• 0:53
  Speaker 3: And I always enjoy getting to hear Commissioner Sankie the
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: opening statement, like the opening address to Media Days. Commissioner
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: SANKI is somebody that I just have like the utmost
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: respect for and trust in that he is like leading
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the league in the right direction. And I'll be honest
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: with you, like in all of college football, I don't
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: know if anybody that I would rather have leading the SEC.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And I know, you know, look, there's some things that
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Sankie does that people from the outside that aren't in.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: The SEC don't love.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: But look, the school that we talk about, the school
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: that we root for, the school that we.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Played for, they're in the Southeastern Conference.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: So I think Commissioner thank you is somebody that in
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: charge is going to do what's best for the SEC.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: So obviously we're on air, so we didn't get.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: A chance to listen to the audio yet have more
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: of a reaction to what he said on tomorrow's show.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: But Commissioner Sanki man is somebody that I think is
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: exactly who you want charge.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, outside the SEC, other parts of the country,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: they they don't really like the SEC.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: No, it's looking at you, Danny Kneal.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: It's for good reason because the SEC is every year
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: top to bottom is the best. And so yeah, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: mean there's no better place to lead it than Greig Sanky.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: So looking forward to hear you know what he said,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: how he feels going into the season, the direction of course,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: anything new on the horizon for the SEC, anything like that.

• 5:13
  Speaker 3: So the fourth quarter coach that you preach all the time,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you really don't care about it because you're not hydrated.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: We got to ask the tough questions around here. Do
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: coaches really care about their players? Six six coaches, I
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: got a question six of them.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I got the question, Oh, this is a big win
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is true, but Jordan Allen
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: inside of the chat says, I.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Don't know if Flynn knows.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: But in twenty nineteen, the Hall of Fame had Flynn's
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: jersey in its own display box.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, that is true.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: That is a big win for you can we uh,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: can we bury dog a picture of this?
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Ye? Why wouldn't anybody let me know?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I feel like, would you have would you have known
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: what they're doing?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: No, but I would have liked you would think if
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: that actually happened, like something would have come across the
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: socials that I would have seen. Yeah, so I don't
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: know if I believe it, somebody proved me wrong.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: That would be sweet, though. Why wouldn't that be a permanent.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Fixture just to be inside the chat?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Not half the league using liquid v We don't say
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the full name here.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: That's not half. I don't even know if they use that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: There's only six teams out of the sixteen that don't
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: use it, so ten are hydrated through my high Florida
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Florida doesn't count either.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got Gatorie Like that doesn't even count.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So really it's it's ten or fifteen and Matt would
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: never allow them to be hydrated, right yeah, uh huh
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: huh for sure. Well, I just I just say that
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: based off you, like in the way that you talk
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: about Florida when we're off the air.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I'd like to I like to act like a tough
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: guy when it comes to that. But if they called,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: you know, we'd probably talk. We probably have. I'd probably
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: get some.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Samples, a couple of pallets of my high you'd say, you, yeah, like.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: A tough guy.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I you know, here with the microphone talking about it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: But you know business is business.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Gonna sell me at you would not be mad at
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: you again.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: LSU, Old Miss, South Carolina and Vanderbilt all here today.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: On day number two, it's Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Day number three Alabama, Florida, Mississippi State and Oklahoma. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: then day four to finish it off. Surprise it didn't
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: at least one more heavy hitter in there. But it's Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: and Texas, A and M today, like right out of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the gates.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Feels like a pretty big thing.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with LSU National Championship aspirations, Old Miss playoff aspirations,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: South Carolina the same, and then Vanderbilt like you were
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: talking about earlier, like the league's better when Vanderbilt is relevant,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: and they are, they're relevant. That like when you beat Alabama,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: when you take Texas to the very end, you take
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: them to the wire, you beat a good Georgia Tech
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: team in a ballgame, a Georgia Tech team that took
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Georgia the game before that to eight overtimes, and then
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: you actually handle that Georgia Tech team who had all
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: their players, Haynes King, all the Jamis and Joe's pretty
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: much were playing in that game. Like when Vanderbilt is
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: this relevant? Like today, I think is the biggest day.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Because I mean you've got star power everywhere.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: I mean you got yeah, you got two guys that
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: are on the top problem and most lists that you
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: see at least in the top five for the Heisman
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: preseason Heisman list and Leonora Sellers and Garrettsmeyer. Of course
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: we'll see Arch tomorrow. Be exciting for that. But yeah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: big day. LSU just leading the way, leading the pack
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: here at SEC media to day as well as they
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: will be leading the way in the SEC this season.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: So yeah, we're starting it out hot right now a lot.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I can't wait to hear what Lane Kiffin says. That's
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: always just must see TV. So hopefully we get some
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: stuff out of these guys. But yeah, like like you said,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Clark Lee has been kind of stalking around here all morning.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I know you're a big, huge fan of Clark Lee
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: what he's done at Vanderbilt. Hopefully they can keep it up.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: And you brought up them handling Georgia Tech last year.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: I mean we are both both you and I are
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: pretty high on Georgia Tech going to this season. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: think they could be a dark horse potentially for a
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: playoff run, an outside playoff run. So we're big fans
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: of them. Haines King what they've done over there. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: to be able to put the feathers in their cap
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Vanderbilt put the feathers in their cap last year, really
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: gives them some solid ground going forward, just you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: not only in confidence level, but on.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: The recruiting trail.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: So excited to see and and sec where everybody's better.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: It's a better league everybody. Every team should be more excited.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: The better everybody can be. And so when you got Vanderbilt,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: who has been the punching bag for so long, you know,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: every now and then they got a guy that comes
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: in and they'll have a pretty decent season. But when
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: you have them coming into a season where it's a game,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: you got a circle and you got to be careful
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: of and be like, all right, this is this is
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: not an automatic victory. This is you know, these guys
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: have the feathers in their cap and they can beat us.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: And they got a quarterback and they got a good
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: head coach and they're going in the right direction that
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: makes the league better. And so that's what we're excited about.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: We want good games every single week. I don't know
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: if everybody does, but we do.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: We do because we're meat heads.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I enjoy it. And like, you're going to play
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: all three teams that are here today. You're gonna play
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Old Miss at in Oxford, You're gonna play South Carolina
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: at home, You're gonna play Vanderbilt in Nashville.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Those are gonna be you know, difficult games.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And again, like the theme for me this week is
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the teams that are typically over the last couple of
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: years at the top. So we look, I mean almost
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: won a lot of games, right, they hadn't gotten there
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and else she's still had success against them, but they've
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: won a lot of games. Okay, So you take a
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: look at Old Miss, you look at Georgia. Tennessee makes
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: a college football playoff. Last year, Texas makes the playoff
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: the last two years Alabama's Alabama UH look, you could
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: even throw you know, some other schools in there, you know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: maybe maybe Texas, A and M. But you take a
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: look at some of the top ones, like certainly the Georgia's,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the Alabama's and those Titan Texas.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: They don't know what they are quarterback now.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: They think they have an idea Archie many think they
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: have an idea, but he's played three games. Alabama doesn't
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: really know what ty Simpson's going to be able to
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: get it. He's not here, which I think is big.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: George has only seen gunnerstock in half of an SEC
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: championship game and then a bowl game against another Dame.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: He did some nice things, but he looked like a
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: young quarterback that just got thrown in there exactly.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: So they were lied.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: They were able to throw the change up up and
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: use his little bit different skill set to create some
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: big plays, but we hadn't seen him have to go
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: and dice somebody up and game plan have some people
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: game plan on him for very many games. So it's
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: a it's a huge question mark for them from the
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: perennial powerhouse that they are to go in there with
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: a question mark at quarterback is certainly a little bit
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: different for them.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: All right, we will step away, going to continue our
• 11:59

  Speaker 6: talked years ago when he was coming out. I mean
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: you wouldn't remember because you talked flipping probably three hundred scouts,
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: you know, during the time when you were getting you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: coming out, and then met you two down to the
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Senior Bowl years back.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: So yeah, this is good for me too. I'm seeing
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: a lot of familiar faces. I just saw Mitch Bardhardt,
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: I mean the guys, he's been radio on TV for
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: sixty years almost.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean so college football told you college football,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah, well, Drew. So one of the things
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: that that I've talked about with the Senior.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Ball so many times when I've you know, just had
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the experience in going there, was what it did for
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: me in my career. So for me, I was going
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: from playing tailback at LSU to having to show that
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I could play a different position in the NFL. Like
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I knew that I could have a chance to do
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: some tailback stuff, but I knew my life was going
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: to be as a fullback, and the only way that
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I had the opportunity to prove that was to go
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: down to Mobile and compete and switch positions and get
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: into three point stance once again. And so like, the
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: opportunity that game gave me got me drafted in the
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: third round because they had to see it. And so like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: that's one of the things I love about the Senior Bowl.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: It's just competition and competing and the best of the best,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: and you get an opportunity to go show, like in pads,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: not the underwear, in pads, what you can do on
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: a football field.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Well, the keyword you said, best against the best. Yeah,
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: And I think that really really important, especially when you're
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: you know, working in personnel with the NFL. You know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: I go back all the way to Parcels when he
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: came in, you know, be like, Okay, we're watching this
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: left tackle. He go, Hey, who's the best guy he
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: lined up against? Well, some guys don't really play against
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: anybody real until they go down to the Senior Bowl.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, just depending on where you're going, where you've been,
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, God bless one double A what
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: is it? FCS? Now, you know, it's hard for those
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: guys to actually show that they can compete at that
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: level unless they come down to the Senior Bowl. And
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: it is the first piece of the draft process. And
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: like you said, it's not the underwear Olympics, it's it's
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: real ball, you know, And I think that's the most
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: important part playing in the game. And we kind of
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: talked about this. I think the last time one on
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: one pass rush, defensive drill, ninety percent of the time,
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: defense should win, you know, one on one receivers you
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: know DB's receiver, I would win ninety percent of the time, right, yep,
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: it's almost on air. I mean really, so let's get
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: into a game and then show that you can play.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: I mean, you got your teammate, Philip Rivers didn't have
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: a great week. He was the MVP of the Senior Bowl.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: I mean that helped him propel his career. You did too,
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: I mean because again, hey, what's he playing. You know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: he's not an eyeback go be, you know, is he
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: really going to be a fullback? It's like Michael Robinson,
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: same thing.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Right, you know, he played what quarterbacks quarterbacks.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: Then yeah, so I think you're correct. And again I
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: try to voice this to agents. I try to voice
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: this to players that you know, playing against the best
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: is huge for your evaluation process. Huge.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: And the kid last year, the Zabel kid from North
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Dakota State had a great week yep, right, and league
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: talk and we talked to all those guys, you know,
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: throughout the year he was like a high third, right,
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: he goes eighteen. Well, that ended up being twelve point
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: seven million dollars difference in a four year contract. So
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: tell me it wasn't worth his time to come down
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: and finish the practices and play in the game. I'm like,
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: let's get real. He yeah, I mean twelve point seven Yeah.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: That's that's a why.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, if that's not a recruiting message video for
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: why people should go to the senior ball, then you know,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know what is. And so you talked about
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: you bring up the best of the best, and so
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: this is going to be your first year there. But
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: somebody with the experience in scouting and picking the guys,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: finding guys at different size school, how what is your
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: process of finding the best of the best and narrowing
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: it down, and then how as the season progresses, just
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: how does that list start dwindling down where you choose
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: your guys?
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, Mat, it's no different than how you
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: break it down when you're going out in the NFL.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: I mean you start with a you know, a database
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: of maybe twenty two hundred players and just start whittling
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: it down saying is he good enough, is he going
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: to be draftable? Does he have a spot? Is he
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: high enough in the stack to actually bring him in?
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: And then you have to look at, Hey, some of
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: those guys may not take the invite. So instead of
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: having you know, twelve receivers that you're looking at, you
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: may have eighteen. And again that process we kind of
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: talked about a little bit last night. We're not going
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: to put out a watch list of eight hundred and
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: nine hundred players. We're not because again, feel like that
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: this is a prestigious, premier All Star game, you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: in the entire country. Well let's treat it that way. Yeah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: and let's try to take the best players that we
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: can possibly find. And again we have scouting assistants. I
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: mean I look at tape, you know, Jack Gilmour watches tape.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: I mean we kind of you know, go through that
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: throughout the year. As soon as that first board's done,
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: you know, as soon as that game's over with, we're
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: starting on the next one. Yeah, And we're already starting
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: to build it. And when I got there, i'd say
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: May fifteenth, threat around in there, I'll bet you was
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: halfway built already. And now we just completed it last week.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: And now we're still talking about some of the juniors
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: that we may put on there that are kind of
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: gut cinches that they are going to come out. And
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: I don't want to offend coaches, but you know, I
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: think they know it too, because they're bringing some juniors
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: to this also.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: So I don't know if I answered every bit of
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: that question, Matt, but I tried to kind of hit
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: on all points.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Also, a new title sponsor Senior Bowl, and pretty far
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: we're big car guy.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Our listeners know.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: So our show is off the bench and we create
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: we have like a card deal that we're doing off
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: the break. I mean we are like in it, uh
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: were we might dabble in in card games.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: We'll just have that.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: So we were excited when we saw the new sponsorships
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: kind of tell us how did that sponsorship develop and
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: what kind of benefits you see?
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, they were already a practice you know
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: sponsor over the last I think three years. And the
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: one piece about you know that is I think they
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: started to see value in they had a Panini night
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: and those guys went absolutely nuts when they got their
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: trading card and I was like wow, I said, this
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: is awesome. And then they got so much exposure just
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: on social for that.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Plus you know, the practice sponsorships of even like the dummies,
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know they you know, they had their
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: you know, branding on there, you know. But I think
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: most of it came from how they saw that the
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: value had increased so much just with that little piece. Now,
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: the title sponsors they actually sought and it wasn't like
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: we said, Okay, well you know this doesn't really fit. Hell,
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: yes it fits because it's sports related. It's it's personal
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: to people.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, for God's sakes, I would love to have
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: a trading card, you know when I was playing. I
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: mean now these guys, I mean are going to be
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: able to expose their brand even farther with Panini. And
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: I think Panini's going to actually push for all of
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: their clients to be playing in the game to increase
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: their brand too. So I think it's a win win
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: situation for everybody, and I think that we can make
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: it a benefit for everybody. And I think it's a
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: tool because again, what are they about now? They're about
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: the brand, So let's show them another way to expose
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: their brand.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: One of the other cool things about the Senior Bowl
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: and Matt you'll get to experience this this year. When
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: you go to Mobile in that time, you know you're
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: there for that, you know you're there for the Senior Ball,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: and the city embraces everybody that's in there.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: I hate going to things and it's like, oh, there
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: happens to be an event in a city and nobody
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: really knows that you're there for that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: But when you go to Mobile in that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Time and the city does a nice job and the
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: people of the city like they embrace everybody, welcome everybody
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: and makes it feel like home because we're gone, we're
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: there for a week, right, and they make it feel
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: like home. And it's one of the charms I think
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: of the Senior Bowl.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't even know if you guys know this,
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: I didn't before I came. You know, one down there
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: there's over three hundred right paid volunteers, they paid to
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: be volunteers.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Yes, their committee and there's committees set up in like
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: sixteen different areas, whether it's security, whether it's the mascot piece,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: the fan fest, and they, like you said, they take
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: great pride in it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: I mean there's you know, the parade on Friday, there's
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: a concert on you know Friday night. I mean, there's
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: a Panini night on you know Wednesday, I mean Thursday.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: We've got you know, the top golf deal with all
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: the awards and everything else. But you know, fast forward
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: like what you guys are talking about. Heck, in May,
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: we had the Hall of Fame, right, the Hall of
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: Fame induction. We had the charity golf tournament the next day.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, we had the draft party. In April, you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: we have we had a leadership you know piece with
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: the with m PAP and it was all the mobile
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: in Baldwin County, you know, high school kids. All the
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: coaches got to send one of their players to a
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: leadership conference. And then then we got Turkey Bowl. We
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: got flag football. I mean, the community takes this or
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: runs with him. And here's the other thing. And I'll
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: tell you guys this because I don't know how many
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: other quote All Star games you've seen, but this is
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: the only game that sells out.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not even close.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: You watch any of the other All Star games, there's
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: nobody in the stands, right, you know. So that ought
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: to tell you how important it is to these people,
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: and that they showed me how important it was because
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: of these other pieces that they got involved in civically.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and speaking with you last night, I was
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: I was surprised to just hear you talk about full
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: time move to mobile and just the twelve months out
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: of the year. Yeah, there is work to be done
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: and things to be done just throughout the community. Different
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: sponsorship than fundraisers that y'all are doing throughout the year
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: for the Senior Ball. But when you look at just
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: the game in the week itself, tell me something with
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: your first year, what are your goals on, what's it
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: gonna look, what's gonna be different about the game? The
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: practice is everything leading up that you're going to be implementing.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we kind of visited about this a little bit.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: I'll give everybody the background of it. Well, the Senior
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: Bowl used to be the unofficial NFL coaches kind of convention. Yeah,
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: because they don't have any place to network. Well, once
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: they started doing formal interviews at night, Well those coaches says, nah,
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: I really don't want to go, and all I get
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: to do is watch them practice and then have to
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: interview all night. And I never get to network with
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: any of my guys, never get to see anybody, never
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: try to get a better job. Well, you know that's important, right, Well,
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: it's also important. The biggest thing to me was taking
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: that off the players and put it in the morning
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: to where they have some time in the evening because
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know about them. But when I went seven
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: o'clock to almost ten o'clock straight through and talking to
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: player after player after player after player, I was beat down,
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: and I know they had to be.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: We were.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: So now the evening's gonna be free for the players,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: it's going to be free for the coaches, it's gonna
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: be free for the personnel. We're going to knock it
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: out in the morning and then we're gonna push practice back.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: You know, about forty five minutes per Well, what it
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: does is that second practice one end until six o'clock. Well,
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: that gives the community, and it gives dads and the
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: time to bring their kids. Mom and dads, sorry about that,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: mom's dad to bring their child out there to practice
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: and into world. They'll actually be able to see it,
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: because before it would end at four point thirty and
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: it was like by the time they got there, it
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: was like there goes the horn, We're done, and they
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: didn't get to see those guys practice because not everybody
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: can go to the game, you know, because the schedules.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: So the biggest piece is that I'm changing the entire
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: schedule of the week, and I'm doing it to try
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: to improve the experience first for the players, then for
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: the coaches, then for the personnel, you know. And it
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: actually benefits community because now they're going to be outspending
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: money in the community. So that's the other piece of it.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: But yeah, thanks for risk about that, Milcaus. Matt and
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: I've kept talking about that a little bit last night.
• 26:20

• 29:48
  Speaker 4: we got here, and it was the tables here for
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: the press conferences. They were all at standing height. Yeah,
• 29:55

  Speaker 4: Yep, we got it. It's yeah. Football is about this
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: big end zones are out there. We're gonna try to
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: score that end zone. Hey you over there.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know he's talking about nuts probably, Yeah, a
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: lot of hand motions going on down there. It is
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: l s U, old Miss South Carolina and Vanderbilt here
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: today right now. Brian Kelly getting kind of things started
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: for the co which is will be Leane Kiffin, then
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Shane Biemer, then Clark Lee, and Clark Lee has been
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: making the rounds already.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: He said, he's been here since six am.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: He didn't sit down with us, but he's been stalking
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: the tables.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which like Clark, what are we doing? Like you're
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: a fullback, Like we stick together, like you're my guy.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: He didn't see me.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: He's probably because there's a quarterback here now. I think
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: I'm soft.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: He really is.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Like we were playing Vanderbilt, you know, l C Vanderbilt
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: in Tiger Stadium this year, and I, you know, walked over.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I was like, Sam, what's up to him?
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: And we sat and we talked run scheme and like
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: two back blocking schemes for twenty minutes before the start
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: of that game.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I guess I'll let you go. I gotta
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: go get up in the booth and you gotta.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: I gotta get off to you, coach.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you got going on today, but
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: I can't talk.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I was eating it all up there because we were
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: talking about how now, because everybody kind of plays basketball
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: on grass like a little seven on seven feel and
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: throwing the football around. He was talking about, Hey, when
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: you play a team that has either you know, an
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: f be at a tight end or like a fullback,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: He's like, ours is an AF It's not a fullback.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: But he's like, linebackers.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Don't know how to take on two back runs anymore.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Safeties don't know how to take on two I'm like,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: in my mind, I'm like, that's crazy what we talk me.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: He's like, think about it. They never see it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: He's like, so like the linebackers that you and I
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: played against, that's all they knew. They knew how to
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: take on a blocker, stay in their gap, and also
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: shed and make a play. He's like, you run a
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: fullback at a linebacker right now, like he's in a buye.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: He didn't know really what to do. He's so used
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: to having all this space. And I'm like, that's that's
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: a great point. I think about it. Michigan, how they
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: won the national championship. One of their best players, Max
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Breedlove or Bretiston, sorry, is a fullback. And you look
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: at Ohio State and they had to fit they but
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: theirs was more twelve personnel, wasn't twenty one. But I
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: don't know, is it coming back? Is it in vogue?
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Well, that's I mean, there's so many ebbs and flows
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: in football schematics. I mean, you look at the professional level.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: We broke this down the other day about the best
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: offenses in the NFL are doing a lot of under center,
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: which for a while was you know, the majority of
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: teams were like, at least a really good offen. This
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: high percentage was a shotgun, and a lot of the
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: best offenses are getting more towards that fifty to fifty split.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: Why is that?
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Because that why have we started to see the running
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: back come back, the importance of it, running backs getting
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: paid a little bit more at the next level because
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: forever general managers scouts they had to start, you know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: trying to beat what was prevalent. How do we beat
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: these spread offenses? How do we breathe these run first offenses?
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Quarterbacks that can get out of the pocket do different things.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: You have to you have to get a little bit
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: thinner at defensive line. You got to get faster, you
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: got to get speed. But when you start, you know,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: when you start implementing that from a personnel standpoint, implementing
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: that game plan, offenses.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Are all right, they're stopping us. What can we do differently?
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, well we can get under the center and hit
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: them in the mouth, because these guys are not built
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: to do that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: So that running back position.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: The prevalence of that is going to come, and you're
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: going to see it more and more over the next
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: the next couple of years, running backs getting a little
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: bit bigger contracts, running backs in the discussion for potentially
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: in discussion for MVPs, things like that, because offenses shift
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: and then the defense will catch up and shift.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: Then it'll go back and.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: It'll just be a it'll be a roller coaster up
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: and down of how people are drafting, how they're building
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: their defensive line and linebacker and so it's so interesting
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: to see and I would see that in college football.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: It's going to start in the next couple of years.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: You know, there's there's offenses. You got quarterbacks that have
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: never taken a snap on the center, like from high
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: school on. You're gonna start seeing that change. I believe
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: that's my kind of prediction over the next two three
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: four years in college football of them following that NFL
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: blueprint of all right, let's get back under center and
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: changing our offense and doing a lot of what Clark
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Clark Lee was just saying linebackers they don't know how
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: to take on at fullback. They don't know like which
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: shoulder to hit, how to shed, how to how to
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: make a make a lead block of glancing blow and
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: then stay in your gap. Right, So those are things
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: that I think will change and hopefully the slap count
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: goes away.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: But yeah, football is just so excited.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: You love the worst. I should have asked slap too though?
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Has that everybody ever drawn anybody off side?
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: Maybe? I don't know. The answer is no answers. The
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: answer is it's dumb.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Like My favorite thing Gruden does is make fun of
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: people that do the clap count.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: His video was so good a couple of weeks ago.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: He did it too. He puts, I can't remember the
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: put it with Jackson Dard a little bit because that
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: is not going to be what you do at the
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: next level, sir, not gonna you actually use your mouth
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: say words.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: There.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: You can use things that can draw the other two
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: outsides and a clap does.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: There's so many that y'all had to say, like at
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: the next level, Like we get to a lot of
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: scrimmage because a lot of times there would be two plays,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: like even if it wasn't a kill situation, like there'd
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: still be like, hey, we know this play can turn
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: into that play, and I got to change everything at
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage and we got to bark so
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: many dummy calls as well.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: You and I have talked about this, but.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: How omahall when we were with the Broncos, it initially
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: was the next sound that I make after the omahall's
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: snapped the ball right. Well, then people got that, and
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: then it every week it was literally like omahol, this
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: week is going to mean this, and you had to
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: like remember this week what the omahall meant?
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, it's uh And you trained for that. And
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: you know, offense has always had they advantage because you
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: know what, we know what we're doing, we know what
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: the snapcount of defense doesn't of course, And I remember
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: ours in Green Bay was different types of snakes, so
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: like snake in the grass, so cobra or python or
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: sweet we could make the noise too, or like the
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: hand signal like a little snakehead or whatever. We knew that
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: was the dummy call. That was a cobra, so it'd
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: be like he could be like cobra cobra, like walking
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: to the line of scrimmage of the lineman.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: But then like get to the line of scrimmage.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: And be like, all right, it's like, you know, one
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: of the offensive linem acts like he doesn't know what
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: the snapcount is.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: And Aaron's like, it's a one, dummy, it's on one.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: But they knew that he hissed at him on the
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: way out of it. So everybody, of course it's on two.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers hissing at his offensive lineman.
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: Wait what it meant exactly?
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: So yeah, he was always the king still as the
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: king of like drawing people off sides. And it was
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: a little We practiced it all the time. We practice
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: it so much. And I'd like to see the stats
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: on touchdowns thrown from Aaron Rodgers, on off side penalties,
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: on dead plays. I know, I got a couple, just
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: a little free play, little free play, cal vanden Bosch.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: All right, Calvan.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: I was about to say, still know if I would
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: like put his name on something, just in case he
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: might be listening. He was one of the ones that
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: was thrown off enough where he might still like have
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: a list like Billy Madison.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Said he would wear.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: He would wear red eye contacts or wide out contacts
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: and just for intimidation, but he did jump off side
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: when I threw a touchdown to Jordy Nelson and he
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: came across.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: I got the pass off.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: But he hit that crease with his elbow in between
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: my shoulder pads and my helmet like on my neck,
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: and it was one of those like my whole body
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: just like crumbled and I like just crumpled to the
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: ground like an accordion.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, Hey, one of Elshu's

• 42:46
  Speaker 4: of Dwight D. Eisenhower for sure, back in the corner.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know why he would be there though. So
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: and to the left of us, we have the current champions.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: We have a Ohio state jersey and helmet with a
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: champions on it, number one on the jersey. So I'm
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: assuming that's just the current reigning champs are there. And
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: I'd like to I'd like to hear, like how often
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: the the Hall of Fame changes what's going on? And
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: here we had some of the huddle actually say there
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: might have been a Flint jersey up here at one point.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: We're trying to get photo proof, We're trying to get
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: some evidence. Jake was bragging that his jersey was up
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: here at some point with maybe somebody else's name on it.
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: What kind of brings up a question, Yeah about eighteen? Sure,
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: what about it? What do we think this season?
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Who would I like for it to be? If I
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: get to pick on offensive defense? Yeah, wit weeks on defense? Uh?
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: It hasn't been on a quarterback, yeah since the first Yeah,
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: so for like the first time it was Matt Mock
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: and then it's been every other position, including offensive line.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: There's there's been corners and choice. There's been Lloyd Cushion
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Berry was an offensive lineman. We've had Benny Logan as
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: a defensive lineman. We've had a slew of running backs,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: including last year. Look, do you have an opportunity? I
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: wore thirteen in high school too. It's a little it's
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: two marks on the three to make it an eight.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. Look, that's like the ultimate.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, this is our guy. He's going to ride with it.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: We're changing his number. He's already made a number change
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: in college. It's not that big of a deal. Put
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: eighteen on us miner.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the and I agree with you if he wants
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: to wear it, not that I like. I think eighteen
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: is a cool number. Like I'm you know, I've always
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: been against it. Obviously, who was fifteen? The cool people? Okay,
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: I want to know has anybody turned it down? I'm
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: sure there has been because some people like have their numbers,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: their their number is a lot of times numbers are
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: very personal to a person, for sure. Sure that's there
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: for a reason, man, life, you know what right? I mean,
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: that's you know, it's a personal thing. So you've played
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: and had success for three or four years under a
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: certain number. You definitely don't always, but I know eighteen
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: holds this lore.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know if there's I'm trying to think. The
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: only one I can remember was Devin White. Devin White
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: like he wanted to wear forty. That might be the
• 45:23
