2:18
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone told him that it wasn't
2:20
Speaker 1: going to be you. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, did
2:22
Speaker 1: he ever know that it wasn't? He never thought you
2:24
Speaker 1: were me.
2:25
Speaker 6: Never addressed a He never addressed it and you can
2:28
Speaker 6: tell it was a long night before because.
2:30
Speaker 1: He was tired. Yeah, but it was a good interview, man.
2:32
Speaker 1: It was cool talking though a couple of things. One
2:35
Speaker 1: I do want to start with the guy that Dallas
2:36
Speaker 1: Cowboy player died. Do you know Marshawn Neeland?
2:39
Speaker 7: No?
2:40
Speaker 1: Okay, So Cowboys second year defensive end Marshawn Neeland dies
2:43
Speaker 1: at twenty four years old.
2:44
Speaker 5: He's currently on the team, right, Mike.
2:47
Speaker 1: I believe he was. I didn't know him, but I
2:48
Speaker 1: believe he was on the team.
2:49
Speaker 8: I believe he was the one who returned the block
2:51
Speaker 8: punt last game.
2:52
Speaker 1: What the team did not disclose in details how he died.
2:56
Speaker 1: He was a second round pick in twenty twenty four
2:58
Speaker 1: out of Western Michigan. Wow. He scored a touchdown on
3:02
Speaker 1: Monday Night versus the Cardinals when the Cowboys blocked a
3:05
Speaker 1: punt a huge play. Yeah, and they're not saying what
3:08
Speaker 1: they're not saying wire how I guess we'll figure it out. Oh,
3:09
Speaker 1: I gotta put heapones, Kevin.
3:11
Speaker 5: I know, I kind of have my headphones close.
3:13
Speaker 7: I have.
3:17
Speaker 1: I can't big headphones. Yeah, that's what I need, monster sized.
3:24
Speaker 5: Head you can put them behind you.
3:26
Speaker 1: I think we have to lose the stupid hats.
3:27
Speaker 5: No, sorry, I know.
3:31
Speaker 1: Okays off this week? Okay, so big, Yeah.
3:37
Speaker 5: That's the joke Brandon.
3:41
Speaker 1: Brandon's like, why are you taking it off? Don't you
3:45
Speaker 1: get it? It's funny because it's so big.
3:48
Speaker 5: What are they called? What are those hats called?
3:50
Speaker 1: They have a name though, right, Yeah, I don't know
3:52
Speaker 1: what they're called.
3:53
Speaker 5: When they first came out.
3:54
Speaker 1: We made these, We bought a generic shell and then
3:57
Speaker 1: had Abby paint them.
3:58
Speaker 5: Oh that's the one she painted.
3:59
Speaker 1: Is that didn't make Arkansas win? She paid it two
4:01
Speaker 1: for me. Dude.
4:02
Speaker 6: When those first came out, like that was the funniest
4:04
Speaker 6: thing ever to see people wearing that.
4:06
Speaker 1: What do you think about the UFC and the suspicious betting?
4:10
Speaker 1: Do you know about it?
4:10
Speaker 7: No?
4:10
Speaker 5: I don't.
4:11
Speaker 6: I saw a headline, but I thought I just thought
4:13
Speaker 6: he was Dana White was talking about the other stuff.
4:16
Speaker 1: What's going on there?
4:17
Speaker 5: Great? I bet on UFC every weekend. What is happening?
4:21
Speaker 1: Suspicious betting activity before a fight last weekend has led
4:24
Speaker 1: to an unlikely partnership. The UFC in the FBI are
4:27
Speaker 1: now actively working together in an investigation of wagering prior
4:31
Speaker 1: to a fight between Isaac Dulgarian and Steve Garcia. Yadi
4:37
Speaker 1: or del Vall I don't know, Oh no, no, the
4:41
Speaker 1: word and is close to Dulgiyan, So it looks like
4:45
Speaker 1: Isaac Dulgarian and Yadi a del val who that sws up.
4:52
Speaker 1: Dana White says UFC was alerted to the potential problem
4:56
Speaker 1: by Sports Wagering Watchdog Integrity Compliance three six. He specifically
5:00
Speaker 1: concerning abnormal betting interest. What I had heard was right
5:04
Speaker 1: before the fight, the odds shifted tremendously and the guy
5:07
Speaker 1: who was the favorite ended up losing. He was minus
5:10
Speaker 1: two fifty, but he lost in the first round by submission,
5:13
Speaker 1: and there was a massive shift right before even with
5:15
Speaker 1: the odds. Did you bet that one?
5:16
Speaker 5: I'm looking I got Steve Garcia, which that was a.
5:18
Speaker 1: Huge win for me.
5:23
Speaker 5: What is it? Arnie delG Guillon, Doulgary.
5:27
Speaker 1: Isaac Dulgarian Nope, I might have been an Arnie Isaac Dulgarian. Yeah,
5:31
Speaker 1: look look at me. I lost on that one. Oh,
5:34
Speaker 1: look at that. You need to call you need to
5:36
Speaker 1: call the FBI media.
5:37
Speaker 6: After this, he was favored minus one sixty two, which
5:41
Speaker 6: isn't a heavy favorite.
5:43
Speaker 1: I think it was shifting. Did you bet that right
5:44
Speaker 1: before the match?
5:45
Speaker 6: That might have been a live bet because one sixty
5:47
Speaker 6: two is odd, it's usually not like a two.
5:51
Speaker 5: Dang, that's crazy, dude, they got me?
5:55
Speaker 1: Who do we want to be in the triangle this week?
5:58
Speaker 5: What do you mean?
5:59
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, well who got it? Who lost it last week? Well,
6:02
Speaker 1: Kevin lost lost it, but he has a good record.
6:05
Speaker 1: He has a good record. Get give it to give
6:08
Speaker 1: it to Brandon.
6:10
Speaker 9: Anyone's no part at.
6:11
Speaker 6: The feeling that I have when I lose my leg
6:14
Speaker 6: of it, Like it's sometimes I just kind of want
6:16
Speaker 6: to like.
6:19
Speaker 5: End it, like it's it's it's that feeling.
6:21
Speaker 1: It's you don't want to kill yourself feeling. No, it's
6:25
Speaker 1: not you don't want to kill yourself because you missed
6:27
Speaker 1: one of the triangle.
6:28
Speaker 6: It is because I let you guys, down, and not
6:29
Speaker 6: only just you guys, all are listeners who like bet
6:32
Speaker 6: on that too, Like I, nobody wants to lose people
6:34
Speaker 6: money and I did.
6:36
Speaker 1: That when you don't want to kill yourself though, because
6:38
Speaker 1: you're one of the angle.
6:39
Speaker 5: I'm not saying. I'm not saying I want to kill myself.
6:42
Speaker 1: It's the it's what you said, It's the feeling of
6:44
Speaker 1: like that. Okay, do you guys want to do it?
6:48
Speaker 5: Brandon?
6:49
Speaker 1: Do you guys feel good? Brandon? You can go first?
6:52
Speaker 1: What is your what is your bet? All right, I'm
6:54
Speaker 1: gonna do uh.
6:55
Speaker 2: Indiana minus fourteen and a half overpinn State, Indiana is
7:01
Speaker 2: like the cop out.
7:02
Speaker 1: They are going to Penn State Indiana mine fourteen and
7:06
Speaker 1: a half. That's all, Okay. The reason I didn't pick
7:09
Speaker 1: that is because I've been picking it every week and
7:11
Speaker 1: I feel like Penn State's actually a better team than
7:13
Speaker 1: people give them credit for. They don't have their starting
7:16
Speaker 1: quarterback obviously, but they still have a bunch of dudes,
7:19
Speaker 1: and Indiana's been killing folks. I think eventually that has
7:24
Speaker 1: to end. I think they'll still win, right, but that's
7:27
Speaker 1: why I didn't pick them. But fifteen isn't killing folks.
7:31
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, fair enough. I'm in a zag week.
7:35
Speaker 1: Everybody's zigging. I'm zagging, Kevin.
7:39
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Yes, it's Alabama. Oh I
7:45
Speaker 9: do have my Vandy shirt on. Yeah. I thought about
7:48
Speaker 9: Vandy for a second there, But I'm gonna go with
7:49
Speaker 9: Alabama minus ten is the last time I saw it?
7:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's LSU at number four. Alabama Alabama minus ten.
7:56
Speaker 1: All right, so far two favorites. Now there is a
7:59
Speaker 1: new narrative of that possibly Oregon is not good and
8:04
Speaker 1: not near as good as we thought because their biggest
8:06
Speaker 1: win is well, Penn State. They killed Rutgers, isn't they Yeah,
8:11
Speaker 1: but again I think we could beat Ruggers with us three. Yes,
8:15
Speaker 1: that's four with Mike, And so the narrative is that
8:19
Speaker 1: maybe Oregon is not as good as we thought they were.
8:22
Speaker 1: But I think that Penn State win was actually bigger
8:25
Speaker 1: than people are given a credit for. It was a
8:26
Speaker 1: night game, it was a wide out. Aler was still
8:28
Speaker 1: the quarterback. They James Franklin was still the coach. There
8:32
Speaker 1: was some unity, there was some consistency, and Iowa is
8:36
Speaker 1: starting to be looked at as a team that has
8:38
Speaker 1: a chance to make it like, I don't even think
8:40
Speaker 1: Iowa was in the Apee Pole, but they were ranked
8:42
Speaker 1: twenty ath whenever the CFP come out came out. So
8:46
Speaker 1: I'm going Oregon minus six and a half because most
8:49
Speaker 1: people are thinking the Oregon maybe isn't as good. So
8:52
Speaker 1: I'm fighting the zig. I'm going to zag. I'm going Oregon.
8:55
Speaker 1: Is that good? I like it.
8:56
Speaker 9: I didn't realize Iowa was six and two.
9:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, they lost by one point. I think to Indiana.
9:03
Speaker 1: If you look back, you can correct me on this
9:05
Speaker 1: because I do have in front of me.
9:07
Speaker 9: Yeah, on like a last second or a last minute
9:09
Speaker 9: player long past. I do remember that.
9:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that that when is starting to
9:13
Speaker 1: look better and better the more the season goes by,
9:16
Speaker 1: because we're seeing Indiana as a real team.
9:20
Speaker 9: Five Oh they did was scored twenty to fifteen. Okay, yeah,
9:24
Speaker 9: I know it's through Iowa's fashion. So okay, that's gonna
9:28
Speaker 9: be our parlay. Everybody good on that.
9:30
Speaker 1: Yep, it's going to be Indiana minus fourteen and a half.
9:35
Speaker 1: It's going to be Alabama minus ten and then over
9:38
Speaker 1: on my side, I'm going to have Oregon minus six
9:42
Speaker 1: and a half at number twenty Iowa Boom. Your team
9:46
Speaker 1: hitting pay Dirt pays out. That's our parlay presented by DraftKings.

10:10
Speaker 1: go over and talk with college football writer for on
10:13
Speaker 1: three Sports and Yahoo's Sports Andy Staples. I'm a big
10:16
Speaker 1: Andy Staples fan. Andy's worked for The Athletic and Sports
10:19
Speaker 1: Illustrated and he's great at talking about nil and portal
10:23
Speaker 1: and coaching changes. Also, if you're looking for a great
10:25
Speaker 1: sports show, he hosts a daily show called Andy and
10:29
Speaker 1: Ari on three, which you can listen to wherever you
10:31
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. You can also follow him on socials.
10:34
Speaker 1: Andy underscore Staples here he is Andy Staples. All right,
10:38
Speaker 1: we have Andy Staples on with us. One of my
10:40
Speaker 1: favorites when it comes to college football. It's kind of
10:42
Speaker 1: a college football holiday because as soon as they put
10:45
Speaker 1: out that first, here we go. These are the twelve.
10:47
Speaker 1: It used to be, you know, they put out all
10:49
Speaker 1: right there, this is the rankings. We have four teams,
10:53
Speaker 1: but now it's twelve. I love the playoff. Who do
10:56
Speaker 1: you think is the big I don't want to use
10:59
Speaker 1: the word fraud, so let me let me reverse. Who
11:01
Speaker 1: do you think on the list now in those twelve
11:04
Speaker 1: probably will not be there whenever it's time to actually
11:07
Speaker 1: have the tournament.
11:08
Speaker 4: Well, Texas is number eleven.
11:09
Speaker 10: I think they've got to play at Georgia and they
11:12
Speaker 10: got to play Texas A and M. I think they're
11:13
Speaker 10: going to lose one of those, at least they might
11:15
Speaker 10: lose both of them. So I think that's that's probably
11:17
Speaker 10: the easiest one to just say they're probably not going
11:20
Speaker 10: to be there now the way it's the way it's
11:22
Speaker 10: actually ranked. Like now, Texas wouldn't be in any way
11:25
Speaker 10: because you've got the highest ranked ACC team is below
11:30
Speaker 10: twelve as well, so you've got to you've got to
11:32
Speaker 10: pull them up, and then you've got to pull another
11:34
Speaker 10: potential conference champ up. So I wonder if one of
11:40
Speaker 10: Texas Tech or b YU drops out they play this weekend.
11:44
Speaker 4: I suspect they're going to wind up playing twice.
11:46
Speaker 10: I think they're going to play this weekend and then
11:48
Speaker 10: probably play again in the Big twelve title game. The
11:50
Speaker 10: way there's, the way they're ranked right now, suggests to
11:53
Speaker 10: me that if it goes a certain way, like say
11:56
Speaker 10: Texas Tech wins this one BYU wins out, they they
12:00
Speaker 10: still might both make it. But that's one of those two,
12:04
Speaker 10: and especially if Texa Tech loses the BYU this weekend,
12:06
Speaker 10: I think you'll see them drop out.
12:08
Speaker 1: I feel like the AEC is probably going to get
12:11
Speaker 1: one slot unless there's again some magic that happens and
12:16
Speaker 1: that Virginia is in. But I feel like that should
12:18
Speaker 1: just a placeholder for acc You feel like that's accurate.
12:21
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, because Virginia's live so dangerously all season
12:25
Speaker 10: and you look at the rest of their schedule. They
12:29
Speaker 10: it's not exceedingly tough, but they also could lose any
12:34
Speaker 10: game on that schedule. They play Wake Forest at Duke
12:37
Speaker 10: and then they play Virginia Tech at Duke is the
12:40
Speaker 10: really key one there because Duke is also in the
12:42
Speaker 10: mix for the AEC title.
12:43
Speaker 4: Duke only has one conference loss.
12:45
Speaker 10: They just happen to have two non conference losses, So
12:48
Speaker 10: the glut at the top of the ACC is really
12:51
Speaker 10: really weird because Virginia's undefeated in conference play though they've
12:55
Speaker 10: lost to a conference team like they played NC State
12:58
Speaker 10: and lost, but that was scheduled as a non conference game,
13:01
Speaker 10: So very strange year in the ACC. And Louisville is
13:07
Speaker 10: the one I think probably could wind up being the
13:10
Speaker 10: best team in the ACC and could wind up being
13:13
Speaker 10: in the playoff. I think that would make a lot
13:15
Speaker 10: of sense. But the one I would watch out for
13:16
Speaker 10: in the ACC is Pittsburgh. They they changed quarterbacks after
13:20
Speaker 10: the Louisville loss. They only have one loss in conference play,
13:23
Speaker 10: and Mason Heinscheal their freshman quarterback. They're five and oh
13:26
Speaker 10: sin since they've put him in the starting lineup, so
13:28
Speaker 10: they are a tricky one. And they play Miami and
13:31
Speaker 10: Georgia Tech down the stretch, so they could have a
13:33
Speaker 10: lot to say about this.
13:34
Speaker 1: Is there a way because I haven't run through the
13:36
Speaker 1: scenarios that Georgia Tech wins out but doesn't end up
13:41
Speaker 1: in the AC Championship game. Therefore they could get in
13:43
Speaker 1: with just a single loss. I feel like that would
13:45
Speaker 1: be a possibility of a team not winning the championship,
13:49
Speaker 1: the conference championship is still getting in.
13:51
Speaker 10: Yes, that is definitely possible because it would depend on
13:54
Speaker 10: tie breakers. You probably need Virginia to win out, so
13:57
Speaker 10: Virginia would take one ACC Championship game slot, and then
14:00
Speaker 10: because of tiebreakers, some other team with one loss in
14:03
Speaker 10: the ACC goes in over Georgia Tech. But as you said,
14:07
Speaker 10: in your scenario, Georgia Tech wins out, which means they
14:09
Speaker 10: beat Georgia at the end of the season, and so
14:12
Speaker 10: they'd have a win over probably a playoff team. We're
14:14
Speaker 10: assuming Georgia will come into that game with only one loss. Still,
14:17
Speaker 10: maybe they won't. They do play Texas next week, but
14:20
Speaker 10: eleven to one, with a win at Georgia at the
14:22
Speaker 10: end of the season, probably it's gonna get you in. So, Bobby,
14:27
Speaker 10: I think that is a is a very plausible scenario,
14:31
Speaker 10: and the Georgia fans are probably plausible guys.
14:34
Speaker 4: They took you to eight overtimes in Alfens last year.
14:37
Speaker 10: It's not completely out of their own possibility.
14:41
Speaker 1: They have Memphis in again, I'm gonna put that as
14:43
Speaker 1: a placeholder for whomever wins the and it doesn't have
14:45
Speaker 1: to be the American obviously, like a James Madison or
14:48
Speaker 1: somebody else could could squeeze in as well. But it's
14:51
Speaker 1: like Memphis, it's a USF right, like one of those three,
14:55
Speaker 1: who else am I missing that could possibly get that spot.
14:58
Speaker 10: I think it's the American champ because I think that
15:00
Speaker 10: the American is really deep at the top this year,
15:03
Speaker 10: and so JMU has the one loss to Louisville.
15:06
Speaker 4: They're the best team in the Sun Belt.
15:08
Speaker 10: But I think if the committee is comparing the path
15:11
Speaker 10: that they had to take, it's a lot harder to
15:14
Speaker 10: get through the American this year than it is to
15:15
Speaker 10: get through the Sun Belt.
15:16
Speaker 4: So I do think it's an American champ.
15:18
Speaker 10: You've got Memphis and Tulane playing this week, which feels
15:21
Speaker 10: like an elimination game. Both have one loss in conference,
15:24
Speaker 10: but you also have USF, which only has one conference loss,
15:27
Speaker 10: North Texas only has one conference loss, and Navy only
15:30
Speaker 10: has one conference loss. It's gonna be one of those
15:33
Speaker 10: five that wins the championship. I think the American Champ
15:36
Speaker 10: is the winner, but like you said, it's probably a
15:38
Speaker 10: placeholder because I could not tell you which of those
15:41
Speaker 10: five is gonna win.
15:42
Speaker 1: I didn't send you anything ahead of time. Andy's like
15:44
Speaker 1: one of my favorite guys to listen to just in general,
15:47
Speaker 1: like across the board, even when you do your own show.
15:49
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna throw some stuff at you because
15:52
Speaker 1: some guys want to know. But I'm gonna ask you
15:53
Speaker 1: about Virginia specifically. This is this an example of a
15:56
Speaker 1: team spending some money and actually getting good? And is
15:58
Speaker 1: it a bit I would compare to Indiana how we
16:01
Speaker 1: learn that Signetti he comes in a coach can win quick.
16:04
Speaker 1: I feel like Virginia spent some money and got good,
16:06
Speaker 1: and other teams if they just commit money, they can
16:08
Speaker 1: also get good.
16:09
Speaker 10: Your thoughts, well, there's two schools of thought on this,
16:12
Speaker 10: and it is a fine line, I think.
16:15
Speaker 4: So you're exactly right.
16:17
Speaker 10: What Virginia did is they said, we can fire Tony
16:20
Speaker 10: Elliott now and pay him buy out money, or we
16:23
Speaker 10: can use that money to better the roster and give
16:26
Speaker 10: him a better chance. So they went out, they get
16:29
Speaker 10: Chandler Morris, they beef up that roster and they're clearly better.
16:34
Speaker 10: So that's a case where that works. Now I'm looking
16:38
Speaker 10: at Wisconsin right now, where there's a possibility they can
16:41
Speaker 10: go too and ten this year they have said we
16:44
Speaker 10: would like to bring Luke Fickle back. We just want
16:46
Speaker 10: to give him more resources to donate to the roster
16:49
Speaker 10: and see if that gets better. I don't know if
16:52
Speaker 10: that gets any better. Because Tony Elliott was close, there
16:55
Speaker 10: were games that were close, like Wisconsin doesn't feel competitive.
16:58
Speaker 10: So I think you have to examine each in this
17:00
Speaker 10: situation individually. And Tony Elliott is in it was in
17:03
Speaker 10: a really different situation just because of everything that's happened
17:08
Speaker 10: since he's been there. For those who don't remember, there
17:10
Speaker 10: was a situation early in his tenure at Virginia where
17:13
Speaker 10: a former Virginia player walked on a bus after a
17:16
Speaker 10: school trip and murdered multiple other Virginia players, and Tony
17:21
Speaker 10: elliotts had to deal with that and the fallout from that,
17:24
Speaker 10: and so.
17:26
Speaker 4: His tenure has been viewed a little bit differently.
17:29
Speaker 10: It has not been a purely wins and losses kind
17:31
Speaker 10: of thing, and so I think that's probably something that
17:35
Speaker 10: was on their minds last year as they were trying
17:36
Speaker 10: to figure out what do we do about this situation,
17:39
Speaker 10: how do we best use our resources. But I do
17:41
Speaker 10: think people are going to look at this and if
17:44
Speaker 10: you feel like your coach is close. If you feel
17:46
Speaker 10: like you like the culture that the coach brings, you
17:48
Speaker 10: feel like the players like playing for that guy, and
17:52
Speaker 10: you're just a few players away, then that's when you
17:55
Speaker 10: do put more money toward the roster, when you feel
17:57
Speaker 10: like it doesn't matter what the coach does. Like Auburn
18:01
Speaker 10: and Hugh Freeze this past week, it didn't matter what
18:03
Speaker 10: Hugh Freeze did. The same problems kept coming up over
18:06
Speaker 10: and over and over again. You could have thrown a
18:09
Speaker 10: bunch of more a bunch of more money at that
18:11
Speaker 10: problem and it still wasn't going to change anything. So
18:13
Speaker 10: you have to know as an ad what you have.
18:16
Speaker 10: Are you actually close or is it somebody who's just
18:20
Speaker 10: going to give you the same set of problems over.
18:21
Speaker 4: And over again.
18:23
Speaker 1: So I am a booster donor at Arkansas, but I
18:27
Speaker 1: don't want to. I've chosen not to fly too close
18:29
Speaker 1: to the sun, like I've had to learn, like I
18:31
Speaker 1: don't want to not like people because I love it
18:33
Speaker 1: so much and I've had it. You know, I'm not
18:35
Speaker 1: going to like every coach we hire, and I don't
18:37
Speaker 1: want to. So I've chosen to not fly so close
18:39
Speaker 1: to the sun. But I have been privy to some
18:40
Speaker 1: emails and I won't give specifics, but they have been
18:43
Speaker 1: feeling out certain coaches, but not to the coach is
18:46
Speaker 1: going to go from like a person to a person
18:48
Speaker 1: that knows a person that over coach and you know
18:50
Speaker 1: this better than anybody, and they would throw things out
18:52
Speaker 1: like hey would they can They're in they're middle of
18:55
Speaker 1: their season with a team that's winning, and they're going, hey,
18:58
Speaker 1: would this person consider ten million a year? And it's
19:01
Speaker 1: got to go through all these layers. That's happening a
19:03
Speaker 1: lot everywhere right now, right where it's just media and
19:07
Speaker 1: intermediaries talking intermediaries.
19:09
Speaker 10: It absolutely is, and sometimes it's pretty cut and dried,
19:12
Speaker 10: like search firm guy calls coaches, agent says, what would
19:17
Speaker 10: what would it take to get this person to school X?
19:20
Speaker 10: And that's why you hire a search firm. It's I
19:23
Speaker 10: think people get it confused. They think these ads hire
19:26
Speaker 10: these search firms to pick the coach for them or
19:29
Speaker 10: to give them a candidate pool.
19:30
Speaker 4: That's not what it is.
19:31
Speaker 10: You hire them so you have cover so that when
19:34
Speaker 10: someone says, have you contacted so and so you can
19:37
Speaker 10: say and not be lying, no, I have not.
19:40
Speaker 4: Did your search firm contact them. Yes they have, but
19:43
Speaker 4: you don't have to say that.
19:44
Speaker 10: And that's exactly what's going on right now, Bobby and
19:48
Speaker 10: Arkansas is fascinating to me. I want to ask you
19:51
Speaker 10: this because I watched what they did with John Calipery
19:54
Speaker 10: and basketball, and they took big swings, but they also
20:00
Speaker 10: when they went to him, they said, we are going
20:03
Speaker 10: to make sure you are fully resourced in terms of
20:07
Speaker 10: the roster that you can put together. And Tyson Foods
20:10
Speaker 10: obviously donate quite a bit of money, and Arkansas has
20:14
Speaker 10: big corporate backing. For those who don't know, I know
20:17
Speaker 10: your listeners probably understand that completely because you talk about
20:20
Speaker 10: him a little bit. But for the national audience, I
20:23
Speaker 10: always try to explain, like, when you go to Northwest Arkansas,
20:25
Speaker 10: it's not what you think it's going to be. It
20:28
Speaker 10: is a place with a bunch of corporate headquarters, a
20:32
Speaker 10: lot of new money, and Arkansas has access to that
20:37
Speaker 10: in ways that other schools don't. And if you can
20:40
Speaker 10: get your corporate money excited at Arkansas, you can make
20:43
Speaker 10: a splash. And so that's what I wonder is because
20:47
Speaker 10: we talk about the various candidates for this job, but
20:50
Speaker 10: I kind of think that's one where you could get
20:52
Speaker 10: the mystery person who you didn't think was movable because
20:57
Speaker 10: they can get that corporate money excited.
21:00
Speaker 1: So specifically, John Tyson and Calipari had a relationship like
21:04
Speaker 1: that's how that's how basketball essentially happened is a relationship.
21:09
Speaker 1: The human element of John Tyson, big Arkansas guy loves John.
21:13
Speaker 1: They've been friends forever and Kentucky and Calipari were not
21:18
Speaker 1: They were not good. They were going to couples therapy
21:19
Speaker 1: at the time. Obviously, yes, yes, it was not going.
21:24
Speaker 1: So because of that relationship, mister Tyson stepped in and said, Hey,
21:28
Speaker 1: basically I got this. I'm gonna need a little help,
21:30
Speaker 1: but I got this. So but what's happening now, m Roughly,
21:36
Speaker 1: I'll be very generic about what's happening now is all
21:39
Speaker 1: these big all these dudes or women with money, they
21:43
Speaker 1: want to have so much control if they give so
21:45
Speaker 1: much money, and that that ends up.
21:48
Speaker 4: Business Texas for so so long.
21:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's starting because there is a ton of
21:53
Speaker 1: corporate money. You could go through trucking companies or Chicken
21:56
Speaker 1: companies or Walmart and they all buy buildings up there
21:59
Speaker 1: and they can own the building. The problem is it's
22:02
Speaker 1: hard to pull in billionaire money if the billionaire is
22:05
Speaker 1: not pulling all the strings. And I'm feeling thinking, knowing
22:10
Speaker 1: a bit, that that's what's happening right now, that if
22:12
Speaker 1: we could pull that money, we'd pull up Bear Bryant,
22:15
Speaker 1: put them through the machine, he'd be alive again, he'd know,
22:19
Speaker 1: it would all be We'd have the resources to do that.
22:21
Speaker 1: But it's hard to combine all of it because all
22:23
Speaker 1: of it wants to have control, and that's where the
22:25
Speaker 1: issue lies.
22:27
Speaker 10: Yeah, and that's the hardest problem. That was the problem
22:29
Speaker 10: with Texas for so long. I remember talking to somebody
22:32
Speaker 10: who worked there and they've gotten They've gotten everybody on
22:34
Speaker 10: the same page at this point, which which is hard
22:36
Speaker 10: to do. It's credit to their athletic director Chrystal Connie
22:39
Speaker 10: for doing it. But I remember talking to somebody who
22:41
Speaker 10: worked there ten fifteen years ago and they said, you
22:45
Speaker 10: have these guys who are either multimillionaires in some cases billionaires,
22:49
Speaker 10: that they are accustomed to whatever they say, everybody jumps
22:53
Speaker 10: and does exactly what they want. But the problem is
22:56
Speaker 10: when you have two billionaires and they want opposite things,
23:00
Speaker 10: one of them is not going to go what they
23:01
Speaker 10: want and then they freak out and they're not used
23:04
Speaker 10: to that. So it is such a strange situation, And
23:08
Speaker 10: like Arkansas is fascinating to me because I go back
23:11
Speaker 10: to what Hunter Yurchik said when he fired Sam Pittman,
23:14
Speaker 10: because he said, Hey, we are resourcing John Caliperry in
23:17
Speaker 10: the way he needs to be resourced to compete at
23:19
Speaker 10: the highest level. We were not resourcing Sam Pittman in
23:23
Speaker 10: the way he needed to be resourced.
23:25
Speaker 4: So that's the question I.
23:26
Speaker 10: Would ask if I'm a candidate at Arkansas, is are
23:31
Speaker 10: you going to give me the money.
23:33
Speaker 4: To compete at the top of the SEC? Because I
23:35
Speaker 4: do think you can. Bobby. I had a segment on
23:39
Speaker 4: my show where we were talking about this.
23:41
Speaker 10: This is before Sam got fired, and somebody had asked
23:45
Speaker 10: me what I thought of the job, and I said, well,
23:46
Speaker 10: I don't know, especially at a time when Missouri is
23:50
Speaker 10: good and Ole miss is good, I just don't know
23:52
Speaker 10: how many of those level of SEC programs can be
23:55
Speaker 10: good at the same time. And a person in the
23:58
Speaker 10: chat goes, Andy, what did you think of the old
24:00
Speaker 10: miss job before before Lane Kiffin was hired, Like when
24:03
Speaker 10: when it was Matt Luke and he was getting fired.
24:06
Speaker 4: What did you say about the whole miss job? And
24:08
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, I said the same thing.
24:10
Speaker 4: So I'm wrong.
24:11
Speaker 10: I'm wrong on this because if you make the right higher,
24:15
Speaker 10: be it Lane Kiffin at ole Miss, Eli Drinquitz at Missouri,
24:19
Speaker 10: you can change your fortunes.
24:22
Speaker 4: In the SEC.
24:23
Speaker 10: You can move now, maybe you don't move all the
24:26
Speaker 10: way to the top, but you can move into the
24:28
Speaker 10: upper echelon with the right higher. So Arkansas has a
24:32
Speaker 10: chance here. And that's the thing that like, I'm not
24:34
Speaker 10: sure in the old system pre and il pre transfer
24:38
Speaker 10: portal that Arkansas would have had a chance to move up.
24:42
Speaker 4: Now it does.
24:43
Speaker 1: What about your school? What about Florida? What's happening?
24:48
Speaker 10: That was crazy because the fan base wants Lane Kiffen.
24:52
Speaker 10: They're hell bent on getting Lane Kiffin. They think he
24:54
Speaker 10: is the spiritual successor to Steve Spurrier. That's all they
24:58
Speaker 10: want that. They don't don't want anybody else. But the
25:01
Speaker 10: fact of the matter is Lane Kiffin has a really
25:03
Speaker 10: good job. Right now, Ole Miss may go eleven and
25:06
Speaker 10: one al Miss may play for the SEC championship. It's
25:09
Speaker 10: not fifteen years ago. Where if Florida or LSU wanted
25:13
Speaker 10: the Ole Miss coach. They just snapped their fingers and
25:15
Speaker 10: get him. It doesn't work that way anymore because the
25:18
Speaker 10: ceilings are actually pretty similar and Ole Miss gives Lane
25:20
Speaker 10: Kiffin everything they want, everything he wants.
25:23
Speaker 4: He has almost complete control.
25:26
Speaker 10: And I'm not sure going to get that at Florida
25:27
Speaker 10: and I'm not sure going to get that at LSU.
25:30
Speaker 10: And also, can you wait if Lane Kiffin is going
25:33
Speaker 10: deep into the playoff, even if he wants to come,
25:36
Speaker 10: can you wait on it? So that's a really interesting situation.
25:40
Speaker 10: So then you talk about who would the other candidates be,
25:43
Speaker 10: and I think it'd be Jeff Brahm at Louisville would
25:46
Speaker 10: be a really good candidate for Flora's job, Eli Drinkwitz
25:49
Speaker 10: at Missouri, Jed Fish at Washington's of Florida grad. I think,
25:52
Speaker 10: you know, he did an amazing job rebuilding Arizona. So far,
25:55
Speaker 10: so good in the Washington tenure. But it's not going
26:01
Speaker 10: to make the fan base happy unless it's Lane Kiffin.
26:05
Speaker 10: And so they'll have to do some massaging. If they
26:08
Speaker 10: can't yet Lane, they'll have to deal with, oh, you know,
26:10
Speaker 10: maybe don't win the press conference. I'm not a big
26:13
Speaker 10: believer in. You have to win the press conference, you
26:15
Speaker 10: have to win games. And the people I just named,
26:19
Speaker 10: Jeff Brahm, Eli Drinkquitz, Jetfish, all of them are really
26:22
Speaker 10: good coaches, all of them are good recruiters. They could
26:25
Speaker 10: all succeed at Florida. I do think Lane would be
26:28
Speaker 10: the best choice, but I'm not sure he's going to
26:30
Speaker 10: be available. I think there's a chance. Lane's just he's
26:33
Speaker 10: good at ol Miss.
26:35
Speaker 1: We've seen extensions from Signetti from rule from these guys
26:38
Speaker 1: mid season to go Hey, I'm saying we haven't seen
26:40
Speaker 1: that from Lane. Is that an indicator of anything.
26:43
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's either he's driving the price up still or
26:46
Speaker 10: he is seriously considering a move. And the fact that
26:50
Speaker 10: LSU's open changes the math on all this too, because
26:52
Speaker 10: I think before LSU opened, the one he would consider
26:56
Speaker 10: leading for is Florida. But I think you would probably
26:58
Speaker 10: consider leading for LSU as well, And so if I
27:03
Speaker 10: were him, I would milk this for all it's worth.
27:05
Speaker 10: I would drive the price as high as human as possible.
27:08
Speaker 4: And then do that.
27:09
Speaker 10: Really it comes down to, like I just said, because
27:12
Speaker 10: they can all pay about the same, I think you
27:14
Speaker 10: can win the national title at any of the three.
27:16
Speaker 10: If you do it right, it just comes down to
27:19
Speaker 10: where you want to work, and so he's going to
27:21
Speaker 10: have to decide that.
27:22
Speaker 1: I was looking at the odds because they put him
27:25
Speaker 1: out a Big Ten championship game, and I think Ohio
27:28
Speaker 1: State is three and a half point favorite if they
27:30
Speaker 1: were to play today over Indiana. Who's the better team
27:33
Speaker 1: in your opinion.
27:35
Speaker 10: I think it's Ohio State because they have the best
27:38
Speaker 10: players in the country at certain positions. So Caleb Downs
27:44
Speaker 10: and rvel Rees are the two best defensive players in
27:47
Speaker 10: the country, like not just at their positions, they're the
27:50
Speaker 10: two best in the country and they're on the same team.
27:54
Speaker 10: Jeremiah Smith is the best receiver in he well, in
27:59
Speaker 10: five years he will be the best receiver in the world.
28:01
Speaker 10: He will be better than Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase.
28:03
Speaker 10: But he's definitely the best receiver in college football right now.
28:06
Speaker 10: Carnel Tait, if he's not number two, he's top five
28:11
Speaker 10: best receivers. And then Julian's saying, I gotta tell you,
28:15
Speaker 10: he's evolved as the season has gone on, and I
28:17
Speaker 10: think that they've handled his development really well.
28:19
Speaker 4: Where if you go back to that Texas game.
28:21
Speaker 10: They were not putting it in positions where he had
28:23
Speaker 10: to be superman or do anything really drastic. I was
28:27
Speaker 10: at the Penn State game last week in Bobby, and
28:29
Speaker 10: this guy is awesome. Like they're taking the chains off
28:33
Speaker 10: a little bit, letting him do some things, and he
28:37
Speaker 10: may wind up being the best quarterback in the country.
28:39
Speaker 10: I still think that's probably Ty Simpson right now in Alabama.
28:43
Speaker 10: But the way Julian saying is developing week to week,
28:47
Speaker 10: it's pretty scary, and so I think that's why I
28:50
Speaker 10: would take Ohio State in that matchup that stead I
28:53
Speaker 10: have a hard time picking against Kurt Signette.
28:55
Speaker 4: I have a rule on the show now.
28:56
Speaker 10: I think I picked UCLA to cover twenty four and
28:59
Speaker 10: a half against a few weeks ago.
29:01
Speaker 4: I'm done with that.
29:02
Speaker 10: Like if Indiana's favored, I'm picking Indiana to cover. Like
29:05
Speaker 10: they they just dominate people. They crushed people, and I
29:10
Speaker 10: think they're gonna keep doing that. Like there are two
29:12
Speaker 10: touchdown favorite at Penn State this week. Imagine going, you know,
29:16
Speaker 10: into a time machine to the middle of twenty twenty
29:19
Speaker 10: three when Indiana was busy going three to nine and saying, hey,
29:24
Speaker 10: in two years the Hoosiers are going to go on
29:26
Speaker 10: the road too Happy Valley and there'll be two touchdown
29:29
Speaker 10: favorites the person would have had you committed.
29:32
Speaker 1: That Indiana Team's interesting because again when he came over,
29:35
Speaker 1: he brought a lot of jam you guys with him.
29:36
Speaker 1: But it didn't feel like and again the headline just
29:39
Speaker 1: could have buried the other, but it didn't feel like
29:41
Speaker 1: it was a Virginia type situation where they just invested
29:44
Speaker 1: a whole bunch more money. It's like they invested in
29:46
Speaker 1: the guy and he brought some of his guys and
29:48
Speaker 1: it wasn't a We're going to toss a ton of
29:50
Speaker 1: NIO money out at least that first year. Am I
29:52
Speaker 1: correct about that it was more of a coach u
29:54
Speaker 1: ult thing.
29:56
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a coach culture thing, and it's an understing.
29:58
Speaker 10: And the thing is they also did some stuff with
30:00
Speaker 10: some of the guys they inherited. I don't think people realize,
30:04
Speaker 10: like Carter Smith, their left tackle, was one of the
30:07
Speaker 10: guys they inherited.
30:07
Speaker 4: I believe he. I believe he's Simon Indiana out of
30:12
Speaker 4: high school.
30:12
Speaker 10: I'm trying to remember what they had one lineman who
30:15
Speaker 10: had transferred in from Wisconsin that they ended up doing something,
30:18
Speaker 10: but he had transferred in when Tom Allen was there.
30:21
Speaker 10: So they've found ways to take these guys that were
30:26
Speaker 10: not at another school, that were not at James Madison,
30:29
Speaker 10: and they've gotten a lot out of them too. But
30:31
Speaker 10: it also helps that they brought this core from James Madison.
30:34
Speaker 10: Elijah Surratt, D'Angelo Pond's, you know, Aidan Fisher that knew
30:39
Speaker 10: exactly what Kurt Signetti expected.
30:41
Speaker 4: But it's funny because people now.
30:43
Speaker 10: Make that the excuse when because I think I call
30:45
Speaker 10: Kurt Signetti the destroyer of excuses. All these coaches that say,
30:49
Speaker 10: well I need time, this is a bill, this is
30:51
Speaker 10: a process. Well, Kurt Signetti has put the lie to
30:55
Speaker 10: all of that. If you're good enough, you don't need time.
30:57
Speaker 10: And they said, well yeah, but he brought his own players.
31:00
Speaker 10: He brought his players from the Sun Belt, Like, you're
31:03
Speaker 10: not supposed to be able to do this.
31:04
Speaker 4: I think it's just he's a really good coach.
31:07
Speaker 1: Final question, we were talking before he came on about
31:10
Speaker 1: all the things that you're doing because you're in a
31:12
Speaker 1: lot of different places. How are you not repeating your
31:14
Speaker 1: same material in different places? Because I find it's difficult
31:18
Speaker 1: for me to do too. But again, especially right now,
31:20
Speaker 1: you're all over the place. How are you trying to
31:23
Speaker 1: keep things independent of each other?
31:24
Speaker 10: Well, So I have my show at on three, which
31:26
Speaker 10: is me and Ari Wasserman together, and a lot of
31:29
Speaker 10: it is so Bobby, you're your solo, which, God bless you.
31:33
Speaker 4: I don't know how you do it.
31:34
Speaker 10: I'm terrible solo and can't imagine just talking into the
31:38
Speaker 10: void because I always wonder what people are thinking and
31:41
Speaker 10: what there's If I can't get a reaction, I start
31:45
Speaker 10: losing confidence.
31:46
Speaker 4: So I like working with other people on shows.
31:49
Speaker 10: So I have Ari Wasseron as my co hostedt on three,
31:51
Speaker 10: and he is a lunatic and thinks differently than every
31:57
Speaker 10: other human on earth. So anything I bounce off of
32:00
Speaker 10: Ari on our show is going to go in a
32:02
Speaker 10: completely different direction than any other conversation I have, whether
32:06
Speaker 10: I'm a guest on somebody's show or I also do
32:08
Speaker 10: a show at Yahoo called The College Football Inquirer with
32:11
Speaker 10: Ross Dellinger and Stephen Godfrey. We can do the same
32:14
Speaker 10: and we have done this where same day, same topic.
32:18
Speaker 10: It's completely different because the way those guys interpret everything
32:22
Speaker 10: and the way our interprets everything are completely different, so
32:26
Speaker 10: they'll take me in different directions too. But yeah, it's
32:29
Speaker 10: funny because there are times though, when it's a big
32:32
Speaker 10: week and you're doing a lot of shows that you're like, Okay,
32:35
Speaker 10: I wonder how many people like, what's the Venn diagram?
32:38
Speaker 10: With people who listened to that last show I did
32:40
Speaker 10: and who listened to this show. I got a good
32:42
Speaker 10: joke off on it last show, so maybe I can
32:44
Speaker 10: squeeze it out here.
32:45
Speaker 1: Too, Andy underscore Staples. I'm a massive fan of what
32:49
Speaker 1: you do and how you present it. I really appreciate
32:52
Speaker 1: the time, and yeah we'll put in the notes we
32:54
Speaker 1: were talking about before you came on how to catch
32:56
Speaker 1: all your shows. But Andy, thank you for the time, man,
32:58

34:24
Speaker 1: I'm surprised when looking at the men's basketball odds that
34:28
Speaker 1: Arkansas isn't a top ten team, right. And I'm not
34:30
Speaker 1: being a homer here because that last year I was like,
34:32
Speaker 1: I don't think we have it to win at all,
34:34
Speaker 1: and they would go pretty far. I think we have
34:37
Speaker 1: a shot to win at all.
34:38
Speaker 6: But they're being haters because nobody knows anything. It's like
34:41
Speaker 6: they haven't played anyone. All these teams that haven't played.
34:44
Speaker 1: None of them. But Purdue's gonna be great. Yeah, but yeah,
34:47
Speaker 1: everybody loves Painter the coach, and Houston's probably gonna win
34:51
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve and they're they're number one, a plus nine.
34:53
Speaker 6: To fifty Perdue played like Memorial High School and they
34:56
Speaker 6: didn't look great.
34:57
Speaker 1: They did, but their guys came back. Yeah yeah, I know,
35:02
Speaker 1: except for one I think, but their whole team came back.
35:04
Speaker 1: Kentucky and Yukon Duke Michigan, Florida BYU Saint John's Louisville, Kansas.
35:09
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I don't ever say smart money, but
35:13
Speaker 1: I would bet Arkansas because the odds one are going
35:15
Speaker 1: to be so high and we're really good to win
35:18
Speaker 1: it all, but yeah, but you can always cash out or.
35:23
Speaker 6: Ken yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, how about like an Elite eight,
35:26
Speaker 6: but again you can bet to win at all and
35:27
Speaker 6: if they make the Elite A, you go and cash
35:28
Speaker 6: out and get you money.
35:29
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not bad. And then all of a sudden
35:31
Speaker 1: they're playing in the Elite and get somebody who lost
35:34
Speaker 1: their power forward and you're like, well, let's keep going
35:36
Speaker 1: with this thing. But anyway, I saw that and as
35:38
Speaker 1: a little shocked. How's kids sports going? Weird?
35:41
Speaker 6: So right now, my twelve year olds trying out for
35:44
Speaker 6: the middle school basketball team.
35:45
Speaker 1: It's a two week long tryout.
35:49
Speaker 6: Like I don't know about you guys, but when I
35:51
Speaker 6: was in school, it was one day and it lasted
35:53
Speaker 6: maybe an hour and they're like all right, you go
35:56
Speaker 6: the sheet of paper the next day and you're like, oh,
35:58
Speaker 6: my name's not on the list.
35:59
Speaker 1: Cool, I didn't make it. But like my son's, this
36:02
Speaker 1: is two weeks. It isn't for multiple teams, Like, are
36:04
Speaker 1: they're multiple?
36:05
Speaker 6: No, it's one team and they're gonna I think they're
36:08
Speaker 6: picking twelve kids. Twelve is the number. I think there
36:12
Speaker 6: are maybe twenty five trying out. I don't know the fact, dude,
36:17
Speaker 6: every dad like we look at each other like every
36:19
Speaker 6: time we drop off the kids and we're not we're
36:21
Speaker 6: not allowed in.
36:22
Speaker 1: Uh. They take Yeah, that's weird. You said that about
36:24
Speaker 1: basketball too. They tape the windows, They send a note out.
36:27
Speaker 1: What's doing to your kids?
36:29
Speaker 5: I don't know what I'm saying, dude.
36:30
Speaker 6: They send a note out and said no peeking through
36:32
Speaker 6: the windows. Absolutely no parents invited to the tryouts.
36:35
Speaker 1: And I understand why. I understand why, but two weeks
36:37
Speaker 1: seems lot a lot. The taping of the windows feels weird. Yeah, yeah,
36:41
Speaker 1: you're telling me. I'm the dad. I'm like, what are
36:43
Speaker 1: they doing on there? So you have drop them off
36:44
Speaker 1: for two weeks and you don't.
36:45
Speaker 6: Know no, that today's the last, the last tryout day,
36:47
Speaker 6: and then they find out next week if they made
36:49
Speaker 6: the team or not, which pretty sure my son makes
36:52
Speaker 6: the team. He's a good basketball player, but he's not
36:56
Speaker 6: told this is basketball.
36:57
Speaker 1: I said baseball, that was basketball? Got it? Yeah?
37:00
Speaker 9: So does he feel about it?
37:01
Speaker 1: He thinks he's gonna make it.
37:02
Speaker 6: He's got a good gauge, he knows this is the
37:06
Speaker 6: first this is for the school.
37:08
Speaker 1: But didn't they have a tryout where you weren't invited, Like,
37:09
Speaker 1: it's very similar.
37:10
Speaker 6: This is like three years ago, and it was to
37:12
Speaker 6: get into a league, got it, And that was like
37:14
Speaker 6: we can sit out the doors, sit outside the gym
37:16
Speaker 6: doors or whatever.
37:17
Speaker 5: And I get it.
37:18
Speaker 6: You don't want you don't want the parents in there
37:20
Speaker 6: yelling at the kids, or the kids getting distracted by
37:23
Speaker 6: looking at the parents to make sure they're doing good
37:24
Speaker 6: at the tryouts. I understand that part. But the two
37:28
Speaker 6: weeks of an uninvited closed door tryout is bizarre to me.
37:33
Speaker 1: But you understand why not the two weeks, but the
37:37
Speaker 1: no parents.
37:38
Speaker 5: No parents, I understand, I do.
37:39
Speaker 1: Two weeks that seem like a long time. There are
37:41
Speaker 1: some parents that are too much. Do you think you're
37:44
Speaker 1: too much of Nope, you say sometimes.
37:46
Speaker 6: That you not on practices, No, But I think it's
37:49
Speaker 6: just in general games. Yeah, sometimes when you're watching a game,
37:53
Speaker 6: you don't realize how much you're yelling, you know, like
37:57
Speaker 6: and then my wife, my wife and I kind of
37:59
Speaker 6: help each other with it, like settle down, you're yelling
38:01
Speaker 6: too hard, or she'll tell me, like, you're yelling too
38:03
Speaker 6: hard and you don't even notice it.
38:04
Speaker 5: Dude, you're just in it.
38:06
Speaker 6: It's almost like if you're in an NBA game, you're
38:07
Speaker 6: just yelling, like what are you doing?
38:10
Speaker 1: Except I know, I know I'm not getting paid a
38:13
Speaker 1: little bit different. I know, I know. I saw the
38:14
Speaker 1: clip you brought in from Coach Stark. Dude, I couldn't
38:17
Speaker 1: agree with him more. Set it up.
38:21
Speaker 6: Coach sarks On at the podium talking about just schools
38:23
Speaker 6: firing coaches, and he's just saying, like, you know, you
38:28
Speaker 6: keep firing coaches, who are you going to hire? Like
38:30
Speaker 6: there's a problem when you do this, who are you
38:32
Speaker 6: going to hire? And there's also a culture of like
38:35
Speaker 6: school's not giving the coach then enough time to build
38:38
Speaker 6: a team, and just getting rid of coaches.
38:41
Speaker 11: Everybody wants to fire their coach.
38:42
Speaker 1: Who are you going to hire?
38:43
Speaker 11: There's all these jobs out there right now, who's everybody
38:46
Speaker 11: going to hire? I don't know, we'll find out we're
38:49
Speaker 11: somebody's got to be the head coach. The amount of
38:51
Speaker 11: you know, one week you're hero the next week year
38:54
Speaker 11: zero mentality that that fan bases and people want to have.
38:58
Speaker 11: Surely coaches want some security to what they signed up
39:01
Speaker 11: to go do. We work really hard and I get it.
39:03
Speaker 11: We all want to win, and we're all busting our
39:06
Speaker 11: tails to try to win, and sometimes things don't go
39:08
Speaker 11: your way, especially in our conference.
39:11
Speaker 5: It's tough.
39:12
Speaker 1: What do you think?
39:14
Speaker 5: I think?
39:14
Speaker 1: I was talking to Brandon Marcelo about this last week,
39:17
Speaker 1: and Stark may have heard me talking and taken my theory.
39:20
Speaker 5: That's got to be what happened.
39:21
Speaker 9: Knew I heard it before because I said that exact
39:24
Speaker 9: same thing.
39:24
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a lot of teams look back and go, dang,
39:26
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have fired a coach because now everybody's losing more.
39:29
Speaker 1: And had we fired them five to seven years ago
39:32
Speaker 1: would have made more sense because we had worse non
39:35
Speaker 1: conference games. There were only four teams making the BCS playoff. Now,
39:42
Speaker 1: if you don't make the tournament, like everybody wants their
39:44
Speaker 1: coach gone.
39:45
Speaker 6: And that's what he's saying too, right, Like he's saying
39:47
Speaker 6: partly what you said, and he's saying always a lot
39:50
Speaker 6: of what you said. But he's also saying too like
39:53
Speaker 6: this whole okay, you don't make the playoffs and you
39:56
Speaker 6: fire your coach like you're not always going to win well.
39:59
Speaker 1: And also so when you fire a coach, the worst
40:01
Speaker 1: thing that's gonna happen for a fan bases go, we
40:03
Speaker 1: don't want to retread. But there are all these great
40:05
Speaker 1: coaches that were fired for reasons that probably were a
40:08
Speaker 1: bit irresponsible to be fired for, and now they're considered
40:11
Speaker 1: a retread and fan bases aren't happy. But I would
40:14
Speaker 1: love there are a couple of retreads that I would
40:16
Speaker 1: love to have in Arkansas. But like that Jane Franklin
40:19
Speaker 1: will be awesome. Yeah, like you want a Vanderbilt, he
40:22
Speaker 1: went up and want a bunch of gains and pens
40:23
Speaker 1: day like average ten a year. He seems like a
40:26
Speaker 1: smart dude too.
40:28
Speaker 5: Yeah.
40:28
Speaker 1: I don't know him.
40:29
Speaker 6: I don't I don't either, but he seems like someone
40:31
Speaker 6: who knows what he's doing. There are some coaches that
40:33
Speaker 6: look like they're probably smart, but they don't look like
40:36
Speaker 6: they know what they're doing.
40:38
Speaker 1: Another one Sandusky, Nope.
40:43
Speaker 5: Where where is he?
40:44
Speaker 1: Jim? Yeah, he's in jail.
40:46
Speaker 5: He's in jail.
40:47
Speaker 1: I don't know. Can you watch football in there? I
40:52
Speaker 1: don't know what they do in jail. I hope everything
40:53
Speaker 1: bad happens him. I was just using that as an
40:55
Speaker 1: example of like the worst possible redread anyone.
41:00
Speaker 5: I wasn't going to playing too much golf. No, like
41:02
Speaker 5: you Freeze.
41:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, like I was going to the absolute worst
41:07
Speaker 1: coach the fan base could possibly have.
41:09
Speaker 8: It he could get out in twenty forty two at
41:11
Speaker 8: the age of eighty one.
41:12
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm gonna tell you what, We'll probably hire him
41:13
Speaker 1: if I know us we have, if we have this
41:16
Speaker 1: same administration, we'll probably put a floater in there and
41:18
Speaker 1: see he's available. Yeah, I think the retread thing gets
41:24
Speaker 1: I did see where it's been rumored that possibly Kevin
41:28
Speaker 1: Did you see this Lane Kiffin? No, no, not Lank Kiffin,
41:32
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley.
41:34
Speaker 9: Oh no, I have not seen that at all.
41:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe Lincoln Kansas LSU.
41:39
Speaker 9: Wait, Targans are LSU not Arkansas?
41:43
Speaker 1: Too liked he said to l s U. And if
41:46
Speaker 1: you remember when he was at Oklahoma, they were doing
41:49
Speaker 1: the press conference and the LSU job was open, and
41:51
Speaker 1: they kept asking him, are you taking the LSU job?
41:54
Speaker 1: And he said, I'm not taking the l U job,
41:56
Speaker 1: and the bails off USC, and that that was his
41:59
Speaker 1: way to around it. Was nobody asked them about the
42:01
Speaker 1: USC job, and they didn't say are you leaving? They
42:03
Speaker 1: were like, there's a lot of rumors about you in
42:05
Speaker 1: the LSU job. He's like, I'm not taking the LU job.
42:06
Speaker 9: Would you if you're an LSU fan, would you want
42:09
Speaker 9: him that bad?
42:13
Speaker 6: He's not a bad coach, He's I think he's a
42:15
Speaker 6: really good coach, especially if he has the right defensive coordinator.
42:20
Speaker 1: I would like Lincoln Riley. I don't think they're gonna
42:22
Speaker 1: get unless they get Lane Kiffin. They're going to be upset.
42:25
Speaker 9: Yeah, agreed.
42:27
Speaker 1: So I think Lincoln Riley is a great fallback if
42:31
Speaker 1: you don't get Lane Kiffin.
42:33
Speaker 6: Is ole miss cool with all Lane Kiffin talk like
42:37
Speaker 6: they can't do anything about it.
42:38
Speaker 5: They can't.
42:39
Speaker 1: It's weird because these coaches signed contracts, but it doesn't matter.
42:42
Speaker 1: It's actually, instead of a contract contracting their services for
42:46
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time, it is a contract that
42:50
Speaker 1: says how much another school has to pay to hire
42:52
Speaker 1: your coach as a buyout. That's basically what it's turned into.
42:58
Speaker 1: Like I am in the middle of a contract with
43:00
Speaker 1: our company and another company couldn't come and just be like,
43:03
Speaker 1: hey like to hire you, and I'm like, allright, them out.
43:05
Speaker 1: I have a contract. Yeah, there's no buyout clause in it.
43:08
Speaker 1: If there was a buyout clause. That awesome. Maybe you
43:12
Speaker 1: should be It'd be crazy if we get traded, because
43:15
Speaker 1: I trade a couple of those fools, like right.
43:17
Speaker 5: Now, we would just trade people.
43:20
Speaker 1: I would get some good I would get some good value.
43:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, though sometimes I would be asked
43:25
Speaker 6: to be traded, get me out of here.
43:27
Speaker 5: Give me, trade me as leverage. I don't know. You
43:30
Speaker 5: hear that in sports, how they go to the coach
43:32
Speaker 5: or trade me.
43:34
Speaker 1: Like there's a couple of folks i'd trade for, like
43:35
Speaker 1: a couple of good cameras, you know how they do
43:37
Speaker 1: like pcassion incentives, not even people. I don't even you
43:40
Speaker 1: know what, I don't need people at this point. I yes,
43:43
Speaker 1: we need some technology so that and yeah, i'd be
43:49
Speaker 1: crazy if we could trade people. That would be cool.
43:51
Speaker 5: And a buyout clause, you should just propose it.
43:55
Speaker 1: If somebody pays ten million dollars, they can hire me
43:58
Speaker 1: as long as they pay you the money to the company. Yeah.
44:00
Speaker 6: I don't really want that though, like like a A
44:04
Speaker 6: and M guy, you know, Jimbo Jimbo.
44:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's a buyout seventy million. But also it
44:11
Speaker 1: works both ways with those coaches, meaning if a school
44:13
Speaker 1: wants to come and hire them. They can at any point,
44:16
Speaker 1: but they got to pay the buy out or right
44:20
Speaker 1: if at the school that currently owns that contract. And uh,
44:24
Speaker 1: you know, the coach works for them. If they want
44:26
Speaker 1: to fire then that they have to pay out the
44:27
Speaker 1: buy out to the coach. So either way, you know,
44:30
Speaker 1: the coach makes some money.
44:31
Speaker 6: Is there another job where you get fired as much
44:34
Speaker 6: as coaches do?
44:35
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, that's a good question. Though. Let's think about that, hmm,
44:40
Speaker 1: because like coaches, Like, sorry, dude, I think I don't
44:44
Speaker 1: think that coaches are getting fired a lot. Well this
44:46
Speaker 1: year they are this year more than ever. But I'm
44:49
Speaker 1: saying it's like people winning the lottery. I don't have
44:52
Speaker 1: a lot of time.
44:52
Speaker 6: Put the theory together, so I know and I just
44:54
Speaker 6: threw this out, so follow me here.
44:57
Speaker 1: We hear a lot of stories about people want a lottery.
44:59
Speaker 1: They're very high profile stories. Yeah, it's like only if
45:02
Speaker 1: somebody wins a billion five hundred million. Most people aren't
45:05
Speaker 1: winning the lottery. Okay, I see what you're saying. And
45:08
Speaker 1: so whenever a big time coaching job is open, it
45:11
Speaker 1: is all over the news all the time. There are
45:14
Speaker 1: probably and Mike, you could look up how many Division one,
45:16
Speaker 1: Division two schools, Division three schools. There are probably hundreds
45:20
Speaker 1: and hundreds of total college schools. Yeah, and this is
45:23
Speaker 1: a big year because there are three hundred possibly, But
45:27
Speaker 1: there's what and it turns up being twenty jobs open
45:29
Speaker 1: in a big year, and a lot of that's carousel too,
45:33
Speaker 1: so there's really only a certain amounts. And then all
45:34
Speaker 1: these other jobs open because other coaches took other jobs.
45:37
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's that there are so many
45:38
Speaker 1: jobs open. I think they're just high profile jobs that
45:40
Speaker 1: we hear about.
45:41
Speaker 5: But then is.
45:44
Speaker 6: Alcorn State firing their coach because they didn't win?
45:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, possible games?
45:49
Speaker 1: Possibly are they?
45:51
Speaker 6: Because I feel like the smaller schools they're just like,
45:53
Speaker 6: you know what, like we lost four games, We'll give
45:56
Speaker 6: you two more years, three more years.
45:57
Speaker 1: I think smaller schools are a feeding system to bigger
45:59
Speaker 1: school or they have longer to build. They're given man
46:07
Speaker 1: four to seven years at smaller schools.
46:10
Speaker 6: And there's less lightballs on them, less pressure to win.
46:13
Speaker 1: And also when you say coaches getting fired, there are
46:15
Speaker 1: also forty coaches on every staff.
46:17
Speaker 5: True, I guess we're talking about head coach.
46:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying we know a lot of them
46:21
Speaker 1: because it's a high profile job that makes the news.
46:24
Speaker 1: So it's a job whe people get fired a lot.
46:25
Speaker 1: But I bet people get fired in business every day
46:27
Speaker 1: all the time. Sales people get fired all the time.
46:30
Speaker 1: So we just it's just in the news. It's like
46:33
Speaker 1: plane crashes.
46:33
Speaker 6: It's kind of harder to get fired though in the
46:35
Speaker 6: corporate world, right like in there like a lot of
46:37
Speaker 6: paperwork to fire people.
46:38
Speaker 1: Well there's also a lot of college you got to
46:40
Speaker 1: make to donors and boosters to get money to fire coaches.
46:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I remember the whole plane crash thing
46:45
Speaker 1: where there was a new store by a plane crashing
46:48
Speaker 1: or smoking out or something, or when there are fights
46:50
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, I don't think that was something
46:53
Speaker 1: that was happening all the time or in a lot
46:55
Speaker 1: of places. But when it did, man, it was highlighted
46:56
Speaker 1: and talked about a lot. I think that's basically what
46:58
Speaker 1: it is now. It's more this than ever before, especially
47:01
Speaker 1: the big jobs. But I don't think generally speaking, it's
47:05
Speaker 1: a profession where a lot of people are just getting
47:10
Speaker 1: fired WILLI nilly, because there's real money involved. But it
47:14
Speaker 1: does seem like it's fine, it is, I mean fun
47:17
Speaker 1: for us, it's fine. Yeah, it's fine.
47:20
Speaker 8: Turnover rate is kind of comparable to CEOs or politicians.
47:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can fire politicians, yeah, not relect them. Oh
47:28
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I would assume that would be what a
47:31
Speaker 1: firing of a politician is like, not re electing him.
47:34
Speaker 9: Yeah, serve a term and you're done.
47:37
Speaker 1: Well. You could also serve a term and be done
47:39
Speaker 1: and do what most I feel in that world should
47:42
Speaker 1: do is do your couple of terms then get out
47:44
Speaker 1: and not be a lifelong politician. But most don't do that.
47:46
Speaker 1: They just want to get re elected. Okay, I want
47:48
Speaker 1: to get over to this interview Eddie did Oh.
47:50
Speaker 6: It's a fantastic interview, one of the best, one of
47:53
Speaker 6: the best we've ever done on the podcast.
47:54
Speaker 1: Really, I'm excited to not hear it with new.
47:59
Speaker 5: Why not?
47:59
Speaker 1: And I know ever will.
48:02
Speaker 5: Great.
48:03
Speaker 1: Now you're telling everyone listening don't listen to it. I
48:05
Speaker 1: didn't say that, But why would I listen to it?
48:07
Speaker 6: I don't know, just because you and this is one

49:25
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it last night and I was like,
49:27

49:30
Speaker 5: If you would have had to tell me three times,
49:31
Speaker 5: agot problem?
49:32
Speaker 1: Well, No, I was emailing Eddie to the wrong email address. Yes, yes,

50:08
Speaker 1: Eddie populates into the thing. But yeah, yeah, yeah, here
50:12

50:23
Speaker 1: to uh Eddie with NASCAR Cup Champion Kyle Larson.
50:26
Speaker 5: I've heard this interview is great.
50:28
Speaker 6: Shut up, I'm just playing the thing.
50:33
Speaker 1: Anybody listening right now? Will you send me your notes
50:37
Speaker 1: on Eddie's interview like dm me and Instagram your notes? No,
50:45
Speaker 1: be kind, guys, No, I want to know what they

Speaker 1: really think. It may be Eddie did great, Amy did
50:51
Speaker 1: an interview with what Andy Bosco. Yeah, that we put
50:54
Speaker 1: up on the Bobby Bone Show because it was for
50:55
Speaker 1: women to buy our country and we only use parts
50:58
Speaker 1: of it, and so we put the whole thing up
50:59
Speaker 1: and for the most part, people were positive about it.
51:01
Speaker 1: I don't think people are going hard for the sake
51:03
Speaker 1: of going hard.
51:04
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I feel that with this setup you're setting
51:06
Speaker 5: them up.
51:06
Speaker 4: I'm not.
51:07
Speaker 1: I'm just asking give us a few critique lines.
51:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, three, yeah, and be be real, be real or
51:15
Speaker 6: oh this could hurt See this is what I'm worried about.
51:18
Speaker 1: So these are the two things I would say one
51:20
Speaker 1: either DM me or two. If you're listening on Spotify,
51:24
Speaker 1: there's the comment section. Oh oh no, right, but write
51:31
Speaker 1: us a critique of Eddie's interview here.
51:33
Speaker 5: But would this hurt our streaming?
51:36
Speaker 1: No, it would help it.
51:36
Speaker 5: We love the even it was just like, this is
51:38
Speaker 5: the worst thing interview I've ever heard in my life.
51:41
Speaker 1: Nope, we just love engagement. Okay, all right, here we go.
51:44
Speaker 1: Kyle won the championship on Sunday, and some people say
51:47
Speaker 1: it was kind of a cheap win because he didn't
51:50
Speaker 1: actually win the race. Is something we find out about here.
51:53
Speaker 1: Not really how did not win the race if he
51:55
Speaker 1: won the.
51:55
Speaker 6: Race, because it's not how it works, like you don't
51:56
Speaker 6: have to actually win the race that he was right,
51:58
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, of course know how that works.
52:01
Speaker 1: So I don't know how he's got enough points and
52:02
Speaker 1: you finished in a high enough spot. And you'll hear it.
52:04
Speaker 1: It's not a cheap one.
52:04
Speaker 6: You'll hear in the interview he took two tires instead
52:08
Speaker 6: of four. Denny Hamlin, who could have won as well,
52:11
Speaker 6: took four tires. That was on him. So it takes
52:13
Speaker 6: longer to put four tires on and it takes two.
52:15
Speaker 6: That's why they think you want.
52:16
Speaker 1: You can now follow Kyle on social media at Kyle
52:19
Speaker 1: Larson Racing. Here he is the great Eddie with Kyle Larson.
52:23
Speaker 6: We're here with two time NASCAR Cup Series champ Kyle Larson. Dude,
52:28
Speaker 6: this yesterday was crazy, man like that. That race was nuts.
52:32
Speaker 6: So run me through the end of that race where
52:38
Speaker 6: William Byron goes out he hits the wall. You've got
52:41
Speaker 6: a decision to make. You're in the caution and you
52:45
Speaker 6: decided to go with two tires. Who decided to go
52:47
Speaker 6: with two tires? Was that you or who made that call?
52:50
Speaker 6: Because obviously it was the right call.
52:52
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it was just a team decision.
52:54
Speaker 7: We were all kind of on the same page there,
52:57
Speaker 7: you and the caution came out. We have our own
53:01
Speaker 7: little code words for what you know means what for
53:03
Speaker 7: whether it's four tires or two tires, and uh, I
53:06
Speaker 7: kind of like threw it out there like hey, what
53:07
Speaker 7: are you guys thinking about this? And they're like, oh,
53:10
Speaker 7: we're definitely doing that, Like all right, let's let's go.
53:12
Speaker 7: I think that's our only shot to win here. And yeah,
53:15
Speaker 7: we just exeued a good pit stop and yeah I
53:19
Speaker 7: was able to uh do we had to do there?
53:22
Speaker 7: So yeah, as you mentioned, just a crazy finish for us.
53:25
Speaker 7: You know, we were pretty average all day at best,
53:28
Speaker 7: and you went a lap down in the third stage
53:32
Speaker 7: and just uh never gave up and and I think
53:35
Speaker 7: that was that was it and that's what you know,
53:38
Speaker 7: got us got us at championship.
53:40
Speaker 6: Are you saying that you have code words because everyone
53:42
Speaker 6: can hear the radio talk, Yeah.
53:45
Speaker 7: Every team kind of has code words because yeah, you're
53:49
Speaker 7: you're you're trying to decoy a little bit, you know
53:51
Speaker 7: what you're gonna do because yeah, all the all the
53:54
Speaker 7: teams are scanning the radio of all the other race cars.
53:57
Speaker 7: So yeah, you just try to keep keep things a
54:00
Speaker 7: little bit of a secret. And that's how you do
54:02
Speaker 7: that with with the code words.
54:04
Speaker 6: And when did you know that Denny took four tires?
54:06
Speaker 6: And that immediately you're like, this is gonna this could work.
54:09
Speaker 12: Yeah.
54:10
Speaker 7: So you know, my pit stall was like on the
54:12
Speaker 7: complete opposite side of the racetrack as his. So we
54:15
Speaker 7: did our pit stop, our two tires, and I came
54:17
Speaker 7: out and the pit road kind of goes around turns
54:20
Speaker 7: three and four, so you curve around.
54:22
Speaker 12: He was in the number one.
54:23
Speaker 7: Pit stall, so I was just trying to look as
54:25
Speaker 7: far around as I could and just praying that he
54:27
Speaker 7: wasn't taking two tires as well. And when I saw
54:30
Speaker 7: they were taking four, and then as many people that
54:33
Speaker 7: I have between him and I, you know, a few people,
54:36
Speaker 7: I was like, man, we got a good shot here,
54:38
Speaker 7: we got a little buffer, and I'm gonna try and
54:41
Speaker 7: you rip hard on this restart through one and two,
54:43
Speaker 7: and it just all worked out.
54:45
Speaker 6: I think what was so cool is as soon as
54:47
Speaker 6: you want, when you crossed the finish line, you start
54:49
Speaker 6: yelling like thank you, team, like we did it. How
54:53
Speaker 6: many people go into this because obviously we watch and
54:55
Speaker 6: we watch you race and we're like, this is Kyle.
54:57
Speaker 5: He does he's in charge, he he deserves to win.
55:01
Speaker 6: But there are so many people behind the scenes, Like
55:03
Speaker 6: how many people are actually involved in this win.
55:05
Speaker 7: Well, I think there's like close to five hundred people
55:08
Speaker 7: at hundred Motorsports, so and every single person has you know,
55:14
Speaker 7: has a part in the four cars, the four hundred
55:17
Speaker 7: Motorsports cars getting to the racetrack and and racing. So yeah,
55:21
Speaker 7: it's a huge team win, but especially you know the
55:24
Speaker 7: team of people at the racetrack or your core core
55:27
Speaker 7: group and that you know, championship yesterday took every single
55:31
Speaker 7: person there. So I was just blown away and shocked
55:35
Speaker 7: and surprised and all of it, and just so proud
55:37
Speaker 7: of the team for then they never give up attitude
55:41
Speaker 7: and and do what we had to do to make
55:44
Speaker 7: the the gutsy calls the right moment and then take
55:46
Speaker 7: advantage of the moment.
55:47
Speaker 6: You said the car was like average at best. I've
55:51
Speaker 6: heard you guys like I like to I like to
55:53
Speaker 6: bet on NASCAR.
55:54
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite things to do.
55:55
Speaker 6: So like sometimes i'll bet before the race starts, and
55:59
Speaker 6: then it's as soon as I hear like you or
56:01
Speaker 6: anyone on the radio say like, man, the car is loose,
56:03
Speaker 6: this is not feeling right, immediately, well I lost that bet.
56:07
Speaker 6: What what do you mean by that when you say
56:09
Speaker 6: like the car's loose.
56:11
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, So when when you hear a driver saying
56:14
Speaker 7: the car is loose, that means like the rear end
56:16
Speaker 7: of the car wants to come around. When you say
56:19
Speaker 7: you're tight, that means like the front end of the
56:21
Speaker 7: car wants to hit the wall. So yeah, and then
56:25
Speaker 7: you're just trying to find that right balance.
56:27
Speaker 12: Of where you got.
56:29
Speaker 7: You know, it's just kind of free and natural and
56:32
Speaker 7: going around the corner easy. But yeah, my car yesterday
56:37
Speaker 7: was it was all of it. I was tight and
56:39
Speaker 7: loose and slow and frustrated and all of it.
56:43
Speaker 5: Yeah.
56:44
Speaker 6: But see as soon as I hear that, I'm like,
56:45
Speaker 6: that's lost. But that's not always the case. Is that
56:48
Speaker 6: what you're telling me, Kyle? Is that not always the
56:50
Speaker 6: case that even though it doesn't feel right, you could
56:52
Speaker 6: still win.
56:53
Speaker 12: Yeah, And that's just the way NASCAR racing is.
56:55
Speaker 7: Because you get a late caution like we did yesterday,
56:57
Speaker 7: and then you get you get strategy them into play
57:00
Speaker 7: and you never know, you know what the clear cut
57:04
Speaker 7: answer is, You don't know what other teams are going
57:06
Speaker 7: to do.
57:06
Speaker 12: So it just gets wild and crazy.
57:08
Speaker 7: And and yeah, I would say more often than not,
57:11
Speaker 7: I feel like in the Cup Series, the fastest car
57:14
Speaker 7: doesn't always win. You know, there's so many elements into racing,
57:19
Speaker 7: you know, with pit stops and and other competitors on
57:22
Speaker 7: the track and and and like I mentioned.
57:24
Speaker 12: The strategies.
57:25
Speaker 7: It's just it gets wild and you got to be
57:28
Speaker 7: prepared for those wild moments.
57:30
Speaker 6: Now we're recording this the day after your win. What happens?
57:34
Speaker 6: What happens after you win? After the TV goes out,
57:37
Speaker 6: we don't see you anymore, Like, how do you celebrate
57:40
Speaker 6: this win?
57:40
Speaker 7: Well, for the championship, it's a lot of pictures, like
57:45
Speaker 7: tons of pictures. My cheeks hurt today from smiling so much. So,
57:50
Speaker 7: but yeah, it's it was about I don't know, close
57:53
Speaker 7: to five hours or so of of you know, celebration
57:57
Speaker 7: at the track and.
57:58
Speaker 12: Pictures like I mentioned in interviews and.
58:00
Speaker 7: All that, and then hurry home, shower and go go out.
58:04
Speaker 7: You know, we went out in old town Scottsdale last
58:06
Speaker 7: night and that was a blash. You know, the whole
58:09
Speaker 7: team was able to come and and celebrate the championship. So, uh,
58:14
Speaker 7: just really proud of everybody and cool to celebrate. You know,
58:17
Speaker 7: we had a our team looked a lot different, you know,
58:20
Speaker 7: from our first championship, so it was cool that, you know,
58:23
Speaker 7: it was a lot of their first championships and hopefully
58:25
Speaker 7: not their last.
58:26
Speaker 6: When you say you go out, what do you tell
58:27
Speaker 6: the kids, Like, all right, guys, dad's got to go celebrate.
58:30
Speaker 5: That'll be back.
58:31
Speaker 7: I think they understood, they knew what we were going
58:34
Speaker 7: to do last night. So yeah, we we brought a
58:38
Speaker 7: nanny out with us this trip.
58:40
Speaker 1: So smart, helpful.
58:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's funny because like my kids, you know, they
58:45
Speaker 6: think every dad's on the radio or has a podcast
58:47
Speaker 6: or whatever, and it's not the case. Like, no, man,
58:51
Speaker 6: not every kid's not. Not every dad's like this. What
58:53
Speaker 6: about you? Do your kids know what you know? Do
58:56
Speaker 6: they know what you do in the sense of like
58:59
Speaker 6: you're one of the best race car drivers out there?
59:02
Speaker 12: That's a good question. I don't know.
59:05
Speaker 7: I don't know that. I think I think Owen probably is.
59:10
Speaker 7: He's he's my oldest. I think he gets an idea,
59:15
Speaker 7: which I got to remind him sometimes because he's ra
59:17
Speaker 7: He races himself and I'm like, dude, you got to
59:20
Speaker 7: listen to me.
59:20
Speaker 12: Don't get real.
59:21
Speaker 5: Knows what he's talking about now.
59:25
Speaker 7: So I think he's starting to realize, but I'm not sure,
59:29
Speaker 7: you know, and I don't. I don't want I mean,
59:31
Speaker 7: I guess you know, his dad.
59:32
Speaker 12: You you want to be that superhero.
59:34
Speaker 7: But I also don't want them to think that I'm
59:36
Speaker 7: above anybody, because I am just a normal person and
59:39
Speaker 7: I'm and I'm I'm their dad and and they get
59:42
Speaker 7: to see a side of me that nobody else gets
59:44
Speaker 7: to see. So uh, yeah, that probably makes me seem
59:49
Speaker 7: more down to earth to them. But yeah, it's just
59:53
Speaker 7: cool having your family at the racetrack and getting to
59:55
Speaker 7: celebrate moments like that.
59:56
Speaker 12: It's uh, it's pretty pretty amazing.
59:58
Speaker 6: I'm sure you you know lot of celebrities, a lot
1:00:01
Speaker 6: of you've met a lot of people in your career
1:00:04
Speaker 6: when you win, like last night, Who's what's the coolest
1:00:08
Speaker 6: text you get from?
1:00:09
Speaker 1: Who?
1:00:09
Speaker 6: And and do you does your phone blow up too
1:00:12
Speaker 6: after a win?
1:00:14
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, it definitely does.
1:00:15
Speaker 7: I think I had probably some of the mid four
1:00:18
Speaker 7: hundreds last night. So yeah, I've been able to get
1:00:23
Speaker 7: through most.
1:00:23
Speaker 12: Of them, which is which is good.
1:00:25
Speaker 7: It takes time, but yeah, I don't know, I think
1:00:28
Speaker 7: for me, yeah, there's definitely you know, some celebrities that'll
1:00:31
Speaker 7: text you, But for me. It's it's the people that have,
1:00:35
Speaker 7: you know, meant the most to me throughout my life.
1:00:37
Speaker 7: I would say, going back to like my childhood, having
1:00:39
Speaker 7: a lot of my childhood friends that I maybe don't
1:00:42
Speaker 7: get to stay in touch with much anymore because I'm
1:00:45
Speaker 7: you know, outraced on the East Coast a lot. You
1:00:47
Speaker 7: have my friends and supporters that have been there from
1:00:50
Speaker 7: the beginning. I think those are the ones that mean
1:00:51
Speaker 7: the most to me.
1:00:52
Speaker 6: So when you text back, say to the four hundred replies,
1:00:55
Speaker 6: is it kind of the same thing, like thanks dude,
1:00:57
Speaker 6: thank you, thanks, appreciate it.
1:01:00
Speaker 12: It's a lot of that.
1:01:01
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, just because man, it would if you
1:01:04
Speaker 7: got real personal with it, it would I don't know
1:01:07
Speaker 7: how long it would take, but it would take a
1:01:09
Speaker 7: very long time. And I don't like seeing the the
1:01:12
Speaker 7: unread you know, the red number text message on there.
1:01:16
Speaker 12: I like my phone pretty clean.
1:01:17
Speaker 6: So so you don't have anything to get through it
1:01:19
Speaker 6: with me, So you you make sure they're all red.
1:01:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean I respond to them too, so
1:01:26
Speaker 7: but yeah, I just don't like the little red bubble
1:01:29
Speaker 7: on there saying my email. I make sure I've at
1:01:33
Speaker 7: least open it to where I don't have any unread
1:01:36
Speaker 7: emails because I just don't like the cluttered nest.
1:01:38
Speaker 6: I'm looking at mine. I have twenty three and sixty
1:01:42
Speaker 6: five unread emails.
1:01:44
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. We're very different, man, very different.
1:01:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, dang, is.
1:01:49
Speaker 6: That is that kind of the way you are with
1:01:51
Speaker 6: your with your race car? Like does everything have to
1:01:54
Speaker 6: be exactly the same way every time you get in there?
1:01:58
Speaker 7: I think with sure, Like with how I my morning
1:02:02
Speaker 7: routine would go, or the way I buckle myself into
1:02:05
Speaker 7: the race car, like all of that is, yes, very
1:02:09
Speaker 7: much the same every time, you know, even putting the
1:02:12
Speaker 7: what order you put your shoes on, your gloves on?
1:02:16
Speaker 12: So a little bit OCD.
1:02:17
Speaker 7: I don't know if all race car drivers are like
1:02:19
Speaker 7: that or not, but I just yeah, I don't know.
1:02:22
Speaker 12: I've just always been like that, just kind of muscle memory.
1:02:25
Speaker 6: Are you sock sock, shoe shoe or are you sock shoe,
1:02:28
Speaker 6: socks shoe?
1:02:30
Speaker 12: I'm socks and shoes.
1:02:32
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, just making sure I didn't know you
1:02:34
Speaker 6: were a psychotic or not.
1:02:35
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure.
1:02:36
Speaker 12: You're some Yeah, I would say that sounds very psychoic.
1:02:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I thought. That's what I thought.
1:02:42
Speaker 6: What one more question I was going to ask you
1:02:44
Speaker 6: about just kind of you know, pre pre erace odds
1:02:47
Speaker 6: and stuff. Before you race, do you look at the
1:02:49
Speaker 6: odds to see if you're a favorite to win or
1:02:51
Speaker 6: do you kind of know you already know where you're at.
1:02:54
Speaker 7: I don't look, but a lot of times, you know,
1:02:57
Speaker 7: because I'm in it right, Like I know what tracks
1:03:00
Speaker 7: are good, I know how practice kind of went, and
1:03:04
Speaker 7: and a lot of times we're the favorite, you know,
1:03:06
Speaker 7: the five, like Kyle Larson and the five team, because
1:03:09
Speaker 7: you know, we we run up.
1:03:10
Speaker 4: Front a lot. But there's a lot of tracks.
1:03:12
Speaker 12: I'm like, man, I don't know why they have me
1:03:13
Speaker 12: the favorite.
1:03:14
Speaker 7: I know I'm gonna suck. But uh yeah, we're not
1:03:18
Speaker 7: allowed to talk about it.
1:03:19
Speaker 12: We can't. We can't offer any insight.
1:03:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, do you uh, what's what's another sport?
1:03:24
Speaker 1: What do like? What sport are you into?
1:03:25
Speaker 6: You?
1:03:25
Speaker 5: Do you like football?
1:03:26
Speaker 7: Yeah?
1:03:27
Speaker 12: I like football? I mean I like all sports.
1:03:29
Speaker 7: I would say I'm not I don't have the time
1:03:31
Speaker 7: to get fully invested in it, you know, and and
1:03:35
Speaker 7: know the players and who's on the injured list and
1:03:40
Speaker 7: all that, or who just got traded but I enjoy
1:03:43
Speaker 7: watching all sports. I'm you know, I'm a competitor, so
1:03:46
Speaker 7: I like to see, you know, athletes compete at a
1:03:48
Speaker 7: high level and just get a glimpse into what their
1:03:50
Speaker 7: mindsets might be.
1:03:51
Speaker 12: And but yeah.
1:03:53
Speaker 7: Right now it's football season, so I'm enjoying watching some
1:03:56
Speaker 7: some football.
1:03:57
Speaker 6: I mean, I love watching you guys on the weekends.
1:03:59
Speaker 6: But I always think, you know, like, man like Kyle
1:04:01
Speaker 6: can't watch football today, like he's got a race today.
1:04:04
Speaker 6: You know, do you feel like your weekends are just
1:04:06
Speaker 6: shot because of what you do?
1:04:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean our life routine is much different than
1:04:11
Speaker 7: a normal person like our I feel like our weekends,
1:04:15
Speaker 7: you know, our Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, Tuesday Wednesday really and
1:04:20
Speaker 7: that's everybody's working. So it's like you don't really get
1:04:23
Speaker 7: a chance to hang out with people or go on
1:04:25
Speaker 7: vacations or whatever.
1:04:26
Speaker 12: So it's a bit odd.
1:04:27
Speaker 7: But yeah, football, I mean we miss all the games,
1:04:30
Speaker 7: but yeah, I'll watch Usually our race gets done in
1:04:34
Speaker 7: time to like when Sunday night football's turned on, which
1:04:37
Speaker 7: is cool, we can sit on the plane and.
1:04:40
Speaker 12: Watch some football.
1:04:41
Speaker 6: So what now, man, how long do you celebrate this
1:04:44
Speaker 6: win and enjoy this win and then move on to
1:04:46
Speaker 6: the next.
1:04:48
Speaker 7: I would say, I mean the banquet we have here
1:04:51
Speaker 7: in Arizona tomorrow, So I think that makes the celebration
1:04:55
Speaker 7: much shorter before, you know, we used to have the
1:04:57
Speaker 7: banquet at three or four weeks, probably after the final race.
1:05:01
Speaker 7: So it's I would think that the celebration seems longer.
1:05:05
Speaker 7: But I think it'll be good. I I I think
1:05:07
Speaker 7: it's good that we're having it right after. It's fresh,
1:05:09
Speaker 7: you're excited still and all that. So yeah, I look
1:05:13
Speaker 7: forward to celebrating with the team again tomorrow night and
1:05:16
Speaker 7: celebrating this the year that all of us teams had,
1:05:20
Speaker 7: and then yeah, getting.
1:05:21
Speaker 12: Focused for for next year.
1:05:23
Speaker 7: I'll get to I do a lot of dirt track racing,
1:05:25
Speaker 7: so I'll do some some dirt track stuff this offseason,
1:05:27
Speaker 7: and then yeah, just get ready for for Daytona in February.
1:05:31
Speaker 1: Lastly, where does the where does the trophy go?
1:05:34
Speaker 6: Because when I won my first CMA award, I was like,
1:05:37
Speaker 6: I'm this is going my living room.
1:05:38
Speaker 5: My wife's like, no, it's not it.
1:05:41
Speaker 7: I have a nice trophy case in my house, like
1:05:44
Speaker 7: a game room, so glass, you know, lit up trophy case.
1:05:49
Speaker 7: It's really nice and that's where I have all my
1:05:51
Speaker 7: big wins. But yeah, I'm gonna have to kind of
1:05:55
Speaker 7: re lay out the shelving and I and I think,
1:05:59
Speaker 7: you know, probably gonna have to pull a trophy out
1:06:02
Speaker 7: of there because they're all big ones and uh yeah,
1:06:05
Speaker 7: I don't think all of the space for everything.
1:06:07
Speaker 6: That's a good problem to have, dude. Congratulations, man, it's
1:06:09
Speaker 6: really awesome. It was a great race, it was a
1:06:13
Speaker 6: good season. And just congrats do and thank you so
1:06:16
Speaker 6: much for making time to hang out with us with
1:06:18
Speaker 6: us today.
1:06:19
Speaker 12: Yeah, thank you, thanks so much, Bud.
1:06:23
Speaker 1: All Right, that's gonna wrap us up. I hope everybody
1:06:25
Speaker 1: has a great weekend. You too, man. I was just
1:06:29
Speaker 1: looking at games like, we're screwed our money league this week,
1:06:32
Speaker 1: no matter what, because our teams are playing each other
1:06:34
Speaker 1: and we gotta buy. We're gonna be down in the
1:06:35
Speaker 1: whole bout a thousand bucks again we always had that
1:06:38
Speaker 1: time we were up a thousand in ear league. Is
1:06:39
Speaker 1: that bad? It could? Yeah, it could. Yeah. I thought
1:06:44
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a good week because the Cowboys
1:06:45
Speaker 1: aren'tna buy too many teams on buying. Yeah, yeah, it
1:06:50
Speaker 1: sucks for us. Okay, big college game of the week.
1:06:54
Speaker 1: I think the BYU Texas Tech game is super interesting
1:06:58
Speaker 1: because I think it's kind of, as Andy Staple said,
1:07:02
Speaker 1: a playoff game, but they may meet each other again.
1:07:05
Speaker 1: I think that's a fun one. I think LSU at
1:07:07
Speaker 1: Alabama's fun. Orgon eye organ and I it's a pretty
1:07:09
Speaker 1: good weekend for college football. That's all. You're just gonna
1:07:13
Speaker 1: be sitting around watching football. Probably did you actually have
1:07:17
Speaker 1: a good reason. Yeah, but I really don't get any
1:07:20
Speaker 1: pressure to not sit around watch football anyway. We don't
1:07:22
Speaker 1: have a baby yet, and I think with the baby,
1:07:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sitting around even more watching football. Yeah,
1:07:26
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be. My wife's not like nagging me
1:07:29
Speaker 1: to go do crap. I think for the first few
1:07:30
Speaker 1: years she wanted to do stuff, and now she's like,
1:07:32
Speaker 1: I ask, screwt, where Mary do it? Ever? You want?
