• 1:42
  Speaker 8: It's a ride of passage, you know, Roddy like you
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: and I, we we get away with a lot on
• 1:46
  Speaker 8: serious XCM, but when you do local radio, everybody has
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: that moment.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it's I was told when I first
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: got into business you can say anything on air once.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Depending on what you say what determined whether or not
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: you get a chance to say it again.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: That's actually a great line.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: I think they really just told me like I made
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: too much of it. They should have slept on the run,
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: just stept going. But yeah, we kind of made it
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: a thing for like five more.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Minutes as it should be. You know, it's like the
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: locker room. You make a small mistakes.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: And that's all right, no doubt. Right.
• 2:20
  Speaker 8: I certainly want to talk acc football, but look, you
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: played college baseball. You and I, when we do shows together,
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: we're going to find a way to talk some college baseball.
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: This is the first chance that you and I have
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: had the opportunity to catch up since LSU won the
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: national championship. Man, what did you think about the Tigers
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: run through Omaha, maybe just the postseason in general?
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I thought, first off, I want to start with
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: LSU because I feel like all the talk after the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: championship series was about Kevin Schnall getting ejected and just
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the entire spectacle around that. So let's start with LSU
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and what Jay Johnson has built and what Jay Johnson
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: has done over the course of his career obviously at
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Arizona and made it LSU establishing the best baseball program
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: or maybe continuing the best baseball program in the country
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: national championships to in the last three years. And I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: do think it's a legitimate conversation on whether or not
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: LSU is the greatest baseball program in the history of
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: college baseball. We've Ben Hartstock and I had that discussion,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: and certainly USC is in the running for all the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: championships that they have twelve of them. Texas is in
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the running for all the College World Series appearances they
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: have far and away more than anybody else. But I
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: think LSU is the one that I would take because
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: of the success since what was the first one nineteen
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: ninety one, I mean eight championships. Since then, you've got
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the eight out of nine times you get to the
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: championship series you win. It. Just the consistency that's been
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: built down there, I think I would go with LSU.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's recency biased, but Texas is the one that's
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: that's in the conversation right now. To me, with la
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: USC has to establish some sort of relevance in this
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: era of the portal where it's so much tougher to
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: win than it was in the sixties and seventies when
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: they were dominating.
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: And that's what I was going to say, not only
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: because of the portal, Roddy, but I think it is
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: LSU because of the teams and the programs that care
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: now about college basketball compared to what it used to be.
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: And I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but it used
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: to be very regional. It was like in the southeast
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: and then in southern California, and that's like the only
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: people that really cared about college baseball. And you go
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: back and you look thirty thirty five years ago, like
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State. Like all these
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: small programs certainly had their time, but like now everybody
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: seems to care. Like every major conference cares, the ACC,
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: the SEC, the Big Twelve, even the Big Ten now
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: with the additions that they made, like they care a lot.
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: The Sun Belt certainly cares a lot about college baseball.
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: So for me, like with the time and the effort
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: and the resources that everybody's now putting into college baseball,
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: that's what makes LSU's runs, what they've done in the
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: last what you know, thirty thirty five years, that much
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: more impressive compared to even like USC who had done
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: it in a long time.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree, man. And then you even factor
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: in this stuff with like the way the draft is structured,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the fact that that not only like if you went
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: back twenty years, the best players out of high school
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: typically win. Now the best players out of high school,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: the very best go, but that next year are really
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: coming to college, especially at the picture, especially pictures because
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: of the development that you're getting at the college level,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: which is on par and even sometimes better than what
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: you get in the minors. Because of the attention and
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the resources that these colleges have so so with that
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: level of talent spread across the country, it's so much
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: tougher to be as consistent as LSU has been, especially
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: at that conference through I mean, the SEC is an
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: absolute bear and they and they've done a great job
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: at it. So I'm with you. I'm the MLSU here,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Right, we're at that time of the summer where we're
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: kind of like transitioning. Is transition our focus from baseball
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: to football, So let's do that right now. So something
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: that's great interest to our listeners here in the SEC is,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: of course the Clemson Tigers. So first game the season
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: for LSU, a huge matchup defending ACC champs. Kid Klubnick
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: is returning his top three receivers. I kind of want
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: to hear your thoughts, just a breakdown, just an overview
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: of Cad, the offense, and their team in general, just
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: to kind of start introducing our fan base to Clemson.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: It's a loaded Clemson team. It's the best Clemson team
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: on paper that Dabos Sweeney has had since Trevor Lawrence
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: is last year at Clemson. It is a Clemson team
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: with the most expectations since probably Trevor sophomore year at
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Clemson twenty nineteen, which is the year after they won
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the national championships. So it is an absolutely loaded unit.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: It starts with kid club Nick, who's been his third
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: years the full time starter, started some as freshman year
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: as well, won an ACC championship game. As a matter
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: of fact, coming in for dj Ulli Angloway and his
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: maturity is the amount that he's matured over the course
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: of his career has been incredible. Man. He's gotten so
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: much more comfortable in Garrett Riley's system, which this will
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: be his third year in that system, and he got
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: so much better throwing the deep ball and in a
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: quarterback run game last year that I think he's poised
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: for a big time season. You mentioned the weapons at
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: receiver Bryant Westco, Antonio Williams, TJ. Moore, and then they
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: return They returned a receiver a couple who a couple
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: of years ago was their leading receiver when Antonio Williams
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: was out. So when you look at at the receiving core,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: it says good. Maybe not at the top end as
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: like in Ohio State or in Alabama, but it is
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: as talented as any of those from top to bottom.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I saw some projections ahead Antonio Williams as the number
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: one receiver in this class, you know upcoming, don't. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: wouldn't quite go there. He's a slot guy, but he
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: is incredible at the point of it time or at
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: the catch point, and he's a really good and smooth,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: explosive receiver. And then on defense, all they have is
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: the guy who's projected to be the first defensive end
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of off the board in next year's draft, the guy
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: who's projected to be the first defensive tackle off the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: board in next year's draft. A linebacker corp that's got
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: a butting star and Sammy Brown, an NFL corner in
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Avion Torell, and a future avon corn in Nashton Hampton.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: So it is a loaded team with a new defensive
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: coordinator and Tom Allen, third year offensive coordinator, and Garrett Riley.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And they really should run through the acc We'll see
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: they got to do it. They've got some holes. Safety
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: running back would be the two that I would point to.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: But it's a really talented team and it'll be fascinating
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: to see how LSU deals with that front. With all
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that LSU is replacing on the offensive line.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: And obviously when you have a matchup like this, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: I agree with everything you said. I mean, certainly Clemson
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: has some strong points in the front seven, the receiver,
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: and you know, different positions. You can kind of go
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: and you can highlight players. But is it all going
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: to come down to Kate club Nick versus Garrett Nessmeyer.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: I mean it really feels like that. I mean, no
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: matter where you look, Roddy, it's like those are one
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: and two, and it's been different orders in different kind
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: of polls, in different ratings and different rankings, whatever it
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: might be. But for the most part, when you look,
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: it is nuss Meyer and club Nick in some kind
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: of order there. It just feels like it is going
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: to be which quarterback makes the play and which one
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: has the mistake.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I do think that that will be a big part
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: of it. Man, Like the one who plays mistake free
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: football is putting their team in a position to win.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I do think LSU has the advantage at the running
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: back position for sure, with Kateen Durham, who's a butting star.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: We saw him against Arkansas, which is probably a breakout
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: game last year, and Clemson just doesn't have that at
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: the running back position. They're going to rely on a
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: sort of a committee approach. We'll see if they're second
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: wing your rusher. Last year, Jay Haynes got towards a
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: cl in the championship game, I believe the conference championship game.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: So we'll see if he's back. But it's gonna be
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: an inexperienced group. The the fact that LSU has a
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Caden Durham to help out Garrett Asmeyer. Not that he
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: needs it, but I think it can take some pressure
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: off of that offensive line who's going to have a
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: time blocking Peter Woods and TJ. Parker. So I think
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: that that Kate Klubnick is going to have more pressure
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: on him. I think he's going to have to do
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: more with his legs. I think he's gonna have to
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: be more of a running threat throughout the season, but
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: certainly in that first game against an LSD defense that
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: that should be improved from a here ago.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's take a little bit wider view. At the ACC.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: You said that you thought, you know, Clinton has a
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: lot of expectations. They should kind of run through the ACC.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Now over here, we're kind of we're hester now we're
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: big fans of Georgia Tech and Haines King's a good
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: hard knows East Texas boys on the meatad team Robett
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: I love it and they so they play the third
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: week September thirteenth. They match up Clemson Georgia Tech. I
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: wish that game was kind of pushed more towards the
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: end of the year. But is there anybody in the
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: ACC that you see pushing Clemson.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: It might have a chance to overthrow.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Them on a whole of the season. No, Clemson should
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: be the most talented team by a good margin unless
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Miami has things come together. I think talent wise, you
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: can look at Miami with Carson Beck coming over at
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the quarterback position and say, okay, I can convince myself
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: that they'll be in the running. They just lose a
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: ton at receiver and then that defense was not good
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: last year. They have to retool the secondary. So I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: think that Miami is probably the one from a talent standpoint. Now,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: look George Tech. They've been big game hunters since Brent
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Key has been the head coach there. They have a
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: winning record against ranked teams and ACC play. I obviously
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: played Georgia really close last year, eight overtimes, probably should
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: have won that game if the referees knew what targeting was.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: But that tither here nor there. But ultimately, like, this
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: is a Georgia Tech team that is going to be
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: dangerous weekend out. Haines King is really really talented and
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: really confident. Uh, you got Jamal Haynes at the running
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: back position who's in his third year as a starter
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: after switching over from receiver. Defense, loses Tyler Santucci, They're
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: going to have to create more pressure on the quarterback.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: We'll see if they're able to do that. Losing Romelo Height.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Was a big one.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: But I think this is a team that is not
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: going to shy away from anybody. So I'm excited about
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: the Jackets this year. Cautiously optimistic.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I don't want to hype him up two much and
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: get everybody talking to talking about him and patting him
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: on the back. I want everybody telling them how they're
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: not going to win six games this year and have
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: that chip on our shoulder.
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: Well, they always say like a team takes the identity
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: of their head coach, and if that is the case
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: there for Georgia Tech, we know one thing they're going
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: to be gritty as hell with Brinkey.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Being their head coach.
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: Like, I like, if I interview him, roddy, I'm like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: is he going to try to tackle me here in
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: the next like five minutes because he has that look
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: to him.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Usually usually he does tackle me before we do any
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: sport of a meeting or interview, like it will put
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: me at a headlock and give me a nod before
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I try and coop him up sweep the leg. But
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: he is he is a guy who is literally too
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: gritty to be pretty. I mean, he's he burned all
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: He wore a tie the first ACC media day he
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: went to, has not won a tie since, Like he
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: says he burned all of them. I don't believe that,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: but I do believe that he gave him all the way.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: But he is a hard nosed, uh demanding players coach.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: If there's a such thing as all of those things,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: because he obviously he's been in those guys shoes. He
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: loves Georgia Tech. He was a captain there in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: late nineties with Joe Hamilton at quarterback. It means a
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: lot to him, and he's done a great job of
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: assembling an incredible staff. I mean Buster Faulkner. Nobody knew
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: who Buster Faulkner was when they plucked him from being
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: a quality control assistant on the offensive side of the
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: ball from Georgia of all places. He becomes the offensive
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: coordinator at Georgia Tech. He just has done a phenomenal job,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: especially with that run game, but with the entire offense,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: making Georgia Tech one of the most difficult offenses to
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: prepare for with everything that they do pre snap. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: then he Jeep Wade at the offensive line position, has
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: done a really nice job continuing where Brent Key left off.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Tyler Santuccu is a great hire last year, and now
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: we got one of your boys, Blake Gideon's right comes
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: over from Texas City to be the defensive coordinator. So
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I'm really excited to see what he's going to bring.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: But you are right, the Georgia Tech team really embodies
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: what Brent Key is all about, and honestly, it was
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: a necessary change after the Jeff Collins era.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: All right, there, he is our guy, Roddy Jones.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: You'll catch him on ESPN also my colleague over a
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: serious XM.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: He does it all, Roddy.
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: We truly appreciate the time as always, sir, and look
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: forward to as we get closer.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Continuing to talk about this Clemson Lshue matchup.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir, thanks boys, it's a.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: Never thinking as he's talking, like how talented do you
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: have to be to play college baseball and also college football?
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: And like do it where you don't suck?
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you gotta be real talented. We haven't seen it
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: a whole lot right here.
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: Like, well, actually, I mean I got the time of
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: all places to be spoiled by guys that can do it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: I guess it would be Chad Jones Jared Mitchell to
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: do it at that like Chris jack incredibly high level.
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: Then Chris Jackson kickers are people too, right, It was
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: starting third basement for that team, but for Chad, like
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: Chad Jones and Jared Mitchell, like j Mitch was a
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: freshman and played receiver that year and then also in
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: two thousand and nine into being the most outstanding player
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: in the College World Series. But like like Chad Jones
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: was a dude at like on both at safety he's playing.
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: Was he a freshman when he was playing with Like Yeah,
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: so he was a freshman in OH seven with you all,
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: and he's like out there on a national championship team.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: And then we were talking about returners yesterday in the NFL.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: It was a chalsy hell. We had trendon Holiday Buster,
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: Davis Skyler Green, Chad Jones, Honey Badger wasn't bad at
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: returning either, pretty good.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Pat Pete.
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: They never let me. I wasn't allowed to return it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: I could catch it. I wasn't allowed if you catch
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: that fair.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Catch, don't you dare?
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: We do not need those little stubby legs trying to
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: return this football.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: All right, But shout out to Roddy Man.
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: Always enjoy catching up with Roddy And great breakdown there
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: of Clemson, and yeah, it is what it is.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Look, they are really really good.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: Their front seven is going to be, in my opinion,
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: the strength of the team. Now, a lot of people
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: are high on their receivers. I think they're talented, but
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: I think a lot of people are assuming they're going
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: to take this giant step based off that talent.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: That's easier said than done.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: You still got to go do that, Like I can
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: see it and I can get excited. But that jump
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: that people always talk about and always happened there's things
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: that you like. When you have that expectation, you got
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: to you got to deal with it. You got to
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: continue to grow, you got to continue to develop.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: So and let's be honest, both teams are dealing with
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: a lot of expectations going into this and I know
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: a lot's being made of and we've talked a lot
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: about it here about that first game. How do you
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: schedule that first game we've had We all know we
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: got a lot of scar tissue from this opening game.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: The last couple of years.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: And what I'm about to say is not going to
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: help this any But I think this Clemson team that
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: we're about to face is the best team that we've
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: played in an opening game in the last of the
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: group of what we played.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: That Florida State team that went undefeated.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I was kind of skipped over that one.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Pretty good.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: They're pretty good.
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: But to your point, this, this Clemson team has that
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: ability based off their schedule.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: If they beat LSUDA, the.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: State didn't have like the preseason expectations. I think they
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, they were good, they're good not to but
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: this is one of the high favorite three top return.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: This is a true road game. Yeah, away, but it
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: was in Tampa.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: This is not I'm agreeing with me.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: I think this is the best team that you're playing
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: because you go back and that Mississippi State team ended
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: up not being that great obviously, you just you didn't
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: make adjustments and you let someone set an SEC record.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: They got benched two weeks later at quarterback. You go
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: to u C. L A.
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: Now that UCLA team was was better than people thought.
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: They had, dtr quarterback, Zach charbona running back, NFL tied
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: end like they had some jimmies.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: And Joe's still Yeah, Florida State teams solid.
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: USC was bad last year. US was not a good
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: football team, and you lost to them. So what makes
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: it even deeper of a cut to the gut is
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: the teams you've lost to for the most part have
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: been okay.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Except the exception would be the foidest thing. Yeah, and Taylor,
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: great point. I mean, this is the true road game,
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: absolute hostile environment.
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: If only had one other.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: Missipi State was at home during COVID, but so it
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: was kind of a weird Ucla.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: The like away.
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they don't give a.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: As I'm saying, Ucla, you had more fans than they
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: had probably minus to probably.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Uh and then New Orleans, Orlando and then Vegas.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be an sec type environment. I mean, let's
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: Look, you've actually had some advantages and you still haven't
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: gotten it done. But that's why this is as must
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: win as must win can possibly be. And I know
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: you can still make the playoff if you lose this.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Game, but you can't. You can't do that anymore.
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: You can't just continue to start on one and then say, okay,
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: let's get started. It's like when we have an opening
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: segment and then we get the show started, right. We
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: can do that here. You can't do that in real
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: life in football. We're gonna win the game, though, that's
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: a guarantee.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: I definitely think it's a must win, but I don't
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: know how much I love putting so much stock into
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: it in the off season, like how oh they have
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: stuff that's like one in oh, in the locker room.
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: I understand what they're finally, because they've tried to hide
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: I think from that game in the past, because I'm
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: typically like you too, like they't make it all about
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: one game. I think they're trying to do something different
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: than they've done.
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: What whatever you did the last four years, don't do
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: it again.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: Because I typically would agree with you Landra, like, don't
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: make it all about the opening game and focus on
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: this solely like one.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Part of it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because then if we go and lose the next game,
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: you put way too much stock into the opening game.
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: And I definitely agree that something needs to change and
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: we do need to win this opening game. But to me,
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: it feels like a lot of times when the way
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: Brian Kelly moves, I feel like he pays attention to
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: the outside noise a little too much, like he's like, Okay,
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: everybody's saying we need and one hundred percent you need
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: to win the opening game. I don't know if I
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: love making making the offseason all about it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: You kind of have to take a different approach to
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: something if some's not working. Is there mathematically there shouldn't be,
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: but I know how like the COVID year, there was
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: some extra eligibility. But is there someone on the roster
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: that has won an opening game?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: No, Josh Williams I think was the last one.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Josh, nobody l roster that knows what it's like
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: to when now. I mean I can't speak for all
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: the transfers.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: We have to go back.
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah to your point, like an l uniform. Yeah no,
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: that's wild. That is not wild behavior.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Wild behavior. Come on, boys, all right, we.

• 23:16
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Welcome back again, uh Elandra.
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: I do want to hear your thoughts on why you
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: don't want to make it because I'm I'm in a
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: bad habit right now of just being like whatever you did,
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: just do the opposite, Go win a game, go find
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: a way.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: But I do want to hear your point on why
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: you don't like the one.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: And oh around in the lockerow so like I don't
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: disagree with that, like obviously what you've been doing the
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: last few years is not working because you've lost every
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: single opening game. Like I I agree and I understand
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: with what you are saying, but to like for me,
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: if you're already unprepared without doing all that extra stuff
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: of like one and oh start one and oh, like
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: and putting so much stock into the opening game, that's
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: already a bigger issue than like having to focus on
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: one game specifically, Like you need to be prepared for
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: the entire season, not just the opening game. And then
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: I feel like you also set yourself for even more
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: disappointment if you go out there and you end up
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: losing the opening game again and you have one to
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: zero all over the building and you're talking to your team, Yeah,
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: and you're talking to your team and like putting so
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: much stock into it. Yeah, like you're setting yourself for
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: even bigger disappointment. But then say, like, okay, it works,
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: you win game one, and then the rest of the
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: season it's kind of mediocre, you fall off or whatever.
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: I just think that there's like a lot of different
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: possibilities and I just don't love focusing on like one game, right,
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: You're putting so much stock into it, and like sure,
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: I'm sure he's like focusing on the rest of the
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: season and stuff like that, but like I just personally
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: don't like it. And I don't think that your issue
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: is not talking about the opening game.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: No, I know what you're saying about the Yeah, for sure,
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: And I get it's a good point. And if you
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: do start ohing one, I want to no messages across
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: the locker like oh what do we do with these?
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: And I think what you're trying to say and if
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: I'm if I'm wrong here, just tell me. But it
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: feels like you're saying kind of like what a lot
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: of us are thinking about this game, like be more prepared. Yeah,
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: just be prepared, like because you're supposed to be just
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: be prepared for the first game.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: Don't have to worry about it, right, Yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Do what you would do to get ready for the season,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but there's always focal points in the off season,
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: so you got to be able to focus focus onthing.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: It's like, you know, putting when Rocky puts von Drago's
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: picture on his mirror, right, Like you got to be
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: able to like like yeah, but to your point, Like
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: most off season, it was like, you know, week one
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: of summer training, we're gonna get you know, this is
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: we're gonna focus on. We're gonna beat Auburn the week
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: next week, we're gonna be Florida this week, Yeah, next week.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: You know, every season was a little bit different, but but.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: Like week by week, okay, fine, like.
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: Game one does make it a little different, just like
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: you get like to your point, like like I'm with
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: you one hundred percent because like me and Lander have
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: talked about it before.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: If like I'm falling back into Elandra thinking here, well.
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: We and her have always talked about it. Like lu
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: puts way more stuff, way too much stock in the
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: Alabama game every single week. The only thing I'm looking
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: at is, yes, this team is grossly underprepared every single year. Like, look,
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: I'm not here to bash anybody. Brian Kelly knows more
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: about football than I ever will. I mean, we we
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: came in here, like Jake, I went to what two
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: practices like, oh dude, though line wasn't able to block anything.
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: Kelly gets up there, Will Campbell gets up there. Gods,
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: we're gonna dominate people in the offensive line. Ah, no,
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: the hell, you're not. What happened game one two years ago,
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: Mason Smith. Kelly goes up there. We expect big things
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: from Mason Smith. T Bough goes Taylor else Mason Smith
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: looking like it's hard to tell he takes off every
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: other play because he's still injured. What happened, Mason Smith
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: was a shell of himself, Like, you gotta know your
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: team better. Whatever you did in the past, don't do it.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: That is the only reason I'm okay with it, because
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: you've been awful and like if this was game, if
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: this was week nine, yes, sure it's just another game,
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: but like you're oh and five, you have to do
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: something different. Like that is the only reason I'm good
• 27:19
  Speaker 9: with it, because you're gonna show up and embarrass yourself
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: again on national TV and that takes that deflates everything.
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: Like to her point about you don't want to have
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: too much build up in the opening game because when
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: you lose like you have the last five years, you're deflated.
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: There was so much build up for.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Game one I have never heard.
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: I have never dreaded doing a sports radio show more
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: than Las Vegas last year after losing another opener. It
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: was early as hell because we were on mountain time,
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: the game was late. I was like, I don't want
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: to go do that. I want to fake sick.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: Vegas is terrible, But that's what I'm saying, Like, imagine
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: how disappointing. It's gonna be if you lose game one
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: versus cleansingin I do want to know in the locker room,
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: and I do like understand that you can definitely like, Okay,
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: this is week one, We're gonna focus on this whatever,
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: and then you can go to week two and focus
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: on law tech. I get that, but it just feels
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: like too much to me personally. So I do like
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: I get Taylor's points.
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: Well, no, I kind of agree with a little bit
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: of everything because I do like, Okay, hey man, we
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: look we got a Power four opponent like Rod the Gates, Like,
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: we ain't got time to half step into this off season,
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: and that'd be your point of focus, like we got
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: to hit the ground running. And but also like when
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: we were playing at Elis, she was like when we
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: were getting run into the dirt in the off season,
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: it was to callous ourselves for the entire season, right,
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: we were training to be LSU Tigers. As cheesy as
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: that sounds, that was the standard, Like we are training
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: to be what we know we always have been here
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: and that's how maffittt trained us in the off season.
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: It's what the coaches kind of did even though they
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: weren't supposed to be there, they were there, Like that's
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: what we trained to be the Elstree Tigers, not for
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: one singular game. So I do get a little bit
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: of both points. But also we didn't lose five openers
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: in a row.
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: So and then like the thing is, like y'all talked
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: about this last week and everybody brings it up about oh, well,
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: who do you do you want an easy game in
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: the open or do you want a tough game in
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: the opener? Like if you don't want to put too
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: much focus on everything, Like yeah, but like you got
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: a big opponent in the opener, change change that a
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: little bit if you need to as well, Like whatever,
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: whatever you need to do. What's the's got to be different.
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: The football messaging throughout a season is don't look ahead.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: It's the most important game is the next game, right,
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: and whether whatever your record is, if you're five and two,
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: it's let's become six and two, right.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: That's all. That's that, that's the messaging. The most important
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: game is the next one. I'd get an off season
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: a little bit differ because it's the next game for
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: like six months.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: There's no one way to do it. Yeah, you have
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: to trust your team. You gotta know your team.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: You gotta know what what drives them, you gotta know
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: what motivates them.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: You gotta know what I.
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: Want to know that I want to know the team
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: from the first quarter of the first game. I'm not
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: saying you're going to know like everything about him, but
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: that that's one of the things that I think has
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: gotten you in trouble a little bit is as you
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: go into that game, you're.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Still trying to figure things out.
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: Like Garrett Dellinger plays center in the first game a
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: couple of years ago against Flories State. That was the
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: only game he played center. The next week he played
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: guard and Charles Turner came in at center for the rest.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: Of the year.
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: Think about how many times you change secondaries the last
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: two years. Like and like people can get pissed or whatever.
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: Brian Kelly hasn't known this team in week one since
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: he's been here.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: He hasn't. Let's not get this twisted.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: They're not walking into the facility right now, and they
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: got coaches screening Clemson at him right now. But just like,
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: just like you said, the off season in the summer
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: is to callous the individual for an entire season, to
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: harden the individual, to get him ready for an entire season,
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: from a health standpoint, from a physical physicality standpoint, middle standpoint.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: They'll get to the game. They're not game planning Clemson
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: right now. But in order to put somebody through physically
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: and mentally, emotionally, what you get put through during an
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: off season, from the training to summer workouts, being in
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: the heat. If you want to get the most out
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: of somebody, you have to give them a motivator, and
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: Clemson is a hell of a motivator to make you
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: work hard, too hard in yourself, to callous yourself.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: If you don't have that.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: If they don't put something a shiny object in front
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: of you and say this is what we're doing it for,
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: then there is a subconscious effort that's not being put in.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: So like if that is what it is. If you
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: have a smaller team that you're playing, playing the first game,
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: you look at something else, you look at Alabama, you
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: look at you pay a picture, whatever picture you paint.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: For those guys, it's emostly what you want to get
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: out of them. So if you want to get the
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: most physically out of somebody. You give them something to
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: look at.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: I will say this too. I know we got to
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: take a break.
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: I'm somewhere in the middle.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we're switching.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah no, y'all, y'all have me somewhere in the middle
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: right now.
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: So, uh, you know Taylor about not you know, not
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: knowing the team. You can certainly make that argument, but
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: also go make a damn play like usc the receiver.
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: Remember the play last year. He goes up, he's double covered,
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: he goes up, one hand, brings the ball down. You
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: know you didn't do you didn't defend that, or you
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: didn't defend it, didn't defend it, you did it like
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: your guys didn't go make that play. So like, sure,
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: I agree with you, Like there's got to you got
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: to know your team heading into week one and all that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: But there's been plays to be made in these games.
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: Like go back to the second Florida State game, right,
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: you drive the ball right down there, you get to
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: the goal line. First series, it looks like you're about
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: to go run them out of the building.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: What do you do? You don't score? Yeah, Like that's
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: like you got to.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Build a better team for five years.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the players got to go make some plays.
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: Too well, and like to your point, Matt, like maybe
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: maybe that's why you need to focus, right, maybe they
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: maybe they weren't enough in the past. And then like
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: you were talking, okay, we'll focus on the next game.
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: This is the next game, says it, like, go get
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: it all.

• 36:31

  Speaker 4: Hey five, I'll have five.
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: There's not.
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: Of course, if it wasn't for that movie, I'd have
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: no idea.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean the song that movie probably came
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: out before you were.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: So we had to watch it in English or the
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: Spanish because we watched well.
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: We watched it in our Spanish class in school. Spanish
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: anything for CEL two Spanish is in high school for
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: in college.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: It should have been better at football.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: I was a communication study for a little while at
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: LSU and dropting because I had.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: To take a foreign language.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: It out?
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: Did you?
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: I was?
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: I was a how'd you do that?
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: I tested out that they gave me enough credits to
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: minor in it.
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: We shouldn't have had to have taken English classes.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: I bet that.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: When I was in high school, I was we had
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: to take Spanish classes like Spanish one and two. And
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: there was people in our class that were like from
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: Mexico that spoke it fluently English with their secon language.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: They were in that class, and of course they got
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: an A.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: And so I made there argue about senior year, like
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: let me take e s L which is English for
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: the second language.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Was like, let me take that so I can get
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: it like the.
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: Same, right, I mean, I agree, right, yeah, how are
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: you allowed to take that?
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: As your no, are well like the kids that they
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: still had to learn English and you still have to
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: learn Spanish, Like there's still you still have to learn
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: two languages. I just knew both already.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Wasn't fair.
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Are both your your parents can both?
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah? My mom so like both my parents speak Spanish.
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: I think I think being able to learn second language
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: is like one of the biggest flexes you can have,
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: like you're fluent two languages.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: To me, like we were in Omaha and I felt
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: so bad because our uber driver couldn't speak English, like
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: he only spoke Spanish. And sometimes I get like embarrassed
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: whenever I started speaking Spanish, but like I felt so
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: bad for him that I just started talking.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, gosh, I think that is, like, like I said,
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: the ultimate flex.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: And most people around the world can do it except.
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: For Americans, no, I know, like whenever like an American
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: goes over and they play in uh, you know, the
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: Bundesliga or La League or whatever, like they learned that language,
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: and I'm like, man, that is it's easy.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: It's right there, like do it because they have to
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: If you want to make life easy for you, you
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: learn German or you learn Italian.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Whatever it might be. There all close together, English and Rednecks.
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: Speaking of English people and music. We brought up Bittersweet
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: Symphony earlier. Yeah, we did a little research.
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, the song.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: The song came out in nineteen ninety seven. Soon after
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: its release.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: There was a manager for the Rolling Stones, Alan Klein.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: They thought that it sounded like an old Rollingstone song
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: called the Last Time, so they originally sued, saying that
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: it like exceeded the licensing blah blah blah. They shoot
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: in exchange for fifty percent of the royalty split, but
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: like soon after that they were like, nah, that's not
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: even good enough. We're gonna sue again, and they took
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: all royalties so bitter the verve never made any royalties
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: for like twenty years on that song that they created
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: it right, for twenty years. But after Alan Klein, I
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: think he passed away in seventeen or nine teen. Uh,
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: Keith Richards Make they all gave back.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Okay, I gave the rights of the verb.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, hey, rolling Stone, Okay.
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: This is the song. They saved.
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: Every single song, Like when it comes on the radio today,
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: it's like, oh.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: There's only so many in stands. Right, there's only so
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: many notes out there, Yeah, so many.
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: All the pro moved by klein Man, pro move. That's
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: a pro move.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: I will your I will say that's one about that guy.
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: One of my favorite things is like when a song
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: starts and somebody thinks it's the new song. Yeah, it's
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: like no, no, no, this is like the original version that
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: came out twenty years ago that they sampled.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: All right, those dang selfish Brits.
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: That's why we declared our independence birthday.
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: Marcas, You're fired.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: This is I mean the Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones. This
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: is a better song.
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: This is a this is a great song. I don't
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: really listen to the Rolling Stones all that much.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: I do, but not like a lot of Right, this
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: song dumps on the last time by the Rollings.
