We had a minus 131 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: four turnover game. And so there I am in the 132 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: Iowa State press box before our game started, and I'm 133 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: watching Oregon and Ohio State in a classic and the 134 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: underdog of two touchdowns is actually winning. One of the 135 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: reasons why I chose Iowa State Iowa was because I was. 136 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: Worried about the potential blowout factor. 137 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: When you're looking at it down the road and you 138 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: know Ohio State's going to be favored like they are, 139 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: you always have that in the back of your mind 140 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: and lo and behold, that's. 141 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: The one that pans out. 142 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: Also, Texas Arkansas would have been great to be at 143 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: because even though that ended up being a blowout, you 144 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: would have gotten to experience that home environment. So I'm 145 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: saying all this to say, you never really know how 146 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: it's going to shake out, but I'd be interested if 147 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: you know my criteria. I'd be interested for someone to 148 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: make the case that I should not have gone to 149 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: Penn State, because man, that ended up not being a 150 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,559 Speaker 1: no brainer, but it ended up being a fairly solid choice, 151 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: a fairly clear choice in the end. But I really 152 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: do appreciate you guys have really latched onto this, the 153 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: whole renaissance tour thing, and now that we kind of 154 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: publicize which town we're going to be in, I'm already 155 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: getting hit up from people in the various media markets 156 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania to do some media, to do some interaction 157 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: before we head up there. I'll be in Pittsburgh, I 158 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: think Friday night, but we'll head over to State College 159 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: on Saturday. I mean, that's going to be so incredible. 160 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: But what I love about it is, as is usually 161 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: the case, you guys have blown it up. Every time 162 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: I put out that release video on Sunday night, you 163 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: guys retweet the Bejesus out of it, and so a 164 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: lot of people see it, and a lot of people 165 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: are taking notice. We don't have a marketing department. For 166 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: the emptieenth time, I'm telling you you are our marketing department. 167 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: And the reason I tell you these sorts of things, 168 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: even though it's not a Q and A on a 169 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: Q and A podcast, is because I want you to 170 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: know again and again how much you're impacting the growth 171 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: of the show. So we're looking forward to Pennsylvania, and 172 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: we're looking forward to penn State, namely Saturday, and we 173 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: are doing a lot of work in those media markets 174 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: leading up to that game. That's about all I'll tell 175 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: you for now, or let's roll on here. Corey asked 176 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: a question that I'm really gonna hit hard tonight on 177 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: Late Kick Live, but I'll go ahead and start touching 178 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: on it now. He said, this is Corey, I have 179 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: a question for Late Kick Extra. Do you think USC 180 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: fired Clay Helton too early or too late? I think 181 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: too late. Absolutely. When this news broke today, I thought 182 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: Chase Goodbread put it about as well as anyone. And 183 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: Chase Goodbred said, if you're firing a coach two games 184 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: into the season, then you fired him. He used the 185 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: O word off season. He said, you're firing him an 186 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: off season too late. And that's accurate. That's totally accurate. 187 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: It wreaked, absolutely wreaked of. 188 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: The Less Miles debacle back in twenty sixteen where they 189 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: retained him and it was very much nip and tuck. 190 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: You heard rumors going in the game day the final 191 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: game of the previous season, and then they I think 192 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: they beat Arkansas on, the players carry him off on 193 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: their shoulders. 194 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: You got all kind of stories about. 195 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: People meeting that day in boxes and Tiger Stadium, And 196 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: in the end, regardless of how the story actually played out, 197 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: they ended up retaining less Miles for whatever reason. But 198 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: he was never safe. The ice never got thicker under 199 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: his feet, it was always thin. And so they go 200 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: into next year. I remember this, It's one of my 201 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: most vivid memories. I'm covering the Auburn LSU game and 202 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: it looks like LSU wins on a walk off touchdown, 203 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: then instant replay overturned, and then Auburn wins, and I'm 204 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: right there on the field. I mean, Leonard Fournette's on 205 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: that team. They had a loaded team, but they lost 206 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: the game. And so I go up the LSU tunnel 207 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: and I'm looking. There's Joe Oliva currently or at the time, 208 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: he was currently the athletic director at LSU, and it's 209 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: just so obvious what's coming. And Les Miles comes back 210 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: out onto the field to do his postgame coaches show 211 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: his wife's on the field. She has leaned against a 212 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: rod iron gate. She will not look at him. She 213 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: had her back to him, so he's doing his postgame 214 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: coaches show, which is normal. They normally film the show 215 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: right there on the field in an empty stadium before 216 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: they even get on the bus to go back to 217 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: the airport. So he does what turned out to be 218 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: his last coaches show, and then he gets fired, and 219 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: you're sitting there thinking to yourself, what that you saw 220 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: from Les Miles in this loss? Did you not already know? 221 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: And I think the same thing with Clay Helton that 222 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: you saw Saturday in a loss to Stanford, had you 223 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: not already seen before? My point there is, if you 224 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: did not fire him at the end of last year, 225 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: then he entered this season, is still the head coach 226 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: at USC. 227 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: And if the. 228 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: Status quo is he exited twenty twenty as still being 229 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: good enough in your mind's eyes to be the head coach, 230 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: there has to be something more. There has to be 231 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: a new found negative that happens, right, and there was 232 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: nothing newly found. 233 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: It was just more the same USC. And so it's bad. 234 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: I mean it's really bad because now we're gonna have 235 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: an entire lame duck season of recruiting that falls off 236 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: a cliff, just like it did a couple of cycles ago, 237 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: even when the staff was in place. I'm interested to 238 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: see how this goes, because I'm telling you right now, 239 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: I was talking to someone in the agent world today 240 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: and they said, I know a lot of people in 241 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: your world are about to put out all these hot 242 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: lists and they're gonna put out top names to watch. 243 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, in my world, this is the 244 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: agent talking. He said, no agent worth his or her salt, 245 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: and no legitimate head coaching candidate worth his salt is 246 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna even remotely consider the USC job until they see 247 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: what happens at LSU, which is the other elephant in 248 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: the room right now. There is a belief, independent of 249 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: what your or my opinions are, there is a belief 250 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: in the coaching and agent world that LSU is going 251 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: to open up, and people are looking at it in 252 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: that world and they've got dollar signs in their eyes. 253 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: They are never ever gonna let a candidate say yes 254 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: either behind the scenes, back channel, or just out front 255 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: for everyone to see to USC. They're never gonna say 256 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: yes to USC until they know what LSU is gonna do. 257 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: Even if let's just say, let's just take some names 258 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: that are out there, even if Luke fickled at Cincinnati 259 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: were to tell his agent today, Hey, if they offer, 260 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: then I want it. If USC offers, I want it, 261 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: and then the agent says, well, actually, they reached out 262 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 1: and they want you, So you want me to go 263 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: ahead and agree to this. That's never the way you 264 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: should handle that. What you got to do is you 265 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: got to finish your season because you owe it to 266 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: your players and your organization, and you got a really 267 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: good team there at Cincinnati. 268 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 2: Two. 269 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: You finish it, and then you watch what happens at LSU, because, 270 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: believe me, if LSU is going to open up, I 271 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: don't think it'll take to the end of the season 272 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: for it to happen. And so you got to wait 273 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: and see what happens at LSU. 274 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 2: And even if it opens up and you. 275 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: Don't want it, you float your name out there like 276 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: you do, so that a bidding war ensues. I mean, 277 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: this is negotiation and leverage one oh one type stuff. 278 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: So I know a lot of lists are going to 279 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: be put out there. I would be shocked if anything 280 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: happens before the end of the year in terms of 281 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: hiring a new head coach. Rogue Viking up next. He said, 282 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: question if Florida puts three hundred plus on the ground 283 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: versus Bama. Is that a padlock stat that denotes an 284 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: upset in the swamp this weekend? For those unfamiliar, the 285 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: padlock stat is the stat that we, if we know 286 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: it on Friday, don't even have to watch the game 287 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: to know the outcome. So if Florida, if you told 288 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: me on Friday Florida was going to have three hundred 289 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: yards rushing against Alabama, would that be a padlock stat? Well, 290 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: my first inclination would be yes, it probably is. I 291 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: certainly don't see that happening. But if they were to 292 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: run for three hundred on Bama, yeah, it's a pretty 293 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: good indication. You gave yourself a good chance of winning. 294 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: Now here's what could overturn that. Here's why you don't 295 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: know for sure. I again don't expect this. But what 296 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: if you were just moving it up and down the 297 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: field between the twenties, but then when it compacted in 298 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: the red zone, you stalled and you either had to 299 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: settle for threes over sevens or you turn the ball 300 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: over a couple of times down there. That's how you 301 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: end up out gaining someone and you put a ton 302 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: of yards in the box score, but you don't put 303 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: nearly as many points on the board as you should. 304 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: That happened a couple of times this past weekend, Ohio 305 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: State most notably so. I think it would be a 306 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: long way down the road to padlock stat. I could 307 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: not just guarantee it off the top of my head, 308 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: but that's going to be a fun one to watch 309 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: because I would imagine the padlock stat is not going 310 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: to be ground yards. 311 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: I think a lot of. 312 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: It is going to be tied to how successful can 313 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: either Emory Jones or Anthony Richardson be throwing the ball 314 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: against Alabama. You don't run the ball to beat Alabama. 315 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean history has shown us this crystal clear. You've 316 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: got to be able to throw the ball, and you've 317 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: got to be able to do it with precision, and 318 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: you got to be able to do it with consistency 319 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: to beat them. Even the mobile quarterbacks. One of the 320 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: great myths in college football has been for a while 321 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: is the mobile quarterback beats Nick Saban and it's because 322 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: of their legs. Well, in a way that may be true, 323 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: but it's what their legs by them time to do 324 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: with their arm on any given play, maybe broken plays, 325 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: or maybe the RPO stuff. You got to be able 326 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: to throw the ball to beat Alabama. Hey, by the way, 327 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: speaking of that Florida quarterback deal that I'm going to 328 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: talk about a whole lot more tonight, Anthony Richardson is 329 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: going to be the guy there. I know Florida fans 330 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: are well aware of this, but maybe outside if the 331 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: last thing you knew about Florida was what your local 332 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: preview magazine said, and you haven't really watched them against 333 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: inferior competition the first couple of weeks, maybe you haven't 334 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: seen Anthony Richardson. That's the future at quarterback for Florida. 335 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: Dan Mullen's trying to fight it, at least publicly. Internally, 336 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: he knows infinitely more about that position than we do. 337 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: He knows what I'm saying is true now. What he 338 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: probably also sees in practice is he sees all the 339 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: mistakes that Anthony Richardson is making, which we can't see. 340 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: In fairness, if Dan would open practice up every day, 341 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: we could sees it. But he knows that he wants 342 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: a guy on the field. It can't do it wrong. 343 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: We've seen Anthony Richardson do some stuff, right, Dan Mullens 344 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: seen all the stuff that he does wrong still, and 345 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: so when you just when you see him pop against 346 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: inferior competition, immediately you say he looks better than I 347 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: Marie Jones, and he has that's not even disputable at 348 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: this point. Anyone making that argument is insane. I mean, 349 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: Dan Mullen or anyone else, he has looked the better 350 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: of the two quarterbacks. But what's going to happen if 351 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: you start him or you playing against Alabama is for 352 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: the first time, the margins are really gonna shrink and 353 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: the windows are going to narrow considerably, and the time 354 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: you have on that clock to make a decision, it 355 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: gets wound down and you have to start worrying about 356 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: developing that guy for the long term, that guy being 357 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, developing him for the long term, versus doing 358 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: what may end up giving you the best shot relatively speaking, 359 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: to beat Alabama. That is something that even if you're 360 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: not a Florida or an Alabama fan, I would encourage 361 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: you to pay attention to that. We're going to talk 362 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: about it a lot more later tonight. Next up, Kenneth 363 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: hit me up now. I can't read his whole email. 364 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: He is a Texas A and M fan, and he 365 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: would in Boulder. Well, I guess Denver for the A 366 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: and M Colorado game this past week, and he was 367 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: talking about the mixed experience that he had with some 368 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: of the Colorado faithful out there, and so I'm gonna 369 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: skip through all that and I'm gonna get to the question. 370 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: He said, what are the classiest fans you have ever 371 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: been around? Now, class does not mean no trash talking. 372 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: I just mean a general level of you could say 373 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: that around your mother versus you couldn't say that around 374 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: your mother. There's always that fan at the game, but 375 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: it seemed this weekend like it was the entirety of 376 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: the fan base. Now, again, these are Kenneth's words, not mine. 377 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: He may have just run across a rough pocket of 378 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo fans, So I'm not gonna cast aspersions. You know 379 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: how rarely I use that word. But I will tell you, Kenneth, 380 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: I've run across several really good fan bases. Now here's 381 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: what's funny. LSU fans have always treated me great. And 382 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm about the only non Louisiana who walks in there 383 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: who gets treated great because most of the time. If 384 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: you're not one of them, then you're walking into hostile territory. 385 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: But early on, when we were doing Late Kick independently, 386 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm telling you back in twenty eighteen and nineteen, when 387 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: we first had the actual name Late Kick, when I'd 388 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: switched it over to what is the brand that you 389 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: largely know today. That was when that twenty nineteen season 390 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: was approaching, and I felt so confident about LSU that 391 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: spring and summer what some people will call the off season. 392 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 2: We don't for obvious reasons. 393 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: But I felt so good, and I was just out 394 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: front about it, and I wasn't really trying to create 395 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: any hype. I thought the hype was deserved. I thought 396 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: there should have been more hype. I wasn't really trying 397 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: to create any I guess, but LSU fans latched onto 398 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: it and they passed it around. They passed our show 399 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: around Louisiana. We were bigger in Louisiana. I remember some 400 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: of our early traffic. We were bigger in Louisiana than 401 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: any other state, and that includes the state I was 402 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: broadcasting from the state of Georgia. Our numbers in Louisiana 403 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: were bonkers. So when we went down there for I 404 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: think the Auburn game early that year, and I was 405 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: getting recognized. Just a few months really into the season, 406 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: I was being recognized. I thought that was just the 407 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: craziest thing, and to wonder what the Internet will do 408 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: and what YouTube gives you the ability to do. But 409 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: ever since then, when I've been around LSU fans, even 410 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: if I speak negatively about the program, they understand where 411 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm coming from. I mean, it's great for my show 412 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: when LSU is performing at a high level. Make no mistake, 413 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 1: I have bias. I absolutely have bias. There are programs 414 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: that I root for, and LSU's one of them because 415 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: those folks have been so great for this show. They've 416 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: been great to this show. They've been great for me. 417 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: I walked through the tailgate area at LSU and I 418 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: could eat until I was five hundred pounds if I 419 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: wanted to. That's how great they receive me down there. 420 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: So that is one I'll tell you. One of the 421 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: best places that I've ever been was just this past weekend. 422 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever been treated nicer on 423 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: a person to person basis than I was in Iowa 424 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: and from the Iowa and Iowa State fans. It was incredible. 425 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: We were so well received up there. And another place 426 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: in the sort of what you would call the Upper 427 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: Midwest was South Bend when I went up there in 428 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen for the Georgia game. Those people were they 429 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: were exhibiting what we would call southern comfort and southern hospitality. 430 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: They were exhibiting that, and we were in northern Indiana 431 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: and that really left an impression on me. I'm telling 432 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: you a lot of Georgia folks who made the trip 433 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: up there, they felt the same way. No one that 434 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: I've spoken to at least had a bad experience on 435 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: that trip. So Iowa, Notre Dame, well, Iowa State, but 436 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: Iowa and Iowa State. 437 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 2: Notre Dame, LSU. 438 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: And I've been to the places like Georgia and Auburn 439 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: and Bama. I've been there dozens of times of peace 440 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: and it's always fine. So those are mainstays for me. 441 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: But the areas that I don't get to get to 442 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: as much. I love my trip to Texas A and 443 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: M two years ago when I went out there for 444 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: the Bama game. I loved that one. There are places 445 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: I want to go to, and that's what I'm focused 446 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: on this weekend so much for because I get to 447 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: check another one off when we go to Penn State, 448 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: and I imagine we'll have a great trip. I don't 449 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: know that I've had bad trips. I mean there have 450 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: been trips that some are better than others. I don't 451 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: know that I've really had bad ones. I love hearing 452 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: from you guys, though, because you have a different perspective 453 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: than me. A lot of you go on the road 454 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: as a rival fan, and that's totally different. Like if 455 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: you go to Baton Rouge and you're a Bama fan 456 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: or you're an Auburn fan, that's a different world, and 457 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: that's a hostile world. And hey, I got all the 458 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: appreciation of respect in the world for you guys for 459 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: being willing to go in there because they do their 460 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: job as a home fan base of making that place 461 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: really intimidating. 462 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 2: And I think that's your job. That's what you're supposed 463 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 2: to do. You're supposed to create a. 464 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,239 Speaker 1: Little feeling of uneasiness, certainly not resorting to any kind 465 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: of violence or anything like that, but it's supposed to 466 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: feel a little intimidating when they come into your building. 467 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 2: And if it doesn't, then maybe you need to check. 468 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: Yourself a little bit. But that means you can still 469 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: be hospitable while you do that. But it was a 470 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: great trip this past weekend. I mean, everybody from fans 471 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: to a lot of the staff there at Iowa State 472 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: I spoke to a couple of staffers from Iowa I 473 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: spoke to. 474 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: It just shows you the reach of the show. 475 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: You guys would not believe on a week to week basis, 476 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: how many folks on coaching staffs and recruiting staffs and 477 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: compliance department personnel reach out and just say, hey, I 478 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: liked what you said the other day about this. Hey 479 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: just wanted to let you know we were watching the 480 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: other day. We've got a really good reach that you 481 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: guys have allowed us to have with this show. And 482 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: so it's always funny to know who's watching because you 483 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: never know, and then they tell you, and then all 484 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden you realize, oh, they've been watching the 485 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: whole time because they know specific things about the show 486 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: that you would only know if you watched and listen. 487 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's always fun to go on the road 488 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: and to meet new people. That's what I like to 489 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: get out on the road for I don't like to 490 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: sit in a studio fifteen hundred miles away from you 491 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: and pretend like I'm one of you. 492 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: There's only one. 493 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: Way to be a part of college football fans, and 494 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: that's to really be one. And the only way you 495 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: can be one is to do what you guys do, 496 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: and what we do. We go to games, talk about 497 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: and watch them on TV, congregate with each other. 498 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 2: That's what we do. 499 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: And so I was having fun doing that this past 500 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: weekend and look forward to win it the rest of 501 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: the season. Got some challenging decisions coming up to make 502 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: about where we go, but boy, what a blessing to 503 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: be able to do that. That's a job, that's literally 504 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: the job. I'm not going to go down this road again. 505 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: I've done it the past two podcasts, but just know 506 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate you allowing me to be able to do it. 507 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: Jeff's got a really interesting question up next here. I'm 508 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: gonna ask it. I like to do this sometimes I 509 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: want to ask it. Let's toss to the ad break 510 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: and give you some time to think about it, and 511 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: then we'll come back. I'll give you my answer because 512 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: I went both ways on this, but I think I know. 513 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 2: Where I want to go? 514 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: He said, is it possible in today's college football to 515 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: win a national championship without a first round talent at quarterback? 516 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: Think about that? Can you win a title without a 517 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: first round talent at quarterback? And I'll answer it right 518 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: after this. So again Jeff's question here, is it possible 519 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: in today's college football to win a national championship without 520 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: a first round talent at quarterback? I think the answer 521 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: is no as the game is currently constructed. But I 522 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: think it's a little bit trick question because you could 523 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: certainly make the playoff. You can make the playoff. People 524 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: have done it. I mean Notre Dame has done it 525 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: a couple of times. You can make the playoff without 526 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: having a first round talent at quarterback. I think one 527 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: of the misconceptions out there is people think those are interchangeable. 528 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: It's like Major League Baseball. You know, if you make 529 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: the playoff, then you're in it. Just make it to 530 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: the playoff and then let the chips fall where they may. 531 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: Because there's a feeling, especially in Major League Baseball in 532 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: October you have five or seven game series. Anything can happen, 533 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: and baseball is, you know, such a tightly compacted game 534 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: where the margin for error and the margins overall are 535 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: so microscopic you can't tell who the better team is 536 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: in a one game setting. 537 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: This is college football. 538 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: You absolutely can tell the difference between Alabama and Notre 539 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: Dame even in a one game setting. So Jeff's question, 540 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: if it were can you make the playoff would be 541 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: totally different. Can you win a championship? I don't think 542 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: you can with the importance placed on the quarterback position, 543 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: how much of a premium there is there, and knowing 544 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: that even in year like this, like I think twenty 545 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: twenty one has already think about it gotten off to 546 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: the exact kind of start. You and I talked about 547 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: it getting off to the entire summer, and that is 548 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: kind of having that seven vibe. It may not end 549 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: up being that crazy, but it's got the vibe of 550 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: anything can truly happen any given Saturday, And you don't 551 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: have these two or three programs on an inevitable death 552 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: march to the playoff. It doesn't feel like that. Clemson 553 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like that they've already gotten beaten. You've seen 554 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: their vulnerability. Ohio State's already been beaten. You've seen their vulnerability. 555 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: Some of you just flat out don't believe Georgia can 556 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: do it. So even though they're playing at a high 557 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: level right now, you think they'll screw it up. Florida's 558 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: not at that level right now, Texas A and M's 559 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: not at that level. 560 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 2: Who do we have? 561 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Oklahoma almost got beat by two lane. You don't think 562 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: they're at that level right now. The West coast Oregon 563 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: is just now emerging. We don't really know Alabama's that team. 564 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: But that's the point I'm trying to make. Even in 565 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: a year where it seems like we have a ton 566 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: of volatility and a ton of you know, maybe if 567 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: you want to call it Perry at the very top tier, 568 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: then you can call it that. But you still, even 569 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: at all that, are gonna have at least one team 570 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: that rises to the top come playoff time and is 571 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 1: decidedly too good at quarterback for you to beat unless 572 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: you've got that kind of quarterback talent of your own. 573 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: It may be Alabama this year, or it could be 574 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: that Oklahoma gets on a roll and they end up 575 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: being that team, or maybe Clemson does, or Ohio State 576 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: gets their act together defensively enough to where CJ. Stroud 577 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: continues to evolve and they are that team. My point is, 578 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: by the time we get to that December decision day 579 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: where you're picking the playoff field, there will be at 580 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: least one team, if not more, in that field that 581 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: you look at and you say, in order to beat 582 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: that team, we have to either a B plus four 583 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: turnovers like Iowa was last week, or B we have 584 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: to be able to match them in trade points with them. 585 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: And to do that, we're not going to do it 586 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: with good, solid tailback talent. We're gonna have to do 587 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: it throwing the football with a high level quarterback. So, Jeff, 588 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: I'm going to say my answer is no, if you 589 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: think you are capable of winning a title without true 590 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: first round talent at quarterback, I'd be very interested to 591 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: know which data points you're using and which teams out 592 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: there or team singular or plural you think can accomplish 593 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: that this year or any year. Okay, Justin is up next. 594 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: He has what we would call a classic conundrum that 595 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: can only exist in this sport. First off, he gave 596 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: me a shout out because he was an undergrad at 597 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: Auburn back when I was in Columbus and Auburn is 598 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: in the Columbus TV market, so he would see my show. 599 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: So he's making some references here that almost none of 600 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: you would understand. But thank you justin so he said 601 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of background on my question, as I said, 602 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: I found your show. When I was an undergrad at Auburn. 603 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: I'd go to almost every game home and away as 604 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: a member of the marching band for five years. After 605 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: finishing my undergrad at Auburn, I went back for more 606 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: school after a PhD here in Happy Valley at Penn State. 607 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: My question is simple, who do I root for Saturday 608 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: when it's Auburn at Penn State. If Auburn gets the 609 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: dub this would be a huge boost for Brian Harson 610 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: from a recruiting and fan buy in perspective. But if 611 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: Penn State wins, I think it gives them an outside 612 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: shot at the playoff with the Ohio State loss last week. 613 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: What do I do? Well? What does he do? People? 614 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: I'm asking you guys, what does he do? 615 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Because I really don't know where I'd be here, I 616 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: think even if I were to side with Auburn. So 617 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: let's say you go the undergrad route and back to 618 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: your roots in Auburn. What if you're in that environment, 619 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: What if you're in the stadium, or at the very 620 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: least you're watching it on TV. It's really easy to 621 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: get caught up in that. It's easy to get drunk 622 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: on that home atmosphere and to just get drawn into 623 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: it to where if you're on the fence man you 624 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: side with Penn State, I could easily see that happening, 625 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: or I could see you being one of those underdog 626 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: back against the wall, you know, us against the world 627 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: sort of types, and then you pull for Auburn. By 628 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: the way, Auburn, I just realized this will be rearing 629 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: road whites, and so they will also be dressed in white. 630 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: So though in a way fit in as will yours, truly, 631 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to finally go into an environment where 632 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: I can just wear a T shirt like I normally do. 633 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: I think every day there was an unnamed company out there. 634 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give them the benefit of naming their company, 635 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: but there was a company that flirted with us about 636 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: a potential ad partnership during August, and I think you 637 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: guys know which one I'm talking about, And I cannot 638 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: believe that they fumbled so thoroughly. The ability to market 639 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: on a show where the very host wears nothing but 640 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: a white T shirt but just a poor read on 641 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: their part. 642 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 2: But we soldier on. 643 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: We got Academy Sports an outdoor with us. That's been 644 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: fun too. I tell you guys. Every week, Yeah, you 645 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: keep tagging them on Twitter. You're talking about how you're 646 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: buying stuff because they are partnering with late Kick. 647 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: You watch what happens with that. 648 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: They'll add some zeros onto the next contract we signed 649 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: with them, and then who knows, free sporting goods for everyone. 650 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: But justin I think if all else fails, you go 651 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: to the Matthew McConaughey route in Two for the Money, 652 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: which is one of the best gambling movies out there time. 653 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: It may not be totally realistic, but neither was Jaws, 654 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: and I like that too. I may just, in a 655 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: cold sweat the morning of the game, just fall to 656 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: the floor in the bathroom against a stall and just 657 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: flip a coin. That's what Matthew McConaughey did to pick 658 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: the winner of the Super Bowl. 659 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 2: Excuse me, they had to They had to say. 660 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: Super Game or the Big Game in a movie because 661 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: you can't use the super Bowl, And so that may 662 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: be what it comes down to, man, But what place 663 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: has a bigger chunk of your heart? 664 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: Is it Auburn? Is it Penn State? 665 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: Do you have maybe a girl that you met at 666 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: one place that eventually becomes your wife? Did you have 667 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: more professors you liked at one place than the other? 668 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: Which place had a bigger impact on the amount of 669 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: money that you're going to make in life and the 670 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: financial success you're gonna have. Where are more of your connections? 671 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: You could go all sorts of different routes. Did you 672 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: get a really really wicked sunburn at an Auburn game 673 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: one day that left a little splotch on your right arm? 674 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: And you'll never forgive that place? It could come down 675 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: to something like that. I'm telling you you're a winner 676 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: either way. 677 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 2: And if I. 678 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: Could be so bold, it is well within your right 679 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: to make a bet at halftime of a game. So 680 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: why don't you just make a decision on which side 681 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: you're going to pull for at halftime of the game? 682 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: That I think is a foolproof proposition because you get 683 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: to test the waters out and you have every reason 684 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: to do so. No one else is free to do that. 685 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: This could be your only opportunity in life to test 686 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: drive an actual football game before you get to choose 687 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: your rooting interest for the latter portion of said contests. 688 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: So I would take full advantage here justin I think 689 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be a good weekend for you either way, 690 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: it's certainly going to be a good weekend for us. 691 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: I got Late Kick Live coming up tonight, which means 692 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: we have Late Kick Live coming up tonight.
