  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, terrible.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I started raining again.

• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys bring the ring, brought the loss.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah that's right, not really because they won
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: two or three from the Braves. Okay, yeah, so they're
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: not gonna win the division anyway. They're five bat where
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: they were five back going last night. The Brewers are

  Speaker 1: a different animal. They were going to make the playoffs.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So it was a fun game. Eight two hot dogs.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: There were some famous people there. Tom Morello from Regagain's Machine, Yeah, wow,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: guitar player, all right, Kevin, come on, Eddie.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Was at your first time at Wrigley.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: No, it's my second time, but it's my first time
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: with those seats.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They had the picture actually, yeah, we're probably like seven
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: rows back from home plate.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: That's legit.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you see everything.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: And the coolest thing that I liked from the ang
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: we were at was just to see the curvature of
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: the ball when it gets hit, just to kind of
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: see like, oh man, that's going let know it's not
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: it's curving right, And then you see the outfielder try.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: We can see the up against the pole, like the
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: line on the pole, isn't that crazy? The outfielders like
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: how they get the tail, and you're just like you
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: read that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It was fun. Wait, a good time, that's awesome. We
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: spent all day in Chicago yesterday. I went to promote
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a bit of the other podcast that I do with
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Matt Castle, because this one doesn't need this one's a baller.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Did you throw our podcast in there just.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Like this one? I didn't. I went up with intention
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of that one to promote that one.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I remember, we don't need it right right?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Well, you know you know what Bobby said, Kevin?
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: He he because he went into we saw I saw
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: two of your interviews out of the three, and the
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: one that they weren't broadcasting, and we.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Won the Cubs one too, So you saw three of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the four.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, three of the four. But the one that
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: we did not watch. He comes out, He's like, oh man,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: you guys didn't watch that three? You guys are shout up?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Really I did? I swear to god, I'm like, did
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the one that I didn't see?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: You threw a shout out out?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So I get there, and that's you know, Barstool's a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: mostly male audience, so it's a different audience that can
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: be exposed to me and to hopefully some of them
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: will go and sample lots to say like that's the goal,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and so go up. And I do mostly sports with
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Brandon Walker and Mark Titus, who I'm a big fan of.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And so they do their show. It's a YouTube show
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: they do every day and it's a podcast, and they
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: do their show live every day, same time. And so
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I hop into that show and I walked in and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: they had already started a few minutes earlier. So I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was a little discombobulated because I had never met them
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in person. I'd only been on one of their shows
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: through this studio when I room did a virtual. So
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I walked in and I was like, oh, and they're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: already going. So I just sat down on the couch
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and I liked it because I just kind of jumped in,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: just kind of fell in and they asked me some stuff.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But I did plug the podcast that Matt and I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: did and we just did an hour talking about all
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. I didn't say aything about Eddie, you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: really come up and George Burger is with us was
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a friend of ours, but George now has two number
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: ones and had something come up about new country music.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I had to give in Georgia shout out didn't come up.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I knew they were watching on the television out in
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the main lobby. There's like a room they have. It's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: like a chill out room, Okay, but I didn't really
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: feel the need to like shot them out, nobody like
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: force them. The other one they watched was called The
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Yak and it's like an hour forty five minute YouTube
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: show podcast and it's like everybody that's up there all
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: sitting around and I did the gauntlet and you're going
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in the.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Gym and you do all these Oh yeah, I've seen
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: clips and videos of that, like shooting and I crushed it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Did you he crushed it, Kevin?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I crushed it. I'm not here to gasp myself up
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: because there are many times I don't crush stuff. But
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it starts off with a bean bag, cornhole, cornhall, ok.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And you can't touch a bag, and they go go
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and you have to grab and start throwing one at
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a time. I grab one bag across the gym, nailed
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it first, right in the whole, nothing but hole, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh God, So then I go I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: suck kicking. But of the first three balls, one of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: my balls went in and it focker. Okay, right, hey, okay,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: classic American. I didn't see it go in, but they
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: were watching the line and apparently the ball went behind
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the goalie's hand over the line. I kept kicking the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: like no, no, it went, so I went. The next
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: thing is a whiffle ball and you have to throw
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it to yourself. I had a home run over this
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: out of the gym. The timing's weird because you're throwing
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it to yourself and try, dude, I ripped it. Home run.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: First swing gone. The next one is a quarterback throw
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: with the hole and you got to throw the ball through.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: The first throw through the hole, dang, and I'm like,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I'm on fire. I lose my shoe on the gym
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in the basket, so my shoe comes off and I'm
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: one showed. And I hit my fourth three pointer of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the four, they have a rack, so I shoot one,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: almost made the first one one of them. The third
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was an air ball, and I was like, calm down, drill.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: The fourth one go across drill did the whole thing
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in like thirty six seconds, so I was really feeling
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: great about that. Yeah. I did the whole interview with them.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Never said anything about Eddie. Sorry, buddy. They didn't ask
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: about it, didn't expect it really right. Did the Cubs
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: one and they were in the room, and it's the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: channel in Chicago that has the Cubs the Bears. It's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: called the Marque Network, it's television NETW didn't really bring
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: up Eddie or George. There was no reason. Yeah, it

• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Dude, barstool. That place is like it's like sports heaven.

  Speaker 5: to decorate it however you want, do whatever you want,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: That's how we would be.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: That would be it right there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And it's just a bunch of dudes. I'm sure they're
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: doing jobs, but just sitting around like on laptops. You know. Again,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they're working right things. But and then there's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: all these rooms they go and do a podcasts and stuff.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Is that their main hub or is it in New York?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Do you know? So their main hub was only in
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: New York. They opened this one up, but they're moving
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: out in New York. Struck, I don't know. That's now

  Speaker 1: the one that's where they shoot the TV show Front
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they just started on Fox.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, cool.

  Speaker 1: That's kind of how I live my life. Yeah, Okay,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: got everything I can possibly get out of it, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I don't want to feel any more miserable being here,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: so let's just go ahead and and kick rocks and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: get out. So yeah, we had a good twelve hour
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: trip to Chicago.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's cool. I like Chicago a lot.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when it's not cold.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I've never been there when it's freezing.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Don't don't go Siberia. I ever heard of it? Uh yeah, yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it's like that same. It's brutal. I love Chicago, but
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: brutal in the winter.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Food is so good.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Though. We did our draft of teams. So I've been
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in this league the last couple of years. I've talked
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: about on the show, but I give a quick recap,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and it's me and five other guys, five other teams,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: six people, and you each draft six teams and every
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: time you team wins, you make money. Every time your
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: team loses, you lose money. But it gets hard around
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: rounds three, four, and five to get teams that are
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: good because they're all just gone. And the first year
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I did, I lost like two thousand dollars. Second year
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: lost like a few hundred bucks. Thirty year, last year
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I made like four thousand dollars. Yeah, and I don't
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: think I figured it out, but I had a strategy
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: going in because I've played it a couple of times,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and so on this show, it's like you guys want
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to get in, but there's no limit to what you
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: can lose, but there's also no limit to what you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: can gain. We had Matt stell on, who's our friend,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, somebody lost like ten thousand
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: dollars one like ten whatever it was. So you guys
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: decided to come in at twenty five and twenty five
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: percent yep, and I'm fifty percent. So I text everybody.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, the draft is at eight o'clock of
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: these teams, and you guys be on text and I'll
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: try to update you as we're going. But it moved fast,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and so Kevin's like, I'm putting the babies down and
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I got to shoot some influencer videos. Oh no, some
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: drink station, yeah, priorities. And Eddie's like cool, Well I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: knew Kevin was with the kids. I said, Eddie the zoom,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: lenk just hop on the zoom that I'm on when
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: we do the draft. So Eddie gets on the zoom
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: so he's able to text without me even texting him,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: like he's listening in. And at first you bid on
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: who gets to pick their draft slot. So I've done
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: this a few times now and I know you can
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: get a pretty good draft spot for pretty cheap early.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm like two hundred bucks, I want to pick
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: my spot, and they're like great. So I picked the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: third spot because it's snake draft.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: So if I had to pick first, you get a
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Buffalo or Baltimore or whatever, and then you have to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: wait till pick freaking twelve. Right, So I pay two
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: hundred bucks and I get spot three because I feel
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: like there are three teams in that A tier. We
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: paid two hundred, right, No, I paid one hundred and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: pay fifty fifty. You don't have to pay. It happens
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: at the end of they put it on your bill
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: or take it off your bill. Okay, So what are
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you thinks that three teams are on the A tier?
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: The eight tier would be in my in my mind,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: you get there, it could be more, Okay, Buffalo, Baltimore,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: in Philadelphia.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Kansas City.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say Kansas It's I'm not trying to
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: be a hater.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But oh yeah, you hate Kansas City. I forgot because
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: they threatened the Patriots.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: But it was between Philly and Kansas City, if that helps.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, So in Philly you could put in the eight
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: tier for sure. Yeah, I didn't because you know, my
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: friends a Cowboys fan, and I respect that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Yeah, and I was watching too.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: So I get the third pick and I'm like, boom so,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: first pick Buffalo figured, second pick Baltimore figured. I'm like,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here, I'm gonna ta Kansas City. So I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: take Kansas City, feeling good about that. Had kan City
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: last year made me a lot of money. So four
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: or five six happens. Then it goes six five, four
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to three back to me and I'm ready to take
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the Packers, which, by the way, I was looking at
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the odds Super Bowl odds for this year Buffalo and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Baltimore at plus six hundred of the leaders Philadelphia, then
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs, then the Packers, then the Lions, then the Commanders,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: then the forty nine ers. Well, so I was like,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I think the Packers, but the Bengals are all. I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: was telling Ddie beforehanded, somebody's probably gon take the Packers,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: but if they don't, we should take the Packers. If
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they take the Packers, take the Bengals. And he's like, Bengals,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I like Cincy, and I'm like in my mind, I'm going, man,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I would take the Packers, but I like Cincinnati too,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: And I just sent the text, no, no, no, you
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: were fighting for the I sent the text.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I was like, I like Cincinnati.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: And then it came to Bobby and the Packers were there.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Were there. You should have heard his voice. He was like, yeah,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah, we'll go Bengals. Oh no, I didn't
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: want to not give you guys a voice.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Would you have gone Packers? Yes, yeah, yeah, just based
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: on pre season and expectations.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Absolutely anything. I mean, I love Joe Burrow. Their offense
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: is awesome. But anything you know about the Bengals are
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: the first four weeks, are probably gonna lose three games.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: They didn't make the playoff last year.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: They didn't make the playoff last year.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: They played great at the end.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they almost squeaked in.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: They don't have a defense. I think the Bengals are
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good this year. I do. And also
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in their division, I who knows what captain with Pittsburgh,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the brown suck, yeah, man, but the Ravens are really
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: good m hm. And so that's all the division, right, yeah?
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: So I and I'd look back and I said to him, Hey, Packers,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: if they're not there to take the Bengals, what do
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you think. I just want to say that I agree. Look,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: if I being honest, I just wanted them to go,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: like I agree. Yeah, but he didn't, and I respect that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I respect because you guys are putting money in for sure. Yeah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: so I said, Okay, Bengals, and I'll be rooting hard
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: for the Bengals. And I hope I'm wrong.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I hope, I hope I'm right. Gosh, I hope I'm
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: right because I'll.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Never hear the end of it. You won't, I will not.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I hope they both could win though too good. It
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be one or the other. So, but
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that's that situation on that So it goes over to
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the Bengals and wraps back around. And I believe in
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: round three I took the Bucks.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, at that point, there was no like Eddie, what
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: do you think? It was just like I got this,
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: I got this, get a drink, whatever you want, dude.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: At round three, I took the Bucks. I feel like
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they play in a week division love that one. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: feel like they can. Yeah, I just like the Bucks. Yeah,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I died too, and then great offensive line, especially when
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: they come back fully healthy. Yep uh. And then round four.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: There aren't a lot of teams left. After round three,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you're talking about eighteen teams gone. Now they're picking teams
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to lose as well, because you pick a team to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: lose and if they lose. But the problem with picking
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: teams to lose is once the playoffs start, you can't
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: make any more money except for maximum one time. If
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: one of your good team makes it and then loses,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and you pick them to lose, but probably didn't pick
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a good team. It's the whole thing. You don't really
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So I picked. I took the Patriots in your honor. Now,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: you didn't tell me to do that, so I'm not
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: gonna blame you. But I no, I didn't know, so
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: our four and then I tried the old trick again.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter because they're off the board. I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: have Miami Dolphins to lose, Miami Dolphins to win, So
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that's they're dead. Yeah, they kncel each other out right, Yes, Okay,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: so we have four teams, made them all to win.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: We really need three of the four to win. Every week.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I was wondering if you picked the Patriots, Like if
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: I had any influence on that.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah for sure, but not so much that I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: irrationally just jumped into the Patriots. There were no teams left.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: It was around that time, and I thought, okay, there's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: like four teams I think are about the same. And
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, I think Kevin would like it if
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: since they're all the same. In my mind, if I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: went with the Patriots because we're already it makes us
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: root for them too. Yep, I love it, and you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: have a Patriots had one to pay perfect thank you.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: So those are our four teams.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, I feel pretty good.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I've never rooted for those four teams ever in my life.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys were only picked once and to lose. Yes,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the first year that's ever happened. Somebody always picks them
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to win. They were never picked to win. They were
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: only picked to lose. They're playing tonight. How do you feel?
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: I feel great? I just I feel so good. I'm
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: just so glad season starting. This is an exciting feeling.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Dude. Eagles eight and a half point favorite.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Not worried about it, that is, I don't think we're
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: gonna it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Does it does keep going up? Oh?
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be if it's still eight and a half
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna bit heavy on the Cowboys.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: I think it started at seven, it's seven and a half.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: That was yeah ago, and now it's it'll be nine
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: by the time the games.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a lot in the NFL.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you this too. I am on such a heater.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Did you hear my baseball story or no?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: No, no, tell him?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Were doing the show, the podcast? On the show, I
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: need to beat this cowboy real quick, had a boy
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I did? They're still plus eight and a half.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm go.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, dude, it's gonna be closer than that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta think.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think we'll win the game.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Oh god, if he's thinking that, I don't have that
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: it anymore. I don't think we'll win the game. But
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it's got to be closer than that.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: So much in the NFL, it is okay.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put two and fifty bucks on Cowboys plus
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: eight and a half. Let's go. Last night we had yeah,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the DraftKings you can use in NOI we get there
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and Eddie's betting on every bat.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: The Cubs is awesome. Ever strike next.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: As soon as we get there, he goes, we should
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: bet first inning, and I'm just there. I love the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Cubs and a regularly with my boys, got great seats,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: get hooked up with great seats and just enjoyed it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Got a couple of hot dogs. And he's like, no,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it's just this bet.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: I don't really I don't.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I don't really need that. But he I guess why not, right,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You're in it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Awesome.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: So he's beat and he's bet we go no runs
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: first inning. Now I'll say it again for the sake
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of the story. Obviously, I want the Cubs to win,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: but we both bet no runs first. Braids come up,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: go down, one, two, three. We're like halfway there, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: for the first time I live, I'm rooting against the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Cubs to score. And the bottom halving the first quietly,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and so we're watching and you know, ground out, pop fly,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: pop fly, and then strike out, and we were like,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: you know, in your Cubs gear.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: So hey, I even I even went over the top
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: of like, I was all right, boy, we'll get a
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: mixed tap mixed up.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: We're sitting like right behind the plate and we were like,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: so I've got like one hundred fifty bucks made one
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: hundred fifty bucks.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Nice, So I don't really bet anymore. But I'm watching
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Eddie over there, just tinkering away, like just got trying
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to predict it. I live Santana home run. He's bet
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: like one dollar. He's like, if I hit this, I
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: went forty dollars.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And So a couple endings go by and it's zero
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: zero and I've eating amal hot dogs.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: You're watching me.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Why not if fun, it'll give us something to talk about,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it something bind about. And so come in. So I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: bet on a couple, win a couple. First inning. I
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: think I make like one hundred bucks or something overall,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: because I bet like fifty bucks here or twenty five
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: bucks here. Next inning, I'd made a little, but I
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna bet two hundred bucks on a single. Now,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: it can't be a double triple home run. It can't
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: be a ground out, it can't be a strikeout, it
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: can't be a walk back. It's gotta be an exact single.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: So i'bout two hundred bucks single, made a thousand bucks.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Shut up?
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. We jumped up like we just the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: power ball.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, hey, and it was up in the air.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: He just hit it short. So they just hit the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: gap flow flow float land there. Because it was a single,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: it was awesome.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: It was so that is awesome, amazing.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: It's amazing, especially because it wasn't like right away you
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: knew it as a single, like if there's some build
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: up to the ball in the air.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: And we were there, like how often do you get
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a big hit when you're actually there right off of
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: something so random? So random, it was crazy.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: That's amazing.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not gonna lie even.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: I was like Cowboys tonight, but I've been high.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I've been hot hot, so because I crushed last week. Listen,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not a good better. I'm a fine better. I'm
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: an average better. I would say not a bad better,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: but not a good better. So I don't think what
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I say is the gospel. I'm not that guy. I
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: don't have stone cold locks. I'm pretty hot right now.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Right the Cowboys plus.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Years ago, like first two months, you couldn't lose.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I won like ten individual in a row. Yeah that's good.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm back on that track. Oh so Cowboys plus
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: eight and a half, I love it, let's get it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I did want to do a couple of because I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: have college in NFL games I'm most interested in. I
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: want to go to college first. I have San Jose
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: at number seven Texas Texas a thirty six and a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: half point favorite. I'm so interested because I'm I I
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: just want to watch Arch again. You want to see
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: him shine. I want to see him try to build
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a career, like like fairly try to be a quarterback
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and not have to play the number one team in
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the country. Well Texas was number one Tech, yeah, Texas one,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: but not I played like the defense in the country's
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: first game, and then everybody jump on him. I hate that.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Arch. I hate it, Mike, I hate
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: it so much. I love it. I like Arch. I
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: think it's because I like the Mannings in general, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: so I'm rooting for Arch.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: No, you're not rooting for Arch the Longhorn.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I hate Texas.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: You're just rooting for them.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Rooting for Arch Man I am because I hate when
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: people jump on somebody and go they're done, write them off.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It was like, that's why I became such a big
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Kaitlin Clark fan, because she was obviously awesome coming out
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: of college at Iowa. But I wasn't like I'm so,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: but everyone's like, there's no chance she's gonna do this,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and it was just like NonStop dragging. And then she
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: started the season. It wasn't hot because I came right
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: off right out of college a the WNBA people were
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: killing her, and I was like, I'm in. I couldn't
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: root harder for Kaitlin Clark, and so I became big
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark fan. I'm rooting for arch Ope Art throws
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: for five hundred yards and Texas loses. Yeah, I want
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a jersey, So that game I'm interested in. I mentioned
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: in Oklahoma State at Oregon. Now Oregon's a twenty eight
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorite, but in one of the pressers,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: they go to Dan Landing and they're like, you know,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: oh Gundy, he said, you guys spent forty million on
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: your roster, and then Dan Lanning just slides into it
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and goes, you know, we do invest a lot in
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: winning here at Oregon, and I feel like the teams
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that don't invest a lot in winning, because you can
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: invest a lot in winning, or you can not invest
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a lot and have an excuse for losing. And I
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: was like oh he he took him out to the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: wooch Eden in a very nice way. Yes, And so
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: they're playing each other. I can't wait for it. That's awesome.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: And Oregon's probably gonna serve it up. Yep. And I
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: like Okahoma State and I like Gundy. But I thought
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that I liked that crying about money, like Oregon doesn't
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: have anything unfair. If you're crying about something unfair, I
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Nike, but yeah, that's not unfair. Everybody can have a Nike.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: He boom pickens dead. But billionaire built their stadium? Had
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: they have all the nice facilities? Like everything at different times?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Was that guy? What did he do? Oil Man? Oil Man?
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Oil Man?
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: You still have his number?
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Every single texts.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I don't text anybody. I don't want text me. I
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: don't want bother people want bother people. I could, but
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you don't. I got the power of I could. I
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: got two other games college wise, Arizona State at Mississippi State.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: This is interesting to me because will Arizona State and Dillingham.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: They're a top fifteen team. They had a great end
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: of the year last year. They lost the Texas in
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the playoff obviously, they're playing in nexts C school in
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a NETSC stadium that is not supposedly good. But they
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: are on the slight rebuild and I like them now
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: because I watched any given Saturday. I like the coach,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I like Levy. I think both of those teams are
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: going to see who they are.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited for that one too.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Like Mississippi State, they played Southern miss It was pretty
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: close for a while. Yeah. That that game is interesting
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: to me for a lot of reasons. It's a big
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: twelve school, it's a nexts C school, It's a team
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: on the come up, Arizona State like on a national level,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a prominent level, with a coach who Now like the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: darling because he's like the youngest I think he's nine,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: yeah years old. Yeah, he's been on the show too.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, forgot about him on last year during the playoff.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: That's right, That to me is fun. But the big
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: game is Michigan at Oklahoma. Two top twenty teams, two
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: legendary teams. You got a five star quarterback and Bryce
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Underwood at Michigan who played pretty well last week they
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: played New Mexico. I'm going from memory here. Look good
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: eighteen years old, just turned eighteen. Five star kid, and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: they're going to Oklahoma. And Oklahoma has a possible Heisman
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: contender at quarterback. You know, the offensive coordinator and the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: quarterback both came down from Washington State. So Oklahoma is
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: almost a touchdown favorite because they are playing in Oklahoma.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: But that that game is interesting to me because it's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: going to allow a lot of things to settle. How
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: good is Bryce Underwood when he's not supposed to be
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Is that good? And he's supposed to be good but
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: he's eighteen.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he doesn't have the like the hype that arch
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: nobody does. Nobody to that standard though, I'm saying, because
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: he is still like he plays for Michigan and they
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: had a down year last You're Oklahoma also had it
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: down yere.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bad down.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: So both those teams are gonna show something. I always
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: roote for the SEC team in situations like this, and
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: then because it's my family's team, I root for them obviously.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: But that should be a good game, obviously, Arkansas, Arkansas State.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: You nobody cares about that, but us we shouldn't even think.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: We don't e think we should play it. We've never
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: played them in the history of football. It's first time
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: ever and we're playing them a crappy Memorial stadium in
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Little Rock. I respect the stadium. Been to a bunch
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of games that rush the field, but it's like, we
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: shouldn't play games off campus. But it's actually closer for
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Arkansas State than it is for Arkansas, and it's an
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Arkansas home game. There's really nothing you can get positive
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: from it because if they even play close, they're like, hey,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: look at us, We're close to the big school. It's stupid.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: So I hope we win and move on. Thinking about
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: going to the ole Miss game next week at ole Miss.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, what are they playing ole Miss?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Arkansas.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: If they were going to Oregon, that'd be weird. I
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: don't know why even a random ole Miss game. If
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: it's a solid result this week and make go to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: ole Mess.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: That's cool, I've heard. Great, Yeah, that's I heard.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'll invite some people. I don't
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: even have tickets yet.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: We give them shout outs on the anywhere you go.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not doing interviews, but would if I do
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: an interview when they're not looking here? NFL wise, Cowboys
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and Eagles tonight. Very interested in that game for a
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: lot of reasons. But our money is not in this
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: game though, No, not our money, but our private money
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: is yeah, private money. The chess isn't our community chess.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: That'll be fun to see just what the Cowboys do.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: They're gonna throw a lot. Is it because they're going
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: to be down?
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Is it a let's see how bad they're going to
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: be or let's see I think it's a let's see
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: dot dot dot.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all of that, all the above.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: You know what's stack up.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: To going for you is your expectations are just so low?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're pretty neutral. Do I think that
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: this is our They were low week ago?
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: No? No, no, you're not shifting. You quit them last week.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Is this our year? Possibly?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: No no, no no no, you quit them last week,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: you fully quit them. Now you're neutral, and now you're
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: back to positive.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: You wear a hat, been a week.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I got that hat back on. That's a quick change, baby,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: You're so stupid. He even changed like in the mid paragraph.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: It's like neutral. That could be our year. We'll see
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: what I say to Mark? Can you imagine, man, I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: win the Friday night game? Our team, the Chiefs our team.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: It's hard to say.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I know, I've never said that in my life.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: You have, I know, I know, Hey, if they win,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: you know, at least I'm getting some money out of
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: not at least you got a root for yea.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: They're playing in Brazil. Oh, this is the Brazil and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: it's only on YouTube. What the dude? This is gonna
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: get bad? Oh my gosh, like YouTube? Whi itse like
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Logan paula quarterback?
• 31:49

• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Like what do you mean bad?
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Like to view it?
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't have YouTube? Like is it? Everybody has YouTube?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: You just go to YouTube dot com. It's not YouTube TV.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I believe it's just because because.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: Last year I had to get peacock and then cancel
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: it when just to watch the Chiefs game.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Would you mind looking it's just YouTube?
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah I thought so. So I just go to YouTube
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I don't have the internet, No dude, Okay,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: well it's it's everywhere.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Well that's easier then.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Okay. So I have those two games, and then obviously
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: my favorite team is the Panthers. Oh yeah, Panthers are
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Jags and then just Raiders of Patriots it's gets a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: litt Kevin gets our game. Now we're rooting for the party.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: So that's good. Bucks at Falcons should be interesting.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, you need them to win, Yeah, you need that.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And also for that that division. That's a quick division game.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Huh yeah, and probably the top two you think would
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: be in that division hunt.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, yeah, I hope the Bucks are Falcon
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: is the favorite to win the division?
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Are they really?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Which is weird?
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Who are Bengals playing?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: The Bengals are playing the Browns. Let's go and they'll
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: play them twice this year? I know. We like that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Dolphins at Colts, that's that's like the worst game of
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the weekend.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's bad.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: It's bad. Cardinals at Saints also pretty bad. There's at
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: least one team who's kind of okay.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Cardinals.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Steelers at Jets. That's the Aaron Rodgers Bowl. He plays
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: for Steelers, Yes, yes, yes, he plays with Steelers, used
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: to play for the Jets. There you go. Giants at Commanders.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if the Cananders could be
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: good again. I think they are. Panthers and Jags. My
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Panther team the whole life been rooten Titans the Broncos
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: forty nine Ers at Seahawks should be interesting. Oh yeah,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and then we get to like the good games. The
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Lions at Packers will be awesome, yes, or at least
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: on paper it should be awesome. Uh, Texans at Rams
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: should be good. On what's up with Stafford?
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Like how bad is that? Yeah?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Like if backs always hurt him?
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I feel like he's always hurting. Something's always hurting.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: And then Ravens and Bills. That's a big boy. Is
• 33:49

• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, no, it's going to be the Chiefs.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: It could be. It could be. But I'm saying that's tight, tight, tight.

  Speaker 1: Now, let's go over and talk with ESPN Senior writer,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: New York Times best selling author Seth Wickersham. He's got
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: a new book coming out called American Kings, a biography
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: of the quarterback that you can order now on Amazon.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: It actually comes out on Tuesday, and he talks all
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: about the quarterback position from way old school people to
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: people of today. Great writer at Seth Wickersham. Here he is,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Seth Wickersham. All right, Seth Wickersham is on with us,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and we were just talking about the book. Seth. By
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the way, again, it's American Kings, a biography of a quarterback,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: which you can pre order, but it's not even like
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a pre order because it comes out so soon that
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: it's almost the same time. If you order it now,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: you'll get it basically when the book comes out.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: Right, Absolutely, great to see you, man, good to be here.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, congratulations on the book. I think this is great.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: It's super timely. Let's talk about Arch Manning for a second.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: And you know you write about how how ruthless the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: recruitment was, how did they settle on Texas.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: So, Michael, with the book, you know, what I wanted
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: to do was show what it's like to do this
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: very uniquely American job, very unique American responsibilities at like
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: every level from current high school to college, pro, retired
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: Hall of Famer. And Arch was interesting to me because
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: you know, it was a window into this entire iconic
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: quarterback family. And so I was able to kind of
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: like or I was hoping to try to tell the
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: entire Manning story through Arch and specifically through Arch's recruitment,
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: and it got so competitive. I think that, like even
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: being there, it was interesting just to see, especially in
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: the NIL era, how hot it got for Arch. You know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: I think that it came down to Alabama, Georgia, and Texas.
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: The reasons why he picked Texas were I think they
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: were pretty wise. I mean, in no particular order. Number one,
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: Steve Sarkigian he's the play caller and the head coach,
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: so he's not going anywhere. He's not going to be
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: one of these guys who gets poached to be a
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: head coach somewhere else. Number Two, he really liked that
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: Texas might you know, was going to be a team
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: on the upswing, and here's a chance to win a
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: national championship there. It kind of helped elevate it. He
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: liked that it was at school that had a ton
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: of talent, and I think after being at eastid or Newman,
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: which is obviously a pretty pretty small school in New Orleans,
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: he wanted to be on a team that had, you know,
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: other five star players. And then finally, and this is
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: the one that I personally find the most interesting, is that,
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: you know, Austin's a big enough city you don't even
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: call it a college town. It's a city that he
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: thought he could be pretty anonymous there. And that, to
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: me is the most interesting aspect of it all, because
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: here you have arch Manning and you know, member of
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: like you know, football Royalty, and you know, part of
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: the reason why he picked Texas was because he thought,
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: and we'll see how well that works out, that you know,
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: he could be anonymous there. And I think that, like
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: even some of the reporting of my book, you know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: shows that like that itself was was too difficult to
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: ask for.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: How influential were Archie, Cooper, Peyton eli All in Archer's
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: recruitment and actually helping him achieve his destination of Texas.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: He did it himself.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: And I think that like they're all really really hyper
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: aware of looking like they had a hidden hand. And
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: Nelson Stewart, you know, so arch is sophomore year. Obviously
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: they realized he was going to be a top prospect.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: So Nelson Stewart, the head coach at Newman, and Cooper
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: man to get together and they try to think about
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: like how they want this recruitment to look like. And
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: this is looking like staring at a tsunami from a distance, like,
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: there's no stopping this thing. And so Cooper said, I
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: want this to be a nineteen seventy five recruitment and
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: Coach Stewart was like, what do you mean? And Cooper
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: was like, I want you to run point. I want
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: you to be the gatekeeper. And we're not going to
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: take offers. We're not going to be posting on social
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: media every time a school offers to us how grateful
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: we are. We're going to do things a little bit
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: different to try to give Arch as semblance of a
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: normal high school life and you know, maintain his love
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: of the game. And I think that's really important. And
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: so it was Arch driving things and obviously, like the
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: family members, you know, could weigh in when they wanted.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: But you know, they went to University of Virginia, where
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: arch Is older sister made goes. And as they were
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: walking around campus, Cooper was like, look, you know, this
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: isn't a bad choice. You know, it's a beautiful campus,
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: great school. You know, it's not football crazy, and I
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: think that like, maybe your life could be more normal here.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: And you know, obviously Virginia wasn't a school that he
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: you know, ended up considering at the end of the day,
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: it was him that was driving this and he's the
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: one who decided on Texas really just like Peyton did
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: with Tennessee and even Eli. Did you know back in
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: the day.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: With Ole Miss you're right about Joe Namath then before
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: both of our time obviously, Joe Namath I think about
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine h him guaranteeing him wearing the fur coats,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: him being like in New York. But it was an
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: odd juxtaposition because he played at Alabama, like all of that.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: We didn't get to experience it, but we're only catching
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: it like through story, like folklore even and so yeah,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: what did you think of Joe namath cultural impact once
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: you started to really get into it at a deeper level.
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, look, all quarterbacks are cultural archetypes of
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: John Unitis and Joe Namath. I mean, like, those two
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: guys are huge pillars. And you know, as I show
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: in the book, there are other guys who who helped
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: set them up, especially Bob Waterfield. In the nineteen forties
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: he was married to Jane Russell. They were like the
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: first couples first, you know, the country's first power couple.
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: But really name it. It is, you know, a watershed
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: moment in so many ways. And it was interesting because
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: I've been with Joe Namath at events in New York
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: and I've been with him at one event at the
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: University of Alabama at the Stadium, and just my personal opinion,
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: I thought that he was way more revered, way more
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: sought after, almost looked like with a type of reverence
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: that was different when he was at Alabama rather than
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: the events in New York. I think that like Alabama
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: has such a a you know, a vast you know
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: history throughout college football, and obviously name it. It has
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: so much cultural template that he started once he was
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: with the Jets and kind of blossomed into you know,
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: this guy who first offered the idea of quarterback as
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: like a lifestyle. But at Alabama, you know, he said
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: that Barry Bryant said that he was the finest player
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: he ever coached. And I think that, like, you know,
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: when you listen to Joonamath talk about his career, I
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: think in a lot of ways, you hear him talking
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: about more joy when he was at Alabama than even
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: during his heyday in New York.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I remember when the story first broke when you were
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: talking about the book, when it first was Hey, this
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: is going to be a book that exists, and the
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams pre draft doubts came out like that had
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: to feel a bit like a tsunami a little bit,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: and people were, you know, and they all had opinions
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: on your opinion and also what you saw. Right, So,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: what's what's been the fallout and the follow up from
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: that story where you know it maybe Caleb didn't want
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: to go to Chicago.
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: Well, they looked at both Caleb and Carl Willilliams looked
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: at it really intensely. And I think that like one
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: of the things that we forget, you know, quarterback has
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: become so big in our in our culture and so
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: celebrated and mythologized that we think that they can do
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: everything on their own and in fact, like outside circumstances, context,
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: those types of things have a huge impact on how
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: successful quarterbacks are at the end of the day. And
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: so when you're looking at a team like Chicago who's
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: going to draft you, and they have such a poor
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: record of drafting quarterbacks, of developing them, of coaching offensive football.
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: For Christ's sake, I think that it is very reasonable
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: for the guy who's going to be the first pick
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: in the draft to say, like, is there anything I
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: can do? Are there any other options out there? Especially
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: because he visited with Kevin O'Connell, head coach of the
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: Vikings raining Coach of the Year at the Combine, and
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: they really hit it off, and so I think that
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: like what he was thinking of was like, is there
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: a way to get myself to Chicago to Minnesota to
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: work for coach O'Connell. There really wasn't. And at the
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: end of the day, the choices that he was faced
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: with was either go to the Bears or do what
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: John and Jack Elway did or Archie and Eli Manning
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: did and really create a situationuation that was completely untenable.
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: And he wasn't willing to go there. As he told me,
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: you know, I didn't want to nuke the city. And
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: I think that, like, you know, taking a step back here,
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, Carl had huge fears about Chicago. He told me,
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: you know, Chicago's where quarterbacks go to die, and he
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: really wanted his son. He was willing to be a
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: lead blocker for his son. If he wanted to nuke
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: the City. But you know, as Caleb told me later,
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: he wasn't really willing to do that, and it took
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: a year, but they got what they wanted, and that's
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: they have an innovative offensive mind whose success is tied
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: to Caleb Williams is. And you know, I think that
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: Caleb played well as a rookie. A rookie year is
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: largely about survival, and I think that, like, if I'm
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: a Chicago fan, I got to be pretty pretty bullish
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: right now on you know what's going to happen there,
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: because I think that he's going to do really, really well.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: So you think their mind has shifted because Ben Johnson
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: is now the coach.
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: Yes, So I mean, look, the first year played out
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: almost exactly to Carl's fears. And I mean, you know,
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: I'm not hating on the Bears here. The record is
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: what the record is. I mean, you know, they fire
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: their offensive court in or the head coach, didn't even
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: last the season. It was almost exactly what Harrel feared
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: most would happen to his son. But I think they've
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: got it right, and I think that, like, you know, again,
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: some people are kind of down on Caleb after his
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: first year. I mean, I wasn't like that I saw
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: him make. He was incredibly tough. For one thing, he
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: took a lot of hits and he always got back up.
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: And you know, I think he made some pretty phenomenal
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: throws in known passing situations, laid in games when they
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: were down. Those are the hardest situations in the NFL.
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: And so I think that, like there's a lot to
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: work on going forward. I do think that it'll take
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: some time, Like these things are never as automatic as
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: we want them to be. But I do think that
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: having a coach like Ben Johnson, who really changed Jared
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: Gobb's career, I think is going to be a great
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: thing for Caleb Williams.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: What did you learn about Patrick Mahomes as in more
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: than more of the nuance of Patrick Mahomes that we
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: don't get to see.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, Patrick's fascinating, right because he's you know, he's
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: so He's come on to the scene so quickly, and
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: you know, as a dynasty, so quickly, even in a
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: way that Brady didn't. I mean, you know, Brady wasn't
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: throwing fifty touchdown passes his first couple of years in
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: the NFL that you know, He's somebody I had to
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: look at and it not just become because he's become
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: like such a cultural phenomenon with everyone kind of copying
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: his haircut, but because I wanted to know how he
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: managed fame, because I mean, you know, fame in twenty
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: twenty five is much different than fame in two thousand,
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: and it's much different than fame in nineteen seventy. And
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: you know, he he leaned into his religion a lot
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: more than I think people realize. And I think that
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: like the challenge for what quarterbacking has become so big
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: that I think that like you have to almost how
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: you deal with fame and the pressure of playing the position,
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: I think is a makeup that's almost as important as
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: your ability to throw the ball. To be honest with you,
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: that's how big it's gotten. And in order to keep
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: your performance ahead of your notary, you have to have
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: something that grounds you. And that from Mahomes is religion.
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: Like I think that it catches people a little bit
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: by surprise that like someone so gifted, you know, roots
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: so much of his how do I put it, It's
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: like his his awareness in religion. And you know, sometimes
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: people roll theize when they talk about religion in sports,
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: you know, when it came to people like him and
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: her cousins, I wanted to take them at face value
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: and at their word and actually learn about how religion
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: helps them navigate. Again, what's a really tricky space.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like, and a bout what you just said
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: there is you know, what's the cost of being a quarterback?
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: And what are you going to sacrifice in order to
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: get these great things? What are some of the costs
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: that maybe we don't see, but they are really having
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: to sacrifice in order to get to this level.
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: I think that like we sort of like look at
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: the beautiful throw in the pressure situation and wonder how
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: they do that. And I think that like for them,
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: that's the easy part. It's everything else that comes with
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: it that's difficult, and how they manage that stuff I
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: think ends up being a huge thing. Look it is,
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: It is really really hard, and I think that you
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: have to study, you have to there's so much pressure
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: on you that I think that, like, these guys have
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: to create an ecosystem where they're kind of at the
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: center of it, and they're almost detached and separate and
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: isolated from reality in a lot of ways. As crazy
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: as that sounds, it's in that way. It's very similar
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: to like a politician or a pop star, whatever that
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: might be. They have to be at the center of
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: an ecosystem that you know, protects them and insecure. The
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: greater quarterbacks get, I found, the more they voll, they
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: volley between driving insecurity and almost like unreal confidence.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that, like.
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: It's one of the things that's like Even doing that,
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: even making that leap to saying, well, I'm willing to
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: be at the center of this ecosystem and have everything
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: revolved around me is difficult. Like you know, I spent
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: a lot of time with Andrew Luck over the years,
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: and that as much as the injuries, if not more,
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: I think is what drove him out of football because
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: I don't think he liked who he was as a quarterback.
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: I don't think he liked it being you know, Andrew's
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: World twenty four to seven. I think that when he
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: was injured and he wasn't playing football and he had
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: a chance to really examine himself, he was like, I
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: don't like who this person is. And I think that
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: like he tried to do it where he was a
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: quarterback and trying to be a different type of person
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: and that worked for a little bit, but it really
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: wasn't sustainable and at the end of the day, he
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: kind of picked himself more than the job. And so
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: that's those are the things I think are just fascinating
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: that fans don't see. I mean, quarterback is not a
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: job that you play, it's something that you are.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: When you wrote this book, obviously you consume yourself with
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks of past, present, and even we'll call arch Manning
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the future. Was the through line with all
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: of these guys that are super sick successful.
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: I think it's the willly It's the same thing that
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: allows the lead singer to step on a stage in
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: front of all these people with a microphone in front
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: of him.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: I think that you just have to have you know,
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: call it, you know, ego, confidence, ruthlessness, whatever it is,
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: to step on the stage and have everyone watch you
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: and know that even though you won't admit it. I
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: think that, like there's a part of these great quarterbacks
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: that think that they know more really than anyone else,
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: and they might be kind of superior in some ways.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: And that includes you.
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: Know, teammates that they really like in a door, and
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: even the head coach. I think that like they have
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: to figure out a way to again navigate this pressure.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: I mean when I it's not a history of the quarterback,
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: but I do have historical aspects of it. And when
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: I went back to nineteen oh six when the forward
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: pass was legalized in college football, I was thinking it
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: was going to be like a slow build to the quarterback,
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: kind of having its lofty cultural status, and instead it
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: went fast. I mean, we as Americans almost seem to
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: notice that the spiral, you know, a forward pass was
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: something very unique and mystical and magical and work worth mythologizing.
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: And you know, even like nineteen twenty one quarterback named
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: Bo McMillan at teeny Center College in Kentucky. They go
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: up to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and they beat Harvard. New York
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: Times called it the biggest college football upset of the
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: first half of the twentieth century. And he returns to
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: Kentucky and they threw him a parade, and the governor
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: was there, and the governor is saying, remember this time.
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: You know, politicians are about as high in cultural you know,
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: job as you can possibly have. The governor is saying,
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: I would do anything to trade places with this guy
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: right now, and you know, sure enough, soon his wedding
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: announcement is in the New York Times and you know
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: he's in Hollywood with Starlits and his life really took off.
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: And again that was relatively early, and so I think
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: that like from the moment those types of things happened,
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: things just changed for quarterback. When I was doing the
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: book down with Steve Young and we started listing all
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: of the hats that a quarterback has to wear, from
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: mattin a idol, to field general to astonishing asshole at times,
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: to amateur psychologists, all these things, and we stopped at
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: like seventeen, and frankly, like, I think we could have
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: kept going. And so it's just a different job than
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: anything else that really we offered American sports, and I
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: think global sports too.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: The book is called American Kings, A Biography of the Quarterback,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: out September ninth. You can get it on Amazon. One
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: question that's not super book related, I'm gonna ask about
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick because I know you spend a lot of
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: time covering Bill. Yeah, what do you think his office
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: is like? In Chapel Hill this week, Oh my god.
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, look, when when Bill Belichick loses a game,
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: that pain and that misery takes on it atmospheric type
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: of you know, presence, and you know when he's in
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: staff meetings, I mean, these things can go for hours
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: and he'll mumble at the lowest of his voice, so
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: that like every coach has to lean in and hear
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: him and listen to him talking about all of the
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: things that they did wrong and all of the things
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: that they have to do better.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: And so look, I think that like.
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: Today, Tomorrow, Thursday are not going to be very good
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: days in Chapel Hill. But the thing that's interesting about Bill,
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: for as miserable as he can be and as hard
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: as he can push his assistant coaches, I mean, he's
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: kind of fundamentally an optimist.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: And by Friday he.
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: Will change his tone and change his tune, and I
• 54:32
  Speaker 6: think that, like he'll be working really hard to put
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: his team not only in a position to win, but
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: to give them confidence. And I think that, like it's
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: one of the aspects of him that I think is
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: really underappreciated, and it comes from a place that's not
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: like Vince Lombardi or Newt Rockney. You know, it's a
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: brainier type of thing where he says, look, if you
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: do these things, this will put you in a decent
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: position to make a play that could change this game.
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, I thought that he was going to come
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: into college football, you know, coach like he was on
• 55:01
  Speaker 6: a war path and slap around Dabo Swinney's offense and
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: all these things. And I think that, like, look, there's
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: a big talent gap and there's a learning curve even
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: for you know, the greatest coach of the Super Bowl era.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Seth, really appreciate the time. I hope everybody checks out
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: American Kings, and I love your work just generally too,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: So good luck. I hope the book sells a ga
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: billion copies and hopefully we'll talk to you again soon.
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: Hey man, thank you. I love all the trinkets on
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: your desk, and I really appreciate your time, and thank
• 55:26

  Speaker 5: it is for the love. I don't get paid for it.
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: I don't get paid for it. But on Friday's boys,
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna be busy Friday nights. I'm part of the
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: chain gang for the high school football.
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was last minute.
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: You know a buddy of mine, he's been doing it
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: for like two years, and I think one of their
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: guys got sick. I wally pipped him. I said, dude,
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: I'm available, I can jump in. And I did it
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: on Friday night, and dude, I was pretty good at it.
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: The only time I screwed up one time?
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Which one do you do?
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Well both, because which way are you going on the field? Well,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: there's a marker holder. Yeah, I consider that part of
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: the chain gang. The marker holder is Doug.
• 58:00
  Speaker 5: That dude's been there for forty Oh you don't take
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: Dougs No, no, no, Doug's been doing this for like
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: forty years.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't do Doug's job.
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: I do either end of it. Am I the first down?
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: Or am I where the ball starts?
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: So how'd you screw up? Uh?
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: So when it was first in goal, I put the
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: marker on the goal line and the guy's like, throw
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: it on the ground.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, you don't need to because the goal line is
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: the marker, right.
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: I didn't think about it. I just thought like, hey,
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: maybe they need a reference guys the goals right here.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Danny, so about rookie move. But that's not like bad. Yeah.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: I was thinking like you gotta like chained up, like
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: all like caught up, you know what I mean, And
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: you had to break it out and pause the.
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: Game's that's a little nerve wracking because it's along the sideline.
• 58:38
  Speaker 5: So when you're right in front of the visitor team.
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: They could trip on the chain. A couple of times
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: they stepped on it, and I got to be like, boys,
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: watch the chain.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Wait, do you do the thing where if they're coming
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: over you just drop everything and move away. That's what
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: they told me to do. Don't risk it.
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: The first time, dude, there was a run that came
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: straight to me and I used the stick to guard it.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's the way it's supposed to do.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: It's not because it get hurt a player. Yeah, and
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: the stick bent, So now we may need to get
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: a new stick. So in your first game, you put
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: the stick on the goal line. Not that bad.
• 59:07
  Speaker 5: You shouldn't do that though, but you bent the stick.
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: I bet the stick the player hit it. Yeah, So
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: like the players came to me and they were and
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: I just kind of stuck it out.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Like a shield, like you were blocking yourself, yeah, from
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: the player by using the metal run.
• 59:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and they land them the bottom of the stick,
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: which then I let go of it. But by that
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: time they had already stepped the stick. And it's a
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: little warm. But they didn't teach you just if it's
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: coming over, drop it.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: They did. But dude, I mean it's so fast, you
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: can't really think that quick. Do you ever get distracted
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: and like you just start thinking about the things all
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: say like, oh God, because I think I would be
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, yeah, I mean, dude, you got to
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: stay in it.
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: I think the best part about it is that you
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: are in the visitors sidelines, so you're hearing everything.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Is there a way the chain gang could cheat in
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: high school? Absolutely?
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: How I mean, once you start realizing what green tomato
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: green tomato, Once you realize what green tomato means, and
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: when they call it, you could easily text because I
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: mean I have my phone out checking scores.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: Your check.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's why the player ran into the stick. Sure, yeah, dude,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a it's a high school game.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 5: They're boring times, and you're just like they're never It's
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: like it's like third and twenty, they're never gonna get
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 5: a first down and here they come and I'm.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: Like, oh crap, you're watching on TikTok. Yeah. Yeah, but dude,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: I think I have air pods in and he's got
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: air pods in over on the side watching tiktoks.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: I could easily text the other team and be like, yeah, dude,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: they're throwing green tomato every every third tomato.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: I don't remember. It's an example, but like when you
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: start figuring.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: Out the Connor Stallions of high school, he wears a
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: different dude. But it was cool, man, Like, I'm I'm
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: kind of excited about this. Did you get like a
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: little power trip a little bit? Did you wear the uniform? No? See,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: that's where I screwed up.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: And I don't know if I messed the test, if
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: I missed it in the text, but I wore like
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: a white flower shirt and like they were all with
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: the chin gang wore black.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, did you know you were going to
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: do it going into the game. Yeah, they text me
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: two hours for the game and you still wore a
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: flowered shirt. I didn't even think about it. I thought,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: you know what I thought.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: I thought they were gonna give me one of those
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: orange fluorescent bibs and they never did. So there was
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: with a flowered polo shirt and this is high school,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: high school man, big time. It was is cool, Like
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 5: you know, there was So we were on the visitor
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 5: side and some guy comes up to me. He's like, hey, man,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: so I do the chain gang for our high school.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: Like you guys are doing a great job.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you, man dang respecting my chain gang, Chin Gang
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: respect chain gang.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: Do they have the digital ones at all?
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what Doug carries. Doug carries the down okay,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: and he just follows the ref like wherever the ref
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 5: says the ball is. Doug goes to the ref, hits
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: the all he does, hit the button and he goes one.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Two, three, four instead of doing the flip.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: And he said to do as a game changer.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Did you ever have to go on and do a
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: measure Uh No, I never went out on the field
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: to measure. Uh uh the whole game. They never called
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: for a measurement.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: Next card, they can put it right in between the football.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Dude.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: What's crazy is like when when the quarters, when the
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: quarter shift happens, Like how.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: Do you like?
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: I was just kind of confused, like how do they know?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: Because you got to flip through this side of the field,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: but they've got to keep that same mark. And the
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: ref just does this thing where like he counts the links,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: puts his finger on it, follow me and he goes
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: all the way to this side. Kind of does a
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: little measurement and says, put it right there.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: Well, you should mark it on the on the thirty
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: five yard line, right, Yeah, we mark it on there,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: so then it's a thirty five on the other side.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit of math though, because he's got
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: to kind of move it exactly.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Where it was, like within one yard, Like there are
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: different places you can put it inside of one yard. Yeah,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: I guess he's finding that specific spot. Yeah, And we
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: can learn so much from you. The ref was on it.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: If you guys have any questions about doing the chain
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: gang or any kind of first down rules, like, let
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: me know.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think you know them yet. Number one rule,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: drop the Yeah, I would think as soon as someone's coming,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: drop it. Yes, they told me that because the one
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: it's not getting hit holds it, which holds it into
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: its place. It keeps its integrity. Yeah. If both of
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: them drop, what you don't need both of them to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: drop because they're ten yards apart. If both of them drop,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: you have a chance to loseure the integrity of where
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: the ball is, right, Yeah, but both But I mean.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 5: The time I stuck it out, I was the first down,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: so I felt like that runner needed to know where
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: to get to you know what I mean. I feel
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: like it would have been an injustice to drop the
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: stick a little premature before he knows where that yard
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: marker is.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Are they doing pylons and first downs as well? No?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Just me, man, dang all that pressure. Just me. The
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: way to the world is on you.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: Are you worried about getting hurt at all? Nah, I'd
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: be worried about somebody rolling.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Up on me. They did tell me that when you
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: have a force field a big metal pole from you,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: if you didn't get hit by anything, it's not that hard, though, dude,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like weak aluminum, I would think, so,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I hope so I thought it was like a big rod. Dude,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, with a big pat on it. But
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's just like a little weak flag. It's
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: just an aluminum stick. How could you cheat though not
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: passing along information? Could you manipulate Like, let's say your
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: team needs another half foot if you worked on the
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: same page with the person who is running where the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: ball started, you could have them like back up three
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: inches and you could slowly move yours three inches.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought they would check the tightness of the
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: chain a little more. They didn't, And there were some
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 5: times where I'd look over and like, do that change loose?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: I'm probably giving these guys half a yard right now? Yeah,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: so I could cheat like that, I can give them
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: a half a yard.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: Do you get paid? No? I did ask, but no,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: no pay, no payment. It's all volunteer work. Well they
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: get what they get then, yeah, I do get freak
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: concessions though, like, oh now we're talking. Yeah, led half
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: time I got it was free to get in.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: That's good, which which they didn't believe me because I
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: had that flower shirt on.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: I was like that promise, I'm working chaining?
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: How early did you have to show up?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: Just at noon? The lines he's running, he's doing runs
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: with the polls like int Like Kevin said, you got
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: to make sure that chain's not tied up. Yeah, but
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: you only do every other game right home, just home games. Yeah,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: because the home game supplies the chain game, so basically
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: every other game. How many is that total? Five or something? What?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: So are you bound to do it now? I like,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: what if something happens on a Friday? I said, look,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: put me on the list. I'm like, if you think
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: I did a good job. Put me in the list.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: I want to do this every every home game. And
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: they said, all right, well what about the guy who
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: normally did it? He's always going to do it. Oh
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: well the guy how Wally Pipps.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: There was I'm telling you. After the game there was
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: no talk of that guy. You think you did such
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: a good job. They forgot him.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: I think, So did you make friends with the guys
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: other than there's another one though.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Right, there's three?
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, my buddy, my buddy read. Okay, so my
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: buddy read. I'm not read a different read. But I've
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: known him for like three or four years, so so
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: Reid and I are tight. Doug though, Doug was tough
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: man like. It was almost like he looked me up
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: and down, like, who who do you think you are? Like,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 5: have you ever chained gang before?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: You to prove yourself? Yeah?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because Doug's been doing it forever.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Classic. Yeah, And I think Doug.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think Doug
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: was texting the updates to the newspaper.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: As it was going mm hmm, seems like a little
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: too many updates.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like every time, like they'd score like oya.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: But they don't have anybody there like reporting probably, but
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: I just every time we I don't think they have
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: the reporting manpower to put somebody at every game.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 5: Now and what's that? What's that website? The high school
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: max Preps. M hm, So maybe he was just sending them.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: And they may keep it updated then so people can
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: check scores live like max Preps. Yeah. M m, well,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: congratulations on your big gig. Thank you, dude. That's pretty
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: awesome moving up into sports world. Ok, many, it's pretty cool.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: Do you ever think it'd be fun to be a referee?
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: Like that would be cool, right, it's a lot of school.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I would only want to be a referee on the biggest,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: biggest of levels. When that doesn't work, it doesn't work
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: like that. It's like you said, I want only a
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Major League baseball player. No, No, you got to go
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: through rookie ball, you know.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: So, I don't know, dude. Rest seems like such a
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: stressful position. Like you said, you can't daydream at all.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: You don't think being a ref the NFL would be fun?
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 5: Like getting to be in it, see it, hear it,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: you know all the insides I think it would be
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: fun until they're like, Eddie, what is it, and I'd
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: be like, guys, it could go with Eddie.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: Runs off runs in the tunnel like Forrest Gump, Like
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: it's it's.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: Hard because I know there was this one play on
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: Friday Night when when there was a holding right and
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: it was like holding on on an offensive line was
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 5: holding and then the coach was yelling the holding was
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: right in front of you, and then the ref looks
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: of the coach like I only have two eyes. I
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: was looking at the runner, you know, and it's like, well,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 5: it's still your job, but I'm thinking, like that's tough.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: Everyone's just like the holding was right there, but you're like, dude,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: I was looking at the ball and not the hold.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: So you don't think it'd be cool to be NFL MLB, No, No,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: I think it too stressful. Man. Oh, I think that
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: would be so cool. I think it'd be fun to
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: like go to school to do that, Mike, you think
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: be fun?
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: I think that would be awesome.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't talk to the coaches, can't. Yeah, why'd this
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: guy even.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: Like but even like you know, you watch the college games,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: like their coaches are always just like talking to the
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: ref So you got to like somehow humor them.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a relationship. I guess you got. I wouldn't
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: just ignore them. Yeah, I ignore them completely all time
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: doing my job. I think they have specific ones on
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: the sideline judges who are there to actually communicate with
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: the coaches. That job becomes. Yeah, that would suck, especially
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: when you get somebody that just like Bob Petrino used
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: to just bite heads off. Nick Saban used to bite
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: heads off. So it's fun.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: Congratulations that was a weather guy when I was when
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: I worked the news, he would work Friday.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: He was a ref on Friday night. Jim Spencer, Oh, Jim.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: He was a weather man by day, by the during
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: the week, and then Friday night's he's a ref.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: That's awesome, that's cool. Kevin had a he says one
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: of the top three moments of his life. Eddie, do

• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: that had been cool.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: I would have posted that.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: Well maybe not. It has to do with golf. You
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: got a hole in one.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 5: Number one, your kids and okay, golf, he's gonna it
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 5: already happened.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: Did you play like a cool course? Where did you
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: guys play?
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: Cedar Crest Murphy's Okay, played that one.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: I don't even know that one.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: Honestly, it was a good course though. It was a
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: cool course.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, he got an eagle. Oh that had been pretty cool. Okay,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: so you're you're sitting the bar so high. That's the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: way he got a birdie. He got his first birdie.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: Guesses, baby's first.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: You can go ahead.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: I had a drive as straight as can be over
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: three hundred yards.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, okay, dude, you know that feeling, Hey,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: what's your what's your tone about?
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: You know that feeling you're not even pumped for me?
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: What's your tone? He had a tone. I'm curious to
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: know your tone.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he didn't care for three hundred yards. Okay, Like,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: good job, good job. It's probably gonna happen again. If
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: you did it once.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: See, I feel like he's downplaying it downhill when I'm
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: glad you, I'm glad you weren't there because everyone else
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: was stoked.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: We haven't had rain, and like, no, what were the
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: factors I'm asking you?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, it was just no downhill. No, maybe
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: a little bit of whin. I think some cross wind
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: was coming actually okay, yeah, and then it went right
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: through over the there's a tree line that came out
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: like halfway through the fairway, boom over the trees, tall trees,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: and then right over it's like three hundred eight yards
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: straight as can be.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've never done it. I don't I may
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: I think in the history of your golf. Probably hit
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: a car path something kept rolling. Oh that's a good point.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: But a legit three hundred yard drive that this is legit,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: that's not in my arsenal.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: It was my best day of driving by far all around.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: All around. Yeah, I only had like four bad drives
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: probably wow. Yeah, and I had like five, I had
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: four really good ones in a row, and that was
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: the best one.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: So, as you said, you went over trees, So was
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: this kind of just like you had to go that way?
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: If you were gonna Yeah, it was either like you know,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: hit to the right of the trees a little bit
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: and go around, or just go straight over the trees.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: To be honest with you, I was just hitting it
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: and it went over the trees. I did not expect
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: to do that, but it went right over the trees.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: I mean it was a monster shot.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: I will say that Kevin's drive, I mean he them
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: play very well.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: But the driver he struggled with the driver, I.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: Do was there a reason taking a shot out? I know,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: I know, I think. So what does he normally shoot?
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: In your opinion?
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: Over one hundred one ten around?
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: No off that high?
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, one one oh five, one on one may yeah,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: I mean it's over one hundred okay, sure, And so
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: I've played with Kevin and the drivers left right straight.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: I always slice it. Yesterday when we played it was
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: it was on dude on. I've never seen it like.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: This, So I guess this is cool for him. It's
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: the start of something.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: It's so much more fun when you can drive.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: For you, yeah, it is, Yeah, that's true. Well, congratulations,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: what do you think do? What do you think about? What?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: What's the question you're asked? Three hundred and whatever yard drive. Okay,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: I think he's an athletic guy. If he's having a
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: good day driving and he's swinging really hard.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: Sure, it's just a great feeling, you guys know when
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: you get ahold of it.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a great feeling. I thought you had,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: like an eager I think I don't only think it's
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: a top three moment for you though, I mean at
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: the time, Yeah, I think it's probably a top seventy
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: seven hundred moments for you.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, somewhere in there between three and seven hundred.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: How much golf do you play? We haven't played a week.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: How much do I play?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: I've only played twice this year. That was on my
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: second time.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: And how did that round get together?
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: I have family in town, my brother.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: I thought you were with Ray. Huh uh did you
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: not play golf with Ray? No at all.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: No, I haven't played with Ray like two years.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: See something. Maybe Ray and Pitts were playing golf together.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, I played with Pitts my brother. My brother
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: doesn't look like oh is my brother and dad?

• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Pitts, my brother and my dad.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: How does that round get together?
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: My dad and brother in town and we're like, we
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: got to play around in golf. We had a nice
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: Sunday and then Pitts plays a lot of golf, so
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: I was like, you want to come with it?
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: He was our fourth. How hard is it to get
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: on that course day of or day before? I booked
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: it a week in events, so that's why I was
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: packed up there.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: It was. It wasn't that bad. We had okay, we
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: actually had this guy's this group behind us right. This
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: guy hit into the opposite fairway and then we were
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: waiting to hit for him to hit up, and he
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: hit up and he had another really bad shot. Dude,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: this guy threw him. I'm not kidding. He happy gilmour
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 4: his club back to his car. He threw it at
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: his cart from like twenty yards away. I've never seen
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 4: somebody that mad.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: I don't get that.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: The weirdest part about people to throw clubs is they
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: usually aren't good golfers anyway, so you don't expect to
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: How can you expect to be good when you aren't
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: good anyway?
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: And then the next hole they hit up on us.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: Like I can understand if you were a pro golfer
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: and you wanted to throw clubs because you probably don't
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: hit that many bad so when you do, it's a
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: shock to your system. So what do you do when
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: you're shocked? You throw a club. But like Lunchbox, he's
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: not a great golfer. No, he throws his clubs. It's like,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: what do you expect? You always suck?
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, Like I would never throw my clubs because
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what do I expect?
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: Well? And then plus they're expensive. Yeah, that's like you're
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: throwing money. I know, you're damaging money.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: That's what I thought. I was like, dude, you're not
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 4: getting free ones if you break that one, you're not sponsor.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: You're not sponsored by how bad you are. So this
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: guy hit on you, guys.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then the next hole he hit on us.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: I think we think he was so mad that he
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: was playing so bad, and then he hit up on
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: us on the next hole. I'm not kidding, like five
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: feet behind my brother we were walking off the green.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: Was it the same hole though? Did he hit three
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: hundred yards too?
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: No, he couldn't do it.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if it's just the hole maybe,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: And he did it.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: So get this. He did it right in front of
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: the Marshall, literally sitting on that hole watching all of us.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: He did it right in front of the Marshall and
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: so we turned around like hey, what the f blah
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: blah blah, you know, and then the Marshall came up
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: and he's like I saw that happen, Like I'll talk
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: to him, like okay, like come on man, we look back.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: He literally has his arms around the guy. It's like
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: the Marshall knows the guy. We're like, okay, well what
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: do we do?
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: And plus the marshals like what are eighty years old?
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: He would yeah, but it's like what do we Like?
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: We were pissed, but then we were having such a
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: good time. We don't want to throw in our moods.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: So then the next hole we just kind of sped
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: up and then we never had any problems after that.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: I get triggered and people hit on me, yes that
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: we were all true. I mean we were having such
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: a good time seven holes in and then got triggered.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pissed. I worked on a golf course and so
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: it did maintenance on a golf course, so people were
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: hitting on me. Is a little traumatic the workers would
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: just get tagged with balls and so without anybody even
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: because we had to water our green specific if he
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: got really hot because there was on hydration what's the
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: word with the water system, irrigation, thank you the irrigation system.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: Ninety five percent of the time. Let's they got really
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: hot and it couldn't keep up. So we had to
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: go out real quick, stop it, going to golf cart,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: plug it in and spray the greens of the water.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: And obviously we're on the green right with the hoes
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: on the green, and they would still hit on us.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: I saw guys heads get whacked like cut.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: They would even like make sure you're looking at them
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: And like the foot, you got hit the foot and
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: like the foot, or I'd be like weed eating or
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: something on the side and people would hit. So I
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: have a little PTSD with getting hit with the golf balls.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: But once we were all playing in Austin and it
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: was me, Eddie, a couple of our friends at my course,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: and these guys kept hitting on us, and so we
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: got up to this hole and they hit on us
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: again and it was like four and so I'm pissed.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: So I'm like all right. If this, if I have
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: to fight, I guess I will. I don't want to.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fighter, but I'm gonna have some words
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: because I'm pissed. And so they're coming at me and
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm standing there and I got my boy behind me,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, we're gonna fight. I guess we'll fight.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: And they're coming and I'm like, you guys got to
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: stop it. And I look back and my boy's driven
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: off and left me. Oh no, Bobby was all alone,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: no clubs, no boy, what the heck? He's like two
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: hundred yards down in the golf dry and I'm like,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm about to get whooped by four dudes. Yeah,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: because talking crap on a golf course is cool when
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: you have a foursome. Yeah you got in your hands,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, you got back up and you got clubs.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: And I didn't need all four people. I just needed
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: at least one with some clubs. Yeah, because I was
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: having a word. And I look back from my sipo,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well sorry all alone, you guys have
• 1:18:38
