• 1:06
  Speaker 1: an interesting situation. Always been kind of a West coast guy, though, Yeah,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you know all the schools. When it came from San
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Jose State, Eddie had to bring up in the interview
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: how they beat us at Arkansas. I wasn't gonna bring
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: it up. I didn't bring it up at Western Kentucky.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It's stupid. It was a big win for him, man,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: one of his biggest win.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: The best part was I told Eddie on the plane
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: when I was doing some prep stuff. I was like, Hey,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: did you know about this? And he's like, no, does
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Bobby know? And I was like, I don't know, Probably
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: he does.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Left it went right over there the next year and.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: He's like, don't tell Bobby.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I'll never bring it up. Give that to me. Well,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: there was a ball behind him to and Eddie spotted
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the ball and was like, hey, so that's coming up
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in a few minutes. I did want to talk about
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: this because I don't know how many of you guys
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: were were doing top shot. Top shot shot was buying
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: those uh like NFT NBA oh oh. I did it
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for a little bit. I did about a year.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I invested two hundred dollars and then cashed out
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: at one night. Oh so you got out out, Yes,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: that's done.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Done. So I was reading a story about them because
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you are buddy Steve lunch boxes. I just remember you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: guys would stay in like buy top Shot look for
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: moments NFTs.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I did see last night where Top
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Shot is now paying if you have one of their
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: one of one moments because people were spending one hundred
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand dollars. Yeah, one hundred and fifty
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars on some of those big ones. They are
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: guaranteeing for every one of those moments. Now twelve cents. Wow,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: bottom what a scam? Bottom down dude?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Why twelve?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a random number sort of lawsuit.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It's now not treated as like a you know, like
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: an investment. It's more like a hobby. Dude. Everybody they
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: got those got got.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean NFTs too, right, Like that was like
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the whole idea of it's just an image and you
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: own that image. Now there are thirty thousand images of that,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: but no, not that one.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You own that one. I never understood it anyway. Okay,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: what I would argue that with is if you own
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a song you wrote, Okay, ten thousand people have it,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: but you actually own it and you can make the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: money off of it, and if you want to resell it,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you could sell it for like somebody sells are publishing.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Sure they're they're selling a song that everybody has, So
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: why would you spend all the money on it? But
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it was it was a picture of say that month
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Scott I was talking about like the n f T s.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But you know those apes, the the the pictures, all
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the apes that were going.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: From like yeah, yeah, yeah, I had one of like
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: dollars dir wait was it Dirk Nvitsky?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I bought like four or five? I want to hear
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: your what you're talking about, But I bought like four
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or five and I never got into it. I got
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: into it for more than you did, as I tend
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to with everything and what's funny, what's up? That makes
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: perfect cannon ball into things? But I bought like a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Dirt Novitski cartoon drawing by like a famous NFT artist,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and I've probably spent like one thousand dollars on it,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and that one you can now get for twelve cents.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And I actually have bought a few
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of them, and I've stored them on open Sea, which
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I believe is like NFT website. I don't know any
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: think about this. I'm gonna be wrong a bit in
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: describing this. I got to offer for one of them yesterday,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and I don't know which one. I need to check.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I dont even my password. What a coincidence? I know.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I need to go into my email and look into
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a second I got to offer. I don't know which one,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: but they're just sitting there. It's like sitting't wear like
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a market Yeah, you know how you can? eBay has
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: like the eBay Vault, and so you can buy something
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and they'll just go to the Eba vault and then
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: whenever you want to sell it, they'll listen and sell
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it for you, and then you get the money. You
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: don't have to sell it right then, and you don't
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have to receive it. He goes to what's considered the vault,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and so it's a bit like that where you buy
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it through them. Then they just hold it basically, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: other people can look at it and they can buy
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it if they want. It's like an open market place,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: marketplace the whole time. But I'll look in a few
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: minutes and that's weird. That's weird that just happened. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I need to see what my value is on these things,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: because I'm sure it's like thirteen cents.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I just I just remember the conversation of like, well,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: what is it? It's nothing, it's an image, But.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: There would be like having an original painting of someone
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: when there's ten thousand.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: As well, but you have the original one that they made. Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: but that would be the original two that was made.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But it's exactly you're talking like all the other you're
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: talking like a grandpa. But it's like, ah, this is
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the same conversation we had two years by the way,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: but it's.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Like starry night. There's ten thousand of those that have
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: been Yeah, but you want the one that van go,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: they don't you? Yeah? Yeah, okay, the one that he did, Yeah,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and the one that he paid. The person that made
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the NFT is a specific person, an artist that made that. Okay.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: So it is different than the hot Shots or whatever
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: we're talking about, Yes, except top Shots except yes, that's
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: just a version of it, okay, because top Shots was
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: just dude, but that's a one of one. It was
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: a one of one of Dak Prescott, like just he
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: was throwing the ball. But but no one, no one
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: else has that picture.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It's not a picture. Live moments so too like three
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: second live moments. Correct, you own the live moment. You
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: own that live moment.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: So like live like of someone you take a picture
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: on the cell phone and it's got the three seconds.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And value is just what it's sold for, right, Yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So for example, baseball cards, football cards, really what are
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they worth a penny? Right? It's just paper. But there
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is an entire culture that has assigned value to certain cards,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and as soon as that collapses, then they're worth nothing
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: because it's only worth what is deemed valuable by the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: people inside that culture. Correct, it's like our money. Yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I do want to get into that whole conversation. I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: think we have talked about this. But twelve cents? Yeah,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: what does that mean then?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: So what does that mean that now when they were
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: spending thousands of dollars on these things and now they're
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: just twelve cents.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of them, there's nothing, They've lost their money?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah do you even sell or you just for twelve cents?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm just not worth people.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Or in your own head are you like, I'm sticking
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: it to the man. I'm keeping this thing right.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm out of here. You buzzed out the conversation buzz No,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I buzzed out it of being on anyway. It was
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: twelve cents, that's all. And you guys used to buy them.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I won't to know how much he spent on them.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: That say, yeah, yeah, I mean I lost ten dollars
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: on it and never bought one. The guy who is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: playing ball basketball and he can never play basketball again
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: because uh Johntay Porter talk out, that's what you had. No,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: thank god, I was switching it up too. He admitted
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Wednesday to the schemed to take himself out of games
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: for gambling sake, pleading guilty to a federal conspiracy crime
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: in the scandal that had already got a banned from
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the league. So basically, he was like, all right, I'm
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: gonna probably play this much. If my over under is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: four rebounds, I'm gonna act hurt early in the game,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: so I can't get that. So then everybody would already
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: everybody make money that knew about it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Now, if your teammate, do you think you have any idea?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It just depends how often he's first of all, he's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: probably suss anyway, right, Like, there are a lot of
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: people in your life who do that kind of crab
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that are already doing other crap like that. Maybe not
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: exactly the same, but sus folks or sus folks, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so I don't think people were surprised. But when he
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: does it a couple of times or a few times,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I think they're probably surprised that he would do something
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: so stupid and lose his entire career. How did he
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: get caught?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I and remember it was draft Kings went to the
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: NBA and was like, hey, I think we had an issue.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Here they were, and then the NBA investigated it. I mean,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: those guys have great because they're like, who the heck
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: is betting on John Porter?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That's what even know that, That's what it was, big
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: bets from John Taylord. He was a role player at best.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, played two minutes of games like that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: He said, I know that what I did was wrong
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: on lawful and I'm deeply sorry. The former Toronto Raptor
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Center said. As he played guilty to conspiracy to commit
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: wire fraud, he admitted of doing it and said his
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: reason was to get to get out from under large
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: gambling debts.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Hey man is chase him and translator they probably hang
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: out a lot.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Porter is free. On twenty and fifty thousands bond, prosecutors
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: estimated a sentence at a range from just on our
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: three and a half years in prison to a little
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: over four years, which WHI means he'll probably do like
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: nine months or something if you do if he does
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: go in. Another thing was the big news was but
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: before we get to coach here that I saw that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: there were a bunch of schools that could possibly go
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: into the Big twelve, which is now Conference three of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the three bigs, I mean, the ACC is probably the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: four for ranking them. It's it's SEC for sure. One
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Big ten now two ACC, three, Big twelve four Ye
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Pack twelve high. We forgot Pack two packed. Yeah, what's weird?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Two is like Big ten to have ten schools anymore?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They should change those names. And they used to change them, right,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the Big twelve used to be the Big ten. Yeah,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like they But that's even confusing. So Big twelve lost
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: two and they gained how many? Well, so here's the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: story is that what they're the SEC apparently turned down
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Florida State and Clemson, which is surprising to me. Those
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: are two real deal schools, two blue blae a program
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: especially for football because Florida State it's okay at basketball
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: sometimes Clemson really doesn't play basketball? Do they they run?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: This year? They were okay? Here, they were okay. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: had them, I had them. Yeah, yeah, and my bet
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: by a team, I guess. I don't think of them
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: as like traditionally in the tournament, Uh, baseball, are you wrong?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: The two money money sports football and then basketball, those
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: are they're real teams. But apparently according to Greg Swain,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: he said that both were turned down by the SEC
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and then the Big ten and the Big twelve is
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: now in pursuit of those two and then four other
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: teams as well.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Boy, so the Big twelve is looking to make a
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: move in Big twenty.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Big five hundred.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Now does it come a competition of like how many
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: teams do you have right.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Measure? It's a measuring contest.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: That's pretty cool though, that the SEC can be it's
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: such an elite club where they're like, we don't need you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: But then they still have Vandy in there, and but Vandy.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Deserves to be in there because Vandy was in when
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the end on't awesome. I know.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: But if we're making all these changes and you want
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to stay an elite, that's true. They're so smart and rich.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And you know they're graduating. So he went on to say,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: but from Vegas, the talk is the SEC has now
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: turned the pair down with new sponsorship. The Big twelve
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: probably won't pay quite what the other two would, but
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: they will pay double what the ACC does. Swim is
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: confident in his prediction and related that the SEC and
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Big ten might not add any new programs for a while.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So the other schools. Do you have ther other schools?
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Because I saw them yesterday. It's like an oh, bless you,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: thank you. NC State, Virginia Tech. I'll talk individually. N
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: C State basketball powerhouse? Who are they a power? I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: think they used to be.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, he just got drafted, just got drafted. You're right,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: they're done.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: They were good this year. I think of the universally, like,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: are they okay? Right?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Basketball? Football, you're not really? And really, when you consider
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: a school coming to a conference, if you're not a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: plus basketball, you better be good at football real quick.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, your burp smells so bad. That's it's not
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, what did you lingering?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like are you just slowly like letting it
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: out right?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And the more you talk, man, it's good that that'll
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: be funny. Okay, go ahead, sorry, inc state their value. Football,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: let's write it with a grade. Football C sure, Basketball
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: B minus.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Fair, Okay, let's go Virginia Tech.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, football B.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Basketball, I mean I don't see sometimes they sometimes
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: they creep in there.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean all these teams sometimes.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Ball school, like I think of them, have it Beamer
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and Mike Vick and yeah, I mean ten years ago
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: this was an a team in football. Yeah, Louisville mm hmmm.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I mean they're difficult because they're you give them c
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: pluses both. Here's the problem. Basketball have been terrible lately, yes,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: but have when I think of them, I still think
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of them because it hasn't been one hundred years that
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: they've been mediocre. They've been really good. I would go
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: basketball be overall last twenty five years, I'm gonna be
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: is that what you're doing past five years? Fair? Life? Oh?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Then yeah, for sure it be?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And then football. Listen, they've had some really good years
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: for sure, but they don't play football. I'm gonna give
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: them a B minus and that's a high grade.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: That's more recently than anything.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, Okay, in Miami, this will be another team. Man,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that's tough. Okay, but Miami is what Texas is, except
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: text has actually got good last year. But it's like,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: is Miami back basketball Final four last year? Yeah? Basketball?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: B minus? But have been good at times lately. But
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go be minus.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so are we doing the twenty five Okay,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: let's call it that then? Oh yeah, I say BB minus.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you mean the start of the last of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: twenty five years? Yeah, the football. I would even say
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: B plus because gosh, just from how legendary the brand is.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Can you guys hear the airplane?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I wonder where they're going?
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah? You do that?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: You do that?
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: You guys.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: There's an app?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Do you know there's an app where you can like
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: take a picture of the planet, tells you exactly where
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: it's going, where it came from.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: If you take a picture of the plane, it's way
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: up there is there something that where it reads the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: tail number even if you can't see another picture. I honestly,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if somebody told me about the app,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I don't have it. Two some looks have a pretty
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: good train system. This is the most add podcast. Yeah yeah, okay, anyway,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the SEC said no, Big ten said no. But the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Big twelve I think that would make them a lot
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: stronger because there are more I won't say blue blood
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: but foundational athletic programs that would be in the conference.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: They need it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They do need it because right now they are in
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: fourth place. But I think if they did this, they
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: would catch the a SEC. Yeah, because they would take
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Florida State, they would take Clemson and then also Miami,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Miami and Virginia Tech. Oh, Georgia Tech is another one.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, gosh, that's tough, dude. Yeah, but I think
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: these programs are programs that we know have won and
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: have a bunch of money. Yeah, it could be good.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're strong programs.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Now, speaking of strong programs, let's go over here. Let's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: say a quick break and we'll go and let's talk
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to Arizona head football coach Brent Brant Red Brennant. All right,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: hold on, coach, we're here right after media days. I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: apologize they're doing right after. But being in the Big Twelve, now, like,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: what's the difference in the Big twelve media as opposed
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to not being in this conference, not even the school,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: but you not being in the conference? Like what's that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: media day like compared to the past that you've been in.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: This one had obviously a lot more fanfare to it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: The venue was incredible. We were at the you know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: on the floor or on the on the field at
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Allegiance Stadium, and you know, there was I was explaining
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: it to one of our players because they had watched
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: all the clips on social media. And when I was
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: sitting on the stage there there's literally like fifty yards
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: of media, you know, not paying attention while I was
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: up there, but like some guys, some guys ask questions.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it was just it was a lot of fun.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: This is extremely well done, kind of the first time
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: for all of us to be together as a conference,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: and so, you know, the Big Twelve definitely put their
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: best foot forward.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of new you're new here, the school is
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: new in the conference. It feels a bit like it
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: could be a culture change just for everyone because again
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you're playing you never played before. Or that the school
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: has really never played before, there's no history. So do
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you have to go and kind of watch tape of
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: every school, Have your scouting department watch tape of every
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: school like baseline before the season starts.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: You always do that, And actually, I got this question yesterday,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: so I'm ready. But the other part that happens is
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: by the time you play your conference opponents, you've already
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: played two, three, four or five games, and so by
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: then you're really basing everything off of what's happening in
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: the twenty twenty four season, especially in the era of
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: transfer portal, rosters are changing over so many different players
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: as part of rosters. We definitely went through the spring
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: and the early summer and did like preliminary scouting reports
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: of our opponents, but the majority of those kind of
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: those schematic decisions will be made based on the guys
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: that are playing this year.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: It feels like when you come in now, because of
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the portal and the option for kids to jump out,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: that you have to move into the house and welcome
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: everybody really quickly to get them to stay quicker than
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: ever before because they can do. You feel that like
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: as soon as you're hired, you have to get here
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and start cultivating relationships immediately.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: That's exactly what we did actually right here in this office.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: My first day I met the team, which was a Tuesday,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: met him at four o'clock. And after that I had
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: a conversation with Noah Flafida and said, hey, why don't
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: you get some of the guys together tomorrow that you
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: think I need to talk to and let's sit down
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: and let's just talk. And so the next day at
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: two o'clock after my press conference, I came in here
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: and there was twenty five kids and we sat here
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: and I sat up there and they just kind of
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: filled the room and they just fired questions at me.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I said, ask whatever you want. And because it was
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: that like, I needed to give them a chance to
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: get to know me. Obviously they know each other, but
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I need to give them a chance to get to
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: know me. Is great. And when we were done talk
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: about two hours. And when we were done, I said,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: have this feel and they're like, this is cool? You
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: know all right? I said, okay, you guys want to
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: do it again tomorrow and they said yeah. So the
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: next day, you know, plus remind us a few players
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: the same group came back and we went through the
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: same thing with a bunch of different questions, and it
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: was that it was absolutely trying to get to know
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: each other as fast as we could.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I like, Day one maybe a lot of questions about
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the scheme, if they want to stay, if it's going
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to make sense, how many cures do you plan on
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: giving the running? Day two is like what color are
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the cleats? I mean, is that kind of how it went?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Like Day two? They wanted to like the cool things.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: No, I would say there was some of that in
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: day one too. The cleat question was the first day,
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: you know, and I told them, yeah, I don't care
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: as long as they're Nike, you know. I said, if
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I care about that, we got much bigger problems, you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: on game day. So, you know, every every head coach
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: is different. Every head coach has their own style, their
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: own philosophy, the stuff they believe in. And I was
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: just trying to give them an idea of what was
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: going to be important to me and what I was
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: going to want to make sure they understood where I
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: was coming from on certain things, and I wanted to
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: hear what they thought, you know, because I think sometimes
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: players don't think they have any say in their program.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: That's not that's not my style. Like I want them
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: to have all to say. You know, I know the
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: buck stops with me, and I get that, but I
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: want them to understand that they have input here and
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: we're going to make decisions together that directly impact our
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: football team.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Noah specifically, obviously crazy baller. As soon as
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you get the job, do you call him even quicker
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: than getting here to make sure that he's committed to staying? Like,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: was there a back channel with him? Do you knew
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: he wanted to stay? What was that process?
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: No, it really wasn't like that. It all happened pretty fast,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: and so I was just trying to get down here
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: and get a chance to get to meet everybody. So
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: on the first day I met everybody briefly. It was
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: pretty quick. And then after the team meeting and the
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: guys broke up and left, I had to go over
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: to HR, and Noah jumped on the back of the
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: golf cart. I was in with my wife and they
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: whisked me into HR and we talked for a minute
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: and she comes in interrupt She's like, Hey, I think
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: you need to sit out and know Fafida, I'm like,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: way to go, babe, you know, like she was on
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: you know, she was on it, and he and I
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: had a great conversation, and that's what. That was the
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: start of the plan to try and get everybody to
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: get together the next two days. He still didn't know.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: I don't think he wasn't sure. You know, he was
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: interviewing me as much as I was trying to get
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: to know him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Coach, I want to talk about the heat a little bit.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: It's serious over here. How does it play a role
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: in how you do practices or how you just work
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in it?
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Well, it's funny, you know, I think the heat, the heat,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: the cold, it doesn't matter. Like those things are one
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: of one deal that allows us, like players, coaches, people
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: to make excuses to not play well or practice hard.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: So I'm always like, yeah, it doesn't matter, Like if
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: you get drafted in Green Bay, are you not going
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: to play? Of course you're going to play right. So
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: for the heat here, like, I actually love it. I'll
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: take the heat over the cold or the heat over
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: the rain any day. So far, it's been good, but
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: we were We've always been a morning practice team, so
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: we'll practice in the morning and we'll be off the
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: field by twelve twelve thirty. Every day in.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Colorado, if you run, are better when you're not in
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Colorado because the elevation. If you work out here in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the heat, do you purposefully spend a little bit of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: time outside to get that it's kind of like bonus
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: hard workout. So when you go somewhere that's a little temperate,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: like your cardio, like you're so much ready, more ready physically,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: or do you stay inside as much as possible.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I think we'll be outside for sure. I think there
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: is a toughness, a mentality component to the heat or
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: the cold or whatever extreme situation you have at your place.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: But we're going to do both. And really a lot
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: of those decisions come down to a staff conversation or
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: a conversation with our strength and conditioning coaches in our
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: training room, you know, like hey, if it's too hot
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: and it's not safe, then we then we go indoors.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That was a very and you can probably look at
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: me until above mediocre slightly above mediocre high school football
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: player on a small level. He didn't agree, but I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: mean to brack, but we didn't get water that was right.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: That was how it was twenty years ago, thirty years ago,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: that was. But water was a treat and we couldn't
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: have water. I remember when Coach built this. He had
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a PBC pipe and he put a water hose into
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: it and put a little hole, little spot. I was like,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: they invented the car. We were like, wow, I guess
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: everybody gets water now how they want to?
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Absolutely we are.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: We were.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: I would say we are aggressive with our hydration because yeah,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: well yeah, I mean obviously it's a health and safety
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: concern for starters baseline, but it's also has a tremendous
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: impact on performance, uh, mentally, physically, all those things.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: So we're you remember that one when like water, Yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: like okay, yeah, yeah, that's the way it was.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the way it was.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't get water unless you earned ye.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: And the other thing is we're sitting here talking. I
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: appreciate you guys giving me the short seat. So I
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: looked so I looked just like so much shorter than
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: you guys. But that was strategic.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Question about a picture in the room, I got a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: couple one. They've already retired your jersey apparently number one
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: right over there. Yeah, no, I haven't even coach the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: game yet, So how did you talking into retiring your jersey?
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: That was the jersey they handed me the day I
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: was hired.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Hiring jersey.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: There's nothing special about that, okay, Yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: And then number two there's a picture and it shows
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: a text message with like I don't remember the number.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It's like one thousand, six and twenty four unopened text messages.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: That must mean something big happened. And you have all
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: these messages and so you screenshot what what is that picture?
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: So it's a it's a something I use with our team.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: And that's that's within like thirty six hours after getting
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: this job, I had that many text messages. And my
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: point of the team is like when something good happens
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: for you, like everybody reaches out, and when something bad happens,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: you know nobody. You don't hear from anybody and their
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: lives as football players. It's like that, you know, make
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: a good play social media, you know five thousand hits,
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: you make a bad play five thousand really bad stuff too,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: And so you know it's a message for them, like
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: just don't give your power away to you know, the
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: social media world. Your telephone that part of it, because
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: it's so fleeting, and really all the matters are the
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: people that are in this building and the people that
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: you love and respect.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I can't believe them have your phone number.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Not anymore, Okay, not anymore.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: It's changed. I've had a couple of really like lucky
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: cool moments, for at one point that I want a
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: reality show. I'm not a reality person, but I want
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: dancing with the stars. And I never danced before in
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: my life, and so it was like that, right, had
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: all the and then I got to the point where
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I just copied and pasted thanks man, thanks man. But
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that's why I saying amand to women, And then they
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: realized it was all did you copy and paste answers
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: back to people or did you just not reply to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: all of them?
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: I'd say six hundred of those have been unread.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Still not Still you don't have You're not a dot guy.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: There's no way on your phone.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: You have read everywhere. Yeah, yeah, everywhere we gotta go.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: There's hope for me. But but if I'm taking time
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: out of my day to respond to those people that
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: much like the people that I need to respond to,
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: I'm already responding to they already know, I've already believe them. Yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: that takes time to.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: A couple of questions about the new rules this year,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the communication inside the helmet. I think that's awesome. They've
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: been doing it on obviously in the NFL levels all
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: around except for where you guys are, how do you
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: feel and have you already started to work on that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: at all?
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we worked on that sum in spring, and I
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: think it's going to be really helpful. I think it'll
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: be interesting. It'll avoid some of the sign stealing, you know,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: nonsense and conversations that happen every year in college football.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: And I think it'll be also good for the players
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: because as they aspire to play on the next level,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: that's going to be a component of their you know,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: of them playing also, so I think it's good for everybody.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Is more of a conversation nonsense or is it stopping
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the actual stein sign stealing because we heard a lot
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: about it last year especially, Was it a bigger topic
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: than it actually is or has it been existing for
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a long time and it should have been a topic already.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I would say it's been going on forever, you know.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: I think everyone's you know in every sport, you know,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: not just specific Like.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: If you can legally steal a signed that's not even stealing.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: It's taking someone left it out on the side of
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the curb. It's like a chair and you pick it
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: up on a Thursday. Legally, if you do that, that's fair, right,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: but if not, if you're using other ways, that is unfair.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that. Yeah, I would agree with that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: But just the natural to like reading signs or picking
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: signs like that's been happening forever.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Are you gonna do signs at all, like backup signs?
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Do you use any pictures of things?
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: We will not.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: You could use my head where that was going, like,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I would love to look on the siline, coach. I've
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: only ever given one school parmation to do this. It's
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Arkansas around from it, and I was like, in basketball
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: they can hold it a big head of me on
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the court when they do this. But I'd let you
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: use my head, Coach, I use big glass. If yeah,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you're in it'd be like dorky dive and that's what
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: it means, is like straight doork dive right up the middle, Coach.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: It'd be perfect rule change. Just talk about another one.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the communication. Are they doing the iPads?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Do you get like eighteen is it eighteen iPads? Sixteen iPads?
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is? Well, somebody would they be walking around
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: going right one, two, three only I think it's sixteen
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: or eighteen iPads or maybe not iPads. It could be tablets, tablets, yeah, generic,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: will somebody be checking to make sure somebody doesn't have
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: nineteen tablets?
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: I think it would be more honor code until someone said, hey,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: they're using too many tablets and.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: The honor code is not good, cause we know that's
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: not good. There's gotta be somebody in charge of the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: tablets a little.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: But like you're responsible for your own sideline, you know,
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: so at the end of the day, like I'm in charge,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: so like I'm not doing that for an extra tablet.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: That's insane. It would be wasted. Like that doesn't make sense.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And that's just to watch quick versions of the game,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: right gay exactly exactly, you're watching the previous series.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Like I think in terms of like learning and making
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: adjustments and understanding what's happening in real time, I think
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: we'll be incredibly valuable.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's also a great rule. And this is
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of rules that I would like to see
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: happy boy here. No, I think because I love how
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the rule changes have finally been implemented. I love the
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: communication and the helmet. Think about this one, coach. Everything's
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the same, but when you score a touchdown, you get
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a chance to kick the extra point if you scored
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the touchdown, but that's worth two So let's say the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: player that scored, the player that scored the touchdown, interesting,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: now gets to kick the extra point if he wants,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and if he makes it, it's worth two points. Thoughts
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: like a good coach it. I think that's awesome because
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: how often is that really going to happen? Not not
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: very often. Like it's like the old school two point conversion.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: They didn't do it a whole lot, but when they did,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: that was not crazy.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: But imagine it would be fun. I think you would have.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: I think some of us would be like, all right,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: if we're going to go for two, let's just call
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: it two point.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Play, that's probably good point to go and think about that.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: I didn't think about that.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Again, I didn't know, man, I didn't think about Oh no, okay, okay,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: fair enough you got another one. I do have another one.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: This one's like legitimate, though, I feel like they should
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: at some point put some sort of digital tracking measurement
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: system in the balls, meaning and the lines. Yeah, why
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: are we waiting? It's humans first, then cameras. But sometimes
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: there are still angles that don't have clearly because there
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: are people on both sides. It's a goal line, goal
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and play and let's check it, but they're alignment on
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: both sides where the camera is. What are your thoughts
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: on that? I agree, Kay, it's easy, all right, I'm
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: one for two right now.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, So are you also a proponent of the automatic
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: strike zone?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely? Yeah. I think if you want to call it
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: into play. Let's say there's a challenge. I'm great. I
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: love challenges up to a limit, and if you're right,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you get to keep going. Like I think that's how
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: are you with the challenges?
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Great? Yeah?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody says that, Yeah it's great.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I think like you have to be
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: strategic with them, you know, And I think like sometimes
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: because it's because the fans are always like challenge and
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: you're like thinking of like the game, like the whole
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: game or this half, you know, situation and you're like,
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: there's there's often times where you're like, it's not worth it,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: or this game is tight, I'm going to need that
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: time out, And so you're talking on the headset. Are
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: you sure?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Are you sure?
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Are you sure? Oh?
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: You're a sure guy? You them accountable?
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: No. No, But there's always like because sometimes guys see it,
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: or they have access to a replay that you don't
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: have on the field.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: But if he says yes coach, or.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah right, I'll go for it. And sometimes I
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: cost you a game.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: He doesn't get water. See, I've got them no water
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: for him the next outside practice. Yes, we're figuring this out.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: We're not into capital punishment yet.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: One more rule change that I think we'll be good for.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: No, no, this is one.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I am not a big fan of players faking injured
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: and then getting back in after one playout. I don't
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: know there are many coaches that would admit their fans
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of it unless they're doing it. But I would also
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: train my players to do it. Let me be honest,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I would. I would train if there's a wide open offense,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, grab your hammy, baby and get back
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: out there. And one to play, and then I would
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: be like, we don't like that. However, I think if
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that happens, if they have to stop the game for
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: any reason injured, they can't come in until the next series.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Thoughts on that, I don't.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Think that's necessarily bad. But I also know in football
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: there are moments where a guy gets you know, turns
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: an ankle or something, and then the time allows him
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: to like kind of catch his breath and he realized
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: he's not as hurt, you know, So I could see
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: it both ways.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know what that means? He likes it?
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, no, no, I do. I actually think, like,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: for the most part, I do think football coaches have integrity.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: I don't think a lot of coaches coach that. I'm
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: sure some do, but I do not believe the majority
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: of them do.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: But if it's not against the rules, I would argue,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: it's not even an integrity thing. It's a strategy thing.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: If we make it against the rules, then it's then
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: an integrity thing. All my players we.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Do, no, but fanning injury is against the rules. If
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: you can like prove it, that's a problem. It's so
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: hard to that's right.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: That's why someone who says I died and came back
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to life. We can't say they didn't. We don't believe them,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: but we can't say they didn't.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, coach, when I talk about your career a little bit,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: you know you were the head coach over at San
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Jose State and U I believe it was not it
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: was twenty nineteen, you guys.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Be the first SEC team as a school. Do you
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: remember that game? Of course I did, Jack like it
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: was the eighties? Coach, Do you remember the game five
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: years ago? But I can.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: I can tell he doesn't remember it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Who did you guys beat?
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: We beat the University of Arkansas?
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: No, I know who it was. That was a terrible game.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Was a terrible game. I didn't want to bring it up. Yeah,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: where's that ball? Look at that? We went to Western
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Kentucky in the same bull crap where it was like
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: on the wall. We had to stop and look at it. Anyway,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Yeah, well it's so cool about that game, Coach.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: That game it was because the previous we had been
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: so we were like in this massive rebuilding and we've
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: been struggling so far. The year before we were one
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: and eleven, and so I think that was Game three
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: and we were one and one going into it, and.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: He can't stand the coach toiled to the birth of
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Arizona right now, coach is to listening to a coach
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to speak. I love it's very eloquent.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so we went, you know, going on the road.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: You know, just the atmosphere playing in a place like that, Yeah,
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: the environment.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Who's your quarterback?
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Our quarterback was Josh Love, who ended up being the
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Mountain West Offensive Player of the year, so he was
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: a good player. But the interesting thing is it's quarterback
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: from Arkansas was Nick Starkle, who after that season transferred
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: and played for US and we won a conference championship.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: That whole game he was like, I'm I thought was awesome. Anyway,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: we're moving on. Good question, Thank you coach. When you
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: come in and as a new guy, does everybody want
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: to know, like what offense are you running with us?
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: And is that going to develop into more of what
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: you have always done?
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: I would say that's not what we did this here.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Lots of coaches are like that. I'm not necessarily like that.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: I am always like, how do we get the ball
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: in our best player's hands and let them make a play,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: whether that's a quarterback or running back or white out
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: or tight end. Like I'm always about adjusting the scheme
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: to the personnel. And so you know, there's been times
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: where we San Jose, we ran the ball excellent. There's
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: times where we threw it as good as anybody. And
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: so it just depends on just what we have that means,
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: and that changes year to year, and it really changes,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: you know, with the transfer portal. But when we came
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: in here, what we did is we tried to adopt
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: a lot of the things that they did here coach
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: fishing them and the players did here before offensively and schematically,
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: and then and then married it to what we did.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: So if it was similar, then we just called it
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: what they called it here last year. So we tried
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: to keep some of the languages saying for the players,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: so we kind of put the onus on the coaches
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: to learn more than the players. And then defensively, because
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: of keeping in coach Keina, we're able to keep that
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: the defensive the same defense in you know, in place.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: So have you fallen? I've been saying your left coach,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I think you fell He's got a wound, right, next
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: to what's going on?
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: So yeah, no, it was fourth of July. I was
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: in San Diego, and uh I kind of got washed
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: up on the rock surfing and uh so I got
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: shredded pretty good. But yeah, it was not as glamorous
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: as it sounds when I say it. It was more
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: like old man and but uh but but the funny
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: part is that it happened all my way out because
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: it's like high tide and then but I didn't know
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: all this happened. So I went out and body served
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: for an hour and I and then I got out
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: and I was bleeding everywhere. So I was just shark
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: bait all over the water. I was just chumming the water.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I had no idea when I got out of the
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: water and everyone's like, oh my god, what happened to you?
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, yeah, I've been in the water
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: for a long time. It is bleeding everywhere.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Final five questions, questions. They are gonna be quicker, coach.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: So one of the cool things about traveling around the
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: country talking to really smart coaches, huge programs, it's like,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: we also get to me a lot of our childhood.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: He rose like, next week we get to go hang
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: out with Steve Young. We're going to Steve Young's house.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Like Steve Young to me was I'm left handed. I'm
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: mentioned I played football back in the day. I'm left handed.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Young was left handed. It's like him and Boomera size
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: and on my two left handed quarterbacks. For you, who
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: was that when you were younger that you looked at
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: as an athlete? That was your favorite athlete.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: When I was young Because I'm a nine Er fan,
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: so I grew up in the Bay Area, so it
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: was Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, and then I ended
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: up being a receiver, and so like Jerry Rice is
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: that guy for me?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: See, hey, Steve Young will tell him, No, I didn't
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: even mention you. No, no, no, no, no no.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: But Steve threw a million touchdown passes. Is Jerry Rice
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: like they were incredible to you?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls for you?
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no question.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But when Joe got hurt and Steve came in,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: it was a tough time.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: It's amazing though, because like how Steve handled that and
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: then continued to have a Hall of Fame career, Like
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: that doesn't happen only the Packers, Like that's just amazing,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Like really far Aaron Rodgers.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: That's about it.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: So rare.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: What about when you got older, was there a player
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that you emulated or thought, okay, he played a little
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: like I play. Was it Jerry Rice?
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: No, because Jerry Rice was good and I was not.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: So yeah, But like you know, whatever position you play,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: you're always looking at the guys that are in the
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: NFL that you think are are you know big time
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: that mcspecial ed McCaffrey. I watched him play in college
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: because he was at Stanford, right, And so he was
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: one of those guys because he was we used to
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: go watch him on Saturdays. That's a good poll that
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: you but yeah, and he and he was incredible and
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: then had a great career in the NFL of the
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Giants and the Denver Broncos.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Right, I want to ask you another pick or four? Left?
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Four left? Okay?
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Four left?
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Another picture over there? I saw you and John Madden.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: What's what's behind that picture?
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: So that was cool. So Coach Madden and Steve MERRIOTCI
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: have a charity botchi ball tournament in the Bay Area
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: every year and then raise money for the Special Olympics.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: And it's an awesome event. And so we would go
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: every year San Jose State Athletics and support it, and
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: so I got to meet coach Madden and I put
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: it up there because I always ask my players, do
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: you know who that is? Like all the pictures up
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: there for just like talking points, because the kids players
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: come in, they're like, what's that? What's that you know?
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: And and I'm like, do you know who that is?
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: And they're like no, And I'm like, you've probably played
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: that game more than any video game in your arsenal
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: and they look at me like that's Madden. Yeah, So yeah,
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: it was.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: You have favorite book a couple, The Magic of Thinking
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Big and The Slide Edge.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: You read those before I got her today, actually both
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: at the same time. Yeah. Yeah, Why though, was like,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: what about that have you taken and translated into what
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you're doing now?
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Kind of the premise of the Slide Edge is it
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: like what you do every single day compounds over time.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: And then the Magic of Thinking Big is the idea
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: that like most of us don't think big enough, we
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: don't dream big enough. We just like kind of get
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: in our way and we're just like, well this is
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: good enough, when actually most of us are capable of
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: much more.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Two questions left. Yeah, I know it's getting down to
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: the nitty gritty hand. We got a culture question in
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: a music question, which want you like next? Coach music,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: give me your mount rushmore a favorite music you're four
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: for your whole life that you would put as if
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: you can on less four artists.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that is rough, tough.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I know what we do with hard hitting.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: All right, Okay, so I'm a you know, my formative
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: years were the nineties, I would say, uh, and so
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: I'm a nineties hip hop guy, So that would be
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: some version of kind of n W A Tupac Snoop,
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: I know, picking up one that said a tough one,
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: it would probably be probably be Snoop and during that
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: time or you know, and that's stuck with me. I
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: got four more, three more, three more. Wow, this is
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: a tough one, Bob Marley, Yes, okay, and trying to think, God,
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: this is a tough question. You have to edit the
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: hell out of it. You get this media days, coach,
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: this is more fun. Exactly there there, I answered the
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: same question five hundred times. Let's see who's on my
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: listening to the most. I would say, like beach Boys'
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Greatest hits and cause I kind of was like a
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: kid with my parents growing up listening to that. And
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: then I would also throw in God Pearl Jam, I
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: love this some kind of.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, Bob Marley, Pearl Jam, Beach Boys.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: This is my dude.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, snoop, snoop, this is my guy. Final question,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: what's been great about the culture here at Arizona? That
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: is new to you? Right, every school has its own culture.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: That one you have to learn. You have to make
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: sure you do it right publicly. What have you had
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: to learn quickly? But also you're like, oh, this is
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: really cool and different to University of Arizona.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: I think the coach, Fishing and staff recruited a bunch
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: of really quality players and quality young men and they
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: are already incredibly connected. And I walked into a really
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: special situation in terms of like the team culture as
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: it fits. It's like big picture here in Tucson, Arizona.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: This for the first time I'm in a place where
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: there's I've never felt a city support of university like
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: this one. Because the city is big, it doesn't feel
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: that way, but there's a million people that live in
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: kind of the greater Tucson area, and like how much
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: the city of Tucson cares about the University of Arizona,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: how much it cares about all our sports programs in
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: the u of A is really special. It's a lot
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: of fun.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Coach. We really appreciate the time you. We like you
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: more now because your musical taste more than any And
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: in conclusion, if you want to use my head for
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: one time for one play, let me know. I okay it, yeah,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: but the rights to it for one game, one play,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: and I think that would be hilarious. I like it,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: Let make sure it's a good one.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: To dorky dive, dorky dive. All right, thanks coach, thank you?
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: All right? Where was Zach from dorm Dudes? We were
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: just talking about my football a second ago. And by
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: the way, if you're not familiar with dorm dudes, if
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: you go to TikTok and you do dorm dudes breaks,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: they break sports memorabili Yeah, and by break, it's like
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: you buy a section. If that section hits, you get it.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: We can tell you about all that later. But we're
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: talking about Miami, and so you guys broke a Miami
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: helmet like a Legends helmet?
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what was on it?
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: So?
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: Ray Lewis and Ed Reid were on there, which was
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: super cool for me because obviously two great defensive players
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: on there together.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: You're a lot younger than us, so to us, we
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: remember that being young. But you didn't remember that at all?
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Right, No, no, just remember them in the NFL, not
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: not on it.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Quite late in the NFL too, Yeah, exactly late in
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: their career. Yeah, that sucks for us. We're getting old,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. So okay, so who else you get?
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Ed Reid, ray Lewis? Who else was on it? If
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: you can remember?
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: I know there was a bunch of people on it.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: And we've pulled so many Miami helmets it's hard for
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: me to say.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: The Miami players. I think of the top of my head.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I think of Shocky, Jeremy Shockey went to Miami. Jason Taylor,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I went to Miami. Okay, here comes Kevin.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Should you look it up?
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: No?
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: No, no, I think he's just like, I'm out of
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: this one. I mean, I don't have a guess awsome. Yeah,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Greg Olsen, Ed Reed, Vince Wilfork, Will Fork, Oh god,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: dang Clinton Portish Sean Taylor wells McGee. You guys already
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: said I think j mcgay is neat Jonathan Willma Greg Yeah,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: that's why I said most of those two oh yeah,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: except like.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: But he but the way he rolled it out, it's
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: pretty smart. N looks real smart man.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: He said. Most people, I said, he knew it. What
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: are you good? Uh? Okay, Yeah. So Miami used to
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: be legendary. Before you knew it, it was legendary. But
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: their fans are annoying because they still think they're legendary.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean that's a lot of fan bases
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: though they do that. It's like the Cowboys, like it's
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: been it's been a bit, and we still think we're legendary.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: I feel like the college teams, it's more they're more
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: we're partial of their team, you know, like Browns fans
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: in the NFL. We used to be good and now
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: everybody's like, yeah, we're not.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: When was that? That never happens in cog Yea. When
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: were they ever going to except for the one year
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Mayfield won a playoff games? Well, nowhere in my life,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: but a lot Jim brown Man, but from the original
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: team that's now the Ravens back back in back, Bernie Kozar.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Back when it was championships not Super Bowls.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I barely remember Bernie Cozar playing back in the day. Yeah,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I just had cards. No chance. You remember Bernie Kzar.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: You know who he is, right, Yeah, taw skinny dude,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: kind of mullet and yeah. I think he was like
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast team for the Browns. Who's your favorite
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: team NFL Browns? Who's your favorite college team?
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Ohio State?
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: For sure? Are you a big college fan or would
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: you be in because I think that part of the country,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: unless you're college football in the Southeast, is worshiped. It's
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: as close as I would compare to like international soccer,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: except it's not like our whole country we're rooting for,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: or we don't go stab people, or we have laws
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to keep people from trampling each other. If trash truck
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: is that the same truck?
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh boy, get ready. If soccer is their fanatics internationally,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: especially like World Cup National if that's in a college
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: football would be like a B minus. It would be
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: the most passionate thing with sports that I think we have,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Like Americans stored college football.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize that until we moved to Tennessee when
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: we were kind of in the heart of the SEC.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: How intense it is and how much it is a
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: part of people's lives. I guess I grew up with
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: it because it's all we had in Arkansas.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good point where you guys actually have pro TEMs.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we do.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Lots of pro teams actually, yeah, lots of pro teams,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: lots of actual lives to live. And so Ohio States
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: just like a clever of what's going on? Do you
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: hate hate Michigan?
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, I definitely. I think that's one of the
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: biggest rivalries ever. So yeah, I can't stand Michigan. But
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: if I had to go college or NFL, I would
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: definitely pick the NFL, just because the fact of I
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: like the lower scoring games.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: And that part of the country is very much NFL
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: E and Northeast very much NFL.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Well in Ohio has was it two NFL teams? Yeah,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: it's pretty big sneeze. That starts smelling like a trash truck.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: We're gonna know, let's do favorite favorite college player of
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: all time? Oh gosh, because that you were not a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: big college guy. No, I wasn't.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: I wasn't, But do you have one. I'll say just
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Ricky Williams because I got to see him run in
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: person as an adult. Yes, yeah, when I was working
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: for news and I was running the camera on the field,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: never really what. They sent me to go do Texas games,
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: and they sent me because one of the guy was
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: sick who usually does it. So I was there on
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: the end zone and it was like, god, dude, it
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: was awesome. It was like he was there on the
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: three yard line and he just plowed through the line
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: and I can hear him grunt. I hurt everyone, grunt,
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: and he just pushed everyone like they weren't even there.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: And I was like, that's so so freaking cool, Kevin,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: who's you favorite college player of all time?
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: Got double mics here?
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Favorite all time is probably and I hate USC, but
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: it's got to be Reggie Bush.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: So again, you're not a You like college football, but
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: you weren't a diehard college football fan.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Not of a certain team though, But you would need
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: to be of a sin because I grew up around them.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: So but again, you would need to be of a
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: certain team to be an extremely religion based college football
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: fan because that's what the religion is. Yeah, so you
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: can love. I love. I love the NFL. I don't
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: have a team, so I can't be like Eddie and
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: you do have a team. It's the Cowboys, dude, Just
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: embrace it. I did bet fifteen hundred dollars the Cowboys,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: which will put me at twenty five thousand dollars. Embrace it, dude,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: that's your team. I was really like teetering, and Eddie's like,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: you can do it. Do the Cowboys?
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: If my dad texts me, he's like, Bobby, really do that?
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Yep, I know it's so stupid.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Favorite college player ever Cardil Jones, for sure. He was wildome. Yeah,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: he was awesome.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: And my reasoning for that is, you know how the
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: coaches always talk about like next man up, and that
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: started out as a third string quarterback.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: And won a national championship.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: So like, come on, how can you.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Not like that? Read? I know you don't like anything
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: like hey read wakem you mildly like a lot of stuff,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: but like you don't like love, love, But who would
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: you say your favorite is probably Darren McFadden.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, legend, because like Cowboy, we were doing all.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: The sports camps at that time and had his fat
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: head and all that stuff.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: So I'd probably say, but don't be what faad you
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: stick on them? Got it? Well, that's rude. Mine's probably
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: because they can't do I'm a debating between two. I
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to say them both because it's not fair
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: because then I get to claim them both. Right.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Probably probably Clint, like you said, Quinn groovy.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Quinn definitely was like when I was tiny young, but
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I wasn't old enough to really I was allowed to
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: go see him play Clint Turner when I it was
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: like when I was seventeen eighteen nineteen, we were like
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: one game away from the National Championship. He had the
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: big fumble the Cossus against Tennessee. We lost the game,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: didn't get to go play in the National Championship. But
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: for me it was Clint Sturner. But yeah, Quinn Groby
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: as a young kid was awesome. Which what year did
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: you storm the field? That would probably be ninety six
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: or so. Matt Jones chunked the ball in the corner,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: jumped on the filmos, brought my leg, dragged my leg
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: across the field. Though there were a couple of times
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: that I stormed but that was the one where I
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have the other one. They just kind of let
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: everybody we beat Alabama once. I even got on the
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: jumbo tron before because I was in the end zone.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: They put the camera on just the random crowd's face
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I was not known at all.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I just got lucky they put me on there, and
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: I probably ran on the for like five seconds before
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: the game was over because on the other side of
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: the field and I was in the other end zone,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen? Yeah, So I ran on. I
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: just want to get a lead, and I did. I
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: got the lead. That was one of the first people
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: to play. It's awesome. It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: over at Dorm Dudes. I wanted JJ Watt jersey and
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I sold it the other day, which we'll have a
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: video of for like all in about close to two
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. That's awesome that I hit from you guys.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: And how much money did you put in to get
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: into Dorm Dudes to that one? Yeah, what was the
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: entry on that eighty bucks or something? That's awesome for
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: like the team, for like the I probably bought a division.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I probably bought like the AFC
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: South or something, right, yeah, probably in a bag. They're
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: doing this thing now where they give away ten thousand
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: dollar tickets inside the bags. Oh that's cool. One hit yesterday.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Really yeah.
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: One of the ten thousand dollars tickets hit yesterday was
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: one in every five hundred jerseys. So some people are
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: going to be very happy when they hit that.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Especially for like thirty bucks. That ticket you can use
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: just you get the money. No, no, it's your Oh
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: it's cash money. Yeah, dude, that's awesome. I've seen two
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: people hit it on dorm. Dudes. That's so freaking cool.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Like one in five hundred bags has a it comes
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: out in a gold bag. My TJ, my JJ. What
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: was in a gold bag? Yeah? Something I haven't seen
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: gold bags. I'm like, I just want two thousand dollars
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: because a ticket fell out, but it was like the
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: authentication ticket, and because it was like a game issue jersey,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: like other tickets were falling out, like legitimately game issued.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: It had us Walter Walter Payton Man of the Year
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: thing on this, and I was like, oh my god,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I want two thousand dollars and I didn't. Basically I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: won two thousand because I went in and sold it.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: And and they're doing college helmets too now right now. Yeah,
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: that's what we're talking about.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: That so freaking cool. I did win the Joe Montana
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. I don't have that yet though, dude, maybe
• 52:20

  Speaker 1: then I have to go, so I have to get off,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: and then I'll go back and look because they put
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: on their Instagram, which is dorm Dude's breaks like all
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: the winners, and I'll go look and be like, come on,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: come on, come on. And they had it up on
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: it one which one was the one where Kuran ripped
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: the shirt off. That was a ticket. Yeah, yeah, that
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars one. So yeah, you guys are killing
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: them inn Well, I appreciate it. Have you get to
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: who's the best sports person you get to meet?
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: Well, when I was younger, I always used to go
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: to a lot of games, and I would get there
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: at like nine in the morning and stand in line
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: to be the first one in the stadium to try
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: and meet the players. I would say the best person
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: I've ever met is probably Russell Wilson. Super cool dude,
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: that's super willing to talk. And this is when he
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: was like really really good with the Seahawks. So even
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: though they become Cleveland, they were playing the Browns.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Oh and he was so he was an NFL player
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: and he's still super nice. Yeah, wait, were you an adult?
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: I was probably fifteen.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: He always seemed like he was nice, like even not
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: not authentic. I don't think I never really got the
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: authentic vibe, but he seemed like he was nice.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Like he was cheesy, butte ever felt like he was
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: in authentic because I didn't know him well.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: To me, when someone's really cheesy, they're just playing it up.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: That's just my theory. But I've never seen Russell Wilson
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: like just.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Mean to someone. Well, I say, many people just mean
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: to someone.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: Well, so I assume like when he met him he
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: was nice to Zach. I don't know, but is it
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: mean to just what I'm not just go to the
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: locker room. I don't think so, No, to just ignore. Yeah,
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: they just keep walking.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: No son Like Zach went up and Russell was by
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: himself and he's like sign this and he's like, no,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: you look idiot. Well, dude.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: One time I was I was at a Rangers game
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: and Josh Hamilton he was walking the dugout and there
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: were a bunch of people like right above the dugout
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: asking for a ball.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Josh, Josh, Goosh, will you sign the ball?
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: Throwing in balls and he stopped signed one ball and
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: then he said throw me another one, and this man
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: threw him the ball.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: He got it. He's like, not you threw it back
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: to the man, a doult Man, and he said the kid,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: that's cool, the kid give me the ball. And the
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: man was just like, oh, well, okay. I was our guy,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Jeff Perlman who came on and told all the stories
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I watch him on TikTok and he was talking about
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: how Josh Hamilton was one of his favorite people to cover.
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: Ever.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: It seems like a wild dude. Well, yeah, no, he
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: was because he was addicted to drugs big time. Yeah.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I mean that makes you wild. Yeah, drugs make you
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: do crazy things. Yeah, he was all covered in tatta.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Then he came back and good run. Yeah yeah, that's
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: when I saw him. When he came back, that's cool,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: and he talked to you or just signed something.
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: He talked a little bit, and it wasn't a whole lot.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: It was just like, hey, thanks for coming to supporting
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: all the way in Cleveland. But you didn't know I
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: was from Ohio, so it wasn't like a four drive
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: or anything.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: But he didn't think you were like a make a
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Wish kid or any No, So you don't think it's rude,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Like when no, they don't even reck, they don't even acknowledge. No,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's rude if they acknowledge and then ignore.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's better to just walk, especially if you
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: have somewhere to be. And I say this from from
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: a very very one percent limited version of this. If
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like doing three or four events back to back,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: I'm doing interviews and someone's like, I will always stop
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: if I can't take every single picture all the time.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: But if there's like a weird adult guy who I
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: know is like because they will bring pamphlets with pictures
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: of me, have like six pictures of me. Yeah, and
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I'll be like I used to even be kind of
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: borderline late to things to stop and sign stuff. But
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: then I'd be like, who, don't make it to like, no,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: just make a generic and then we do this one.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: They flip the page and'd be like, oh, they're signing,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: they're selling this crew. And so when that kind of
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: situation happens, I'll just act like I can't hear them
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: because I feel like it's rude of like, hey, hey,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: you're like, I see you, buddy, I'm not coming over there. Though.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: It's always the douche's that I because I'll never turn
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: out a picture. Yeah. The one time was I was
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: peeing at a journal though, and a got was like, oh,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: that's too much? Can I? And I was like, hey, man,
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna finish ping. I'll meet you right outside. That's
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: a weird one. Can I take a picture while we're
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: what are you waving at?
