  Speaker 4: Don't delay. Friday's Spiritless Football Forecast Contest.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: America's Most Loved Football Pickup Contest, a division of Sports Talk,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and presented by Chad Jones Law and Zwirneman Flooring. Coming up,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we're going to hear from Mike Elko, part of his
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: conference yesterday. I will remind you that I want to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: repeat this because it was too good not to. Eli Drinkwitz,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Missouri coach, was asked again about Abad Hardy, the All-American
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: running back who has not played this year, suffered a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: gunshot wound in the summertime. Said Drinkwitz, laughingly, it might
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: be reported, contrary to what's on the cesspool of message boards,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: there's no update.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: He hasn't begun a two-week ramp-up.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: If he practices, I promise I'll tweet it out. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: won't even get it to Pete Thamel. We'll just do
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it ourselves. One of the great quotes of the year.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I've got to say, one of the great quotes of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the year. I don't, you know, my guess is only
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: coaches that have a relationship with with Coach Elko will
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: make that reference. That's just my guess. My guess is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you won't hear Sarkeesian make that reference. Because as we
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday, there's one game left on this team's schedule
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And we all know which one it is. Kamario Taylor
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: is hurt.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's bad for Mississippi State.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: That's bad for us. This kid was fun to watch.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: He was being mentioned as a possible Heisman candidate early
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in the year. But he hurt his foot in the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: win against Missouri September 27th. And tried to play through
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it against Alabama. Went to the locker room after that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And Jeff Levy says, wait until the Wednesday injury update
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to see about his availability. That's never good. And if
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you watched Oregon and UCLA, defensive tackle Bear Alexander took
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: down UCLA quarterback Nikoi Maliava. Should have had 15 yards.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: He was tackled during a second quarter scramble. Replay showed
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Alexander twist the quarterback's helmet and swing his right arm,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: which struck him on the chin. Dan Levin says he's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: not going to be disciplined because he was just trying
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to punch the ball out. So apparently, Alexander.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Had a hard time distinguishing between the football and Imali
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Ava's head. Imali Ava suffered a knee injury on the play,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and some reports indicate he is done for the season.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Bob Chesney, the UCLA coach, didn't see it live, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he said when you see it, it's certainly egregious. It
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be a play that's allowed to occur.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: In this sport, and it's a shame.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: That it was missed by the officials, who also missed
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a couple other things in that game, and were put
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: on double secret probation.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: By the Big Ten.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You know, in the first hour, I think I called
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it the Pac-12 again because I still can't get used
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to Oregon and UCLA being in the Big Ten. It's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just not right. It's just not right. College football tonight, Delaware,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee, Florida International, and Jacksonville State. Baseball tonight, playoff baseball,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Guardians and Rays. The Guardians came from behind last night,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: which isn't easy to do against the Rays. They were
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: down 2-0, had a couple of solo home runs to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: tie it, then a big inning. They lead that series
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: one game to none. The Dodgers and the Brewers go
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: back to L.A. with the Brewers leading the two-time defending champs.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Two games to none.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: The SEC media basketball day started today, will end tomorrow.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: This isn't a four-day deal like they do in football.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: And the LSU... teams didn't make it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: They said it was due to weather, a ground stop
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: with fog in Baton Rouge. We also learned that LSU recruit,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: quote unquote, LJ Lewis Jr. is not on the roster.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Will Wade said that today to the media. There was
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a judge's order that would allow him to be on
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the roster, but obviously he the SEC and LSU and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the rest of the league have reached some, quote, agreements.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: As far as we know, right now, with the season
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: starting next month, and again, there's probably more than this,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: but outside people think there are four players on the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: LSU basketball roster right now. Man, those guys are going
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to be tired. When the season's over, I'm just saying
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be tired when the season's over and frozen frenzy.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Is that what it's called? Frozen frenzy.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: It's called frozen frenzy.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: All 16 NHL teams are in action today. Uh, they're
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: starting right now. The devils. And I just saw who
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: they're skating against. I'll see it in a minute. Uh,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Following this game are going to be the Stars and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the Avalanche.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: Devils and Red Wings.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, Devils, Red Wings. Stars and Avalanche will follow.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I think there's even two other games after that on ESPN,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: right to midnight past, or just one other game after
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the Stars and Avalanche. Maybe just one more after that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Bruins, Sharks. That's game three?
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: All the other 13 games are on ESPN +. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you have to pay for them. And you actually have
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to pay to see the Dallas Stars this year, unfortunately,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: with the demise of the regional network.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: They're on Prime, Amazon Prime.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So we got that going. Now, I promised you this,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and I know you've been waiting for this. So I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: want to deliver this. on my promises. And that is
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit of information on A & M' s opponent,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the Citadel.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: They haven't really been talked about too much. Okay? We learned.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: yesterday, and we'll hear from Mike Elko. I'll tell you what.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: That's a tease. He's going to tell you, why are
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you playing the Citadel? And there's a reason for it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And so you'll listen to that. We're going to play
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Coach Elko here in just a little bit. They are coached.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: by former Bulldog football player Maurice Drayton, who had a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: couple of stints in the NFL. He was an assistant
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: special teams coordinator for the Raiders, special teams with the Packers,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: special teams with the Indianapolis Colts. So, He was hired
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in December of 2022. This is his fourth season with
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the Bulldogs, okay? He's the coach. As we let it
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: slip earlier in the show, the Citadel is in the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Southern Conference, the SOCON, as we like to call it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Who else is in the Southern Conference? East Tennessee State,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they're 3-0 in the league. Tennessee Tech, 3-1 in the league.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Tied with Chattanooga, 3-1 in the league. Mercer is 2-1.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Wofford is 2-2. Western Carolina and Furman and Samford are 1-2.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: The Citadel, hey, that's where Bucky coached. The Citadel, 0-3.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: VMI, their fierce rival, is 0-2.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: The Citadel opened the season with a loss at Wofford, 42-14.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: They won a nail-biter at Charlotte, 43-41 in triple overtime.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So if you're the Aggies, you don't want to go
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to triple overtime against the Bulldogs Saturday. Charleston Southern, at home,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: they lost.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: In two overtimes, 26-20.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: They're probably exhausted from the week before playing three overtimes.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: They lost at home to Chattanooga, 27-8. And they lost
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: their third straight home game to East Tennessee State 34-16.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: After coming to College Station, they go back to Charleston
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: for a home game against Tennessee Tech. Now, I learned
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that Drayton has orchestrated amidst strides for the program. ending
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: his third campaign holding claim to back-to-back silver Shaco wins
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: against VMI. Coming from a 24-7 deficit with 28 unanswered
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: points in the 81st military classic of the South. So
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you beat your rival. You can lose a few conference games, right?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And they have been able to beat VMI. Luckily for them,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: this year, VMI right now is 0-6. So the Citadel
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: could be in decent shape To once again knock out
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: their rival at the.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: End of the year. And let me see. I've got that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't put that third page of the schedule.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Would you bring that up? It's either. When do they
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: play VMI? November 14th at 11 a.m. And where is
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: that game this year? At VMI. Okay. So they're going
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: to have to go on the road to win that.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: What did I say?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: The Silver Shaco. That's the trophy. Would you look up
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Silver Shaco? We need to get a picture of that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: trophy that the Bulldogs play for each year against VMI,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the Military Academy. So that's who's coming to town Saturday
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: at high noon. I know you guys were wondering about that.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, there it is. Good-looking trophy. Silver trophy.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Which, if it's going to have silver in the name,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the trophy needs to be silver. And that's a pretty
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: good trophy right there.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Beaten up.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: You like the trophy with a little character on it, right?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Okay. So, there you go.
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Let's do this. Mike Elko met with the media yesterday.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: We carried a little part of it because I wanted
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you to hear his exact words concerning cesspool gate. And again,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: listen closely to Coach Elko when he explains how is
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: it that the Citadel is coming to College Station Saturday.
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: Mike, how do you balance... maybe playing more veterans, kind
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: of going for still trying to accomplish things this season,
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: and then maybe saying, hey, let's build for the future,
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: play more young guys, even if they're maybe not the
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: best option right now?
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think it's ever fair to your program
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: to think like that. I think you have to do
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: what you think is right to win on Saturday. And
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: I think in some instances that has been young guys
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: getting more opportunities because of we think that's the right
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: thing to give us the best chance on Saturday. Whether
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: that's KJ, whether that's Aaron Gregory, you saw Bryce Perry
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: write a little bit more on Saturday. You saw Tamarian Watkins,
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: Chance Collins. There are some young freshmen that are earning
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: their opportunities to play, and so you're seeing that. Jaden
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: Warren had a catch yesterday. But I don't think you're
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: ever saying, you know, I think this older kid gives
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: us the best chance to win Saturday, but I'm not
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: going to do that because that's not the best thing
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: for the future. That's not a mindset that I think
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: is the right mindset for your program.
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: How do you balance kind of the motivation of, like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: you know, the last two years, every game counted, every
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: game was, you know, you could have still made the playoff,
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: and maybe at this point, not sure if you were eliminated,
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: but might be? How do you kind of approach still
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: motivating your guys?
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, our focus right now is just getting better. Our
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: kids want to put a better product on the field.
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: Our fans deserve a better product on the field. The
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: only thing that we can focus on right now is
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: getting better. None of those big picture conversations can be
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: part of our equation. It's all about daily improvement and
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: trying to get to a product on the field that
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: is more representative of what we think Texas A &
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: M football should look like.
• 17:51
  Speaker 11: We'll go back over to the left first row, Robert.
• 17:54
  Speaker 12: Mike, you're 1-3 in conference play. It's uncharted territory as
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: head coach. My one wondering is you, is there a
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: former coach you dealt with or a peer? Who do
• 18:04
  Speaker 12: you lean on in situations like this?
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I have a group of people that I think
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: are there to support me. I've had a lot of
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: people reach out to me over the last couple weeks.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: At the end of the day, and I've said this
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: to a lot of people, like The weight that I
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: carry is for these kids and these coaches to have
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: the success that they deserve for the amount of time
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: and energy they're putting into this thing. That's what I
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: told the team after the game. When it doesn't go
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: the way you hope or want or expect it to go,
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: it was no different when we were winning. The emotions
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: were more joy for the players, so too is the pain,
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: more pain for the players because you know what they experience,
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: you know what they put into this, you know the
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: work that they're giving you, and to not be able
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: to find a way to creatively create create success for
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: them like that's what eats at you as a coach
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: and so but no I have a group of people
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: that I rely on that I reach out to and
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: certainly are there to support me and help me and
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: guide me through things.
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: We'll go all the way to the back left Nick.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Hey Mike now half of the season how would you
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: assess the job that Lyle and Holman have done so far?
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: Again we do all of our coaching evaluations internally and
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: so those are things that we'll just keep internally.
• 19:17
  Speaker 13: In our building.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: After the game, I know you mentioned a lack of
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: separation for the receivers. Is that something that surprised you
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: with how good you thought this group would be this year,
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: and how does that get cleaned up and fixed?
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think by and large our ineffectiveness in the
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: past game has probably been the biggest surprise of the season,
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: and that's probably a huge understatement. It gets fixed with work.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: It gets fixed with practice. It gets fixed with detailing
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: our route running. putting pace and tempo into our route running.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: It gets fast. with delivering the ball accurately and on
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: time where it's supposed to go. And it gets fixed
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: with cleaning up the pockets in ways that allow all
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: of that timing to work the right way. What you
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: see on the practice field is not what you're seeing
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: in the game. And that's the biggest... dilemma that we're
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: fighting and dealing with right now.
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: We'll go back over to the left third row. Howdy coach.
• 20:16
  Speaker 14: You've talked a lot about confidence recently.
• 20:18
  Speaker 15: What is one area in practice that you are that
• 20:20
  Speaker 15: is giving you confidence going to this next week?
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: What is changing that's giving you hope?
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the biggest confidence I take is, and again,
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: I've been part of bad seasons where things splinter and
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: fracture and the locker room gets divided and the offense
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: and the defense are fighting or the wide receivers and
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: the quarterback are fighting or the staff is pulling apart
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: from each other or people are working less hard as
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: the season goes on. What gives me confidence is that
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: none of that is happening. What gives me confidence is that,
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: you know, for the most part, our kids are showing
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: up in the right frame of mind and the right
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: mindset and to go to work are there some exceptions
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: of course are there some kids that need to be
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: prodded more yeah of course but by and large the
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: the group is clinging together through challenging times the way
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: you would hope to give you an opportunity to come
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: out of it again that's the biggest thing that i
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: keep drawing back to with them is is the only
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: way out is through and the only way you get
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: through is to get through together that's all you can
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: do in situations like this we'll go.
• 21:28
  Speaker 15: Over to the second row on the right peter Just
• 21:31
  Speaker 15: to clarify and make sure, when exactly did you give
• 21:34
  Speaker 15: up play calling duties?
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: After the LSU game.
• 21:38
  Speaker 15: And on Saturday you said Mario was battling things. Does
• 21:41
  Speaker 15: that mean he has multiple injuries or is it just
• 21:44
  Speaker 15: one that's afflicting him right now?
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: He's got a couple injuries that he's battling through.
• 21:49
  Speaker 15: And have those all come in games or have they
• 21:50
  Speaker 15: come in practices?
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: No, all in games.
• 21:53
  Speaker 15: How do you balance, you know, with a guy like Mario,
• 21:56
  Speaker 15: you know, great player, potential All-SEC guy, you know, keeping
• 22:01
  Speaker 15: him healthy keeping him and having his value to the
• 22:04
  Speaker 15: offense while dealing with all the other struggles the team
• 22:07
  Speaker 15: is facing on that end as well um.
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: I don't know that the two things correlate together I
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: think um you know Mario is a kid that we
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: rely on um to whatever degree we can utilize Mario
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: in games is the degree that we're going to utilize
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: him in games um I think that doesn't Regardless of
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: whether we're having success or struggling, we're going to try
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: to get Mario on the field as much as Mario
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: is physically capable of being on the field.
• 22:35
  Speaker 15: You've given up play calling duties. You said a week
• 22:37
  Speaker 15: or two ago you guys switched up some of the
• 22:39
  Speaker 15: practice stuff for a lot more best-on-best. What other changes
• 22:41
  Speaker 15: have already been made to try to fix this?
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: I think probably a lot of strategic changes have been
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: made to the way we've tried to attack offense. on offense. Um, again,
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: the result is, is the same. And so you don't
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: see the changes. Um, but I do, you know, we
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: are not just doing the same thing over and over again. Um,
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: the results are the same. And so sometimes when the
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: results are the same, it appears as though the effort
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: and the opportunity and what you're trying to do is
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: the same.
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: It's not.
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: And so again, we'll continue to go back to the
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: drawing board and try to figure out what the right
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: formula is to find success.
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: We'll go to the back right, Landon. Howdy, Coach.
• 23:25
  Speaker 16: You mentioned staying ahead of the sticks and keeping your
• 23:28
  Speaker 16: offense in good downs. The running game really struggled on Saturday.
• 23:31
  Speaker 16: After watching the film, what was your biggest concern from
• 23:34
  Speaker 16: the rushing attack, and what are you looking to fix
• 23:36
  Speaker 16: within that group?
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it was a couple things. I think, one,
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: we physically lost more than we should. I don't think
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: we performed physically as well as we're capable of. There
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: were some targeting issues that we had that we've got
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: to get cleaned up in terms of points and where
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: we were going in some of our targeting. And then
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: there were too many penalties. There were three penalties on
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: run plays. And it doesn't seem like a big deal
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: on a three-yard play, but it's a huge deal when
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: you have second and seven versus first and 20. And
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: that happened on three separate occasions in the first half.
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: And so when you're trying to find rhythm and you're
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: trying to overcome struggles and Those are the things that
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: make it almost overwhelming at times because we have to
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: start having success, we have to create confidence, and we
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: have to be able to do that by continuing to
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: push things forward, and those setbacks are causing massive problems.
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: We'll go back over to Matthew on the left, third row.
• 24:37
  Speaker 13: Coach, against Mizzou, the defense created opportunities, but the offense
• 24:40
  Speaker 13: struggled to capitalize. Going forward, how important is it for
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: the offense to convert takeaways and favorable field position into
• 24:46
  Speaker 13: touchdowns rather than settling for field goals or just coming
• 24:48
  Speaker 13: away empty-handed?
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's really important. I think, again, it's
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: part of the formula, right? And if you look at
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: the game... you know, we did a really poor job
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: on third down conversions. We did a really poor job
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: scoring touchdowns in the red zone. And those two factors
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: are why the offense looks the way it looks. And so,
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: you know, I thought we had an opportunity to kind
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: of seize momentum twice. I thought we had a chance
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: off of the turnover. I also thought we had a chance.
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: We got a three and out on defense and they
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: hit a bad punt and we started in plus field
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: position and weren't able to capitalize on that one either.
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: And so I thought there were a couple opportunities early
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: in the game to create momentum and we just weren't
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: able to do it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: We'll go back over to Alex. Second row on the left.
• 25:29
  Speaker 17: Talked earlier about young guys getting opportunities. Sam Roseborough had
• 25:32
  Speaker 17: quite a few snaps on Saturday. Just what was kind
• 25:35
  Speaker 17: of what y'all liked about trying to give him a
• 25:37
  Speaker 17: shot there at guard?
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah, same thing. Just, you know, he continues to practice hard.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: I think he gives us an opportunity from a physicality standpoint.
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: He's continued to grow and get better. And so we
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: felt like it was the right opportunity. You know, Trost
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: banked up and We wanted to give him a shot
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: and see what it would look like with him out there.
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: We're going to go back all the way in the
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: back to Nick.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Hey, Mike, I did want to ask about you guys
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: playing Citadel and considering that you got one of your
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: biggest starts of your career at a federal service academy.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: Are you thinking about that at all going into this game?
• 26:12
  Speaker 18: No, not really.
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: I think more than that, the athletic director at the Citadel,
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: Art Chase, was the football athletic director that hired me
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: at Duke. And so that's probably more the connection that
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: created this opportunity. And so a ton of respect for
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: Art and who he is and his family and the
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: job they do. And so I think when the opportunity
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: came up to play, it was something that was a
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: pretty cool opportunity.
• 26:33
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: One more, Alex.
• 26:38
  Speaker 17: Well, just speaking of that, just what was your relationship
• 26:41
  Speaker 17: like with Art and just, you know, I guess just.
• 26:46
  Speaker 19: Along those.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Lines.
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: It was good. Art was the football AD. We talked
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: a lot.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: He's a good guy.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: All right. Anything else?

  Speaker 1: was just 36 in South Carolina. Today, the Greenville County

  Speaker 1: Coroner's Office confirmed her death has been ruled as toxic
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: effects of fentanyl, 4-ANPP, alprazolam, methicarbinol, Quiet, Teopine. The manner
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: of death has ruled accidental. On August 16, 2026, at

  Speaker 1: approximately 1.51 p.m., a 911 call was received regarding a
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: reported cardiac arrest at 701 Easley Bridge Road in Greenville.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: First responders and emergency medical services arrived on the scene,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: located a female in cardiac arrest. EMS personnel initiated advanced
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: cardiac life support measures. However, resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. The
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: individual was pronounced deceased at 2.32 p.m. The Greenville County
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Coroner's Office responded to the scene, initiated a parallel investigation
• 32:42

• 32:45
  Speaker 1: identified as Hayden Leslie Panettiere, 36, in California. She was
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: found unresponsive inside the residence where she had been temporarily staying.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: An autopsy was completed by a board-certified forensic pathologist. An
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: autopsy showed no signs of trauma were discovered that would
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: have contributed to her death.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: So there you go. Drugs. We knew that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 23: Right?
• 33:16
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: This is just a confirmation. That's a lot of stuff
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: in your system. It's sad.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: That is a lot.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Very sad.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: And I think, I mean, I don't know. Didn't they
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: arrest the drug, her drug dealer or anything like that?
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: No.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Her drug dealing boyfriend. That guy. Yeah.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: What a mess.
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Then there is the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: And her husband, Randy.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: He died over the weekend at 27. Presley Gerber was
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: at a rehab facility, according to L.A. County Medical Records.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Crawford's publicist confirms his death, saying the family is asking
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: for privacy during this difficult and painful time. An autopsy
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: pending completion. The cause and manner of death has not
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: been released. Presley Gerber was the older brother of Kaya Gerber,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: model and actress. Built his own career as a runway
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: star model. But apparently had just entered a rehab facility.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: And was apparently under the influence when he.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Entered the rehab facility.
• 34:52
  Speaker 23: I feel like that detail is not that uncommon, I guess.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: Unfortunately.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: But.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: But it seems like if you enter a rehab facility
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: under the influence so much that you die, they probably
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: should have called authorities sooner.
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: A little sooner.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:18
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about all this stuff, but
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: that's just a guess.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: A total guess on my part.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: You would think their specialty would be.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, knowing that someone is under the influence and is
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: in bad shape, right?
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Do they not see that every day?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: You would think so, but.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: I mean, I digress.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: You digress.
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: What can we do?
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's wash our ears out with the Royals.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: Yes, let's do it.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, Harry.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Harry, Harry.
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: Oh, Harry, he may have another royal documentary.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Up his sleeve. Good for him.
• 35:59
  Speaker 23: Apparently he's discussing a number of possible projects to commemorate.
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: I can never say this word.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Commemorate?
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: Commemorate.
• 36:11
  Speaker 23: It's so stupid i'm sorry okay uh the 30th anniversary
• 36:16
  Speaker 23: of his mother uh princess diana's death that's not stupid
• 36:19
  Speaker 23: don't you think don't you want to say simple words.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Charles is going to be very unhappy with anything having
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to oh.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: But you can't show it diana.
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sure, if not him, Camilla, but he
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: can't show it because, man, if anyone.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Because Princess Di was loved in England.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Not by Charles.
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: She was.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Not by Charles, but she was loved in England.
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 36:49
  Speaker 23: That's why so many people dislike Camilla because.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: You know, womp womp. That tramp.
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: Anyways.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Sorry. That just came out.
• 37:04
  Speaker 23: Anyways, it's the anniversary of his mother, Princess Diana's.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Death next year. A homely looking tramp at that. Sorry.
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: Sorry.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: All my feelings are coming out.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: We're not talking about her anymore.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: We're talking about Diana. Let's talk about Diana.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: Hmm. Let her have her moment.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 37:22
  Speaker 23: Which is weighing the most meaningful way to, so he's weighing,
• 37:26
  Speaker 23: he's still weighing the most meaningful way to, you know,
• 37:28
  Speaker 23: basically honor her legacy. Among the ideas to mark the
• 37:32
  Speaker 23: milestone is the possibility of making a documentary. The documentary
• 37:37
  Speaker 23: is expected to be bought.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: By Netflix, of course, because every documentary.
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they got all that.
• 37:44
  Speaker 23: He did move back to Britain last month after six
• 37:46
  Speaker 23: years overseas.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, he did.
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: It is no stranger to, to talking in front of cameras.
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: So shortly after.
• 37:53
  Speaker 23: Him and his wife did step away from their senior
• 37:55
  Speaker 23: roles as working royals in 2020.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's an oxymoron.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Working royals is an oxymoron, but that's okay.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: That's okay.
• 38:07
  Speaker 23: No, they work real hard on their walkabouts.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: They did do walkabouts. I'll give you that. They did
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: do walkabouts. Yeah.
• 38:15
  Speaker 23: They use their own feats and they have to pretend
• 38:17
  Speaker 23: to smile and True, that's not easy.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: That's not easy.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: That's a lot of face muscles.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, you're right.
• 38:23
  Speaker 23: I don't know.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: You're right. You're right.
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: But anyways, so there is that.
• 38:30
  Speaker 23: There was obviously a lot of controversy with this documentary
• 38:33
  Speaker 23: from Netflix in 2022, which was titled Harry and Meghan,
• 38:39
  Speaker 23: and they explored the early days of their relationships, plus
• 38:41
  Speaker 23: their exit, basically. But because we don't have enough We
• 38:47
  Speaker 23: need more royal news. There's never enough.
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: Let's talk more.
• 38:52
  Speaker 23: Turns out Meghan is settling in life back in Great
• 38:56
  Speaker 23: Britain with some familiar faces.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: By her side. I was afraid she wasn't going to
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: settle in.
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: Well, no worries. She is.
• 39:05
  Speaker 23: She's apparently had an afternoon outing at a pub with
• 39:09
  Speaker 23: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 39:12
  Speaker 24: Rossi?
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: No way. Is that right?
• 39:14
  Speaker 23: Yep, at the Three Horseshoes, an 18th century pub near Buford, Oxfordshire,
• 39:20
  Speaker 23: at 2 p.m.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Local time. So they were doing happy hour at 2 o'clock.
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: Yep, they were.
• 39:28
  Speaker 23: The outing came as Meghan's husband, Harry, as we know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 23: stepped out in London for the Well Child Awards, his
• 39:35
  Speaker 23: latest public appearance since the couple did move back to
• 39:38
  Speaker 23: Britain with their children, Archie and Lily.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: I bet this Charles are just fit to be tied,
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: don't you?
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: I mean, of course. He's so mad.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: They're back over there. Hey, I got a question.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Why wasn't Meghan with Harry at this Wellchild Awards?
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, I don't know.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: She was too.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Busy knocking back pints with Ellen and Portia.
• 40:06
  Speaker 23: Well, she has yet to attend an official public event.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: That's probably for the best. She's not liked. She ain't
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: liked like Diana was, right? No, she will never.
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: Be a Diana.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: No.
• 40:20
  Speaker 23: In the days after arriving in Britain, Meghan and Harry
• 40:23
  Speaker 23: were also spotted together at a Soho farmhouse in Oxfordshire.
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: Of course they were.
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes.
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: So there's that. They are.
• 40:31
  Speaker 23: They have been a longtime friends with Ellen and Portia,
• 40:35
  Speaker 23: who are neighbors of the couple.
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: So there you go.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: Their friendship now stretches across both sides of the Atlantic.
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: As we know, Ellen and them did move away.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't remember that.
• 40:49
  Speaker 23: Well, yeah, they moved away after Donald Trump became president again.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: I hope they stay here.
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: Well, apparently they're living the dream.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: And now they have Megan as a neighbor.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: And they're all living happily ever after. That's just so beautiful.
• 41:06
  Speaker 23: And that is a wrap on our Royal Update.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: That tired me out.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: TMZ is reporting that Dolly traveled to Germany for an
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: experimental cancer treatment.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: About a year before her death.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Sources say Dolly privately battled cancer during the final year
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: of her life and sought treatment overseas, flew to Frankfurt
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: on a private jet for the treatment. It's unclear what
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: was involved. She remained in Germany about a week before
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: coming home. She believed the treatment helped restore her strength
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: and felt that it had been effective. Um, Of course,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: it was reported that after a brief battle with cancer,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: she had died. So it depends what your definition of
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: brief is. I don't consider a year, you know, brief.
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: No, not at all.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a hard year.
• 42:09
  Speaker 23: That's a long year.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a long year.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, you knew this was going to happen and it
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: didn't take long. Dolly's nephew, Brian Seaver, has been fired
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: from providing security for his aunt's properties.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: He was head of security.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Remember, he's the one that announced her death on September, right?
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Last month and received a termination notice last Wednesday. stating
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: he and his companies were immediately dismissed. The letter reportedly
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: said Dolly's properties and business matters are controlled.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: By the DP Dean.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Trust, clarified that Seaver's personal interest in the trust remains
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: the same. Replacement guards have already taken over her Nashville.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Homes, museum, and warehouse.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Seaver addressed the situation in a statement to TMZ saying
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: he and his teams were dismayed by the unexpected and
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: so far unexplained actions. Taken by the singer's longtime manager,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Danny Nozel and Pinnacle Bank, who oversees the trust. The
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: statement said they are overwhelmed by the outpouring of Parton's
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: love for Parton's legacy. We remain unshakably resolved to fulfill
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: our final directive to protect her family. We refuse to
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: be intimidated by those actions we believe are being taken
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: in bad faith. and with the intent to profit from
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: the life of someone who willingly gave so much.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: So the battle is on.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: And by the time they're done, the lawyers will be rich,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: and there won't.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: Be much left of Dolly's estate. Just saying. We've seen
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: this before. Have we not?
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh, we have.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: And I suspect, I suspect, Dolly had, and I'm just thinking,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Dolly had everything organized and it's pretty clear where she
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: wanted her money to go.
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: Probably.
• 44:40
  Speaker 8: I would assume so.
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: So the battle has been joined.
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: Sad. It's sad that it's already come to this.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: Not surprising.
• 44:53
  Speaker 23: I mean, we should just move on to some more
• 44:55
  Speaker 23: sad news.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Let's do it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: Or just, you know, air news.
• 44:59
  Speaker 23: Carrot Top, who is a name I haven't said in a.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: Very long time. We haven't talked about the Top in
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: a while.
• 45:05
  Speaker 23: No, he was handed a $ 2 billion demand just days
• 45:09
  Speaker 23: before his attempted suicide. And within hours, his lawyers were
• 45:13
  Speaker 23: telling the court the comedian was being extorted.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: Did we know that.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Carrot Top had a suicide attempt? I don't think we
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: actually said that yet. Did I miss this?
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: But yes, he did. I think it happened late last week.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: I must have been out of the country.
• 45:28
  Speaker 23: If I had to guess, which I might say it here, honestly.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 45:32
  Speaker 23: So he, apparently, there was a pair of emails laying
• 45:35
  Speaker 23: out the heated legal battle that unfolded last Monday, four
• 45:38
  Speaker 23: days before Carrot Top was hospitalized.
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: So it was, again, late last week.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 45:43
  Speaker 23: And the first message, Brian Evans said, whom Carrot Top's
• 45:46
  Speaker 23: team has accused of extortion, proposed a $ 2 million deal
• 45:50
  Speaker 23: in the legal fight involving himself, Carrot Top, whose real
• 45:53
  Speaker 23: name is Scott Thompson, and several others. He said everyone
• 45:58
  Speaker 23: would drop their claims and keep the deal private, and
• 46:01
  Speaker 23: he even gave Carrot Top's team until Wednesday to accept.
• 46:06
  Speaker 23: Hours later, Carrot Top's attorney emailed an assistant for Florida
• 46:14
  Speaker 23: judge Shari, I can't even pretend like I'm going to
• 46:18
  Speaker 23: be able.
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: To say that last name.
• 46:20
  Speaker 23: Accusing Evans of waging a campaign of extortion. The attorney
• 46:23
  Speaker 23: claimed Evans was demanding millions or else he would file false, malicious,
• 46:27
  Speaker 23: and indecentary materials in the court record for the press
• 46:35
  Speaker 23: to pick up. He asked the court for immediate emergency relief,
• 46:38
  Speaker 23: accusing Evans of using extortion and blackmail to basically.
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: Oh, poor Topp.
• 46:45
  Speaker 23: Yeah. And so from what I've heard, just because just
• 46:47
  Speaker 23: a backpedal on that.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: So, yes, he did attend suicide.
• 46:52
  Speaker 23: I believe it was on Friday.
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: And I think he is awake now.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Do you know, I heard today our friend Brian told
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: me the top is worth upwards of 70 million dollars.
• 47:08
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I'm always confused by that, though.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: Me too.
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: What does he do? I mean, good for you, but.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently he has been very good with his money
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: and has made some wise business decisions. And, you know,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: he's been in residency in Vegas for like 20-something years.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: And that generally pays pretty well, even if you're carrot top.
• 47:38
  Speaker 15: Jeez.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: So I was surprised by that, but.
• 47:41
  Speaker 23: Hey, I'm always surprised by his age too, which I
• 47:44
  Speaker 23: know it doesn't say his age, but I think he's,
• 47:47
  Speaker 23: he's older.
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 47:48
  Speaker 23: I think he's like 60 or something.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: I could be wrong. Let me tell you something. No,
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: I just want this clear.
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: When I 60.
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: Is not, I said that. Okay. Okay. That's not what
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: I meant. Let me be clear.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: I just want to be clear about that.
• 48:05
  Speaker 23: 60 is young.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: Still.
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: You're welcome. How about this story?
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: Please don't come after me.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a new American horror story coming out next.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: Week on FX.
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: I saw that.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: And you know who's in it?
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: A lot of people are back.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Jessica Lange is going to play up to five characters.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: But she had one condition for Ryan Murphy, the creator,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: before agreeing to return to the hit anthology series that
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: started in 2011. Despite what Murphy said in a recent
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: interview about the 77-year-old requiring a musical number as part
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: of her return, Lang told Regis and Kelly, I guess
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: it's Kelly and Mark, that she only agreed to come
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: back if she got the opportunity to play all four
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: characters she previously led the series with.
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: Said Lang, who.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I love, by the way. I love me some Jessica Lang.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: yeah ryan murphy taught me in a coming back she
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: said first he talked to me about playing season one's
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: character constance which i think was his favorite one that
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: i did i said i will come back if i
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: can do all four characters the nun said mark who
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: played Spivey opposite Lang on five episodes of season two. Yes,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: from our season, yes, but not in the habit. She's
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: in the latter part of the season. She's institutionalized herself
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: when she's a patient there. Lang played the aforementioned Constance
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: and sister Jude Martin on seasons one and two before
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: returning as the powerful witch Fiona on 2013's Coven. The
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: circus leader Elsa Mars in 2014's Freak Show. The final
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: installment that Lang led before she returned to the guests
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: in 2018 in Apocalypse. Of the current season, Jessica says
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: everybody is a returning character pretty much. She said it
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: was great because I like all four of those characters.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: It was fun to play them. And coming back, it
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: was great to do them again.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I had to turn off one of those American Horror
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Stories one year.
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: It was just too creepy for me.
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: I wonder which one it was. I mean, they're all creepy. Oh,
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: my gosh.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: It was a creep show. It was a creep fest.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: I just couldn't take it.
• 50:48
  Speaker 23: I think I watched all the way to Roanoke.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: Roanoke was creepy. Freak show was creepy.
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: Freak show was, yes. But, I mean, what did you expect?
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. I know. It's American Horror Story.
• 51:07
  Speaker 23: The first season will always be my favorite.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, I love that first season.
• 51:11
  Speaker 23: Yeah, which I think is always obvious with a lot
• 51:13
  Speaker 23: of seasons.
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: No, you're right.
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: You're right. I'll give it a shot. I'll give it
