• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Was it Chiefs the Holic thing?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Awesome?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: So Chiefs the Holics gout to rob the bank.
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: The banks, the Chief the guy that dresses a wolf. Yeah,
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: and he robbed all the banks and sat front Road
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: every Chiefs game.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So backstory me on in the listeners on who Chiefs
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the Holic is, and then talk about that show.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: He's a super man, a Chief superfan that went to
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: every single game. And when you talk to people that
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: go to Chiefs games. Everyone knows him. He's very sociable.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: He goes to every tailgate. He's got front road to
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: every single game. Well, what happened was he just kind
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: of he was really big on Twitter and like social media.
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: All of a sudden, he goes radio silent. So everyone
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: at the games, all his friends, his fans, everything is
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: just like, what's happening. He tweets like ten times a
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: day and there's been nothing. Well, turns out he was
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: robbing a bank and he got and he had robbed many, right,
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: So it turns out that he had robbed out robbed
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: a bunch of banks and that's how he was funding his,
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: you know, his like lifestyle.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So when they actually because again I knew the broad strokes,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: so they didn't know he had robbed many until they
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: wondered why he wasn't responsive this one time, they found
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the robbed one bank and from that one bank, if
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm right, didn't they like place the banks at all
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: away games like he would like rob as he was
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: going to the away games.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: Every away game that's on the way, he would rob
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: a bank's dedication.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: He was even in Nashville. He robbed a bank here.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so where's he now? Well, you don't want to say,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: they don't spoil it. I don't want to say, because
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it, so don't spoil it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: And the reason I don't want to say is because
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: I had forgotten how this whole thing ended. I probably
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: knew at some point by reading the news, but I'd
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: forgotten and it helped me enjoy the documentary a lot.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I love better.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I will watch it then it's on Prime.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: It's on Prime.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's called Chiefs a Holic, Chiefs the Halic.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: But dude, what's amazing about this documentary is the footage.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: So the documentary starts when he gets out of jail,
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: like so he gets arrested, and whoever made this documentary
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: was so smart to move so quickly on it that
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: the first footage of him is when he walks out
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: of jail, when he's out on bail, and the documentary
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: starts and they have footage of everything, him watching the
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: Super Bowl from a hotel room with an ankle bracelet on.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: All of it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm so in I want to leave right now
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and go and watch that because I knew that was
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: so muched in the story. I didn't know there was
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a documentary on it already. Dude, you guys would love
• 4:04

• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Robin thing?
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And I wouldn't either, because I've seen stuff about him.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He's annoying, his crap and he gets on like the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: message boards on Fight with like other hardcore fans. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: don't know if this is in the documentary, but he
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: would like get into it with like the guy from
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the Jets, what's his name? Like all the all the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: teams like have one of those super fans. Yeah, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: there was like this rivalry between them, and there would
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be rivalries between the teams and like a couple of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the super fans that were trying to be like the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: main super fan. I'm in chiefs a hall like the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: what do you give it?
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: What are you's hal like? Man, I give a four
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: point five wolf costume?

  Speaker 4: Wolf?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Well, no, wolf, I don't know, dude, wolf. Okay, love
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it I want to start with that. I want to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: go to this.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I think Caul Cookin is a bad person. And this
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: is not based on his political beliefs, because I don't
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: think anybody's a bad person based on their political beliefs,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: even if I disagree with them. I think call Cook's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a bad person based on his life. He's on a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: lot of shady things the whole in word, he just
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the other wrestlers, by the way, Jeff Jared's coming up,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and I think all Coed's a bad person, and I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: have thought that for a while. This story that I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: saw on TikTok about him, I want to play it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It's one minute long. The person who put the video
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: up is shady Underscore Spidey. Here we go hit it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: Imagine you meeting your childhood hero and you give him
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: a four thousand dollars gift and he turns around and
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: signs it and then puts it up for auction for
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: two thousand dollars.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: More than what it's forced.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Well, you don't have to imagine it, because that's what
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: happened to this guy who is a.
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: Very reputable person in the Facebook Wrestling Belts collecting group
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: and for him to post it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: That means it must be true.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And if you notice here.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Something that just struck a chord with me is someone.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Who lives paycheck to paycheck.
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: Gives a gift work four thousand to Cogan the Holster
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: then signs and lists of herself to six thousand.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, that's so scummy.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: That's so scummy.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: That's just that's in so many ways, Hulk Hogan is.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: He's doing very well for himself.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I can tell you.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: I've seen his his shop not far from where I live.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: He's doing he's doing just fine.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: For him to put this piece of memorabilia up that
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: somebody gave.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: To them, it's roll. I was blown away, except I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: really wasn't that blown away based on other things that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I've even heard that I won't mention here on the air.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I remember also Haul Cocon had sex with his friend's wife.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's funny, really on camera. There's a tape right now, Yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: tape love fung, Yeah, Bobby loves fine.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, so here's the thing. You got a superfan that
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: probably saved up a lot to go meet his hero
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and give him a gift, and then whul Cogin just
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: let's say he just sold it. He just immediately, even
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if he wants to hold it for a couple of years,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: even that's better. Yeah, you sell it. It's like Eddie
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: gave me this great hat.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I see that on e and be so pissed and
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: maybe two years not so much.
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: One time, when I put a book out, I think,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in my second book.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: No no, we're not talking about we're not talking about this.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't like this grand gesture, but I was like,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'll give it all my friend's books, enter a little
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: note how important they were to me in the process
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and in general. And then somebody sends me a picture
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of the book that I gave Eddie at a thrift store.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Now she called in on the radio show, but.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I got the pictures though, oh yeah yeah. So it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: like Eddie, dude, your best friend, and she found it
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: like a thrift store. And it was like, I think
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: this was a book that you must have given Eddie. Yeah,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it is a person, it's a true story. And the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: first thing I did was text my wife like did
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you get rid of my book? And she said, I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. And I told bones
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I promised I did not sell that book.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I didn't do anything with it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: But turns out my wife did grab a bunch of
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: books and took it to like Goodwill or whatever.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And I guess mine was just in a bunch of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: random books. And I was gonna say it felt note
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I have a picture of it, Eddie dude bade. Yeah,

  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you shared the story in the green room.
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: And then I had to go take a leak at
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: some point, so I'm like, all right, let me, I'll
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: go like scope out the situation. So then I went
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: to the urinal and uh, you know, everything smelled okay
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: in there, but I was leaking. And then all of
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: a sudden, I hear someone behind me just whistling, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: it was the handyman and he goes into the bathroom
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: that read.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Just annihilate for the first time. He must he must

  Speaker 1: You heard him see acknowledge and get pissed.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: It, And I wouldn't.

  Speaker 1: I would have thought somebody saw it ended it anyway,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that's what happened.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that's what he thought.
• 12:14

• 12:16
  Speaker 1: like they saw the tools and they still took it
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: down and hair I felt so bad. I felt so bad.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: It's just like one of those deep breaths. So you're
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: just like, man, I just.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:26
  Speaker 13: And then there's a layer to it where Kate I
• 12:28
  Speaker 13: was coming in this case, I know anything happened before.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: I was trying to keep it cool and it came
• 12:32

  Speaker 13: go or something. So restarted telling me the story was like,
• 12:39
  Speaker 13: were you in there to and that guy Sam, He's like,
• 12:41
  Speaker 13: I think it was a maintenance guy pissed off and rightfully.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: So you didn't do anything with any malicious.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he desecrated the whole would have annoyed. There
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: are tools there was taking apart and dude like he's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: like the nicest, kindest guy.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Of all of us, just a mountain.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: All right, man, Eddie, how do you feel about going
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to the Chargers?
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Huh?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Zeke going to the Chargers having good luck? I mean
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: good luck.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: What are the gonna do with him? Is he gonna
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: play like just in case?
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah?
• 13:18
  Speaker 11: Because is it Dobbins or Edwards? One of them is hurt?
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I think Dobbins got banged.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: Kim backup thing they said, you know, I think Jerry
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Jones said that we're gonna give him a chance to
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: maybe join a team that can play in the playoffs
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: or something like that. So they let him go, which
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: I thought was a lie. And like, okay, yeah, right,
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: like the Eagles are gonna pick him up.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, but yeah he's going to Hey.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: He's going to the playoffs. Go right, Zee, you did it, dude,
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: But I mean, what's he gonna do? I'm not worried
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you shouldn't be worried. I wonder how it made
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you feel, though, But I guess the fact that he
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: already left once for a team doesn't make it so weird.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Had you been a cowboy forever? Yeah, and then he
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: goes and does this, it's weird to see him another uniform,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like Emmitt Smith as an Arizona Cardinal. It's still strange.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Olajuwan as a Toronto Raptor is still odd. But
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Zeke did leave. But it is kind of cool that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you can just go and jump on a playoff team
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: for him, that's pretty cool. It's like Cowboys over, we suck,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: but hop on this team.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: What's his name, Teddy Bridgewater just did that for the Lions.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: He's just going to get a ring.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And he wasn't even playing. Like he coached high school,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: won a state championship first year coaching the high school team,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and then went back and is now the backup in Detroit, Wait.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Bridgewater got out of the league for a little bit.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: He coached high school fotball, like technically retired. He won
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the state championship in Florida.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I did not know that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 14:34
  Speaker 11: Back with the Lions.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he signed on.
• 14:36
  Speaker 11: I have not seen that.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Amazing a couple of weeks ago or something like that. Yeah,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that's the life, never giving up.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: They say he's one of the smartest players in the NFL,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and yeah, obviously he's not starting. And they think that
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: he's smart enough to win emergency situations. He could come
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in and be a good backup, a dependable backup.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you should watch some of the videos. I'm
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: talking about hig School, FOTBA and how he tough loved them,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: gets tough love he because he grew up I think
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in a similar area and that's why he was there coaching,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and he was like when we got in trouble and
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: he talked about how he would grab the face. You
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: have to watch the clip, but he's he went hard
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: on those kids and they want he goes because these
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: kids are from a place where it's hard all the time,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: because it's not like he's coaching at a rich school.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And he's like they some of them don't have moms,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: some of them they don't even know their dads, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the only way you can get to them is hard,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and he go, he goes, and I have to go
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: hard because they had to go hard on me. And
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: at first you're going when they just show some of
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the clips of him going at some of the kids,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you're like, dang, remember Trent Dilforth thing. Yeah that was
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: at a rich school. Yeah, that was a rich kids. Yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and it was like, dang, that's hardcore, dude. But he
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: sets it up and he tells why. He goes, a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: lot of these kids don't have parents, and the only
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: way to get to them is this, and he goes,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: when I go circle up and they circle up, they
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: know it's about to be real bad because he just
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I mean gets in there a one, say championship. Where
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: was this like in Florida. Somewhere in Florida. Yeah, yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I wish I was. I'm not prepared, but I did
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: keep up with.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: It the whole That's that's cool. I did not know that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Pretty cool.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And now he's backing up the Lion's good story. Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Do we care that they have wid
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a winning record every year for one hundred years?
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: M Okay, it's pretty cool, go ahead, and that's I mean,
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: it's it's cool. They've always been relevant, which is crazy.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: Right with Tomlin too, He's never had a losing record.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: But I think a lot of Pittsburgh fans are kind
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: of tired of him though. That's like the vibe that
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: I get.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It's easy to be tired of somebody until you get
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: somebody that's worse, right, and then you miss whenever you
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: had something good.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I take Mike Tomlin and Hart me too.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And Tomlin did win a super Bowl, yeah, thirty years ago,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: but he did win a super Bowl. On the show
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: that I do for NFL now, I was talking to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Kurt Warner about this specifically, and I said, hey, man,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: are the Steelers in like purgatory because they never lose
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: enough to have a top pick. They never are able
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: to win enough to win a championship. It's always they
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: have a good coach, they win ten games, nine ten games.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: It's like a purgatory type place because they don't have
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a top three pick. They're never able to get one
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of those quarterbacks. And he had a pretty good diplomatic
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: answer and he was like, you know, there are a
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: few quarterbacks there, you know, Lamar Jackson drafted thirty first,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: fewer and far between. But it's like they have to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: get the quarterback situation right and they haven't. And I'm
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a big believer of and not in the Pittsburgh situation only,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: but if think things are mid to slightly below mid
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: for a long time, sometimes you have to burn it
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: all down, Yeah, because then the NBA, especially you don't
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: want to be a five hundred team. You either want
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to be terrible or you want to be awesome and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: have a chance at the title. Otherwise you're just gonna
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: stay mid because you're drafting after nine in the first round.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Right, everyone's a project at that point.
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: It doesn't have the league go to the playoffs anyway
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: in the NBA, but it doesn't matter if you don't win,
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: it doesn't matter, like if you're not if you don't
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: have a shot at it, like be terrible, be Houston,
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: be Detroit, and look at Houston now NBA.
• 18:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Celtic's got Tatum and Jaylen Brown top three because
• 18:08
  Speaker 13: of that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hey rock Bottom, I.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Think the Steelers will be crazy to move Toman's awesome,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: but and they're trying. Here's the thing. If they weren't
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: trying in the quarterback spot, I would go, maybe it
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: is time to move on. But they are trying because look,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: they went and got Russ. Had to pay no money
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: for like a million bucks. It's it Denver's eating like
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that money. Yeah, they wouldn't got Justin Fields, who's had
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to play and that's played pretty well at times because
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Russ is not playing that well, right, now.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: I mean, I wonder if they're gonna use justin fields
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: in this game coming up, maybe a couple of packages, but.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: May package yeah, package yeah. I still think you don't
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: pull Russ now because it's the playoffs and he's won
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl too, But I I like, I feel
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: with my team we have hit our ceiling. Cowboys Arkansas
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: got it like we're gonna be mid just slightly below
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: mid until something drastic happens, and that sucks. And I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: like the coach. I like Sam Pittman as a person
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a lot, and I think he's a really good offensive
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: line coach. He's been a fine head coach. But the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: problem is in the SEC at Arkansas. That's two difficult things.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You're in the SEC, the biggest, strongest conference ever, So
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: if you don't have something extremely dynamic, you're already not
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: even with the big schools. You're not even to start
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: with the and we can list them all the LSUS,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the Georgia's, the Alabamas, and the I mean, look at
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a team like Ole Miss who now is winning. That's
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: who we're the same with. And they went dynamic with
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin who's able to dynamically get Innil money because
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: people believe in him, so you need us even if
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the splash misses hard. I'm much happier losing, trying really
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: hard and losing bad then being pretty good without a
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: real chance. I feel like now we don't have a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: real chance at Arkansas to win ten games. We're gonna
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: win five six games. We want six games this year.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Playoff games or the Bowl game does an account because
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: everybod's playing half a team. But I think Pittsburgh is
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: not that. I think Pittsburgh if they get the quarterback situation, right,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I think they're really good. Again. Yeah, it's just the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: hardest thing to do. And I think they had a
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: top pick that's great. But they're so well coached, they
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: have a great personnel. Just about everywhere else Pickens is nuts.
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I think if.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Pickens had a quarterback though, that could slap some of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: that nuts out of them. It would be different.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah right.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I mean Randy Moss is nothing to play with Tom
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Brady yep. And then you have to respect Tom Brady,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you don't. You know Antonio Brown was nuts until he
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: left the Patriots.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: That was crazy.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so ghos Steelers keep Tomlin, but don't go Steelers.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Hope you lose. They're probably gonna lose.
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: I think a ten point Yeah, nine and a half.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's going to be closer than that.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just because of those two teams. Yeah too, those
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: two teams do play, right.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I still think they lose, but yeah, and.
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: They're kind of Lamar's nemesis, Like I think he's lost
• 20:57
  Speaker 13: six of eight or something like that with them.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Whatever reason like that last one a few weeks ago.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: It is the first rivalry, and professional sports rivalries are weird.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: The fans can hate each other, but that is a rival.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, and it's Hardball and Tom.
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: When they've been doing it now for like almost fifteen years,
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: it seems like right wild two thousands.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the FLA Lewis Days thing. All right when you
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: hear this, because we're doing this Thursday afternoon. The Notre
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Dame Penn State game happened already, so it's not like
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that. But congrats and Notre Dame
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: for winning. Played great. How about Penn State? They won
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: then won one of the big ones. That's cool. Good
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: for them. We're not gonna edit either one of these
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: out either. We could we're not going to.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: We can't be wrong.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just what what a game?
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: That's awesome?
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: Crazy.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it's a blowout. Oh, I did not
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: expect that.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I saw that.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Who saw that coming? Wow? Wow? Okay, cool coming on
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: that one. And then tonight Ohio State of Texas. These
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: are the two teams I hate the most.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Of the four, so you won't watch.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: No.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I hope Ohio State does go bt A on them,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: like and I hope it's a belt that has like
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: shards of glass on it. Oh my goodness, they take
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: that bt A, they go belt and they just make Texas.
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: I didn't know what BTA meant.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Now I know, Yeah, you know what I mean. Belt
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to Hey work, Mike Hey. Feeling Texas fan every time
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: somebody says that.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Now, I just want us to win more.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Like everybody's been saying that we're ready to get.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: Rolled, and now I just believe that we have a chance,
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: just because everybody's saying we have no chance.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Let's go Arizona State. You got pretty lucky playing now,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: let's be honest, not not a great team.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Lucky you played Scataboo.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Not a great team. A little bit but they had
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: what it took to one. Yours came through. Not a
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: great team. You shouldn't even been close like you should
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: have when when they did look at the five star
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and four stars on each team, it was not even
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a comparison with the two teams Week one. It's been
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: so long with the playffor I know Texas played mikel
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: text play we want not a good team, not a
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: good team. You're good about to play a good team,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: really good and you know what, I guess I kind
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of went either way because I hate Ohio State too,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: but I just hate Texas.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: More them to both lose.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I tried that. It didn't work. I tried that Texas Clemson.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't work.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I tried that. It didn't work. So Ohio State's only
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a six point favorite. I thought it would be a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: little more than that. But I guess because Texas actually
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: has really talented players and Sark is a great offensive mind. Yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and if so we're coaching anywhere else, it'll be like, oh,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I like sorry, but he's running the Iraqi Army, so
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: it don't matter.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Who you are.
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: They got the dudes, but so did Oregon.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: HM.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Ohio States got the dude.
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: Dude, like, we got so well two games in a row.
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: It's like, come on, there's no way.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Games like monster trucks demolishing the little cars that are
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: sitting there in the speedway. Two really good teams. That
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: organ game was over. I mean it was like the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: game on. It's like it's the Homer Simpson gift Mike.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: He walks in Grandpa Citizen. Yeah, it takes his hat off,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: but that guy turns around, grabs it walks out. That
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: was Oregon in that game. As far as the NFL games,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and we can do this and set our parlay real quick.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: And then we have Jeff Jarrett, which was awesome for me.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I'm a massive wrestling fan and Jeff Jarrett he Pro
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Wrestling Hall of Famer, like still doing it. Okay, let's
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: do parlay here. We have to we have to parlay.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Man. We got it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: So sad have you been thinking about it?
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: We got it?
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I just I like to go. I believe I'm gonna
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: win this game. I'm way down though.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: By the way, are you warming up though?
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: No?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: No, it's still cold, it's freezing. It's still in the freezer.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm excited to watch the games and not
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: bet because it's been so bad for me and I
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: don't I just don't want our listeners think. Oh, he
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: always says when he went no, no, I'm wait, I'm
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: losing terror at a terrible pace. Okay, pick one of
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the games, Kevin, you can go what stands out? I mean,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: let's just walk the line. Chargers minus three at the Texans,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Steelers at the Ravens. Ravens favorite Mine nine and a half,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: broncos of Bills, Bill's eight and a half point favorite,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Packers at the Eagles, Eagles four and a half point favorite.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Commanders at Bucks Bucks minus three. So every home team
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is favored except the Texans. The Texans are at home
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and they're the dog. Take a stab.
• 25:29
  Speaker 11: Come on, Kevin, let me go the Steelers.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Mike.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: If we do four, really put it up on the app.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: I can see.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, So you're gonna go Steelers plus.
• 25:37
  Speaker 11: Nine and a half plus nine and a half.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, stupid question. Can I take the Ravens and then
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: cancel that one out and then you picked two? Can
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: you do the opposite of the same, Parlan, I've never
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: done that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: You would lose the money, You lose the the what's
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the in the parlay? You would lose because if you
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: miss any stupid Yeah, so he but he has taken
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: so you cannot take that game, Eddie. So he's got
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Steelers plus nine and a half, and we'll try to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: get this on DraftKings, Eddie, go ahead.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: I think the Bills are gonna roll. I think the
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: Bills will have no problem taking on Denver and they
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: are favored by eight and a half.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: Let's do it.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Bills eight and a half, Bills plus eight and a
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: half minus eight and a half.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Bills minus eight and a half. Yeah good,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get just go Bucks money line. It's this
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: good smallest spread. It's at home a coin flip that
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: one wins by a field goal, you know, like last
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: minute kick. So I go Bucks money line. That's three.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: We need four, mic Yeah, I'll do four.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Man. How about Eagles minus four and a half.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: How about it? Or just money line? What do you
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: think two? I'd say anything three over three? Take do
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a spread.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Three is close enough to feel like money and you're
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: not gonna lose too much. Yeah on the odds, all right,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Eagles minus I believe in them.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Maybe good goal.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Kind of so we have and would you text this
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Kevin to to Eddie and I or whatever we do
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: just so I know instead of it like being what
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: do we beta? Steelers plus nine and a half, Bill's
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: minus eight and a half, Eagles minus four and a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: half bucks money line?
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, what do you think?
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: I was gonna say the Rams actually, because I think
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: the Vikings are a slight favorite, I would right.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Oh it's a Monday, yeah, got it, got it, got it?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: So I hate that was my choice.
• 27:36

• 27:37
  Speaker 1: like a day. You didn't realize it when you bet it?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yep?
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: No, you know what I did one time? I picked
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: one for the next week.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Because you like scrolled down and I think I've done
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that too. I've done that, not in a party, just

• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Now some clips will come up, like I can't act
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: like I'm a big Roman Reigns fan. I know who
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: he is, No, not new, but he's like the biggest now,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: like Cody Rhoads. Like absolutely I saw him, I'd be
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: like to Cody Roads. But I'm a massive wrestling fan,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: like over the course of my life. And Jeff Jarrett, dude,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: he's been around in so many like just decades, and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he's been champion here in WCW and AW and so

• 29:46
  Speaker 1: jarreted he recently announced he signed his final contract, gonna

  Speaker 1: be hanging it up in the near future. He has
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a big goal in mind for this year, and we
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: talk about that. He gave us some great insight we
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: talked called Cochin, which you could tell I won't put
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: words in his mouth, but you could tell he felt
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: very very similar to how I and I wasn't trying
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to lure him into anything get clickbait. That you can
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: definitely tell that maybe Hulk wasn't his favorite guy either. Eddie,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: what did you think of the interview? Just yeah, thoughts
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: before before we play that.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: I mean, I thought that you truly enjoyed every minute
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: of this interview like me, Yeah, you just you loved
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: asking questions. When he would talk, you would just light
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: up and you have another question right after it. So
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: it's really cool to see you get lit up by
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: like an interview. Weird way to say it, but you
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: know what I mean, weird way to say it. Ye, yes,
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: here he is Jeff Jarrett. Great to see you again, man.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I watch first of all follow you on Instagram, So
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like I still like talk even though that's
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a weird part of life where you see someone, but
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: also like I see all your like your a w
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: stuff because I'm a big wrestling fan.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Get out of here, my well, you are from Arkansas.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: And you're not even kidding because that's what we had,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Like we would drive to Memphis as a young kid
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and go to the Pyramid, you know, and do the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Mid South stuff. Like I caught the very back end
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: of the.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Von Erics, so I should know this. We're in Arkansas, so.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: It's nearly it's a six hundred people small town.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: In four hundred like Para, Gold Black Oak, all.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Schools we played in sports. Yeah, so I'm from a
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: town called Mountain Pine. We would never get a wrestling
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: but Hot Springs was big enough that occasionally.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: So you're that toward Hot Springs, Yes, got it? Okay,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: so what you really are?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Hell dude, we are hillbailing for sure. For sure. And
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: so yeah, so my TikTok is all like nineties of
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: two thousands wrestling, Like that's my algorithm that I'm on
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: because I watched so much of it. Oh boy, that
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I followed your entire arc you know, of which arc exactly?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. But they are like multiple versions.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just let me start with now. Because I have
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: friends that played like professional sports, one who played professional
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: NFL for a long time, and I was like, man,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: after every game does it hurt? And as a professional wrestler,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: after every match, do you just know it's going to
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: hurt for a couple of days?
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: You know, Bobby, that is a really a loaded question,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: because this may sound crazy at fifty seven years of age,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I wish I could wrestle more because the wrestling like
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: every three weeks or once a month, I know, for
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: the next forty eight seventy two hours, and I'm all
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: into the recovery and the cryo and saw no's and
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But there's just something about
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: the lactic acid build up and it's rough. I mean,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I hate to admit it, but it is really rough,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: even one.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Off, because I feel like I work out hard, but
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I do it hard three times a week, and even
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: my like to guess I'm older, it's old and so
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine going as hard as you're going. But
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: also once every three weeks, that's like doing bench press heavy.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Once every three you'd be so freaking sore. But doing
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: what you're doing with your full body, I would imagine
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: you're so sore or you've taken so many bumps that
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: it just kills your neck and back.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Well, just the sore it is.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: But I.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: It's funny since the last time we saw each other,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: man my life is I guess you just sprinkled some
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: of that Bobby Bones gold dust on me. It's changed
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: so many ways. But you know, during the pandemic, we
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: were all shut in and all that, and I won't
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: say the word, but I got really sick and I
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: was down fit of my back for about two weeks.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And when I was laying there, I said, you know what,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get in the best possible shape I
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: can when I get out of this bed. And I
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: really put my mind on it. So I've trained harder,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: worked harder, not just with weights cardio flexibility.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Has that become more important to me?
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: I do you?
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I have my streak still going, but I do yoga
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: every morning for the last seven years or six years.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: However it is why what do you find about the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: flexibility part of it?
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I live by this my chiropractor. He's really applied kinesiologists.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: He looked at me one day when I was on
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the table and he said, if you want to live
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: a long life, live a long life. And then he
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: just meant me, he said, man, you got to increase
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: your flexibility. And there's a lot that goes with that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: But I have found that I am stronger, faster, feel better.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Not when you wrestle, you're still gonna have that soreness.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: But but I do the stretching and the yoga and
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: the breathing and everything that goes with it, I do
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: feel a notice a little bit better. I have better energy.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: You know. Another thing. During the pandemic, I got on
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: this here and said you got to get out of
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: this house. So that but I walked every afternoon for
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: like ninety minutes and before the sun will go down,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: and I've kind of found just the movement. It just
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: really has helped me, not just physically, I think mentally
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: and emostally as well. Just a little quiet time with God,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: if you will.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I think wrestling fans are great historians. I'm a mid
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: wrestling historian, but I think that there's a respect to
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the wrestlers that have lived many lives for our enjoyment.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: And you're one of those guys. Do you feel when
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: you go in and you your pop happens, or maybe
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: it's not, it's the reverse. Do you feel the wrestling
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: fan honoring you and other wrestlers that have been around
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: for twenty thirty years in a way that's never happened before.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: So I'm not only a wrestling junkie, but I just
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: kind of like data and when you look at look,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not comparing it, but you know, you look at
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: you two or the Stones or I'll call them all
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: the legacy acts, and just they keep on and they
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: keep on, and they keep on, and they're selling the
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: tickets and on that. And then when I go out
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: to your point and I hear the response a lot
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: of times, we'll call it that nostalgia pop because there
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: is so much going on in this world today and
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: our roster is almost two hundred deep. But when you
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: kind of look at at a graph in the amount
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: of times and the impressions, if you will, that I've
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: been on TV or you know, just been around people
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: know me, they like me, or they don't like me.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: But yes, there is a response. And last summer I
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: did about a ten minute sit down interview that we
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: aired on YouTube, and I've had more people come up
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: because it was a historical piece, but also I touched
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: on Owen Hart and really got into that. And we
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: have a tournament at aw called the Owen Invitational. But
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: that was something that brought the fans that had never
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: heard of Jeff Jared or Owen Hart or whatever. It
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: just kind of brought them up, like, oh, this guy's
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: been around a while. So yes, the short answer to
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: your question, I told you how to build a watch
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: as opposed to what time it was.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: But yes, I feel like even the young wrestlers are history.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: You almost have to be knowledgeable in the history of wrestling.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: It's almost like country music, or if you're a young
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: country music artist, you almost don't get the pass unless
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: you can prove that. You can't get across this part
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: of the bridge, unless you prove that you're an actual
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: fan and that you've spent your life valuing it. And
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like that with the young wrestlers, even towards
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: some of those guys like yourself in the nineties two thousands,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: like that has to happen.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: You know. What I have.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Observed is that the guys that really don't know the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: history of wrestling, they're not around, you know, in three months,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: six months, and nine months. They weed themselves out because
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, what we do is
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: not easy and they're like, you know, I don't really
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: like this stuff, and they excuse them way out of
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the business one way or another.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Can ask one one hard question, Oh, fire away, we
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: were watching that pay per view. You can't city, right,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: did you at the time, Were you surprised they continued
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: the show?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Not at the time. I don't know if we talked
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: about this last time, but that was the one thing
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: when I went into recovery that I never processed at
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: all at the time. It was I hate to say it,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: but it was work. And I've talked to his widow Martha,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: and extensive conversations all that, but it was just we
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: were in a place that his match was on before me.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: You know, the backstage stage manager came and said, hey,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Owen's going to the ring. You're up next. So I
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: had in my mind about eighteen fifteen, eighteen minutes and
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: like three minutes later they came said you're on now,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: and I went did a promo and all that stuff
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: was going around. They wheeled his body right beside me
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: and I went to the ring. Did that came back?
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Cop was there. I said, I want to go to
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: the hospital right now. But it was as I hate
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: to say this, but it was the reality and it
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: called up to me. It was, unfortunately, in my mind,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: another day at work with a tragic accident.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: The blood and the ring and afterward, it's easy to
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: look at it because I think I would have felt
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the same as you as a performer, and there were
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: still a lot of questions, and until Jim Ross came
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: on later, I was like, and but again, you guys
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: are there on the ground. I definitely don't want to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: make this in a heart thing, but I've been thinking
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: about this. I think I would have been the same.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I'd have been like, we go until we're told not
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: to go, and then we figured out after it's over.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: No doubt I got in the ring. To this day,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched that back, that match back for a
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: number of reasons. But I felt the top rope very
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: very loose, and I went over in the corner where
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: his body had fallen and there was and I can
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: talk about it now. For years I wouldn't talk about it,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: but there was a dip in the ring. There was
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: no blood, and it was where his body had fallen.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: And I just had a sense on okay in my
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: gut and I didn't process it and intellectually think it through,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: but in my gut I was like, Okay, this is bad.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Did I invent the blood in the ring?
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Up?
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: In my head? There was a little bit on the corner, Okay, Yeah,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: there was some, but it wasn't.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: In the ring where you're actually wrestling. Okay, got it.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, his head hit the top rope severed as a order, so.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Do you know the story? Yet he fell from the top.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Really it was on a wire and he came down.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Was he with the Blue Meanie or Blue Blazer?
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: So?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: And it ended up being like the contraption from what
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: that I heard, the contraption's fault.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: He was repel, supposed to repel in the ring and
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: the top feet in the air, repel into the ring,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: let go of his harness, and then wrestle. He was
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: up top and the however, it released and he felt
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: eighty two feet to his death.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Wow, in the middle in the middle of the show,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Like did you know that, Kevin? No, yeah, you watched
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: that live zones. They didn't show. So we're watching the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: pay per view and they didn't show it because the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: camera the camera was just away and they came back.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: He was just hanging up there ready to go on Q. Yeah,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: T lower. So they were doing other on it things
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: So no, they didn't they didn't show. You didn't see
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: it happen. You just saw after and they kept going
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and even watching it. But again, in my mind, I've
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: seen so many stories of what was happening at the
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: time that I think even my memory has been affected
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: by all the docus And but now you see like
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: people cutting promos live crying, not knowing because they but
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: they know what had happened. I don't understand that, but
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you answering that. Yeah, can I.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Give you a little ironic please do that? Please do
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: uh So, back in those days it was WWF and WCW.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: That was the May pay per view of WWF the
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: May WCW payper Because I left WWF and went to WCW,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I was on that pay per view in a triple
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: cage and I had to climb sixty two feet up
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: the following year exact same building. The ironic part of
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: all that is it took me a long time, Bobby.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I bet, just because one, even if it's just your
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: friend or your coworker, but two, like you.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Were on right after Yeah, it was right after life.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Why what why are you still going? Because you're still
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: good too, Like why are you quitting? I have like
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: all these questions, like you shouldn't be as good, like
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: you still got it. It's crazy like, okay, why are
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: you still going? But also why are you quitting? Uh?
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Well, let's just say this. I made the announcement every year. Literally,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: this is my thirty seventh career year, and I did this.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I can't say I did it the first seven or
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: eight years, but my dad and me had a conversation
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: one year, and out of that conversation, I said, Okay,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: every December, I'm going to re evaluate what it's going
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: to look like next year, kind of reflect How'm gonna
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: get better and what am I going to do moving forward?
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: And I've done that every year. Years ago, I started
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: a wrestling promotion called TNA, and one of the main
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: things about that, Bobby was, is that I wanted to
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: step out of the ring. You know, my grandmother said
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: you can wrestle, but don't wrestle, become a wrestler, basically
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: keep your business cap on. And then just kind of
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: all this has transpired and got myself in shape. Had
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: no idea what I'd been doing here today, but a yeah,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, we did a thing with Rick Flair and
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Rick Flair's last match and went through all that, and
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: that led to another thing. So Bobby I only by
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: the grace of God am I still going wrestling.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: But I love it.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I will say that I have been really, really, really
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: lucky that I don't feel I've ever worked a day
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: in my life in a lot of ways. It's sure
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: there's a grind and there's a lot of travel, but
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love professional wrestling everything about it. I'm one
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: in five siblings. The other four had zero interest in it.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I got bit by the bug about two miles from here.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: This is where I grew up, down by Overton High School,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: and I just love professional wrestling everything about it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Are you how much a part of your creative are
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: you now?
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Very little? Very little? And that is That's been an adjustment,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: good and bad because I don't have the responsibility. It
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: is a full time, NonStop juggling act. But I have
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: a little to know real input. I can little tweaks
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: here and there, but for the most part, it's not
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: my ball of wax.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Who in your career was good enough that you just
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: you could if you had to just call the match
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: the entire time in the ring like you got to do,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Oh who was that good? Where you felt or you
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: had the chemistry with them?
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Shoot, I could go down the list. I'm you know
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Jerry Lawler. We wrestled many sixty minute broadways and he
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: wouldn't talk to me before we went out there, which
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: was kind of amazing to me. Shawn Michael's Kurt Angle.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: There's several guys that it's just when you have the
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: ability to kind of have a vision where you want
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: to go, and you know your opponent's strengths and weaknesses
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: and play to the strengths and diminish the weaknesses. There's
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: several guys that you could do that with.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Any of the guys ever protect you and you protect
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: them because you knew somebody was hurt during the match
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: and you communicated it and it's like my right shoulder,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: So then you continued to have the match, but you
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: just made sure to stay on the left shoulder, et cetera.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: You kind of always do that. That goes without saying yeah,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: when you said protect. I can remember breaking into the business.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: A wrestler came in who had a hair transplant. You
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: had to protect that. Don't touch my hair. Don't touch
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: my hair. But no, that goes with saying you it's
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a grind, so you have to be
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: aware of the health of your opponent.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: A couple of the bigger guys in my life that
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: apparently work pretty stiff, And I imagine if someone works stiff,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: you probably have to stiff back so you don't get hurt.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Is that how that would work? Like like Goldberg apparently
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: was stiff because he was like he didn't life to
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: come up. He was just he didn't know how to wrestle. Yeah,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: And they say that a lot about Ultimate Warrior, And
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I never wrestled either one of them, so I don't
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: know how stiff they are or how when you would
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: wrestle somebody that was stiff, how would you how would
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: you do the dance?
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: So this may be getting to get in the weeds.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I think there's a difference between between stiff and reckless.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Stiff you just work snug, you lay it in. I'm
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: a huge fan of that. We understand what we signed
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: up for, so get in there and don't don't make
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: everything so light. So stiff is one thing. A guy
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: who's reckless, the guy that might not have a skill set,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: might not have two left feet. If you will, you've
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: got to be completely well aware of what's going on,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: and you just can't put yourself in a position to
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: be hurt. You know, I've had several old timers, guys
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: that would come up to me and say, yeah, I
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: know why you're around. You wouldn't do a B and
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: C whatever the dump crap is. And I think there
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: is some validity to that that you have to be
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: really aware that don't give yourself. Don't give your body
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: to a guy that might not be mean spirited but
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: certainly doesn't know how to take care of you. And
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: then hey man, you're not eating the next week, you're
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: not earning a paycheck, So that's incumbent upon me.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: What about moves like the DDT or a pile driver
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: that is heavy neck if gone wrong, are there specific
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: guys that you were like, I trust them fully if
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: they're going to pile drive or ddtmy and you can
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: said the one you trust, you don't have say anything
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: about the ones you don't. But is that a thing,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: because again, those go wrong, that's real bad.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: So and you know we're gonna really get in the
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: weeds the different moves. But you got to just know
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: how to protect yourself.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: So it's on you. If you're getting pile drive, you
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: got to do the thing, you.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Better know how to protect yourself. Yes, without question, it's
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: you know, now, there's all kinds of new moves and
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: getting thrown and flips and that kind of stuff, and
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: sometimes guys put themselves in a position that you know,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: dang well, it's there is a high risk of injury
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: and they still do it. I just don't think that's smart.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Especially for anny longevity. That's why I quite wrestling guys.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: There we go. I was just like, I don't want
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: to do it once because.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: I'll die.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: If like if we like a guy like I could
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Cactus shack mankind, Mick Foley, whatever, who like. I don't
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: know how good of an athlete he was, because he
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: didn't look like an athlete, But my assumption is he
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: had to be a great athlete to last that long
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: and also live through some of the risks he took.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Was he an great athlete.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: He's a good athlete. He wrestled amateur, but you know,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: and we could probably go down a list of guys.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: But a guy like mcfoley, he had a passion, almost
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: to a detriment. I tell him that to his face,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: that he didn't mind sacrificing his physical health and gave
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: it to the fans. Look it, we're talking about him today,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: falling off a cage and all kinds of stuff.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: That's what I think of under the Undertaker, you know,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: falling excuse me, you know, falling through jumping off.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just think he has to because he
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: didn't look it. But that's part of his gimmick, right,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: even in mister Soccker, like all the things he did,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: he had so much around him, but always I mean,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: he must be a great athlete to be able to
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: live through this many things.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: He had a desire to perform like none other. You know,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: he feels it to this day. You see him walk
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: around today. He you know, he doesn't get around as
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: good as a I'll say a sixty year old man.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Should sounds like a former NFL player. And guys that
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: we know, they're like, oh, man, like, it's hard for
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: me to even get up in the morning because of that.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: When you wore pants, because you you were never you
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: mostly weren't tights. Guy, you had pants for a lot
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: of long tights. Yeah, it was all tights forever, like
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: you know we tights. Yeah, it was weird, the short tights. Yeah,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and I wear short biker shorts now yeah, but again,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: but you had pants, you have a whole long yes,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: for a long time. But like all those guys from
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: like early Teddy b Aussi, Bruno, San Martino, they all
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: had like these gimmicks and then they would just be
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: like just in tights, and I was when you started
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: to wear pants. Was that uncommon that people were wearing
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: things other than just the tights the very beginning of pants.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: So the easy analogy was, you know, prior to cable television,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: they were territory wrestling and it was truly called professional
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: whi and it was a mindset. Well, guy named Vince
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: McMahon came along and said, I'm going to turn this
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: into sports entertainment, and you kind of look at the
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: transition and look, in the early eighties there were long,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: tight guys, but it was you wear long tights or
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: short tights, but all the costuming and persona and yes,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: gorgeous George and the real hardcore wrestling fans going to
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: say no, they were doing this and that. But the
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: business really radically changed in the mid eighties when Haulclemania
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: came along and you saw talent, you saw wrestlers on
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: lunchboxes because of the licensing. And so when the licensing
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: came along, that's when the real define costuming and personas
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: and all that changed.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Who was your favorite wrestler as a kid?
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Lawlor Savage and that My original og was the fabulous
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Jackie Farco. I was mesmerized not just by his strut
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: but his demeanor.
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: You know, he.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: His promo skills if you will, he would just sit
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: there and talk and make you laugh. They didn't make
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: you cry. And then at the end of his promo
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: he would be very calm and cool and just say
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: I'm coming down the coliseum to kick your ass. And
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: I believed it. It was his delivery.
• 51:11
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: He was a really good actor that you wouldn't ever
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: want to call Jackie an actor. He called himself a
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: professional wrestler. But his delivery was so believable.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: When did you get in the zone with promos? Because
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: you're great, You're one of the best ever. But were
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: you all? I'm assuming you weren't alway, because I wasn't.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Always I was terrible. Yeah. When do a podcast drops
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: new every New my World my shirt on every Tuesday,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: they just we just recently played my very first promo
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I wasn't just bad, Bobby, I was horrible. But I
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: tell you what, the reps that I got WMC TV
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: and Memphis TV every Saturday morning at ten am going
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: out and do that that you just got it reps
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: and reps and reps. So it just took me a while.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: And then when I went to the WWF in nineteen
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: ninety three, it's the first time that I'd really been
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: produced by someone other than my father, and that that
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: was a difficult relationship to the years with my father,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: just because he's my dad, but he's also he was
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: harder on me than anybody, and he did that by design.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: But when Vince started producing me and brought things out
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: of me. And I tell guys today, man, find somebody
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: that you like, but they need to produce you don't
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: produce yourself.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Who as a peer was a great promo.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Man there. So I mean Lawler comes to mind right
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: up top, Mick Foley, really really good Stone Cold had
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: had had his stick down. If you want really really
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: good the rock of course, I tell you what you give.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Rode Dog Jesse James, Brian James. His father was Bullet
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Bob Armstrong, so he's a second generation Brian was one
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: of those guys like Fargo. He could make you laugh,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: he could make you cry, and then he could deliver
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: very very very very believable former marine, so he knew
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: how to yell.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: The road Dog was awesome.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Oh it fat.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: He did his own. He did his own too, like
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: coming out, Yeah, wrestling, I was watching any it's all
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: my algorithm. It's crazy what that, like the late nineties
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: would allow a wwf.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's well, yeah, you've been canceled. We've
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: been canceled a lot.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Crazy, I know, to look back and see some of that.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: There was one where Triple H was eating a hot
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: dog at a table and he's looking down and then
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh yeah, and then afterwards this girl just
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: climbs out from under the table like that was kind
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: of just as wild. But I'm like twelve, and I'm like, yeah,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about exactly a different world.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: And cable television was a different world.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: There wasn't four or five hundred channels and certainly not
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: YouTube and streaming all that. It was still truly cable television.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: The numbers when you just kind of look at everything,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: it was, uh, it was a fun time to be
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: alive in so many ways, But what exposure. Everybody watched
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: it back then?
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, well, especially when you're Hillbillies, like it was our
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: there you go, yeah, it was our sports.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: You didn't want to care about Titans and preads and
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: football and basketball. That's that highbrow stuff.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Now we wanted to go to Memphis and watch Junkyard
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Dog exactly because it was you know, did you watch
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Iron Claw b any chance?
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: You know what I did on a plane. It was
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: about a while after it came out, but I did.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: What did you think about it? The movie versus what
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: the reality?
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: So my father in nineteen eighty eight went out there. Yeah,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: my dad was right on the end of the movie.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: And so I lived those tragedies. And I get it,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: it's Hollywood. They did it for their own reasons. But
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: for me personally, That's why I don't want to sound like, oh,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: he's negge about this movie. But when I watched it,
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: my experience was I could not remove the real life
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: mentality of the Mints. Just unbelievable tragedy, and like Chris
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't even in the movie, and he was, you know,
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: it took his life, but wasn't even mentioned. And I
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: know they have their reasons and all that, but so
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: for a movie, I get it. You know, I'm certainly
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: not a movie critic by any stretch of the imagination,
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: but it was you know, on the one hand, I'm
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: glad they kind of in a way celebrated that story.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: But the real life story is much much, much more
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: tragic than the movie.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Which it is often the other way around is what's crazy?
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: And I think hopefully because I did this too, and
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: again I caught the tail end because Carrie was killing
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: it mid South when I was young and we'd drive over.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: But hopefully people watch the movie and then like googled
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: and then like red for real, because that's what I
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: did again, and it was like, oh yeah, I forgot
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: about all this, and I missed the older Von Eric's right.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: I wasn't old enough to see the older brothers. Are you,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you sad it's coming to an end?
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Or do you feel like you're going to come out
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: of retirement for the fourth time like the Stones?
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: No, Look, that's that's the thing. I was really back
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: to the situation that you know, this time in our business.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Just last week in Ashville, we did a show called
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: Fight for the following but it was Dynamite and it
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: was our first ever streaming episode. WW just premiered on Netflix.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: You know, we're on Max and so the business as
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: a whole is really transforming into it's going to the
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: next level. We just talked about the golden age of
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: cable television. I've been lucky enough by the greatest guy
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: to be around. Here's the next ride, and so as
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: a part of me signing my final contract, I just
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: kind of put that out there, because look, I'm not
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: riding off into the sunset. I'll be around in professional wrestling,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: but as far as an entering career, I just kind
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: of made up my mind that Okay, this is it.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: But I think I've also incentivized myself because I want
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: one last shot at gold. I want to go out
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: with a bang somehow someway and then be done with it.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: But I'm not ready as I sit here today to
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: be done with it at all.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Did you watch any of the WWE on Netflix. Yeah,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Hogan got booed hard.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: And I did not see that.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: I was surprised. Now, why only because it was such
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: a celebration of wrestling now, but also they had heroes
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: as well, and I was surprised because again, wrestling fans
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: are such historians. I was surprised they didn't just cheer
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: for the character, and they didn't. They booed the person,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: And well, why did they boo the person anything? I
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know your friendship. So I'm just gonna
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: say this. I don't think o Cookan is a good dude.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: And so I feel like, was it a political boo?
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 57:47
  Speaker 14: No?
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Because Undertaker got a pop, big pop an. Undertaker came
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: out and sport Trump, So that eliminated the political thing immediately,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: because I was like, let's not make this p I
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: don't want.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm That's why I'm curious. So it was lends.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: It was not to me.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: It was not political because Undertaker and Kane both sat
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: with Donald Trump and said we are saying vote for
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Hogan obviously he was make America great again.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: It was not political. People respect the Undertaker as a
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: wrestler and a person. People don't respect Holkogan anymore. It
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: just it's one thing after the other. Yeah, And I
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: think because of that, people now know there was a
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: story about Holcogin that I was going to talk about
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: on our show this morning, where this fan said, hey,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I saved up and gave hul Cogan this four thousand
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: dollars belt as a gift because it was like my hero.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Hulk signed it in auction, it sold it, hello and
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: sold it and sold it. So I think, yea, and
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: when there's one hundred of those things, I think those
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: people are cheering against that human. It was not political, Okay,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: they would have treated Undertaker the same way. Wow, that's
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: my thoughts.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: So I had a lot going on at my house
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: last night. I watched the first hour and a half
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: two hours. I did not see that segment. I saw
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: the very end of the last match. So you the
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: first conversation I've had, and that is that the whole
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Undertaker which you laid out for me, is interesting, but
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: it also, I guess to me, it jumps off of
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: the page. At the wrestling fan, there has been such
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: a stereotype, Oh my whole life, Oh you like wrestling,
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: You're a bunch of low brow entertainment, blah blah blah
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: blah blah. And at the end of the day, I've
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: always believed this professional wrestling fans are pop culture. Sometimes
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: we've been in front of the car, maybe sometimes not.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: But you look in political circles, it's a wrestling promo.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: You look at all the belts and all the you know,
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: there's so much to me. There's a lot of professional
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: wrestling in touchdown dances and celebrations and all kinds of things.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: But the wrestling fan is so easy to understand that
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: I have a you they put groceries on my table
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: for three generations. But I have a lot respect for
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: the wrestling fans because they will tell you what they
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: like and what they don't like, sometimes more importantly, and.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like they're educated, yes, And I feel like
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: they're so educated, myself being one, and that they still
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: enjoy it knowing what a shoot is, oh knowing it's always.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: Been irrelevant, but whether it's real or not. And that's
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: where the for those that.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: Believe that all saying, those that believe no explanations needed,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: those who don't believe no explanation will do about fresh wrestling.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: It's the true fan could have they could care less.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: They want to be entertained. But to your point, Hogan
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: didn't didn't pass the sniff test last night.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: It was embarrassing and they let him know it.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: That's where I respect the wrestling fan, like, okay, and
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming they were selling the beer right.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: On his shirt. He came out with a shirt. So
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: he comes out and he's like brother, and I was
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: not expecting them to do and I'm like, wow, they're
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: doing And so he has his beer on his shirt
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: and he ends up doing the shirt rip and it's
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: like Netflix, and that part I got. But he also
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: felt like a shill because he was just coming out
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: to sell his beer and how do you come out
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: in a whole Comania shirt? I think maybe slightly different,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: But even then, again, I was surprised that they just
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: didn't cheer the character, but they booed the human that's
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: a wrestling fan. And yes, and it wasn't political again
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: because like that they went undertake, they went crazy. I
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: love that the motorcycle around the ring because it was like,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: you know, American BA Undertaker motorcycle, not you know, death
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: motor you know, not dead not dead Bear. Yeah, that
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: kind of thing.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: But the where was Oh the world we live in now?
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Just the evolution of the business. I mean, I love
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: your beautiful new studios and I've heard you got a
• 1:01:43

• 1:01:46

• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: get to the airport to rent a car. He said,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: now you're with me, and so I rode with him
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: for a while and the salt of the earth. But
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: I mean a gentle giant.
• 1:04:23

• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: and people he was at River and a practical joker

  Speaker 2: and all this. But man, I was always amazed because
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: growing up in a wrestling family like myself, it's just
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: it were just kind of whack jobs. No, it's just
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: a different upbringing. Owen same thing. He's one of ten
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: kids and all that. But man, you talk about having
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: your head on straight, Owen to me is at the
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: top of that list.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: There are like four celebrities and I've been very fortunate
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: in my career to either have interviewed anybody ever want
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: to interview or do show or just like have relationships.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: And there's like four on my list that I've never
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: been able to get at. One of them is the
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: baseball player Mark Grace, number seventeen, for the Cup. My
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: favorite player growing up. Another one is David Letterman, like
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: my hero, right, David Letterman was my hero. I saw
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: somebody from I'm from the South but he's from Middle
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: America who looked a little odd. I was an odd kid.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, if he can do it. So
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: I have these people in my life that are the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: white whale that one of them of the four is
• 1:06:20

  Speaker 1: Absolutely? I wrote about him in my first book when
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I talk about influences that made me want and Sting
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: was one of them, And so I was like, he's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: my list of people I have never met that I've
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: been trying so hard to get to. Wow, And that's
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: what I'd like.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: To tell you. Consider it none. But I've got to
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: find out.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Why what I like him? You can Maybe I wouldn't
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: like him, you would.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: He's authentic, really authentic. Uh what a you know California
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: kid that you know played basketball and then got in
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: the gym And yeah, well you maybe you don't so.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: At what we didn't. You didn't ask a question. You
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: asked a question in your head and then answered it
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: before you said the words.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe he doesn't know the connection between the jareds and Sting?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Who me, you I do not know that?
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah, so.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Do you call him Sting or Steve? What do you say?
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: Because we called Lunchbox Lunchbox all the time when he.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Walks in the door for wrestling. Stinger, what are we
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: doing tonight? Got it on the phone, Hey, Steve, maybe
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: a little sick both. But so there were four guys
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: called the Power Team that were trained out in California.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: They were all just in the gym.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: The way Stein got into it, he went to a
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: show at La Arena and saw Julkomane and said, yeah,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: I kind of give this a shot. So there were
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: four guys called Power Team USA that they sent out
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: their feelers to all kinds of promoters across the country.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: That's how I used to do it, black and white,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: eight by tens. My dad got the photos and said,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: holy smokes, these guys look great, called them, got Jim
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: Helwig on the phone, who was Warrior and Sting. Back
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: in those days they had landlines and thing picked up
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: the other phone, and my dad said, hey, I'd love
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: for you guys to come in, but I can only
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: take two. I can't take all four. And they're both like,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: and I'm getting this story, it's kind of close, so
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: I think they were. But anyway, my dad said, I'll
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: take this one and I'll take this one, and it
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: was Sting and Warrior. So Thanksgiving Day nineteen eighty five
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: in Hendersonville, Tennessee. You know, on Thanksgiven days back in
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: the day, I hear a knock at the door and
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: I could look down over the balcony from a second story,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: looked down the front door. Opened the door, and I
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: was on kind of the landing. My dad open the door,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: and that's the first time ever laid dies. I was
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: a junior in high school and Sting drove cross country
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: and he started wrestling for my dad in nineteen eighty five.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: That's a guy's that really cool story.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: And it's yeah, and I say all that to say
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: that at T and A Sting we called in a
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: favor him and my father. He came and worked for
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: us when we were literally a startup. Then he came
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: on later full time when we got up and run it.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: But uh yeah, me and him go back to nineteen
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: eighty five, you know.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: And two final things. The face paint is the greatest
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: thing to conceal age for anybody because when he would
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: come out even still and he's in black and he's
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: got the paint number two spray t hey, I can
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: say that too from my when I have to freaking
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: get on TV all the time. That span is a plus.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: I gotta have it. But yeah, I know the face
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: paint for or masks, yep, you know mysterio. You know
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: I haven't Matt because you never get older, you know.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: It's uh, yes, what do you like about Sting? Like
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: why do you like him so much?
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: Blonde Sting was my introduction really oh oh oh yeah
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: by far Blondsting back in the day day yep. So
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: Blonde Sting was like my introduction into wrestling. And then
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: that's kind of when I started to play sports and
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: so like I would wrestle like with other dude, this
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: is weird to say we would like wrestle, And I
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, I can kind of play sports a
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: little bit. And see was my favorite stort like emulate him,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: which then kind of gave me confidence to play other sports.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of that. It's a weird. It's a
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: stupid story. It's like a loser story. Like I was
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: rusting other boys and I'm like, I can use but
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Steing was like the guy I would like do is
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: because anybody could do the Scorpions flash or the death
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: Law all that. So that's why I love story. No, yeah,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: I'm lame. No, I'm so lame. I'm so lame. Final question,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: people will ask you to record a video or a picture.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Does anyone ever want you to hit them with a
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: real guitar? And You're like, I can't. I'm not gonna
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: hit you with the real guitar really hard.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: I'm asked that more than you real imagine. Yes, and
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: I'm reluctant. I'm not on cameo, but yeah, people want
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: me to hit him with the guitars or do this
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: or do that. Yeah, I did a thing last summer
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: a reverend. He's a young preacher.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: For the baby reveal, we put blue and pink, Yes,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: and I hit somebody over the guitar.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: But I had to be a guitar. It's our guitar
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: that was crafted enough to fall apart easily. But I'm
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: saying I would imagine idiots would be like, hit me
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: with this guitar and it's a really and that it hurts.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's like, that's a whole different ball game.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: I was over in London and a guy, I'm like,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not hitting you with that. He says, here's money.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: I said, I'm not doing that. He said all right,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: here's more money. I said, dude, this won't break. It's
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: going to knock you out. Please hit me with it. Okay,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: But I never.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: Did follow real Jeff Jared on Instagram as I do
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: appromote your podcast.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: My World with Jeff Jarrett drops every Tuesday morning doing that.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I told the guy, my partner, Conrad Thompson, no,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: for about two and a half years, I said, nobody
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: wants to listen to my stories, and he goes, trust me.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited that I did it. And we've been
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: going about two and a half three years and record
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: just recorded yesterday, and you know, we talk a little
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: bit of stuff for the first twenty thirty minutes and
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: then we get into a wrestling story, whether it's a
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: pay per view or specific wrestler, a timeframe, all kinds
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: of different topics, but it's a blast.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: And then we're gonna find out because you're next to
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: the last match as we're live as tomorrow, so it's
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: going to be yesterday when you're next to last night,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: we're having one more match. You're not saying what it is?
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no no.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: I signed a I re signed last month December and
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: it's and I'm not going to give you the term
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: of it, but it's more than a year.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay, you said promoting final match after this, so okay.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: No, I'm what I said last week in Ashville, Bobby was,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: I've signed my final talent contract and won't get into
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: terms and all that kind of stuff, but this is
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: the final one. But as far as signing it, I've
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: made a goal. In twenty twenty five, I'm gonna win
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: aw gold. It may happen this month, it may happen
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: in December, but this year. You know, that's a fifty
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: seven year old man win an a your gold does
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: not happen, and I'm a fan and I'm gonna try
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: to make it happen.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: I really had to happen.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna really, I really am. I mean, I think
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: it's just crazy enough. And it was based off because
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: my wife was like, are you sure you want to resign?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: And I got five kids and they were like, Dad,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: you're gonna hang this up at some point. You know,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: my oldest is twenty eight. And I'm like, okay, and
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: I've heard this for a couple of years and I
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: just kind of said, Okay, this is the final contract.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: But I use the old analogy that my father told
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: taught me that his grandfather taught him and said, Hey,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: if you ever want to climb a tree, don't get
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: under the tree and figure out how you're going to
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: get to the first branch, get away from it. Figure
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: out how you're going to climb to the top, and
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: you'll have the most success in life. So if I
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: don't get eight of your gold, I'm still trying to
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: get it. I'm gonna have a ton of fun. I
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: don't want to just pick up a check. If that
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: makes sense, I'm going for it all.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm a massive fan. I love when you come by.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you having me.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have scuba giving myself one number two. You

  Speaker 1: NFL and the first two episodes are out. It's called
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: Lots to Say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Mattcastle
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: played for Kevin's team, the Patriots. He got famous because
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: he had to fill in for Brady the whole season,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: one of thirteen games. I think he didn't make playoffs.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and the crazy part is, fifteen years whatever it
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 13: is later, he's probably the best quarterback we've had besides Brady.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 11: Do you think about that?
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: Eleven and five right?
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 12: Yea?
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: Whoever he was?
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Did he win eleven games or thirty? Yeah?
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 4: I think because they didn't make the playoffs, like the
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: thing the Dolphins.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins, and that made him famous because it wasn't
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: his play although he did play pretty well, but that
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: he was the one that had to go on for
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady Game one of that season.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 11: After the undefeated season.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: The year after, well almost undefeated, didn't go totally.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 4: There was that game.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah you didn't get Yeah, you don't remember that one.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: So it's uh, Matt and myself and we've had a
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: couple of great guests. We had Kurt Warner on Hall
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback wasn't drafted. I think I forget that
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: sometimes he seems like a cool guy too. It was awesome.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: I mean they made a movie about him.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah he did, and you know, your big time American underdog, so.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: It's called I watched it. I thought it was a
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: little corny, little Hollywood. I don't mind Hollywood, little lifetime
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: ass that's what it was. I did like it, but
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: it was that movie wasn't made for It wasn't like
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights for the hardcore football given Sunday. It
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: was made for somebody who doesn't spend every Sunday dedicated
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: and dial dent. And I think it was a great
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: movie for who it was made for. When you're a
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: hardcore sports fan and you're like, well, that didn't only happened.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: That never happens like that. But that's only if somebody's
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: watching sports all the time. So when I say corny,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: like to me, us would have been like, that doesn't
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: quite happen. That's biopics with music does us all the
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: time too, Like the Queen One little corny, but he
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: was good, But you're like, they didn't quite happen like that,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: And for timing reasons, they had to get famous real quick.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 14: But it is.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: My wife really liked it. It's a good movie. Really yeah,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: check it out. And so we were talking about playoffs,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: and for me it was the Lion's offensive coordinator. He's
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: gonna be a head coach and it's got to be
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: weird to know you got to put a staff together
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: right now as you're also trying to win a NFL title.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: So we talked about that and what type of mentality
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: routine he had going to the playoffs.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: So here he is. This is us.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: It's five minutes of us talking with Kurt Warner. Talk
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: about the human nature part of this. Like Ben Johnson,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator with the Lions, who's you know, didn't head
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: coach last year. He said, I want to stay. I
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: believe in the offense. I'm gonna stay with Detroit. Great decision.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: He's killing it. He's gonna have whatever job probably he wants. However,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: these jobs are open right now. Interviewing right now, he's
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: not interviewing because he's but still, you're a human, and
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: it's like that's got to be on your mind as
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: well as you enter. And I looked a few minutes ago,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: the Lines are favored to win the Super Bowl. They're
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: the number one team right now as far as like
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: the odds, Like that's the human part of That's got
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: to be difficult for somebody, right, I.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 12: Would I would think so like I don't really know,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 12: you know, especially when you know you are. We use
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 12: Ben Johnson as that example. It's like you've never been
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 12: a head coach, So this is like your moment, your opportunity.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 12: You got to be ready for these interviews. You've got
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 12: to be thinking like, Okay, if the season's over and
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 12: I get one of these jobs, like who's going to
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 12: be on my staff? Who am I going to take?
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: Like yeah, and then all of that while.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 12: Whatever your normal schedule is to prepare and create and
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 12: build a game plan. I mean, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 12: I don't know how you balance it. I mean, you
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 12: know we always said as players too, like you know,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 12: family was kind of that other side of it, talking
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 12: about Ben Johnson a head coaching spot and is current
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 12: like for us it was or for me it was
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 12: the family, Like Okay, so this is the amount of
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 12: time I'm going to spend, you know, preparing for football,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 12: and then I need to shut that off and try
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 12: to you know, be a dad or a husband or
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 12: or focus on family over here and it was really
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 12: hard to do. You know, it was hard to you know,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 12: for those things not to get all mixed together and
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 12: me thinking about football when I should be at home,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 12: or me thinking about you know, family and something that
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 12: was going on when I should be at football and
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 12: balancing that out.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: So I would have to.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 12: Think that would be a huge I mean, I don't
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 12: think you can, you know, if if somebody's calling me
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 12: today and going to do a you know, head coaching
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 12: intergy interview with me today while we're getting ready for
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 12: a playoff game a week and a half from now. Yeah,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 12: I mean I think you're fully focused on, Okay, how
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 12: do I get this head coaching job? You know, what
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 12: do I need to do and how do I have
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 12: everything in place? And your current team has to take
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 12: a little bit of a back seat in that regard.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 12: So figuring out that balance I think has to be key.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: But I think you're one hund percent right. Human nature
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 12: is going to say, Okay, I'm going to lean towards
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 12: you know, I'm going to have to lean into both
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 12: of them and probably take some time away from you know,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 12: the current task at hand for the future task at hand.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 14: You played in a lot of these playoff games, and
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 14: we are having this discussion before, but Bobby was asking me,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 14: how does it change going into playoffs, like your mentality
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 14: and you know that the intensity goes up tenfold. But
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 14: were you one of those players that had a specific
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 14: routine and tried to stick to that routine not make
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 14: it bigger than it was? Were you also one of
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 14: those quarterbacks? Look, I hated that feeling I used to
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 14: get before the game. I always got those knots in
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 14: my stomach. Oh, would overanalyze, do all those But once
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 14: you got out on the field, you get hit for
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 14: the first time and you start to process and you go, hey,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 14: this is just football. I got to be reactionary, rely
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 14: on my preparation what I need to do. But what
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 14: type of mentality do you have going into these type
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 14: of weeks?
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 12: Yeah, playoffs was different, And so I was one of
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 12: those guys that was really good at focusing. And so
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 12: my kids still joke to this day, like, you know,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 12: even if I'm if I'm sending you a text, Matt,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 12: and my kids are in the room with me and
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 12: they're like, dad, dad, Dad, I don't hear them because, like,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 12: I'm focused on what I'm trying to say to you
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 12: in the text, and I just tune out all the
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 12: other noise and they're like, Dad, we're trying to get
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 12: your attention, Like all you're doing is texting. But I
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 12: had an uncanny ability to focus, which obviously a lot
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: of guys at our level in sicily playing quarterback with
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 12: seventy thousand people, you know, have that ability to focus.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 12: But during you know, the normal week, it would come
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 12: about three thirty four o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 12: my wife would be like, all right.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: He's in the zone.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 12: Go to the hotel, go to your room, like get you, Like,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 12: no reason for you to be around anymore, because you're
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 12: you're a different guy. When I got into the playoffs,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 12: it was always like I had to tell my wife, Okay, honey,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 12: I know in the past, you've given me twenty four
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 12: hours forty eight hours. Now I need four weeks. Like
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 12: I'm not going to be a good dad, I'm not
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 12: going to be a good husband. I am locking in
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 12: for the next four weeks and it's going to be
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 12: all football, and it's all focused on trying to win
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 12: a championship and then we can celebrate and go on
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 12: trips and do that afterwards. But it was really that
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 12: kind of change for me, Matt, where it was like
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 12: I could never get it off my mind and I
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 12: didn't really want to, like I didn't want to separate
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 12: it at that point, Like I knew it was all
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 12: about the regular Season's great, but the regular season was
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 12: just setting me up to have a chance to win
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 12: it all. So once we got into the playoffs, that
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 12: was it. Like everything else is gone, everything else is
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 12: pushed out. I'm sorry, but this is my focus. And
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 12: you know, and just like we were talking about the
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 12: split focus and bound, I wasn't even looking to balance anymore.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 12: My mindset was, Okay, we're playing Sunday. I am not
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 12: taking a minute off in terms of my prep so
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 12: I can be the best that I can be on Sunday.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 12: And you know, obviously my mindset was, I want to
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 12: do it for four weeks because it's going to end
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 12: up by us being in the Super Bowl and hopefully
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 12: winning it.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: So thanks to Kurt, listen to the full interview in
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: the full episode, it's called Lots to Say. And in
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: the second episode we had Tim McGraw, big sports fan,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: cool guy. Matt told a story about San timagaw work
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: out in the weight room when Matt was with the Chiefs.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: He walks into mcgrals in there.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 5: Really.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked to LSU and how they feed Tim
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: scores while he's doing a show. Here's a few minutes
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: of Tim McGraw with myself and Matt Castle on our podcast.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: Lots to say.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 5: I've actually been to one of your concerts.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 14: I was in Kansas City and I remember I was
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 14: down in the facility one day and it's before the
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 14: day of the concert, and I walked down I think
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 14: it might have been a Saturday or something like that,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 14: and you're in the weight room getting after it, I mean,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 14: and so I walk in. I just see this guy
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 14: and he's ripped up. He's got his cutoff shirt. I
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 14: think you were wearing a bandana on your head. And
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 14: I asked, I asked my strength the conditioning coach. I said, hey, coach,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 14: who is that? He's like, dude, that's Tim. He's getting
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 14: after it. I was like, I can see that. I mean,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 14: is that something that you do on tour? Is that
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 14: something that just because I know obviously you're always in
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 14: shape every time I've ever seen you, But is it
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 14: something you go around and anytime you can get a
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 14: workout in, you do.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 15: Yeah, that's part of the routine every day. Yeah, and
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 15: most of the band guys too. It's just part of
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 15: our everyday routine. And it's been that way for gosh,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 15: fifteen years now. We don't feel the same if we
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 15: don't get a workout in during the day. And we
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 15: have a gym that travels with us, and it looks
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 15: like a prison yard out but we have ropes and
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 15: chains and tires and everything outside the bus, and so
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 15: we get in two or three workouts a.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: Day when we're on the road.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get it.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: Let's get this.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 15: Say it keeps us out of trouble.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: Put it for a lot of reasons.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels time, all right, and here on the
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: road there's a lot of freaking time. Okay, we're gonna
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: get personal here and see how you feel about this
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: last season. LSU Brian Kelly, I don't know. A lot
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: of people have lot of stuff to say, Tim, what
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: do you gotta say?
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 15: I don't know, man, Look, that's just such a tough
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 15: gig anymore to coach college players, I think with all
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 15: the new money coming in and these guys don't list
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 15: I don't want to put anybody down. I'm not trying
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 15: to say that college players don't listen, because I don't
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 15: know them that well. But I can imagine trying to
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 15: be a college coach where you used to have a
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 15: complete control and everybody doing exactly what you say and
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 15: when you say to do it how you say to
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 15: do it, and then you got these guys now that
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 15: are not that I'm against them being able to eat
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 15: and make money. It's not that I'm four or against
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 15: any of that stuff. It just seems like it makes
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 15: the job of coaching tougher in that environment, because it's
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 15: tough enough in the NFL when you're dealing with grown
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 15: men with careers and making business decisions every day about
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 15: their career and how long they're going to be around
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 15: and the things they're going to do, and what's good
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 15: for them, what's good for the body, what's good for
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 15: the team, That calculus and that alchemy that all comes
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 15: into effect. I just think that it makes it really
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 15: tough to coach college football these days, and it takes
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 15: a really strong personality to go in there and do that.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 15: Brian Kelly's a great coach now, who knows if his
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 15: style is going to work with a team like LSU
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 15: or not.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 5: It is wild. I wouldn't want to be a coach
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 14: In college football with the NIL the transfer portal, you're
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 14: you have to recruit people you go into and I
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 14: I mean in the transfer portal to recruit more guys
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 14: that come in. But in addition to that, you got
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 14: to recruit your own players. Every single year, these guys
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 14: come in and say, hey, coach, look, if you want
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 14: me for the ball game, I'm gonna I'm gonna.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 5: Need another two hundred grand. You know, like that's that's
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: the nature of the beast now.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 15: Right, And then how do you do that as a coach,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 15: and how do you how do you do that as
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 15: a coach, and how do you do as as an
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 15: organization and a coaching organization and still be able to
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 15: let later your game plan down. Put these guys in
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 15: a position to win, put these guys in the right
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 15: mindset to win, make these guys play as a team.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 15: It's just tough all the way around. And look there,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 15: it's people are going to evolve with it. Coaches are
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 15: going to evolve with it. The coaches are going to
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 15: learn how to do it in a different way, I'm sure,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 15: but but there is a curve that's going.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: On right now.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want to reveal the great Mighty Oz. So
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: if this's the secret that you don't feel like sharing,
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: I'll start. If I'm doing a stand up show to
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: theater or even in my television contracts, if Arkansas is
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: playing football and I am working, or if it's a
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: night game, I'll have a small screen and on a
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: monitor I will have And because I can't watch a
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: game recorded, it doesn't exist. A recorded game I cannot
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: go to afterward because I can't it's on my phone everywhere,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: So I will have a monitor at all times so
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: I can watch the game. If there is a big
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: LSU game team and you were on stage, how are
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: you getting information fed to you through my ears?
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: Through my inner monitors?
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 15: My guy Heath on the side is always telling me
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 15: to score. And he also used to do that when
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 15: my kids were in high school and one of my
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 15: daughters was a cheerleader, so we went to all the
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 15: high school games and we were really invested in Amsworth
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 15: High school football, so we tailgated and all that stuff.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 15: So when I was when I happened to be on
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 15: stage and there was a game going on. I was
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 15: getting fed scores right in the middle of songs. So
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 15: if I dropped the word.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: Because I'm happy about the score.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 5: Do you have an NFL team as well?
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 14: I mean, I've obviously your ties to Nashville, maybe the Titans,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 14: but I don't know.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, who's your who's your NFF.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 15: I root for the Titans, of course, because of being
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 15: in Nashville and I and I root for for the
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 15: Eagles because I have two brothers that live in Philly
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 15: and my of course, my dad played ball in Philly
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 15: and spend a lot of time there, and I grew
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 15: up in Louisiana, so I'm still a Saints fan at
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 15: heart as well.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: This will always be my baby, this one right here. Yeah,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: this is it. But I bet it's pretty cool to
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: say you signed a sign a deal with the NFL.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: That's my favorite thing to say. Ever, it's my favorite
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: thing to say.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 7: It's pretty cool, dude. I would be telling everyone sign
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 7: the NFL and then leave it like that, Yeah, walk
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 7: away doing what. Don't worry about what we think? Why
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 7: do people why why do people sign with the NFL.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: You tell me so, yeah, check out lots to say
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: if you don't mind, and yeah, pretty cool. Okay, before
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: we go, who's the upset? Give me the upset that wins,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: even if you don't believe one really will if you
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: have to be an upset to win.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 4: We're talking both sports, college and the NFL.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: No, I won't do college.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 4: It's just the NFL, right, you know what, Jimmy an
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 4: upset and anything in general?
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't you can't do the game last night though,
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: right right?
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 4: Or that's cheating because they both.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: Won and lost.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is Schrodinger's cat.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 11: Okay, cool, I'm gonna go Texans.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I'm gonna go Steelers just because I
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 8: feel like, I don't know, everyone's been talking down on them.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 8: I feel like they could they could rise up.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: Is that an upset?
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: Nine?
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: They're a nine point dog, they're probably.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: Far less set.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, so they win it, okay.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, say scenario with it. So you're saying Texans
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: beat the Charger.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that's pretty much a coin flip. You
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 11: don't really know.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 13: I mean, the Texans aren't playing very well right now,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 13: but they're still at home and they can beat the.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: Chargers, and they always play three thirty on Saturday. They
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: kind of make them play crazy. It's like twenty eleven,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: Wildcar versus Bengal, Saturday, three thirty. Wildcard versus Bengals twenty
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: twelve Saturday three thirty, twenty fifteen, Waldcar versus Chief Saturday
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: three thirty. Wildcard versus Raiders Saturday three thirty, twenty sixteen,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, Waldcar versus Cold Saturday three twenty nineteen, Walkcard
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: versus Bill Saturday three thirty, twenty twenty three, Walkcard versus
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: Brown Saturday three thirty, twenty twenty four, Wildcard versus Chargers Saturday,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: three thirty.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 4: Wow, shout out Houston.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: I have no NFL has no respect for it. Houston
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: television bedtime slot.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 4: Did you find that like yourself or do you see
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 4: that somewhere Mike?
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: I oh, Kevin had given me all. I knew they
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: played a bunch of three thirty games, but Kevin gave
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: me the whole list all the way. All that's crazy, Yeah, crazy,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: Eddie A man, I.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 7: Feel bad even thinking this because I'm going against our parlay,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 7: but I feel like the Packers could probably beat the Eagles.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: They did it last year. I think that's one, and
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: can I do another one? So you get one?
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, Packers, that's the one. That's the one.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Texas to beat Ohio State.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 4: I see what you're doing now, Yes, I see, I see.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 7: I'm packing Texas there for Suggara when yours yours is
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 7: going casey ketches on quick.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: They're only a six point dog. They got the athletes.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: You know, Ohio State's gonna see these guys come out
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: of the tunnel and be like that bar orange looks tough.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: We're playing them, Oh exactly. So my underdog to absolutely win.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: I bet at all Texas man, but the house, Yeah,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: let's go. There's no way that's going to happen, trust me.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Horns spelled w h O r n eh.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: Nothing nailed it?
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: Let's go Horns. Uh did you have one you wanted
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: to do? You don't have to go. I know you
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: probablyn't even know who's underdog and tonight, how about Commanders.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: That's good? That my second one?
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's all.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: It was a small I think it was like what
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: plus three? Were they plus three?
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 4: He looks at the screen. Tampa's minus three right now
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: plus three every pick one.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, okay, before we go, this will be the inconclusion
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: part of the show. Hot take revisit from the preseason
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: when we first started this show. Cool, I love these,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: I've got hot takes them all four, Casey, Eddie, Kevin,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: and myself. These are things when it was like, hey,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: make your hot take before we start. We'll start with Casey. Yeah,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: not good, says there will only be one team from
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: the NFC North to make the playoffs. Three of the
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: four made the playoffs.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 4: Ye, backfired.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: We didn't expect the Vikings to be awesome, to be fair, yeah,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: although we did think the Bears would be better.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, I thought the Packers would not be as good.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: But so who did you think the one team would
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: be the Lions?
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Casey swinging a miss Kevin. The Chargers win
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: the division and Jim Harbaugh wins Coach of the Year.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: Not a huge mess they did. They didn't win the division.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: He probably won't win Coach of the Year, but he'll
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: be top three or four.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they had a good year. They made the playoffs.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 11: If the Chiefs weren't in that division. Maybe it's a
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 11: different story.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: Right, good job.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: So again, he will not win Coach of the Year.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: But it's not like he's for he sucked, so I
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: would Casey, I give you a D. Kevin, I give
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: you a B minus. Still, all right, all right, I
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: haven't even looked at mine yet. I don't know what
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: mine is because I'm like you, guys, I haven't looked
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: at mine yet.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: Eddie, dude, your's this hilarious? So wrong Cowboys, No, Edie.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: Eddie's hot take was he believed a certain player was
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: going to have one of the best years of his career,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: and the player on this team will lead this team
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: to win the division and the conference. Any idea Aaron Rodgers?
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: You thought that Aaron Rodgers will have, if not the
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: best year of his career, one of the best years
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: of his career, and the Jets will win not only
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: their division but.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: The a f C.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 4: Just give me the just give me the optimism.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: That mine is C. J. Stroud, I said, J. Strouds
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: mediocre this season. They'll win nine or ten games. Wow,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: they finished ten and seven and Shrouds he was mediocre.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: Last year we had four thousand passing yards, twenty three touchdowns,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: five interceptions as a rookie. Uh this year three thousand,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: six hundred passing yards a little less, four less touchdowns,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: and seven more interceptions. Give me a B plus.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man, that's really good plus.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 4: I mean it was a terrible fantasy quarterback too.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
