• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It's a podcast call twenty five whist and they were
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a whist So, yeah, it's too bad, But what did
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you expect. It's a podcast called twenty five Whistles twenty wine.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. Blow the whistle. Yeah I saw
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: this last week. But a guy who broke the world
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: record for running a mile. So his name is Josh Kerr.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I think he's Australian. He ran a mile in three
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: minutes and forty two seconds. What and that's the world record? Now,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: dang Mike, when you hear that as a runner, it's
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: from Great Britain.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: That's insane, Like that's I mean, I could do double
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: that and that would be fast for me.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: What I heard somebody comparing it to is if you
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: take the treadmill to gym and you go all the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: way up as fast as it could possibly go, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: you just that that's even faster than that for a mile.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: How does how do people get that much better at things?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm talking about humans right, Like this is a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: record because in all these years humans have not been
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: able to do this, but now all of a sudden,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: this guy named Josh Kirk can be way faster.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Than everyone, but he only beat the other record back
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a second or something.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Oh it's okay, so it's a slowly yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: And forever they couldn't break a four minute mile. And
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I think I've told this story before, but they it
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: was kind of the fairy tale that one day a
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: human's going to break a four minute mile, and then
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: once someone finally did break it, it showed it as possible,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and then the people start being a four minute mile
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: all the time.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Got it?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: The story is the formut mile was once considered humanly impossible,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a physiological barrier doctors believed would literally burst a man's
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: heart if he ran a mile in less than four minutes.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: May sixth, nineteen fifty four, a twenty five year old
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: British medical student named Roger Banister proved the world wrong.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It was cold, it was raw, there were crosswinds, so
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: not wins behind him. He almost called the attempt off
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: due to weather. Just before the race, the wind dropped
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and so he ran. He was paced by a teammate
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: at first, and then different teammates because they can't run
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it that fast, and so he was paid by different
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: teammates at thirty no, no, a minute a lap right,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: so if he can do a minute a lap, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: so he then took over and got ahead at a
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: minute fifty eight seconds and he finished in he surge
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: did on the final back stretched sprinting the last three
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: hundred yards, he crossed the tape and collapsed into the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: arms of the crowd three minutes fifty nine seconds and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: four tenths of a second.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Right now, this had been forever, like decades that they said,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you can't do this. Here's medically why one of the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: reasons your heart would burst. I think about that. For decades,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: no one had done it. He did it, big deal.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Forty six days later, somebody else did it. Oh yeah,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I guess because like if the shows it can be done,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and if that's what the doctors.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Are saying, like, hey, your heart will blow up if
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you try this, who's gonna try it. I'm not trying it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: People tried it, though, they just couldn't beat four minutes.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So it's so mental, is what you're saying.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It's exactly what it was. And then after that happened,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: people started to do it. Now obviously not everybody. It's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: still very hard. Yeah, like we can't do it. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the guy that just set the world record. You know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: he ran it at three minutes forty two seconds, So
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you're talking about all those years you've only got a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: seventeen and some change second difference. But pretty wild.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Did he say what he ran it on? The guy? Well,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: either one get it? The track is it? It can't
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: be like the street, It can't be.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Try It got to be a track, right you try,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and it's got to be outdoors, right, Like you can't
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: have an indoor no element track because this guy wrote
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: like all the wind and everything, and I feel like
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: if you're going to beat a record, it's got to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: be in the elements.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I think it could be indoors. Yeah, because with the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: elements too, they won't even count it. Especially in sprinting,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: if you have any sort of backwind, it doesn't count.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You can have the world record, but it'll say wind
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: aided and it doesn't count as the record.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: That's like long drives in golf really yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Back like a long drive contest they don't allow win.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: like the people that have like four hundred and twenty
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: yard drives, that's because they hit the cart path a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: few times.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No. I was playing with Matt Castle and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: we were playing at his club, and I, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I have that driver that's like a mini driver, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: so I was not confident in my driving because I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: haven't played in forever. And so I got the mini
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: driver out and I was hitting it pretty good. And
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I was probably hitting it two thirty with the mini driver.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: When I would hit it good, it probably take sucks
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: off twenty yards, but I hit it. It's gone, but
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: in the middle we couldn't find it. And it's one
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: of those frustrating times where you're like, I know, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: hit it in the middle and you can't, and then
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: you go, we gonna like gallery rules. Somebody's got to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: ask that at first. And the gallery rule is if
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: there was a gallery, they'd find your ball, not you
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: might've hit it in the woods or not. Because if
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you hit it, maybe you hit in the woods, it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: in the woods, the ball is lost. But if you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: hit it in the middle and you can't find it,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: there's just something weird happening. It's somewhere. So he's like, dude,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: we saw you hit it in the middle. Just put
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it down somewhere. And so I was like, okay. So
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I put it down and he went up because he
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: hits it a mile.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure he does.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Does he have a nice swing. We talked about a
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: little bit.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I can't remember fluid. Yeah, And he hadn't played much
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: five kids. He's tall, everything about him is athletic, good looking.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Govin what okay?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And he's at his ball and he goes, hey, there's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a ball right in front of the green and the groom.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It's like a three hundred and seventy yard hole. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I was I said, that's probably a range ball or something, goes,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I was playing one of those little soccer ball type things.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Always it looks like a soccer ball in no way.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So I hit my ball and it wasn't a great jot.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It was like fringe right from where I was.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It was like one it was your provisional because you thought,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: no way, that was yours.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Not a provisional one. I dropped but didn't count as
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: a drop because the gallery rules.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: And so then I was walking up to it and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: it was my soccer ball right by the green, which
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: meant my drive would add to be like three hundred
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and seventy five yards, except hits carpath, sure, because the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: carpath then cuts in the middle of the faraway like
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and it hit the carpath, roll all the way down
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and rolled off. Yeah, so that drive yeah, really three
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and seventy yards.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: But they counted too, Like if you google, like what's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the longest driving a PGA tour event, and I'll tell you,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and it's of course they hit the carpath like twenty times,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that counts. Yeah, I mean wherever it lies, and then
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that's how long the drive is.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Huh you think there'd be a rule where it wouldn't
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: count for like the records.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Do you know that there's only been one I want
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to mess this up one uh hole in one on
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a par four, only one in tour history.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about that, because at
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: first I would go, yeah, well, of course because par
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: four's but then there are some really short par fours,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: yeah that the guys do drive.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they can do that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: So I guess I'm just that's interesting. I guess I
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: don't feel any way about it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when I searched it, yeah, two thousand and one. Yeah, yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Andrew McGhee.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: My kids make me google the dumbest things.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Ever, you go minus three on one hole, how about that?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Let's get the and I bet he didn't even win
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the tournament.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, you ever heard of Andrew McGee?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Never?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I looked up the Ryan Fox thing because I said,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: what I saw about him is either he played slow
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: or fast. I didn't know. I just knew his pace was.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Apparently he's a really really fast player. Het the ball
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and hits.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It and just hits it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: No practice.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: He was like, I got to play.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just get up, hit it and move on.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: That's funny. I have one kid that takes ten practice
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: wings and the other one no practice wings.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Your kids still playing a lot of golf?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they love it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Do you ever ship them out with just those two?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Digest your kids?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah. So the other day, my twelve year old
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: was like, Hey, a couple of my friends are gonna
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: go play. They have a tea time at like two o'clock.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Can you just drop me off and I can play
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: with him? Yeh, no problem. So I took him. I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: dropped him off and it was a threesome. And then
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: about like fifteen minutes later, I called to check in, like, hey,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: did you guys tea off? Like what hold you guys on?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh yeah, we're on whole three. Everything's good.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: They teamed us up with some man, so he's playing
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: with us. I'm like, what, that's weird. And I and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I had him one speaker, and my wife's like, they
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: teat him up with a man, like who is this man?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So she starts freaking out, but I'm like, it's okay,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Like it's golf, like that happens. You know, if there's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: threeesome going out, they'll throw a random in there with
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: twelve year olds.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: Though I thought it was kind of weird.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of weird. And I bet you they only
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: did that if it was packed that day. Huh yeah,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Like why is that a pack day? Because otherwise don't
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you just let the one go after the three?
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: This course is like known to just like you can
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: show up and if there's room, they'll throw you in.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So like, cause I do that sometimes. I'm usually the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: three kids. No, they've never put me with kids. I've
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: played with college students before, fine, which is totally different.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It's weird. It is kind of weird with twelve year
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: old You're right, yeah, it's not pedo weird.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Well, my wife was like pedo, like, do we need
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to pick him up?
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Even if you're that guy?
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Though?
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Are you like, go ahead?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Guys? I wouldn't want to play.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like al wait, you guys go ahead, I'll
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: be behind or whatever. Let me go first one of
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: the two.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So I had all these questions when I picked him up, like, well,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: so who was this Guy's like, ah, I don't know.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Probably like Epstein Bill.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: He goes, they're like, probably old. He was older than you,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you know, like older than you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I think it's okay if you're like sixty plus though
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: too fair.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: So and I said, was he good? He's like he
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: was okay. But here's the thing. He made us all
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: tea off from the Blues and I'm like, you guys
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: are twelve? He said yeah, He's like, are you guys
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: girls or men? So he made him play from the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Blue Teeth.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: That's all.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: That's funny.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have if I were to them, but that's funny. Yeah,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: but they did play from the blis.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He's like, dad, I played so bad because I couldn't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: get to the green in like four shots.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't have like a leader amongst the thirty
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to be like oh, dude, shut up like one.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: That's what I told my wife to him, Like they're fine.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: They're all together, you know, like nothing bad is gonna happen.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: They're all together. Like I'm sure they're they're good.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: You see Pat mcafe's putting out of a countrysic album. Yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a joke at first, and then
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: I kept seeing it. I'm like, this is not a joke.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And then I saw a pictures I'm writing with Ernest.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I saw that picture.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so then the songs are going to be pretty good.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, Ernest is a great writer. I don't
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: know who else he wrote with if it was all
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: with Ernest or Yeah, but he's gonna put out a record.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Well, it's like John Daly. You know, he's put out
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a couple country records. I wrote one song on one
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of his albums.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, you have money, you just you just write
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and record. I mean Pat McAfee, though, is like the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: dude right now is kind of weird. I mean he's
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like people are unfairly going at Pat McAfee
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Is the layoffs?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you saw the Ryan.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Clark Oh yeah, now that was a layoff right. That
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't firing.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: That was a layoff. Now he got laid off a
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: day before pretty much everybody else did because he got
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: cut during that show.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: That's what. But he said, it's like mid show they
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: got he got cut.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Weird situation. Somebody leaked it to OutKick. OutKick called ESPN
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and said, hey, we just heard Ryan Clark is being fired.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: We're going to give you an hour to respond to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: us or we're going with it. ESPN goes, well, we
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: don't want him to hear about it in an article.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: We have to tell him. He just happen to be
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: doing that show. They go tell him they let him go.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: It was in the middle of the show. It wasn't
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: on camera. Someone walks up and whispers and while he's talking, producer, Yeah,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: so he got let go. ESPN give it to the
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Athletic real quick so they could break it instead of
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: out Kick. So Ryan Clark got let go, Karl Ravitch
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: got let go. I know a lot of people got
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: let go. And ESPN does layoffs every year. This was
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: a big one. Now where I think Pat McAfee is
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: unfairly taking the brunt of this is I don't know
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: if it's rumored or if that's what it is. He's
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: making sixty million dollars a year for his show, but
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: his show is not owned by ESPN. First of all,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how much somebody makes. It doesn't have
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to him anybody else. Like it's two different things. Yeah,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: he should get everything he can get because that's what
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: we do. These other guys aren't negotiating their deal's worried
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: about other people producers making their money like it's it's
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: just not how this business works. You get what you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: can get, and that's what you got. Because let's not
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a true scenario. But Carl Ravage when he did his
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: last deal, I don't know, he's making a year a
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: couple million bucks a year. Well, if they're like going
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: to fire two production guys and Carl Ravage and making
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: two million bucks a year, but if they didn't pay
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: as much ticket he kept two production guys, call Ravage
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't go no, no, no, take my money and pay
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the production guys. That that doesn't happen.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So does McAfee own his own show.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, and ESPN basically leases it. Yeah, so, but when
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: they pay him that money, that sixty million, it's for
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the show. It's for him to pay his co host,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: it's for the technique, it's it's all of it. It's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: for the entity. Now, some of that also could be
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: part of the money he's getting for doing Game Day
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: because he does work for them when he does that. Yeah,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: so that's different. But for his show, and they're going
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: sixty million, they're paying that for the full, polished up product.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So is that let me see if this is a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: fair comparison. So is that like Friends the TV show
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: or The Office? A company owns the office, right, like
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a production company owns the office, then they lease it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: or NBC pays for it to air. It is that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: kind of the same.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Sure, NBC you can pay for like the rights to it,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: But then those deals can be different to where the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: network is then in charge of paying the actors, but
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: it can be paid through the production company.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: You can pay to the actor specifically more complicated or like.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: A script, like a movie script, like is he selling
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: his show to ESPN? My way off there?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I guess I don't just don't know what you're saying, Like.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: When you have a script that you wrote and you
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: want to sell it to a Warner Brothers or something
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: like that, and you sell them that script for them
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: to make, but you also own the right to that movie.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: So they're going to buy the script. The movie company is,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: they're gonna pay for the right to the script. Yeah,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and then they're going to pay the actors. The movie
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: company is themselves. That production company is different. But for
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the sake of this story, he's still making a crapload
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: of money, tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: But that's not his job to worry about what that
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: network is doing business wise. And so people if Pat
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: McAfee wasn't making all the money or best to keep
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: their job, you don't know that. You literally don't know
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: if that will be the case because one doesn't mean
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the other one has to happen.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And what's going on with the NFL network.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: That's that's interesting too. Well. Another story is like t
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Bow got a new contract, right, it's not as big
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: as McAfee, so well, if t Bow were taking less money,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it could have saved they Those things don't work together
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: hand in hand like that. Now it can affect overall
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: spreadsheets and differences, but it's not tip for tat one
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: for the other. No, And it's a business. It's not
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a huge it's a people have to run businesses. Yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and they're doing what they it's not perfect good, Well,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: they're doing what they think is best for the business
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: so they can keep their job. And can you make
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: in their money?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: They think it's like the players that take pay cuts,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: like a jaylen Brunson, like, oh, he's taking a pay
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: cut so his teammates can stay. Like they think it
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: works like that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: In the end, there's no salary cap in media, right exactly,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: And they take pay cuts not because the team can
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: only afford so much. It's because there's a literal salary cap.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: They're not allowed to spend more than that. So ESPN
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: owns NFL Network. They bought NFL Network. Now what NFL
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Network NFL owns is ten percent of ESPN. YESPN, Yeah,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: that's so that's that. So all the people that work
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: for NFL Network then became ESPN employees. So now ESPN's
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: got all these employees and they're going with too many employees,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: so we've got to make cuts. And what I had
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: heard is what they were going to let contracts run
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: out and then just not renew them. But like Tom
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Pelisar's Pelsario is awesome, and he had one year left
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: on his deal and so he got cut because he
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: was an NFL network guy that ended up being ESPN.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: But media, everything's consolidating because it has to. There's layoffs
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: in our industry all the time. And we work for
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the biggest company, so that one's louder than others because
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: it's more. But every it happens with every company it is.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: It's very difficult. But what people are trying to do
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: now is do their own thing and own as much
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: as they can, so if it does happen, they have
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: a thing already built. Where Pat Pat McAfee did is
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: he started his own thing first.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like Steven A.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Smith makes a ton of money to ESPN thirty forty
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: million dollars year whatever he makes, but he's also now
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: building his own thing as he's doing that, so that works.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: But McAfee did that before.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, before he got the ESPN. Yeah, yeah, so he
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: already had the foundation.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: But Pat McAfee did not get Ryan Clark fired.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: No, you said clip going around where he's like calling
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Clark out, but it's from yeah, six years ago.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: If Ryan Clark, well Ryan Clark. So why that clip
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: is so viral is because, again I'm just reading stories
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm just talking to people. I do have pretty
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: significant connections inside the sports media world, really good ones did.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I get to know a lot of stuff. And so
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the thing that Ryan Clark really was putting a negative
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: light on was he was talking to Peter Schrager during
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: one of those shows. I don't think it was it
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: was good up yet and he was like, we didn't.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Play yeah, and then Treger got offended by that. Yeah,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: it looked like they were fighting, but I feel like
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that's an everyday thing on that show.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that one was a very unprofessional, immature way
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: to have that argument.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: But man, you know, every athlete wants to say that,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: but these non athlete commentators.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: But it's really dumb because the best athletes are terrible
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: at knowing about the game because they were able to
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: just be athletic and dominate. So Michael Jordan wasn't a
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: good owner. It's why all the great coaches that were
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: athletes were scrubs or Division two players, because they had
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: to learn how to play it at a higher level
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: with limited physical tools and their minds because they weren't
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: a plus players. So when you get these guys that
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: are good, they're going, well, you didn't play well. Honestly,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: if you're real good, it means you didn't have anyway.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: That being said, he said he didn't play. Peter Striker's
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: really great at what he does.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: He's good.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: But it's you tell me, Okay, you can say it
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to me, right, I get one the shows. I have
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: a big opinion. I'm like, you know what, I might
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: not be a chef or kill the cow, but I
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: can tell you a good freaking hamburger.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Like, it doesn't take that. There's an advantage to playing,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: you know, a different part of it. But that happened,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: real bad look on him, but it seemed like it
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: made him look like a dick. But there's an older
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: clip that Kevin's talking about where he was kind of
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: doing that about sam punters and kickers weren't players. If
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Pat McAfee had him on this one, mcv was doing
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: his podcast from the black room. In the dark room,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And McAfee's like, okay, so if you say
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: players like you ever thrown a touchdown pass? And he's like, no, no, no,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it's okay. Okay, you have a run one in. It's
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: like no, no, no, no, you ever whatever whatever, And
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: he goes, no, no, no, he goes, I have I've
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: thrown a touchdown, I've run one in. So by your logic,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I'm more full player than you are. And they were
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: having a good time with them. Yeah, but that's what's up.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: That's just the Internet like just bringing something back, some
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: old back that like people will think what's relevant now
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: and like it just happened when it just didn't.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: It's like the Taylor Swift clips that get brought up
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: on me from whenever she was in fifteen years ago
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: and with no context soever, none whatsoever, And I'm like,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you poison them cookies or yeah whatever whatever it was,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and people have no idea.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Have you seen these, Kevin, No, what are you talking about?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I get them sent to me all the time. People
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: like you treat a Taylor like crap, but there's no
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: context about it, and she's just funny and fine. We
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: had her and I had a good relationship. But if
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: you just see the clip, well you know how I
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: interview you anyway, like if I know them, yeah, we
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: pick at each other, but you didn't know that and
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: so people are always look at how he treated her,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and so I don't mind it because I like the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: engagement and I don't look like a huge dick to
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: the kind of a dick.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't look like a huge And it's hard
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: for me because I was there. I saw the whole
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: conversation and there was nothing crazy about it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And there were multi I mean, and I knew her
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: when she was here. I knew her a little more
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: than just coming in on the show.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you saw her and had a little bit of
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: a relationship as far as like a friendship outside of
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: the show.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I felt like I could kid around with
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: her and that's what it was. Yes, But it's that
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: and the Internet keeps bringing that up. It gets fat
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: people all the time.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Without Ryan Clark clip though, I mean, it's like, this
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is the clip that got him fired, and I'm like, okay.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Guys, so that was almost a year ago.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: It is the clip though, that probably puts some negative,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: for sure, taste in people's mouth because that I don't
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: mind the debating even if, cause that's what those shows are.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Yell at each other, yeah, Skip yelling at freaking steven A,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: yelling at Shannon is yelling whoever's on that show in
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: the morning now. But that was a that was like
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: low blow.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I s where I've seen like one of the MBA
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of the you know, Kenny or Chuck or one of
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: those guys telling Ernie like no offense, but you didn't play,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: or like somebody like that. I've heard that so many
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: times and I get it, Like there are some things
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sure players are like you don't understand because you've
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: never been in a locker room during a championship game.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: And I would think like a locker room dynamic thing
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: would be fair, but you still don't say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: but if you're like breaking down tape and you're comparing
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: what I think there are nerds, and I'm a nerd
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: in a lot of ways on a lot of things
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that actually know more than people who used to play.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just it's like an insecure thing to me.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: That's how I look at it, Like I don't know
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: what they'll say, so I'm gonna say you didn't play.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: You have no idea, like you don't have an argument,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: or like you don't know anything about music because you
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: don't even know how to play the guitar or whatever.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: You call it acoustics.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, acoustic guitar.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Idiot.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I brought that up to play away. I was like,
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: how do you say this kind of guitar short of
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: a picture? And she's like acoustic. I'm like, dang.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: One of my favorite coaches in college football, Eli Drinkwitz,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: University of Missouri, and I talk to him. Coming up
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: in just a second. All right, let's take a break.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: All right, I want to bring in which, by the way,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I did my power ranking of favorite SEC coaches this year.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: For the first time ever, you're number one coach favorite
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: SEC coach. You're number one here is Yes, coach Eli Drinkwitz,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: your number one. Congratulations. How do you feel about that award?
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Actually, that's one of the highlights of my career so far.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: I mean to be on the Bobby Bones number one ranking.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: I think it's probably because we're both from the said
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Arkansas but means a lot to me, for sure.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to bleep out this number. But coach, this
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: is a real question, and I mean this seriously. I'm
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: going to bleep out the number though, so it's not
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: going to hit Let's say there was someone who gave
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the program over the last few years, would you like
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: treat them like, like ignore them in every way possible.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: My gosh, I have lunch with somebody about once every
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: two weeks. It's done less than that. I mean, I
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: treat those guys. We've got a group called out of
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: the Tiger.
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: They do.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: And bleep that number out, but well, we do a
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: weekly zoom call with them. We do a yearly event
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: for them.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: So I mean ghosted like a check that you just
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: found out was crazy or something out there. It's a Yeah,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: it's a weird relationship. I have found that donating makes
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: me like care more but also be like irritated but
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: also appreciate more. Like that's got to be a weird
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: negotiation with like your donors right to make them feel loved,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: like even if things aren't going right.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's created a totally different relationship
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: with your guys, just because honestly, when I lose, I
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: feel very down, you know, and I feel like I've
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: disappointed them and have a little bit of shame to that.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: And so then you know, it's like, how do you
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: reintroduce yourself to that conversation with those guys when or
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: if the players not playing very well, Like you know,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: we had a situation what we called and you know,
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: really wanted to get a certain player and then he
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: didn't perform the way we wanted him to perform. And
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: you know, all those guys that shift in the money,
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: how do they feel about it?
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: So it's a it's a unique time and place for sure.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Do you ever have a relationship with the player and
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the player doesn't you know, the injury's not out there
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: and you know the player's battling something, but it's not
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: being shared and you're seeing seeing them kind of get
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: raked over the calls and you're like, man, just isn't
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: fair because people don't know.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, actually happened with our quarterback last year. He was
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: battling some injuries, you know, just beat up from the
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: games and wasn't quite playing up to what he had
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: wanted to play or maybe the fans had expected him
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: to play. And so you know, he's getting some unfair criticism.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: But it's a competitive advantage to not put it out there,
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: you know, from the other team knowing what he's battling.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: So it's just one of those things that if you
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: allow your emotions and mindset to be dictated by social media,
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: you're always going to be in a funk. So you know,
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: we talk about ignoring the noise. It's harder now than ever,
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: but it's something that you have to find some application
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: for somehow.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Do you guys have a therapist that talks to the kids,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: maybe not even about performance, but even things like social media.
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we do.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: We constantly are going through mental performance coaches, people coming
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: in here visiting with our guys.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: About mental health.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: But we do have a mental performance coach who's actually
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: a professional golfer, professional golf mental performance coach too, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: he spends time with us and he does a really
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: good job of trying to communicate to our guys about
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: really more mental preparation, mental reps, but also that downside
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: of allowing other people to speak into your mindset.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: And it's really not a one size fits all, right,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: because everybody take success and failure differently, and so you
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: have to treat every player different, right, Yeah.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: I mean that's the challenge too, right, Like I'll get
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: up in front of our team and I'll deliver what
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: I consider a bang out message, and I think I've
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: got everybody, and you go out two days later and
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: it's totally you know, five guys completely didn't listen or
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: not paying attention.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: So yeah, everybody's different. Everybody mental health's different.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: You know some people, you look at Baker Mayfield, he
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: loves talking trash. That's what gets him going. He likes
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: that back and forth to figure it out. You know,
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: there's other players that once they start talking trash, they
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: lose their focus and emotional control. So everybody's wired a
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: little bit different. You got to try to figure it out.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: Luther Burden was one that when he was talking trash,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: just getting the ball if somebody else talked trash to him,
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: just getting the ball because he was fixing to do
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: something electric. But I've got other guys that, you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: they just can't quite handle that same conversation.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Were you able to keep up with Luther as rookie
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: er last year at all?
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah, yeah, In fact, I keep up with Luther.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: He just got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Kendall. He's
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: had a heck of an off season. Yeah, we stay
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: in touch. We're pretty close and in fact, you know,
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: Coach Johnson had sent me multiple texts throughout the year,
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: just really proud of the growth that he had shown
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: in the development that he's had as a player.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: What is your philosophy on recruiting freshman.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: I think you're still We're still a developmental program and
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: the quickest way to retain NFL players is to recruit them.
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: But also understand, you know, at programs.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: Like the University of Missouri, you're you're probably not going
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: to go sign a top five class, So you've got
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: to be able to what we call rusty trucks. You
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: want to go get some rusty truck type players who
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: are developmental players. Play for the love of the game,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: play for the love of the Oval Tiger. Just want
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: to be a Missouri Tiger, grow and develop into a player,
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: and then save some money for the transfer portal and
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: figure out if you can get sobody who maybe doesn't
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: have all the size and skill that the NFL was
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: looking for, but develops that while they were, you know,
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: at a different school, and try to get those guys. So, man,
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: it's a tough combination right now. You know, you look
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: at the five stars right now, and the price that
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: you have to pay to get them variable with that
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: if they do or don't play earlier in the career.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: You know, we've done some four and five star studies
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: of our own program, and if those guys don't play
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: in the first year, that's our highest risk for transfers.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: So it's a real balancing act right now trying to
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: figure that out. And there's no real formula. There's just
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: we're now starting to get into some data points that
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: you can detect trends and make decisions based off that.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: From where I sit just watching a bunch of games,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I would just not want to recruit many freshmen because
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: just that you're going to pay a lot of money
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: for a four or five star kid, and again, if
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: they don't get whatever play time based on hype they
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: feel they deserve or their parents deserve, they're going to leave.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: So you basically just wasted a bunch of money invested
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: unsuccessful investment to a bunch of money for a kid
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: that's going to go somewhere else.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, that's the risk you run. But the
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: inverse of that is also true. If you get a
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: four or five star and they do contribute and you're
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: able to retain them, then you're getting a guy who's
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: going to be a potential All sec All American NFL player.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: So I think you have to figure out that balancing act.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: You know, for us, Luther Burden was a risk worth taking.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Bretton Norfleet's been a guy that has been able to
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: play really at a high level. Donovan Alubadet is a
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: guy who was highly recruited. Marquis Grossiel as a guy
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: that was highly recruited. So we've had those success stories
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: of putting in the money, putting in the effort getting
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: those guys and then development.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: We've also, you know, we've missed.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: We signed the number one defense end in the country
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: who was a five star from the state. He left
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: after the first semester. So you know, there's both sides
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: of it. But if I do know this, trying to
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: sign a player out of the portal that has five
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: star ability and capabilities, you're going to break the bank
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: doing that too.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: So it's you've got to figure out which one you
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: can do and afford.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Watching you guys last year and Matt Hardy was amazing
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and so, but he can only do what he can
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: do if everybody else does what they can do, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: so it kind of it's a kind of precarious situation
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: because if you don't have the line and you don't
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: have the quarterback like he's not really able to flourish.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Do you expect the same kind of numbers from him?
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Do you have the people that can make sure he's
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: able to run.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: I feel very good about our offensive line. In fact,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: I think we've greatly improved our offensive line. And it's
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: hard to say when you lost a third round draft
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: picked and a four year starter at center, But I
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: do think that you know, Dom Judice, who started arrest
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: for left guard last year, moves into center. I think
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: he's very capable of He's a great player, strong leader.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: You know, we retained Kaden Green, who's a premier left
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: tackle in the country. We are right tackle and left
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: guard played for a significant time last year, and then
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: went out and got a couple of transfers who will
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: compete for the right tackle spot. So I think that
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: combination with two returning starters at tight end with Brett
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Norfleet and Jordan Harris Jordan from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, I
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: think a mod's going to have every opportunity to do
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: what he did last year. Now, he did have two
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: three hundred yard games, you know that that's a pretty
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: remarkable thing to accomplish.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure he'll.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Get two of those again, but he's going to have
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: every bit of capability to do that. I do anticipate
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: the biggest you know, the biggest challenge for us is
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: to improve at the quarterback position with not only fewer takeaways,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: but increased the explosive plays. We haven't been able to
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: be as explosive as we need to be down the field,
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: and so bringing in Austin Simmons, you know, that's going
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: to be a huge part of whether or not a
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Maud can be what he was last year.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: So Simmons, in your mind, he's the guy to start.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, Austin be our starter. He had a really
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: good spring. He's very capable. He's got as much arm
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: talent as anybody I've ever been around.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: And now it's just about getting comfortable.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: You know, one of the mistakes I made last year
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: was dragging out that quarterback competition and not really allowing
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: our team to get comfortable with the leadership in place.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: And I think you know, when you have guys who've
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: been in the program multiple years and you have a
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: quarterback competition, I think.
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: It's a known quantity who those guys are and what
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: their leadership is.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: When you're trying to do that out of the transfer portal,
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: I think you're putting those guys in the transfer portal
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: in a really bad spot.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: And I didn't do the best that I could for
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: Bo last year and giving him an opportunity to lead
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: the team.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: We just had a daughter four months ago, first first
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: kid for me, and so we had a little girl.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I know you have four four girls, right, I do? Okay,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: what's up? What if I do well?
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: Is this the first child?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Oh man, you're in great shape. They're awesome. For the
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: first ten or twelve months. Honestly, all you can do
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: is change diapers and help your wife out. You're not
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: going to get real a whole lot of interaction. But
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: once they start smiling, it's over. Once they start smiling,
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: once they can start gibbering and feel like they're communicating
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: to you, you got the world by the tail. Honestly,
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: it's awesome.
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: Now. You know, I will tell you this.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: You might want to put a little bit less money
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: into nil and a little bit more money, not really
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: into weddings. I was really concerned about weddings. But my
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: oldest daughter's sixteen now, and she's thinking about college, and man,
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: like these dorm rooms, those are exorbitant costs right now,
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Like you can hire somebody to decorate a dorm room
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: for you. And like going to school sororities. It makes
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: a wedding look like a walk in the park.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Do they get free tuition? Tho if they go to Missouri?
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, now what they paid me and they ain't
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: giving me free tuition? Are you giving me?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I thought like, if you worked at the school, you
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: got free tuition.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: We get we get a little bit of a discount.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: I'm sure.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: But you know, that's going to be the toughest recruiting
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: battle I've ever had, is trying to figure out.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: If I can keep my sixteen year old at the
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: University of Missouri.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: She actually went and toured the University of Arkansas last spring,
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: and she's got a couple other schools on her mind
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: that she wants to look at. So we got a
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: real battle on her hands. You know, that's that's an
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: interesting deal. I told them that I would only pay
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: for the school that I coach at or Arkansas Tech University.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Other than that, they have to get scholarships. Now, my
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: wife hasn't agreed to that same deal. But that's that's
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: what I'm going with right now.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, Russell Bill's blown up. I don't know if you've
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: been back in a minute, but they got like Super Walmart.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Now it's got everything.
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: I mean, it blew up and the Waterburger went under.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I know that way. It's gone crazy. That it had
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the one Waterburger forever in the state of Arkansas. I
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: was legendary to get That's where it was legendary. How
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: does Waburger go under anywhere?
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, I honestly thought about buying it and trying
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: to keep it rolling, but I didn't think that'd be
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: a good idea in Russellville if they knew I was
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: the owner.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: Too many razorback fans.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: You act like they just give you a bed, bath
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: and beyond ten percent off coupon to get your daughters
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: in school there.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: I thought it was.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Something like the deal was a little better, like to
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: get your kid like wherever you worked.
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: Bed bath and beyond.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: I thought it was like Cole's bucks Man they match,
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: you know, you get as coals dollars or something.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Do you kind of want your kids to go somewhere
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: farther though, so they can have an experience that's their own.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: I think that's the biggest battle, right is I want
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: them to experience life outside of the shadow of their
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: dad being the head football coach. But you'll you're starting
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: to probably feel it now. I mean, part of the
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: reason I live and breathe is my kids, and it's
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: hard for me to come to grips with the fact
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: that they won't be in my you know, wouldn't be
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: you know, a mile or two from me, you know,
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: So that's the real challenge. I think one of the
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: books I read this past spring with the Five Types
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: of Wealth, and one of the challenges they bring to
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: you is that you know, from zero to eighteen is
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: the most time you're ever going to spend with your children,
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: and that's the hardest times of your life. That you
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: work and you think that you're saving up all this
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: money so that when you retire, you'll spend time with
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: your family and make it up to them, and that's
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: just not really the case.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: So that kind of hit me in the face because
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: I spent so much of my time.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Not really being there for my girls, and now I've
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: really tried to be totally different. Like last Friday night,
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: I took my girls out fishing. We went catfishing at night.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, just trying to make up as much time
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: as I can. So I can't imagine in two years
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: her being, you know, halfway across the country, well.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: At Liasta Shows to Arkansas, that I'd just be a
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: little drive down the road.
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I ain't driving anywhere.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Just one more football thing. I was looking at your schedule.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Everybody's schedule in the SEC is hard, no doubt about it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Your schedule kind of sucks, coach, that's all. You guys
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: got a doozy.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: I mean I think I've looked through just about every
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: SEC schedule.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: They're all difficult. It's so it is what it is.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think we were ranked as the hardest
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: schedule in the SEC, you know, from the nine game schedule.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: You know, I think we played basically five playoff teams,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: which is good. You know. I think the best friend
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: of any quarterback is a good defense and run game,
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: which traditionally we've been able to do. I think our
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: quarterback's got plenty of arm talent, which is going to
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: mean it's gonna come down to one possession games in
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: two minute drives, so you know, we'll be right there,
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: have to catch a few breaks and see how it goes.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: One of my good friends coaches Kansas, what do you
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: feel about Lance? Do you have any comment on him?
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: I like Lance. I got a tremendous amount of respect
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: for Lance. I think he's done a really good job there.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: That's going to be a challenging game on you know,
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: the Friday, I think September eleventh.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: But he's done a really good job.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Do you ever go to places, it's been my last question,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: like other stadiums and go, dang, this is awesome, Like
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I need to make a call so we can get
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: whatever this thing is like in technology they have.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I've done that quite a bit. When
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: we played in Columbia South Carolina I think in twenty
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: twenty four and they had their lights show to start
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: the fourth quarter, you know, I called Shane and said, hey,
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: what do y'all got there?
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: And then brought it back to our administration.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: So absolutely, I think in this league, man, like, everybody's
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: trying to be on the cutting edge, and you're not
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: willing to figure out what everybody else is doing to
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: try to make it You know special. We kind of
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: did that at the University of Arkansas. I mean they
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: closed in their North End zone redid that the Broil Center,
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: and so that's what kind of gave us the idea of, Hey,
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: we really need to put in the new north End
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Zone complex for us, which will be open this year.
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: So we're always trying to improve our condition.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: Coach.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Always good to talk to you. I feel like we
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: did it about once a year. I do root for
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: you guys and so, and I do watch more Missouri
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: games than I should because I like you. And that's
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: all that matters, you know, just relationships. It's the relationships
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: we've we've we got along the way, isn't that right? Coach?
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, man, That's what it's all about. And look forward
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: to seeing you. Are you going to be at our game?
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: I think it's on October thirty first at Arkansas. I mean,
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: I'll give you a sideline pass if you want to
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: be on.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I might stand on there. I honestly might stand on
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: your sideline. With my relationship right now with the athletic
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: director up there at Arkansas, I might put on all
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: black and gold for that one game and just do
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: DX suck at the whole time.
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know about the sucking.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, fair enough, more than fair.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: You're more than welcome to get a sideline passed from us.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: And I won't even require you to donate to our
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: nil I'll just do it out of the principle of
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: a great relationship and friendship.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: You do out of the principal of trolling Arkansas. I
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: you ain't full of me. Coach, Hey cool? Okay, yeah maybe,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: but there you go, coach, good to see you, good
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: luck and uh yeah, I'll be watching.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks coach, and dad has left the building. Oh yeah,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: it's just us boys. I was looking at this. Uh
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: do you see that the Chiefs are getting a new stadium.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: There's like renderings of a new three billion dollars domed
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs, which is crazy to
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: me that they're actually thinking about getting a dome. Yeah.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think most fans are happy about that. Chiefs
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: fans why, because they love their arrow Well it's even
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: called arrowhead anymore. I think it's something named and then
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: airfielder gf GHA.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Anyway, you still you can't call it arrowhea anymore because
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: of that. I thought it's like the the that name stays,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: but then sponsors change probably that.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's good, We'll call it Arrowhead. Go ahead,
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: we'll call it Arrowhead because they love the atmosphere. I mean,
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: everyone knows the Chief Stadium as like the loudest stadium
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: in the NFL, or the maybe the Seahawks, and I
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: think being outdoors in the cold Kansas City and January
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: playoff time, they live for that. So now it's going
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: to be like this climate controlled stadium.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: See look, this is what they said. So this is
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: a clark Hunt talking about it, saying that the intention
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: of the dome is to to the intentions to amplify
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: crowd noise by keeping it contained. It is going to
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: be a glass ceiling. But that noise that they're known
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: for is the whole strategy is to contain that noise,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: which is I think is what's that number that they
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: always talk about.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: The decibel? The decibel one something.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I had a number. I had a neighbor that had it, shoot,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: had it written in her house.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: She had a tattoo.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: It was like there was like a neon chief sign
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: in her window and the underneath it was like whatever
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: one two one forty two point two decibels. They're proud
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: of that, so I guess the idea is to contain that.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: And honestly, if all that sound is contained, they'd be
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: way louder.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: I don't believe that.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: That's not what it's about, right.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: They want to host super Bowl exactly. You gotta have
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Adobe to host the super Bowl. They want events to
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: come there and not be affected by the weather. They
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: don't care about the atmosphere.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: You're saying, I got got Yeah, it's all about business.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Look at the one they're building here, right down the street.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: They're building it so they can have concerts here. It
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: looks beautiful, so we could get WrestleMania here. It's not
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: about the environment. It's a business thing. It's just like restaurants.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: You ever go to McDonald's Now, they all look the
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: exact same Yeah, so they can flip the building. You
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: go to a pizza hut, it doesn't look like that
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: old pizza hut building anymore. Yeah, they create it so
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: if they need to sell it down the line, they
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: all have to look the same same things. With all
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: these stadiums now, they all just have to kind of
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: have this uniform look. They don't care about atmosphere. They
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: care about what they can host in that building.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And Mike, you kind of killed it for me.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: Dude, and I let them down. It's all sad.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: No, you're telling me what Santa Claus dude. Gosh, yeah,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I guess so, I mean, I guess you're right. I mean,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: it is all business. But it's just crazy though, because
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: some of these stadiums are known to be the outdoor stadium.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the cheap Arrowhead forever has been like,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: oh man, it's freaking cold, and Arrowhead there's gonna be snow,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: like you know, I had a dome everything.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Now Packers, there's a few that are like even the
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: bills they're gonna be in that Domemills. Yep, that's gonna
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: be weird. It'll take some time, people will get used
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: to it like everything else, but it'll just gonna be weird.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, anyway, so they're building three billion dollars too,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: that's crazy.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: I think they ever come out looking that good though,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: because the renderings look cool, but I feel like once
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: they actually build them, they don't look as cool as
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: they're hyping them up to be.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: You're right, the renderings always look cool. There are people
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: walking around and joined beers.
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: And everybody happy. They're like, Oh, this is gonna be
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: the best thing ever. They're like, that's all right.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I just thought of something that I saw yesterday I'd
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: never seen before. And call me a bad sports fan
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: if you knew about this and I did it. I
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: was watching the Cubs last night and they were doing
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: a cup snake. Have you ever seen this?
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: Outfield?
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've never seen this before.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Wait, like at a Cubs game or ever. It was
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: at a Cubs I'm saying, have you never seen it?
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: As ever?
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Ever, I've never seen a cup snake before?
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: Have you, Mike, No, I know what you're talking about.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Okay. So it's like everybody gets their beer cups, I'm
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: talking everyone, and they try to make a snake out
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: of them. Okay, And this thing was covering the whole section.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: It must have been thousands and thousands of cups and
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: it was kind of falling apart. So it takes everyone
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: in the stadium to kind of, you know, piece everything together.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: It was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: Like it's got that shape of a snake where it's
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: like a big old s and it just curves and
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: curves and then if finally I think we'll break off
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: and everyone oh no.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: And you think about it and it's a lot of
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: cups because every cup takes this much, yeah, you know,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: like an inch, and then it's just like cup after
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: cup after cup. Pretty impressive. Yeah.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: I think about a lot of beer.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: I think about how expensive it is, fourteen bucks of beer.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Because beers ain't cheap. What's your favorite stadium that you've
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: been to.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: Can we take we have to take bias out of this,
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: I assume or.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: No, I mean not necessarily. It's your favorite of all time?
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, Fenway Park, I mean it's my favorite place ever.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Better than Gillette but oh god, yeah, yeah, what's wrong
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: with Gillette?
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: Ah, It's just like a normal football stadium. There's nothing
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: like crazy to it. I haven't been there since they
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: have that huge TV at Gillette a couple of years ago,
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: last year whenever they did install that. But there's just
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: something about Fenway where it's that, you know, it sounds cliche,
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: but you walk in you feel that like old history
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: in the ballpark. The seats are all tiny, the stadiums small,
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: like you feel like you're on top of the players,
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: the green Monster, the green Monster that you've seen growing up.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: So it's just like this Fanny See Land. For me,
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've been to Europe multiple times. It's still
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: till this day. Fenwi Park my favorite place I've ever
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: been to in my favorite place to visit over Europe. Yeah,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: I've been to the coliseum. Guess what, Fenily Park.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Over the Coliseum Colisseum. You know what did it for
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: me was the the what's the sign? Sitco?
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: For me that when I saw the sign for the
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: first time, I'm like, that's legit. Yeah, because I've always
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: seen it on TV and.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: The old school that Coca Cola Cola bottles.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I think for me it's probably I mean
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I love Cowboys Stadium obviously, but I think of all time,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: going into Wrigley is special almost the same way you
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: describe like, you know, it's like going back in time, dude.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Wriggly is like you expect to see al Capone there.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: It's almost like they've done such a great job at
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: keeping it looking old. Yes, like because because it looks
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: like it's going to fall apart at any minute. But
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they've inspected it multiple times to where it's
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: not it's safe.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: I remember I went there year and a half two
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: years ago. That was overrated.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Man, what do you mean?
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: Like I just I was waiting for that like nostalgic
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: feeling that you're talking about, that we're talking about with
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: Fenway too. Just never got it.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just too much hype for you.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: Maybe, and maybe I like tried to like put it
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: up with Fenway and then me being a Red Sox fan,
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: like that's just unfair. Maybe I don't know. I just
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: it was cool, but it just felt like kind of
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: like another stadium to me.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: And then you see the ivy on the wall, like yeah,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I love all that, and then the numbers that they
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: manually changed, which I think Fenway has too.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that is cool.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I agree, that's freaking awesome. Yeah, Mike, I feel like
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: you're a ballpark guy now, because like every time you
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: are to a ballpark guy now, every time you go
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: on vacation, you're like, I'm gonna go see a baseball
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: game in this city.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: That is my wife and i's thing, art bucket list
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: thing is to go to every ballpark. And we're like
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: six in so we're still early on in it, But
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: we want to go see a game at every single ballpark.
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: What are your six We've been to a Diamondbacks game.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: I love that stadium because it's right in the middle
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: of the desert, but it's it's like super hot, but then.
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: You get in there and it's nice and cool.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's weird.
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: I've been a.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Reds game, Braves, Yankees, Mets, White Sox, so I haven't
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: been to Wrigley.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: And the Reds is the great American ballpark. I what
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: to call it? What was that?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: Pretty generic?
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: Really kind of oldish, kind of just like there's not
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: a whole lot of characteristics that stick out about that park.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: I've been to that one. I've now neither of I
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of the ones. You haven't been
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: to the New Rangers one.
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: I haven't been a New Rangers one.
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: I went to the old one. That's the first ever
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: sporting event I went to as a kid.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: That old one is so cool. I love that one.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: The old one was awesome, and I've been to the
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: new one and I feel like I feel like the
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: older one one is better, Like why build a newer one?
• 48:41
  Speaker 7: Went?
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: And the thing that's crazy it's literally right across the street.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's still there. They have concerts there all the time.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Aren't they going to build a hotel out of that?
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: I heard or something or that just all talk. Probably
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: the old one.
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: That is turn it into something.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Eh, yeah, that new one is. I went there the
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: first year is open, super nice.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Where do we go, Mike? What's that place called with
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: a big TV's next to it? Live? Oh?
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Texas Live.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Have you been? Yeah, dude, that place is awesome.
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: That's the best place to watch a game.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: We went, Kevin, remember, yeah, you're there.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: Remember in the Cowboys games they walked through with the drums.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Remember the drum line was.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: That with you?
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: I've been twice? It was another one. Oh, the Cowboys
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: are playing that night and the drum line, Cowboys drum
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: line walks through Texas Live and they go to the stadium.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Wait, we went to the game though? Why did I
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: don't remember that?
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: Well, we went to the actual game, so maybe it
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: was the time I didn't go to the game but
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: they were playing.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Oh I don't know, because we did go to Dallas
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: together to go to the US went. Yeah.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you.
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: Remember that, Mic, Yeah, we went there.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Do you remember his story though about the drum line.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: I remember people partying.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: Times?
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Was that?
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: Wait, we're talking about that? Did you dream that maybe.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe what's going on with your leg?
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: Dude? I got an update. So first of all, in
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: our health system, and this is gonna be too long.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: Our health system here is just crazy.
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: You got play some music.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: I hate it. That's all I'm gonna say. Okay, just
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: to get an MRI. It took a week. I had
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: to call like fifty different people. But anyways, I got
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: the MRI and the doctor just messaged me about an
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: hour before we came on here with the results and
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: he said, this.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Is a live reading of the results.
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: No, you haven't ready yet.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, No, I read it.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: We gotta take the leg. Yeah, I read it.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Ye we got amputate.
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: He said.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: It looks like I have a medial meniscous bucket handled
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: type of tear, which can certainly cause a lot of
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: pain and lock up your knee. I'm gonna have to
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: get orthopedic or a surgery, arthoscopic surgery like we talked
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: about last week, which is the best case scenario in
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: terms of it's quick, easy. You're walking on it on
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: the same day and they don't do any like invasive
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: surgery or anything. And so I got to call this
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: number today, which I'll do and make an appointment to
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: get the surgery and hopefully, uh move on. Man. So
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: it feels so much better than it did a week ago.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: That's kind of happened. Half good news bad news because
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't know it was a tear. So they confirm
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: that it.
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: Is a terror. Yeah, they said it's to a meniscus
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: bucket handled tear, but no ACL damage.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Which is great.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really And.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: So the surgery is gonna be like at the doctor's office.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: You don't have to go into the hospital or anything.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a little doctor. I guess they just scope it
• 51:15

  Speaker 1: nose like a long time ago. It was like a
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: rotor ruter through my nose because I can only breathe
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: through one nostril. Random. But then they were like, all right,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be just doctor, come to the doctor's office.

  Speaker 1: We'll do it there or whatever. And then some weird
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: dude comes in and that's the anatistaeologist. I'm like, what
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: they knocked me out and everything, and I'm just in
