• 1:25
  Speaker 3: 25 Whistles.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, I hit it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: Welcome.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, by the way, J.J. McCarthy just got traded.
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: Just saw that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, 40 minutes ago.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: To who?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Giants.
• 1:35
  Speaker 8: Oh, wow.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they need someone.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's funny how all these guys have to And I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: get it. They're the breakers of the news. It's their thing.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: But I was reading Ian Rappaport, who's been on the show,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and I've met Ian a few times, but it's the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Giants are trading for Vikings former first-round quarterback J.J. McCarthy
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: per me, Adam Schefter, and Mike Garofalo. So it took
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: three of you to break that?
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: Uh-huh.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: You think it's because they work for the same company,
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: all of them?
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: Now that NFL and ESPN merge, so they have to
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: give all each other credit?
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: No.
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: Or just trying to be nice?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: It's whomever is giving that information gives it to all
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: three of them at the same time.
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So no. Because you don't care about people in your company.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You're that guy.
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: True.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Like, Shams doesn't go, per me and any other ESPN
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: basketball guy.
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: Now, do the other guys go, per me, and then
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: the other two, and then the other, you know?
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, probably.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Like, it's respect.
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, like, hey, you put me on yours, I'll put
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: you on mine.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see. I'm going to Schefter's now.
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: Okay, I'll go to Garofalo.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: The Giants had a chance to take J.J.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: McCarthy.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: Here we go.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sources, me, Rap Sheet, and Mike Garofalo.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: They must have talked about it then.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: No, they get the information from the same person that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: sends it to all three of them.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, so does the same person say, oh, or is
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: it a text thread?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's what it would be. Oh, it's a text thread.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Interesting.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So anyway, there it goes. I got a lot of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: notes from this weekend. All right, everybody's here.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to roll down my notes in order. Yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: go ahead. I'm not going to the Cowboys first, don't worry.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Unless you'd like to.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: No, I'm good.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing about that Cowboys game.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: I thought we were going to start with the Cowboys.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll hold then.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Let's hold.
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: What?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It was tied last night with seven seconds left, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I went to put the baby in the bath because
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I was going to watch overtime.
• 3:32
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: You had time to do that. You had time to
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: do whatever you wanted to do and come back and
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: then see overtime.
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And then I came back and Baltimore was jumping up
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and down celebrating a made field goal. So I did
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not see the pass. I did not see the kick.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I saw nothing. I was coming back to watch overtime.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: This brings up a good point. So I thought the
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: same thing too. Like I went to the bathroom thinking like, okay,
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: we're tired. We're going to go to overtime. And I
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: come back just in time to see the pass and,
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: And then see the kick. But in my head, in
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: your head, we were all kind of like the Cowboys
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: heads being like, we're going to overtime.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: No, if I'm in the Cowboys... If I'm on their sideline,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into overtime.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I understand that. But the fact that you gave the
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: baby a bath, I went to the bathroom.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm watching on television. The Cowboys don't have a baby
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to give a bath to.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: I just feel like in their heads, they were like
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: all of us being like, all right, let's kick this ball.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: We'll run out of time and we'll go to overtime.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't think that at all, especially because they
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: didn't come up in the formation to just kneel it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: No.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and they practice this stuff every week.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Did we get Michigan, though? Did we get Western Michigan
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: with that clock?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Seven seconds?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. I saw the pass, and I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: saw the kick, and I saw them both on replay,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: so I didn't see that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Because it looked like they were out of time.
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but here's the thing. Don't touch them.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you let them just go down.
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Let them fall down, and then don't touch them.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I did hear them saying that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: And the clock doesn't stop.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't think about that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: So it's also on the defender.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: What they called the timeout. No, they called the timeout.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: After he touched him?
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, as soon as the play was over, everybody.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: You can't call a timeout while the play is still happening.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Well, they went back and looked and said that Lamar
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Jackson and everyone on the field and the coaches were
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: all calling timeout.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That's fine, but you can't call timeout while the play
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: is live. And if no one touches them, the play
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: is still live. They don't go out of bounds and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: no one touches them, the play is still live.
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: I don't know, dude.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. You know what? Here,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: when stuff like this happens.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about it later or are you good?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Well, we can talk about it later.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll come back to it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's come back to it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So, okay, I'm going to roll down my notes. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: did say if Arkansas beat Tulsa, I'd donate $ 100 for
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: every point. And they won by 28, so I have
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to donate $ 2, 800. Dang. What sucked for me was during
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that day earlier, they were doing some picks during college
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: game day, and they went over and they said, Tulsa's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: playing an SEC team, and two of the people picked
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Tulsa to beat us. And then they said an SEC team,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and they laughed.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, guys.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: About Arkansas being in the SEC. That's messed up. That's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a tough one.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's messed up.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: But we did win, and it rained.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Who laughed?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Do you remember who laughed? Did you pick out who laughed?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I remember, yeah, Desmond.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Desmond laughed?
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: His team got it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Also, AI went 3-0 Saturday, 0-1 Sunday. I used my AI,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: my Muse app. And I said, all right, give me
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the bets. And I bet all three of them on Saturday.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Went 3-0.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That's amazing, dude. Because I was on a nine bet
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: losing streak.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Going into the week?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Because we talked about it on the show.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Because what am I going to bet on in the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: middle of the week? Who am I, Eddie?
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, dude. There's a lot to bet on during
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the week.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: No, I know, I know. WNBA.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: WNBA is on.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: European soccer.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So I went 3-0 Saturday, 0-1 Sunday. How many of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the bets that I shared with you guys from AI
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: did you bet, Kevin?
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: Just the one.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: On Saturday?
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: On Saturday, yeah. I didn't do the Sunday one because
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: I was traveling that day. Eddie?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I only bet one.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: If you only bet the Sunday one, it's why we lost.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Did you only bet the Sunday one?
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I bet the Sunday one.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: And I didn't want to tell you guys that because
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: you guys would blame me immediately.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: It won every time until you got on.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: It's one of those things where I saw you guys
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: just winning and be like, ah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: We won three in a row.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I got to jump in on this.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: But you didn't jump in on Saturday. You did your
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: own bet and you lost that one, didn't you? Or no,
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: did you send that one to us?
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think it's my fault, dude. Honestly.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Well, let's just look at the numbers here. The three
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you didn't bet on won. The one you did lost.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: And then you told AI that you didn't win it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And they said, sorry about that. That's on me. That's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: on me.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: You got to love that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Because we lost on the Joe Burrow strip sack.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, at the end there, huh?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: That's right. That was it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: That was a good game.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Another note I have is the Tennessee and Texas game.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: One of the funnier moments was they were talking about
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: how the audio would be affected in the headsets on
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the field because the president was in the stadium. There
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: could be times where they would have no audio going
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: back and forth. But again, it won't be affected, especially
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: on television. But as they're talking about it, the audio
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: goes out.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Perfect timing.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It sounded terrible. I thought my TV was messing up.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: That's what it was because the whole president thing.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know that that's why it messed up
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: on television right at that point. But it was hilarious
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: because they're like, it shouldn't affect the audio. Just goes out.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: That's perfect.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: What a nightmare.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: I would think that would. I mean, that makes sense.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: You know, like Secret Service comes in with their own frequencies.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: It's going to take over whatever's going on in that stadium.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Mike, you pretty happy about that Texas game?
• 8:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we got through with the win, even though I
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: almost wanted to throw up at one point.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Were you puckered, Mike?
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: That onside kick, I can't believe that they recovered that.
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: I didn't even know you could drop kick an onside kick.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And then people were then saying that he didn't drop
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it on the right yard line, that it should have
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: been right on the 35. And that's probably a rule,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but he didn't. He kicked it from like the 33.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: But pretty cool kick. I couldn't believe it worked. And
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: then I thought Tennessee was going to go down and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: win the game, and they didn't. They are terrible.
• 9:07
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they put out a statement this morning saying it
• 9:09
  Speaker 11: should have been a penalty.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: They did?
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Who put out the statement?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Probably the SEC.
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Man, I hate those statements. Just be quiet.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: Just let it be.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: No, you can't just be quiet.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: No, you have to.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Even the one they send out, like, we were wrong.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Western Michigan should have won, but they didn't. That makes
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: it so much worse.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I was glad they did that. It kind of drove
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it in the hearts of Michigan a little more that their.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: Win oh didn't shouldn't have counted yeah and then.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: If they go to the bcs or it used to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: be the bcs but now it's the playoff committee and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: they're debating and it's close to bring that that'll probably
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: factor in because then they're looking for anything if it's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: close between two teams.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah and they can use that as an excuse or
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: reason whatever you want to call it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: The official statement how about that iowa michigan yeah yeah
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: iowa michigan game that was crazy.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Two seconds left caught the touchdown pass yeah right in
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the front corner of the end zone on the side
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it was that was wild it was lovely whole stadium
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just done it was lovely.
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: It was lovely.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: You like that?
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Why, because they did it on the road?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was a last-second non-field goal. It was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a last-second touchdown pass on the edge. Had to be
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: thrown exactly right. Had to be caught. Time was up.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It was all on that play. It's rare that that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: happens like that. Especially Iowa passing the ball and winning
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: on a pass. Hey, Mike, what was up with your
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: dude pulling out his wiener and fake peeing on everybody?
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Everything.
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: I don't know, man.
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: That almost, I mean, that changed the whole momentum of
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: the game.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Who did that?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I couldn't, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe he
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: did that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: Like, so like, like what went through his mind of
• 10:40
  Speaker 11: like that whole, it was so elaborate and so over
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: the top. He thought this is what I'm going to do.
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And the fact that he had to have already thought
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of that, that's not something that hits him right in the, Oh,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I should quickly, let me think of a fun celebration.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I'll pull out my pecker and fake it. Like I'm
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: peeing on every, he did. It was right in the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: middle of the field, dude. You were practicing that leading
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: up to the game. It's like when you pull out
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a gun and go, gat, gat, gat, gat, gat. You
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: know you can't do that and you're going to get flagged.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bad news. Why would you ever do that and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: think you can get away with it? It was so blatant.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: So that was a note I had. People thought I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: was the guest picker for a minute on game day.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Knoxville.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: That's funny.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Huh.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: You know what I never really put two and two
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: together was, is he called Johnny Knoxville because he's from Knoxville?
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: I never knew that until that day.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that either.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: People will come up to me occasionally and think I'm
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Johnny Knoxville.
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: Huh.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: His hair is grayer than mine.
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: But he wears big, bold glasses and he's just an
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: average looking white guy. So I had some people that
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: thought I was on college game day for a few minutes.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: But he was in a full Tennessee uniform and I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: would never.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: Was anybody like coming at you? On social media, like,
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: you're an idiot for that pick or something? No, no, no.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: People were just like, I thought you were on game day.
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: On first glance, we thought it was you because you
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: live in Nashville.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I have another note here. Did you see Justin Verlander's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: last start?
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that was really cool.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: One, he pitched really well. I think he pitched five,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: five plus maybe. And so when he went out to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: even start the game, they sent him out on the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: field by himself, which was cool. Nobody else ran out
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: with him. And then when they pulled him, his daughter
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: came out and ran out and hugged him, and he
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: was crying, and the manager came out. It was a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: good moment. For sure, Hall of Famer. Multiple Cy Youngs, MVP,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: World Series. So that was a cool one.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that was awesome.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: The USC-Oregon game and the hit, that's bad news.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Really bad.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That's bad news. I think... And I haven't heard anybody
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: talk about this, although I haven't heard anything because we
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: came into the show this morning, so I've not heard
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: anything from Monday. But Dylan Raiola is not a backup quarterback.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: He started two years in Nebraska. So I'm not saying
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that people were saying he was, but he's their backup quarterback,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and he went in and played really well. And so
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it makes sense. Oregon has a ton of money. He
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: wanted to come in and sit for a year and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: be the starter next year. It makes sense that he's good.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: It makes sense that he did good as a backup
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: because he's not really a backup. He started two years
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in Nebraska. He was a five star.
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And no one's saying he isn't and wasn't. But when
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you have that kind of money, you can pay for
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: backups like that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: They don't have that good of backups in the NFL.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Like we're seeing that in the NFL now, you know.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Cam Little attempted a 70-yarder for Jacksonville and barely missed it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: So close.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: I thought he was going to get it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: He had the distance.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Right at the half.
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: Close game, man.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. We'll get to that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Don't worry.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: That ruined it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, Patriots fan. We'll get to that one. Also
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: on my notes, I do have the Iowa student call
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: from the student radio station whenever they beat Michigan.
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: Hold on.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: Here we go.
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: A defining Iowa moment. Weights in the wings. Can he
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: snatch it? Empty in the backfield. Hits his back foot.
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: Throws to the end zone.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: Back shoulder.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Is he caught?
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: Oh, my God.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: He caught it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. He caught it. Western Michigan and the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: college football world.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Iowa has your back.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: That's funny.
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: That's awesome.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: Great call.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was good.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: That was good. That was good.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: I was wondering why he said Western Michigan. That was good, though.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And then my final note is the Bills uniforms.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Do you like them?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I like the helmets a lot. It was like an
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: extreme close zoom of that Buffalo, but it was only
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the stripe, the red stripe.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: It was really cool.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I like the helmets. I didn't love the uniforms. I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: was indifferent on the uniforms.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Same.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: But I did enjoy the helmets. It felt very Marvel-like,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: like superhero-type helmets. You can't wear them often. Once a year,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that's cool.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Are you?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You hate her?
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: No, I just, I don't know. I thought I'd like
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: them a little bit more, but the more I watch
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: the game, I'm like, I don't think I really like these, actually.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: But doesn't it take a while to get used to
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: seeing a change like that?
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: Yes and no, but I mean, there have been some
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: sweet uniforms this year, and then there's a couple ugly throwbacks,
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: like the Steelers pop in mind, the Bumblebee ones or whatever,
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: but I'm pretty, like, on board with most of the
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: uniforms now in the NFL, but those ones just, I
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: don't know, they just didn't do it for me. Like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: the Broncos uniforms are sweet.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Well, that's also not going to be one that you
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: have to wait for change to like it, because there's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: only one game and it's done.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: That happens, and you're supposed to like it immediately. That's novel.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: That's cool. Then move on. But I liked Packers when
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: they do the Bumble.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: Steelers.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I know I liked the Packers when they do those
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: old school leather helmet ones.
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the Packers are cool.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Their helmets are made to look like leather helmets.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Those are cool.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, those ones are cool, but it was the Steelers.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: I don't even know if they do them anymore.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: The Bumblebee?
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: The Bumblebee?
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: Those are weird.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's my final note that I took, although I
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: did make a note that Eddie is going to start
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: using AI to gamble, just in general, because he's so anti-AI.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Not that he hates it, he just doesn't want to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: waste the time on it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: I'm not against AI. I think it's more of just
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: like when new technology comes out, it's like, I like
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: my phone the way it is.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: I like, you know, that's kind of how I am
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: until it's time.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: To use AI.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: I think this might be my time to use AI.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: This is your reason?
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: I mean, guys, that's amazing. And think about, like, if
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: you ask it for, just give me a 10-game parlay.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Geez.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: 10 games.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Now you're pushing it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Me, I just said, hey, of all the bets in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the NFL, this is on Sunday, what's the one bet
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you would take? And it said, well, I'd go Cincinnati
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: minus three and a half. And they were, if they
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: had a score or a touchdown, they'd end up winning
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the thing. But ifs and buts, right?
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: Always.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But it nailed the three college bets. And I bet
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: all three of them.
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: Florida won the over that I took with you. I
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: was a little nervous in the beginning. It was like 10-0,
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: and then it just like.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: They scored 100 freaking points.
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: They even said take Arkansas under 50, even though it
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: had dropped three points. And I told you guys, I'm
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: going to bet light on this one because I need
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Arkansas to score 50 points. And it was raining. And yeah,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: they easily hit the under.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: It's amazing.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: So there you go, buddy. Now you have a reason
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to use AI.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, dude, I think I'm signing up for it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: I just put in for tonight's game. It says I'd
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: take under... 41.5 rather than laying the points.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Which app are you using?
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: ChatGPT. Is there a better one that you use?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know if there's better or worse. That's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: just not the one I've been using.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: So yours might be better. It might be 4-0. I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: just know I'm staying consistent with mine because when I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: told it, it let me down. It said, sorry, that's
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: on me, man.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: And you got to love that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: He's like a hype man, too.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I said, we didn't hit our bet. And he said,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: brutal way to lose. Burrows strick sack with 53 seconds
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: left while driving for the tying field goal. Steelers 30,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Bengals 27. That's on me.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: That's the best friend you could ever have.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: Eddie would never say that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Never.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: No, Eddie would say, yeah, I bet it too. That's
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: what we lost.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: He'd say water.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that's what you would say.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Water. So, okay. Why don't we do our teams?
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: Are you sure?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll go to the Cowboys first. Eddie, by the way,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the field was fine.
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: After all the belly aching, crying, all the viral videos
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: of people going, look how weak. I never saw a
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: single piece of mud fly up.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Nah. I saw a few people slip. No big deal.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: People slip at Foxborough. It wasn't a big deal.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: What looked a little dangerous was I saw Lamar have
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to jump the screens.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, like the digital screen.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: In soccer, they don't have to run off so aggressively
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: because if you're getting out of bounds and you're running
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: as hard as you can, it's harder to slow down.
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And so, Lamar had to completely jump that thing. It
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: was a little close for football. Eddie, your thoughts on
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys?
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Entertaining game. Definitely fun to watch. I thought we were
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: going to win the game. I loved the lead we
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: took early on. I was like, that's exactly what we
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: need to do.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: But our defense, man, our defense is depleted.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: That goal line stand, I thought, won you guys the game.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: What?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: It won the game?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I thought you won the game when you stopped Derek Henry.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Cowboys victory.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: And defense is back.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: No, I didn't think that.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Too many people were hurt.
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: Dude.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: They were carting guys off like crazy.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: And more people got hurt. I really don't know if
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: we have a team for next week. Like, honestly, I
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: don't know where they're going to pull defensive backs from.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: You guys are playing the Texans next week, huh?
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: We're playing the Texans. So this is what I want
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: to talk about. When something bad happens, you look for
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: the future and like, give me something, a glimmer of hope.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: And here we go. I think we got it. The
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: next six weeks, guys, should be wins.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: The Texans are 0-3. But they're not really an 0-3 team. Yeah.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Because they had to play Buffalo. They had to play Cincinnati.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: They should have won the game.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: They should have won against India. That should have been
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: a win.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So that's why I say they're not a real 0-3.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: If we look at the next six weeks.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Here we go.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Texans.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I think that... we could win five out of these six.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, Texans. All right, Texans. That's the 50%.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: Maybe.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: We'll see how it goes.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Assign a letter to it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I'd love to put a W on that.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So are you?
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Cowboys win that game.
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: After that, the Buccaneers. What are we dealing with?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: They're 0-3 and 1-2. Baker's thumb is, I haven't seen
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: anything this morning.
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: Out for three weeks.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: Three weeks.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: That's why he's going to get an MRI.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: So that means Jaden Daniels is going to be there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: Jalen Daniels.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, not Jaden.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Jalen.
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: From Kansas.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: The Kansas quarterback is going to be their starter.
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: Great.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Welcome to the league, kid. We're going to swallow you up.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: With that defense you don't like.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: With the defense, if anyone shows up.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: So that's a win. W, that's two. That's a win.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Then we got the Packers. I think the Packers, though,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: can win games.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: For sure.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I'd put the L there.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: For sure?
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Yes. I think the Packers are better than the record.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: All right. That may be the 50% one. Okay.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: We've already 50% of the Texans.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: And the Eagles, guys, come on.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're going to lose to the Eagles?
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, please.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: The Eagles aren't the Eagles that we are used to seeing.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: This is a different team. I think we hand it
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: to the Eagles. that's going to be a W for sure.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: We hand the win to the Eagles?
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: No, no, no.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: You have three games out of that five you just
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: listed that you could easily lose.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: We won't, though. Those will be wins.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, who's next?
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: The Cardinals.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, that one you should win.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Put a W on that one. So that's it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Three and three.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: That's it. Three and three.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Three and three.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: We're back.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I say we lose one out of those six. And
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: then we play the 49ers. That's going to hurt.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I bet you lose two, maybe three. Yeah. The Texans...
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the Packers, the Eagles.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I'd be, yeah.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, I forgot. We got the Colts before the Niners.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: That's a W.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: They may be better than we thought.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: The Colts?
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I hope not, because we have our skins on them.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: We have the freaking Cowboys, too, because you yell, how
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: about them Cowboys? And you've got to take them out.
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: I know, yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Kevin, your Patriots got freaking demolished.
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but my Tigers down in Louisiana, man.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Don't start.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: Kevin, don't start.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: You drew from a hat, and now it's your team.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: No, yeah, the Patriots, man, that was brutal. Drake May has,
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's just getting worse.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: That's the crazy part. John Mateer, the same person.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah. And I'm looking at Mac Jones. I don't know
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: if it's the number 10 or again, and I'm just like,
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: what the heck am I watching?
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: You're looking at old Mac Jones.
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Not 49ers.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Not last year, Mac Jones, who had to come into play.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Dominated.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: I'm looking at Matt Patricia, offensive coordinator, Mac Jones.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's bad, man.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: It was really, really frustrating, hard to watch. It's just
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: all around. I don't know if it's the Vrabel offseason stuff,
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: and maybe I can blame him and Diana Rossini.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Rossini's calling the plays?
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: She's listening like the Colts owner maybe.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Who knows?
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: And their team just looks so out of sync. I
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: don't know what they are really. Their offense is boring.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: I know we don't have A.J. Brown, but we have
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: Romeo Dobbs who's literally done like nothing. Drake May is.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: It's the interceptions and the fumbles.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: Fumbles, yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: That are just brutal. The one yesterday where he just
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: literally just dropped.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that just fell out of his hand.
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, as they're driving to possibly take the lead early
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: in the game. All right, cool. Off to a good
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: start here. Let me just drop this real quick. That
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: was weird.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: It did look like he wanted to just be like,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I don't want that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Did you see the John Mateer play in Oklahoma when
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: he did close to the same thing? He went back
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: to throw and it flew out of his hand.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: And there was a thing I saw this morning where
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: the center for the Patriots had blood on his hand
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: that got on the football and I guess Drake May
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: was saying that he had blood on his hand. We
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: need to go throw that. And there's a picture I saw.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: There's like a little blood on his thumb. But I'm like,
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: all right, we can't just.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Wait, so what? Did he curse him?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Or he didn't want to touch it?
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so the blood made it slippery as he was
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: trying to throw it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. What about every other interception?
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: The one in the end zone? Oh, my gosh. Oh,
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: my gosh.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: I feel like they're trying to say like he had
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: the ball and noticed it had blood.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: He's like, ooh, I don't want that.
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: It was hard to watch. I'm very disappointed. Then it
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: doesn't get any easier because we have the Bills this week.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: So we got to play off baseball this week, though, guys.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: We do.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: So how do you feel about your team right now?
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: The Red Sox or the Patriots?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: The Patriots.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: Not great.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: Playoffs?
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: Really not great.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Ah. Don't cry, dude.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Are you okay, Kevin?
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: I'm just trying to think of the AFC. It's just loaded, man.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we're going to sneak into the seventh seed.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Cowboys playoffs?
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, we'll be in there.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: He has no reason to think that. You have a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: reason of last year your team performed well with the
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: same coaching staff, same quarterback. There's at least some logic
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to you thinking that you'll find a way to make
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: it based on history. Eddie has no, absolutely no reason
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to think the Cowboys will make it, and he could
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: have said yes quicker.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: We got a lot of logic.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: I think the schedule is a little easier than we think,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: and then our division is kind of weak.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: There's your logic. I'll see you in the postseason.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: It's wild that the Cowboys are playing next week.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Without a defense?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: No.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: After being in another country.
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Give them some time, right?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Like when you got to fly back 12 hours, you
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: should at least get the Monday night game.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Hey, and I think we were wrong about the time
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: over there. It was not nighttime over there. Because they
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: must be further away. East than we are. And they
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: even said that it was a longer flight for the
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Cowboys than it was for the Ravens, which is crazy.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: How does that work?
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I think South America is just like Brazil. I was
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: in South America. Yeah, but you were like closer to
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: the top.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: You just said South America as in.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: The whole thing. I remember Brazil.
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: It says they're two hours ahead of us right now.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, so one hour more than Eastern.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so they're further east. Which is crazy because it
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: was dark at 3 o'clock.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: So it would be like 5 there.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. I think it's weird they're playing a normal game.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Or at least give them like a Monday night game
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Are you listening to the show?
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: No.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I literally just said that.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: I was thinking of logic behind the Cowboys.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: Sorry, dude.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Let's just repeat everything Bobby says.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So you're going to the playoffs?
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, we'll be there.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're sneaking in.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: You're sneaking in. Hey, Mike, what about Texas?
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: I feel good.
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: Just tough schedule coming up. Oklahoma, Florida, Ole Miss.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma, you should wax them.
• 26:13
  Speaker 11: But Red River's always just a different beast.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I actually agree with that still, though.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I think you guys should run that one. I've watched
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: every Oklahoma game. I thought they'd be better.
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: I did.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I thought they'd be better defensively.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: How are your in-laws taking it?
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I don't ask questions.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: That's a good call.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: They don't ask me questions. When Arkansas sucks. Unless we're
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: in person, we don't text about a loss. But like, hey,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about that?
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: Honestly, though, is it a little, help you as an
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: Arkansas fan for them to struggle a little this year?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: If it were just my wife, I would love it.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: If it's my father-in-law, I'd like for them to win
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: because he really appreciates and enjoys them. If it weren't
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: for him, I wish they'd lose every game because my
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: wife's like, well, of course Billy's going to love the Sooners.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: They win. She says crap like that. But because of
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: my father-in-law, no. Dang. I know.
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: I respect that.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I find no joy in them losing. They got whooped
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: by Georgia. Good God.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Couldn't believe that score.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: That was a bad one.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: So you feel good about Texas, Mike? Yeah, I feel good. Okay.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Let's take a break, and we'll talk to John Talti.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: We'll do some college football with John Talti. from CBS Sports.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Got a great book called Lane Being Lane. Eddie was
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: just asking me for it. You going to tackle that one?
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going to try to read it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: You're going to have like three books. Get the Kenny
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Chesney book over there too.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Right now I have three books that I'm choosing from. Chesney,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: The Alchemist. Don't read The Alchemist.
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: No?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Not right now.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: It's too heavy for me?
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: No.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: You're good.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: It's not too heavy. Just read something that will bring
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you joy.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: That won't bring me joy?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: It could.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Or is it too smart?
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: No, it's definitely not. It's not that at all. The
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Alchemist is a bit of a metaphor.
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: For?
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you about the book.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Spoiler. Yeah.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I think you should read the Lane or the Kenny book.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Okay. Then I'll do Lane.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: If we have it here still. Okay. If not.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: And you read the Lane book in how many days?
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Two and a half, three.
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: Don't compare yourself to him.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: But it's not a comparison because the book is like
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: 400 pages.
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: 400.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, it has pictures though.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Mine didn't.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: The Talti book doesn't have pictures?
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: How many pages?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, look.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: It doesn't have pictures, dude.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: I would think it has pictures of Lane.
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: Is it like a biography?
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't see any pictures, no. Really? Okay. How many
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: pages is... 320.
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: Okay, there you go.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Dang! On one dude?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't 400.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's less than 400.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: So I read that in three days.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Don't compare yourself.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not comparing myself. I just want to see
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: what I'm getting myself into.
• 28:47

  Speaker 1: Joining us today, my sports hero, John Talti. And we're
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: talking college football. He's from CBS Sports. Follow him on Twitter,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: at JTalti. keep up with his work. And he's got
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a great book about Lane Kiffin. I feel like I've
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: talked about that so much, but John, appreciate you. And
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I was reading a little bit about Texas and the
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: words paper tiger have been used. What do you think
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: There's just something that feels off about them, Bobby. So,
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: you know, they're the number one team in the country.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: They've been number one in my playoff projections. They have
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: two of the best, you know, wins in the country,
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: Ohio State and obviously Tennessee this past weekend. But when
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: you watch them, something just feels off. And maybe, again,
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: at the end of the year, we just say, you
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: know what? This is a team that just was resilient.
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: They found ways to win games they shouldn't have. And
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: it's all part of this magical year.
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: Or.
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: We'll get to a point where in a week or two,
• 31:04
  Speaker 9: we think, man, this was building for a couple of
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: weeks now and they were bound to get tripped up
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: the way they might in that game.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: So, you know, you watch them. There's just they do
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: weird stuff.
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: I mean, the penalty, one of them did admittedly make
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: me laugh because I'm a little immature, but a dumb
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: moment in an important time. Um, but just some of
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: the things that did at the end of the game
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: where Tennessee's offense was a mess for a lot of
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: that game had, you know, looked like no business being
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: in it. And yet they have a shot to win
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: at the end, uh, which was kind of unbelievable to watch. So,
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: you know, there's a lot to like if you're a
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: Texas fan, but also I know some of the Texas
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: fans in my life are very nervous as they watch
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: these games feeling like something just feels a little iffy
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: about them.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: You feel like Arch Manning's draft stock is somehow going down.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: And I think, you know, coming in to the season,
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: there were questions about are we going to see the
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: guy who was, you know, Arch Manning at the beginning
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: of last season where he struggled against Ohio State, struggled
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: against UTEP? Or are we going to get the guy
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: who looked pretty good at the end of the year?
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: And it's been a mixed bag so far. And I
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: think what you one of the popular criticisms, which is.
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: I don't personally believe in. I still like Arch. I
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: still think he's a viable draft prospect. But the thing
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: you hear over and over again about him is if
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: his last name was, say, Talty, he would not be
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: viewed as this top 10 draft pick. A lot of
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: it's based on that, of course, famous last name of Manning.
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: And so that I think that narrative is definitely building
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: based off what we've seen. And You look at him
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: against Tennessee, and that is, I think, a very good defense,
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: but he didn't look great. He got bailed out a
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: couple times, made some mistakes. It's just been a bit
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: of an up-and-down year for him so far, and he
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: hasn't quite turned that page to be the guy we
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: thought he was going to be when he initially went
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: to Texas.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: What kind of coach is Sarkeesian? Players coach? Hard-nosed coach?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: You spent some time on him in your book. I'm
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: just wondering your thoughts.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: I mean, he's got some of the Pete Carroll, but probably,
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: you know, some of that Pete Carroll and Nick Saban combo,
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: he's an intense guy. I mean, you can see that, um,
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: on the sidelines, you can see that, um, while you're
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: watching games, I can think back to a famous clip where, uh,
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: I think it was an ESPN person on the sideline
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: who kind of put their hand in front of him, uh,
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: before running out in the field and Sark, uh, just
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: absolutely let him have it. Um, if If your listeners
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: haven't seen that clip, I fully recommend Googling him. It's
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: pretty wild. But he's an intense guy. And I think
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: one of his strengths is the self-belief that he has
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: in his system and what he does.
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: And I would argue.
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: The flip side is that is one of his weaknesses
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: where I think he has been very loyal to some
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: of his assistants, some of which he brought with him
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: from Alabama that have not necessarily paid off the way
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: that you should or they should have. And I think
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: if Arch Manning does not become the guy we think
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: he could have become when he got there, there'll be
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: some real criticism on Sark for his QB development skills
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: and not giving Arch everything he's needed to be as
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: successful as he could be.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I was reading your article, and I bet you talk
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: about possibly fining these players that have, and you could
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: talk about the Desmond Stephens hit or the unsportsmanlike penalty
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: with Colin Simmons. But what do you think about this,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: fining these college kids now?
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: Well, it's already starting to happen on a school-by-school level.
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: And that's even written into some of their contracts. Like,
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: if you miss class, we can fine you $ 250 or.
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: Whatever it might be.
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: And so that's already happening to some extent, but not
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: at the broader, whether it's conference or league, you know,
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: NCAA-wide level. The way you see at the NFL, you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: there was just a fine of a guy– allegedly fake
• 34:54
  Speaker 9: chugging a beer, and he got fined. That has not
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: made its way down to the college level yet, but
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: you could see that being something that happens down the line.
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: And specifically with that hit on Dante Moore, which he
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: has since been suspended, which I think is the.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: Right move by USC.
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: But not only was it a dirty hit and a
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: head-hunting type hit, but the way that he celebrated it
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: afterwards was frankly gross. And there's shots of him on
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: sideline basically laughing about it as Dante Moore still lying
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: on the ground in seemingly a lot of pain and distress.
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: And so that, to me, feels like a situation where
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: the Big Ten would be able to come in and say,
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: all right, we're fining this guy $ 10, 000. And that's what
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: the penalty is for what you did. Now, there's a
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: lot wrapped into that. I don't want to bore your
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: listeners with collective bargaining and all the things that would
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: probably have to come with it. But it does feel
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: like as we become more and more professionalized, Maybe we
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: see some of those things at the NFL, NBA level
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: trickle down to create good behavior and avoid some of
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: the issues we're seeing at the college level.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I did watch most of the Oklahoma-Georgia game because all
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: my family, as much as I'm an Arkansas fan, they're
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: all Oklahoma fans. That was not a pretty game. John
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Mateer had one of the worst performances I've seen of
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: any supposedly good quarterback. What do you think Oklahoma does
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: with him?
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: I'm of the belief they should bench him.
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: Now, I know that's an extreme solution, but, you know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 9: Brent Venables did talk about after the game they considered
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: doing it at halftime. And to me, Mateer just looks
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: broken from a confidence standpoint. And, you know, it just
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: does not feel like he has the confidence to go
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: out there and be successful.
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: And so they've got a bye week here.
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: Either you need to find a way to get this
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: guy back into rhythm and get him back in a
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: place where he feels like when he walks out into
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: the field, he's going to be successful or you need
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: to make a move and, you know, go to a
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: backup and try to get them ready, uh, for what's
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: a really important game coming up against Texas. But I mean, Bobby,
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: I've watched a lot of their games this season. Um,
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: I think he played a role in them losing to Michigan.
• 37:01
  Speaker 9: He played a role in them almost losing to New Mexico.
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: And he had no chance against Georgia. And Oklahoma wasn't
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: going to win that game probably regardless. But his play
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: did not help them in any way. And so, you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: it's hard, especially when these schools know how much they've
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: invested in them. I'd put Texas A & M and
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: Marcel Reed in kind of the same camp. But at
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: a certain point, you can't keep throwing good money after bad.
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: And if this guy's not getting it done, you've got
• 37:29
  Speaker 9: to consider somebody else who might be able to give
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: the team some juice and a lift. And right now,
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: it just does not seem like Mateer is able to
• 37:36
  Speaker 9: do that. And they're going to have to do a
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: lot to try to get him mentally back in it
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: ahead of the rest of their schedule.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Admittedly, through a few weeks, I'd slept a bit on Florida.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: And possibly it was because of just who they had played.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: but they jump from 21 to eight and I watch
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: most of that game and one, they're really good. But
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: how much of that was Ole Miss just being exhausted?
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: I think it's a combination of the two. I mean,
• 38:01
  Speaker 9: I was a huge fan of John Summerall. I thought
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: that was a great hire for Florida. And you listen,
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: we're only through a few weeks, but you know, right now,
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: I don't think Florida fans are particularly sad that that
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: when Kiffin spurred them to go to LSU and they
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: got John Summerall instead, they play hard, they play aggressive.
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: I was very impressed. By what I saw offensively and defensively, obviously,
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: you know, we know kind of what they were able
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: to do in the running game. And that was incredibly
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: successful against Ole Miss. But just across the board, I
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: just liked a lot of what I saw from Florida.
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: And I also was kind of a skeptic coming into
• 38:35
  Speaker 9: that game. So they've made me much more of a believer.
• 38:38
  Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean, Ole Miss, it felt like the
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: kind of the classic trap game where you're coming off
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: of this emotional high of beating Lane Kiffin. They said
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: all the right things about it wasn't their Super Bowl
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: and they're on to the next. But there was a
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: reason Vegas made Florida, I think, a favorite in that game,
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: that it was going to be really hard for Ole
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: Miss to go into the swamp and win. You didn't
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: have Kewon Lacy, which was obviously an impact on what
• 39:00
  Speaker 9: they could do offensively.
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: And then their defense just looked like a mess.
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: So they also have a bye coming up here. I'd
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: be interested to see what Pete Golding does to try
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: to fix that defense because not only is he the
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: head coach, but he's also– The defensive coordinator and the
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: defensive play caller. And that's just a lot for a
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: first time head coach to manage. And so I think
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: just from the outside, I'd like to see him maybe
• 39:23
  Speaker 9: delegate some more of those responsibilities because it didn't look
• 39:26
  Speaker 9: like it's.
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: Really been working super well. Certainly not.
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: Against Florida, but it's something they're going to have to
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: figure out ahead of what's a pretty challenging schedule for
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: Ole Miss the rest of the way.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Where LSU had the big letdown the week before, I mean,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: they pummeled Texas A & M, but A & M
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: just got beat by Kentucky as well. So is LSU
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: that good or is A & M, were they just
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: vastly overrated?
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: A and M looks bad. Um, they look bad in
• 39:51
  Speaker 8: a lot of ways.
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: Um, I mean, Marcel Reed, as I mentioned earlier, like
• 39:55
  Speaker 9: just does not look like the guy right now. Um,
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: they're paying him, you know, multimillion dollars and he is
• 40:00
  Speaker 9: not delivering upon that value. It's not just on him
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: to be clear when you lose the way they did.
• 40:04
  Speaker 9: It's not just on one person, but he does not
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: look capable right now of being able to come anywhere
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: close to meeting kind of the lofty preseason expectations.
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: Not only he had, but, but that program had.
• 40:16
  Speaker 9: So, uh, I was a skeptic of A & M
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: coming into the season just because they lost 10 guys
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: to the NFL. It's a lot to replace. They lost
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: both the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator. And I think
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: you're just seeing it catch up to them this year
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: where nothing's really coming easy for them the way it
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: did a season ago. And here they are now essentially,
• 40:36
  Speaker 9: you know, preseason top 10 team. They're almost already out
• 40:38
  Speaker 9: of the playoff race. And there's some real questions about
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: how do we get this thing back on track? And
• 40:44
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't be surprised if you might see some more
• 40:47
  Speaker 9: coordinator moves at the end of the season, because it
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: just doesn't feel like they are the team that a
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: lot of us really liked a year ago. Flipside LSU
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: looked great.
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: They were getting banged up bad.
• 40:59
  Speaker 9: They've lost some significant players to injuries. Whit Weeks was
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: the big one against A & M. And so that's
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: potentially going to catch up to them at some point,
• 41:07
  Speaker 9: which is unfortunate. But you know, right now, they showed
• 41:11
  Speaker 9: you kind of what they're capable of doing. Blake Baker's
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: defense was terrific, and the offense, when it's rolling, looks good.
• 41:18
  Speaker 9: And even Sam Levitt being banged up and kind of
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: hobbling around still was able to do enough to easily
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: beat A & M and keep LSU in the playoff
• 41:27
  Speaker 9: race as we head toward October.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: I hated to see Alabama just roll over South Carolina
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: just because I like Shane Beamer, like, as a person.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: But now I'm starting to see all the posts on Twitter,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: on Well, who's our next coach? Do we feel like
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: it's over for Beamer at South Carolina?
• 41:43
  Speaker 9: I don't know that it's over, but it is trending
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: that direction is what I would say.
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: He's got two.
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: really important games coming up here. He's got Kentucky and
• 41:53
  Speaker 9: then Florida and then a bye. Losing both of those
• 41:56
  Speaker 9: ahead of a bye, I think would get challenging for Shane.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: We see typically teams, if they're going to make a move,
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: you like to do it in the bye week because
• 42:05
  Speaker 9: it buys you an extra week to transition to whoever
• 42:07
  Speaker 9: the interim head coach might be. So that's one that
• 42:10
  Speaker 9: I think people are starting to talk a little bit
• 42:12
  Speaker 9: more about. I mean, I'm not shocked they lost to Alabama, right?
• 42:16
  Speaker 9: Alabama's a good team. Keelan Russell looks great. But South
• 42:19
  Speaker 9: Carolina just it just feels like it's missing something. And,
• 42:22
  Speaker 9: you know, Bobby, I can think back to you. I
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: was I went to South Carolina last year before their
• 42:26
  Speaker 9: season and there was just so much hope around the program.
• 42:29
  Speaker 9: And with Norris Sellers and Dylan Stewart coming back and
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: they had just missed the playoff the season ago. And
• 42:35
  Speaker 9: it felt like that program was really on an upward
• 42:38
  Speaker 9: trajectory where they were going to be able to compete
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: for a playoff in twenty twenty five. That didn't happen
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: at all. But Shane Beamer was still confident coming into
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: this year. Like we got talent coming back. Our team
• 42:48
  Speaker 9: is going to be better. You know, I think he
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: even guaranteed it. And we just haven't seen that so far.
• 42:53
  Speaker 9: So I like Shane a lot. I think he's a
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: good person. You want people like that to win, but
• 42:58
  Speaker 9: it feels like the walls are closing in on him
• 43:00
  Speaker 9: right now. And, it's getting harder and harder to see
• 43:04
  Speaker 9: how he's going to find a way out of that. Now,
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: if he wins his next two games, it's right back
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: in a good place. But the way Kentucky's playing, the
• 43:12
  Speaker 9: way Florida's playing, those games feel like pretty uphill battles
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: for Beamer. And so all that, plus the Dylan Stewart
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: drama that's brewing around, just feels like the vibes are
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: bad right now in Columbia. And he is a guy
• 43:28
  Speaker 9: who is increasingly on the hot seat nationally of a
• 43:31
  Speaker 9: job that people are really keeping an eye on.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: That clip of Stewart coming off the field and Beamer
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: talking to him, but Stewart just keeps walking and blows
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: him off. That, that, that hurt me a little bit
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: to see.
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: It's tough.
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: And cause like Beamer's a players, players coach, right? I mean, he's,
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: he's a nice guy. He's a likable guy. And so
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: when you have one of your top players disrespect you
• 43:50
  Speaker 9: the way that he did, the outside people are outside opinions.
• 43:53
  Speaker 9: Like has Shane lost the locker room right now? I
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: think he did the right thing, suspending him. I'm sure
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: that was hard for him to do, but I think
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: if you're Beamer and you're trying to hold, you know,
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: hold that rope to not lose your culture and lose
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: your kind of ownership and of the locker room, you
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: had to do something like that. But it's just a
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: bad sign that a guy who people thought potential top
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: 10 NFL draft pick is disrespecting you the way that
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: he did. There's video of him punching Alabama players. He
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: was just out of control in that game. And that's
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: not a good sign for kind of where your program is.
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: And so the fact that Stewart's going to miss the
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: Kentucky game, potentially the Florida game, that does not help
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: South Carolina's chances of winning those games. But I also
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: fully understand and respect Beamer had to do that to
• 44:38
  Speaker 9: try to send a message to his team that that
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: is not acceptable behavior.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Two more football questions and one book question. Penn State
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: lost at home to Wisconsin. So, I mean, it's same team,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: different coach. Where does that leave James Franklin?
• 44:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, I think Franklin is probably looking back and
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: laughing at some of the how things are playing out
• 44:58
  Speaker 9: there that, you know, hey, you guys ran me out
• 45:01
  Speaker 9: of town for losses like this. And yet they're still
• 45:05
  Speaker 9: still happening to you. I mean, that one was a
• 45:07
  Speaker 9: wild one to watch. I will fully admit I did
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: not think Wisconsin was going to win that game coming in.
• 45:14
  Speaker 9: There were so many good games over the weekend, Bobby,
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: that like. You had to kind of prioritize what to watch.
• 45:19
  Speaker 9: And that one was pretty low, I would say, on
• 45:21
  Speaker 9: my list. And at a certain point, it's like, I
• 45:24
  Speaker 9: got to find Peacock to be able to watch the
• 45:26
  Speaker 9: end of this game. But great win for Luke Fickle.
• 45:29
  Speaker 9: We were just talking about hot seat a second ago
• 45:31
  Speaker 9: of Shane Beamer. Fickle entered this season on one of
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: the hottest seats out of anybody in the country. Gets
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: a huge win over Penn State. That's a big deal
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: for him. He's going to have to string together some
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: more wins, but that's a job a lot of people
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: have kind of keyed in on that will be open
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: at the end of the season, including even mentioning some
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: names that would make sense for that job.
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: And Fickle's not giving up.
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: That's a big one for him in hopes of trying
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: to hold on to his job past this season.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Does the SEC come down to Texas and Georgia again?
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: That's a good question. Georgia, yes.
• 46:03
  Speaker 9: Texas, probably. I think that's probably what it is. I mean,
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: those are the teams that I've kind of been the
• 46:10
  Speaker 9: highest on. Georgia was my preseason SEC champion pick. I
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: will stick with that as things stand right now. They've
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: been the most impressive.
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: I think.
• 46:20
  Speaker 9: But Texas, if it's not Texas, could you talk yourself
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: into Florida, maybe Ole Miss, maybe LSU.
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: Maybe Mississippi State?
• 46:30
  Speaker 9: I mean, there's a few teams I think that you
• 46:31
  Speaker 9: can maybe kind of keep in that top group. But
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: if we're going chalk, which I probably would here still,
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: I think it is probably still Texas, Georgia. But I
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: think that there's still some teams hanging around and there's
• 46:44
  Speaker 9: a lot of games still to come where you can
• 46:46
  Speaker 9: see Texas drop in one or two and somebody else steal.
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: In that spot.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you about your book. Have you
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: heard from Lane Kiffin since the book has been published?
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: Yes. Yes, I have. I have not heard from him
• 47:00
  Speaker 8: in about a week, though.
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: So there were quite a few messages the week that
• 47:05
  Speaker 9: it came out. I don't know if he was reading
• 47:08
  Speaker 9: it in real time or someone in his team was
• 47:11
  Speaker 9: because it felt like he was working his way through
• 47:12
  Speaker 9: and texting things. But since they lost to Ole Miss,
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: I have not heard from him.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: What are those messages like? Are they positive, negative?
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't say they're all super positive.
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: There, uh, you know, I think, uh, there are things
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: that he probably disagrees with. Um, and I think one,
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: I don't want to speak for him, obviously. Um, but
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: I think he maybe was hurt by some of the
• 47:40
  Speaker 9: things that people said about him. Um, and I get
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: that and I can understand that. Like if someone wrote
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: a book about me and this guy who I know
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: is like, John's a, you know, not a very nice person,
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: whatever I think, man, that kind of sucks that that
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: person said that about me. Um, so there's some of that,
• 47:54
  Speaker 9: I think. Um, but yeah, There's just also, yeah, I
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: think he did not like some of the things that
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: were included in there. But he also but on the
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: same vein, Bobby, he was also defending some of the behavior.
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: And so like he basically was like, yeah, I still
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: hang out with hot girls.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: Who cares?
• 48:11
  Speaker 9: And it's like, that's fine. I'm not saying there is
• 48:14
  Speaker 9: an issue there. So it was just kind of all
• 48:16
  Speaker 9: over the place.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I can't recommend the book enough to everybody listening
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: or watching, Lane being Lane. John, really appreciate the time.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: As always, you're the guy and we'll talk to you
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: again real soon.
• 48:25

• 49:42
  Speaker 1: A couple of things. One, like we mentioned there, Florida
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: is really good. Eddie, did you watch Florida?
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: I watched Florida.
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: But I mean, really, the whole time I'm watching the game,
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking about what you said. Like, yeah, Ole Miss
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: is coming off a crazy game, a huge high. I mean,
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: that's kind of what I expected because you said that.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: And sure enough, that's what happened. And Florida kind of
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: just put it to them.
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: So and then did you see the mosquitoes on the field?
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: No.
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: No.
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: Guys, I thought it was on my TV at first.
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: I'm like, oh my gosh, get all these mosquitoes off
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: my TV.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't see them.
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: Dude, the field was loaded with mosquitoes. So I'm thinking like,
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: way to go, Florida. That's how you do it. You
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: just bring in a bunch of mosquitoes in there. Nobody
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: wants to play in the swamp.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: I think that the players. On Florida's side, don't either. No,
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: but what if they're used to it? What if the
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: coach is like, nah, we practice in mosquitoes. We get
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: used to mosquitoes. These other teams, nah.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: That's a strategy. They're just itching the whole time.
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: Ow.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Ow, they're putting on cortisone cream over on the side.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Instead of masks in Colorado, they're putting itchy cream on.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: There's a new docuseries coming out about Buffalo Bills fans
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: called Just One Before I Die. It comes out on
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Tubi October 21st.
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: That's going to be good.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: That could have been a Cubs documentary until... 2016 because
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: they didn't win one for from 08 1908 to 2016
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: so over 100 years yeah so I'm not really rooting
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: for Buffalo to win one though you're not nah how
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: come I'm not rooting against them but I would rather
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: other teams win than Buffalo and I'm not a fan
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: of any team really I'd rather the Cowboys win it
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: there you go that'd be hilarious and I have a
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: future right a couple of reasons pays out well I'd
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: rather if I'm taking my bets off the table No bets.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys would be hilarious. Secondly, I think the Chiefs
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: would be fun. Let Mahomes chase the Brady because they're
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: about even in their careers right now where they stand
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: all through.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: Like where he was when he was his age.
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: Got a long way to go.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: He's halfway there.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: So did Brady.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: Relax.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Like to the Chiefs.
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: Win more.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I just like great stories. The Cowboys would be funny.
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: That'd be awesome.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs would be cool.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: What about the Raiders?
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, they're 3-0. I mean, if they can win with
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, that's funny.
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: That'd be awesome.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny.
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: After they just took Mendoza first overall.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: I think only those two teams. I mean, I have
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: bets on Baltimore. Obviously, I bet them as a future.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: But it's fun to see Derrick Henry still be dominant.
• 52:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I know.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: He's awesome.
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: So good.
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: Monster.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Just, yeah. Just a monster. So I know you watched
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: a bunch of football. Did you watch UFC at all?
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: I watched UFC.
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I went back and forth on UFC. Man, I
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: must have seen the worst injury. And I don't even
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: know if it was an injury. I don't even know
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: what to call it. But it was the first time
• 52:34
  Speaker 6: I was watching UFC and got scared for someone thinking like, oh,
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: they're going to die. And it was this Brazilian guy.
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: He's winning the match. It's the last match of the fight.
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: He's winning the match for sure. But, I mean, they're
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: both exhausted. Just kind of going after each other.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: One guy knocks him down. His competitor knocks him down.
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: And when he hits the ground, he starts wrestling back.
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: But like 10 seconds later, just goes unconscious. No choke,
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: no hit, nothing. Just falls, just kind of goes limp.
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: And then the ref's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, like stop
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: the fight. And he just laid there, dude. Laid there
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: for 10 minutes. And they had to get him out
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: in a stretcher. And I'm like, he's dead. And I
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: checked all night. I checked Twitter, nothing. Then the next
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: day I woke up, checked on it. Turns out he's okay.
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: They didn't say exactly what.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: Happened to him.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Sounds like he's not okay.
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, they said that he's moving, he's alert.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean okay, but yeah, it means he's not
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: going to die probably.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: Dude, it was crazy. I thought that he died in
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: the octagon.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: What a move, though, if you could actually pull off
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: the fake. Like you fall, and they go, the guy's like,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: oh my God, and then you come out and start punching.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Like there's a famous punt return. It actually happened to Arkansas.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: We punted it. I believe the guy's from North Texas.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: And he doesn't wave it, but he catches the ball
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: and just starts walking.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: I saw it.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: The punt. Oh, yes. And everyone's like, oh, it must
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: have called fair catch. And then he takes off and
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: scores a touchdown.
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: He never called it.
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, so smart.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: Pretty amazing. So that's what he should have done. Acted
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: like he was passed out.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: And then before they call it, get up and just
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: start whacking.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was crazy.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: This guy paid half a million bucks for a Jackson
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Dart rookie card two days before the injury.
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: That's not good.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: Go get a JJ one.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: It's like buying that Tom Brady final touchdown game. But
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: then he comes back out of retirement.
• 54:21
  Speaker 8: Oh, right.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Because he bought the ball. The guy spent a ton
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: of money, a million bucks or so, on Tom Brady's
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: final touchdown. And then Tom Brady comes out of retirement
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: to play for Tampa Bay and throws more touchdowns.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: So that ball loses all its value. Yeah, that sucks.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: That sucks. How was LSU?
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: Man, the tailgating experience. The people down there are so nice. Like,
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: when you hear Southern hospitality, the people are just the
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: nicest ever.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: But you were dressed as LSU fans.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, so they're just being good to their own.
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: But also, and then my buddy that I went to
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: high school with, he's from there originally, so he has
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: family there that has a good home base, tailgating. I mean,
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: they've got the setup. Good food, kegs.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: What kind of food? What kind of food were we
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: dealing with?
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, we had crawfish mac and cheese.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: Some Southern chicken pasta thing that was phenomenal. And then boudin.
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: Is that what they called?
• 55:15
  Speaker 9: Boudin.
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: Oh, poutine? No, not poutine. That's Canadian.
• 55:18
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: You're talking about the rice balls? Boudin.
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Boudin.
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, boudin.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: There you go, boudin.
• 55:22
  Speaker 7: We had boudin. Oh, that was so good.
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: Gator bites, anything like that?
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: No gator bites, no. We didn't have any gator bites. But, man,
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: the food was unbelievable, drinks. People were great. And then
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: the game, I was like, damn, we haven't even gotten
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: a game yet.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Did you tiger walk it?
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: We did tiger walk it. And then, yeah, we saw
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: Lane come down. He had some former players, like Jarvis
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: Landry was one. Clyde Edwards Hilaire was another one walking
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: with him in the band and then this big old
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: tiger comes around like on a float like a real
• 55:51
  Speaker 7: one but I actually I did see a real the
• 55:54
  Speaker 7: real tiger Mike yeah he was just chilling by the
• 55:57
  Speaker 7: stadium just sleeping in a cage and then so the
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: float tiger came around like I'm talking 20 feet tall
• 56:03
  Speaker 7: and people are in the float and they're throwing beads
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: everywhere and they start throwing beads we're catching bees it
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: was awesome and then the game started And we bought
• 56:14
  Speaker 7: tickets right before the game. At first, we were way
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: up top. And then we bought tickets right before the
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: game that were actually pretty cheap down below.
• 56:20
  Speaker 8: And we're like, okay, cool.
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: So we got those tickets first half, watching the game.
• 56:24
  Speaker 7: It was pretty boring.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so boring. I was at the beginning
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: and I was out.
• 56:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if I was watching at home, I probably would
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: have been out too because it was just boring. Nothing
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: was really happening. And then we're surrounded by a good
• 56:37
  Speaker 7: amount of Texas A & M fans too. So it's
• 56:39
  Speaker 7: like you're not really getting the environment that you want.
• 56:42
  Speaker 7: So at halftime, we go get a drink, and we're like, oh, man,
• 56:44
  Speaker 7: I hope this game picks up because this is pretty
• 56:46
  Speaker 7: rough right now. And then as we walk in, my
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: buddy goes, hey, let's just go down to the field.
• 56:51
  Speaker 7: I'm like, okay, cool.
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: Let's do it.
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: So he's like, just follow me. So we walk down,
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: and nobody's really paying attention, and we just walk down
• 57:00
  Speaker 7: to the bottom of the field. So not on the
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: actual grass, but on the field itself, first row with
• 57:05
  Speaker 7: folded chairs and everything, and we just keep walking and
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: walking until we find four seats that are open. Like,
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: let's just try it right here. So we'd sit down and.
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: We're just like, that's so gutsy, man.
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: We're like, let's just fake it till we make it.
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: Somebody kicks out, whatever. And so we sit down and
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: I'm not kidding. There's a security guard right behind me.
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: And he sat down right next to me and he
• 57:24
  Speaker 7: was like, what's up, man? And I was like, Hey,
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: how you doing? And he's like, I'm all right. Like, man,
• 57:30
  Speaker 7: we're just letting up too many points. You both were
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: wondering if you're going to tell on each other. And
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: I was like, I couldn't tell if he was messing
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: with me or if he just wanted to talk. And
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, it's all right, man. We're only
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: giving up three.
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: Like, it'll be fine.
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: Second half's coming. Here we go, you know? And he's like, yeah,
• 57:47
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: We'll see.
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: Like, I'm a little nervous going into the second half.
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: He's like, all right, thanks, man. I just needed to
• 57:52
  Speaker 7: vent and sit down for a minute. All right, have
• 57:54
  Speaker 7: a good time.
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: Whoa.
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, oh, dang.
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: I was like, all right, you too, man. I'll see
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: you later.
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: Was your heart just racing?
• 58:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: I was like, I can't tell if he's testing me
• 58:02
  Speaker 7: or like what I should say.
• 58:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: I just had a normal conversation because I'm a big fan,
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: of course. And we're just talking about the game. And
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: then we just so happened to sit in the end
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: zone where they scored all three touchdowns in the third quarter.
• 58:14
  Speaker 7: Right in front of us. And they blew them out
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: in the third quarter. The place was going nuts. Colbert
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: and Rouge came on going to the four. So, like,
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: the first half was such a dud. And I was like, dang,
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: I'm going to go out to talk. Like, this place
• 58:24
  Speaker 7: kind of sucks. And the second half just changed everything.
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: It was awesome.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: So, are you a Tiger now?
• 58:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a little Tiger blood in me.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: He has, like, eight teams now.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: So annoying.
• 58:34
  Speaker 7: I can be Arkansas, too, if you want to go
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: to a game.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to be Arkansas.
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: He doesn't need you, Kevin.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to be Arkansas.
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: Like, whoever gives him free merch.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I don't need any more sad people around here.
• 58:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: The Cubs play tomorrow night. They're playing the Padres first round. Okay.
• 58:48
  Speaker 7: Are you nervous?
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Padres have been really good.
• 58:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: And then if we happen to win that, we have
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: to go play the freaking Brewers again. Oof. So dumb.
• 58:57
  Speaker 7: Oh, we got the Yankees.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Playoff baseball starting.

• 59:01
  Speaker 7: the playoffs.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: You're a little nervous for everything, huh?
