1:03
SPEAKER_00: So uh you can't win them all if you don't win the first one.
1:06
SPEAKER_00: Is that right?
1:06
SPEAKER_00: That's the state.
1:07
SPEAKER_03: Exactly, exactly.

1:23
SPEAKER_00: And uh, did you catch that LSG Florida State game that night, BW?
1:27
SPEAKER_03: I did, I saw that, and I I can't believe uh it's an interesting dynamic to see what's gonna happen this year with Brian Kelly down there.
1:35
SPEAKER_03: Um I don't know.
1:37
SPEAKER_03: You know, the uh the Florida State coach Norvell was up here in Memphis before he was at Florida State.
1:42
SPEAKER_03: So everybody up here was still happy to see him be successful.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was uh that that game was just, you know, LSU always seems to come back in all their games, and you know, I was expecting them to make a comeback.
1:54
SPEAKER_00: But the fact that he missed an extra point, then people were getting on to Brian Kelly about man, you should have gone for two, but then if he had gone for two and missed it, people would have been like, Why didn't you just kick it?
2:02
SPEAKER_00: So it's a no-inch that, but but uh man, what an exciting game to wrap up uh Labor Day weekend.
2:09
SPEAKER_00: You know, that was that was pretty exciting.
2:11
SPEAKER_00: And then did you hear what Coach O said yesterday?
2:13
SPEAKER_00: His uh comments about 17 million.
2:16
SPEAKER_00: I saw that, yeah.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: He sounds like he's a happy guy, even though he's not coaching right now, which I can't blame him with 17 million in the pocket.
2:22
SPEAKER_00: But he said that hey, you showed me the door, tell me the time to leave, brother.
2:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm gone.
2:27
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
2:28
SPEAKER_00: That cracked me up, but uh I know yeah.
2:30
SPEAKER_00: So that was a great, great game to uh to watch, and uh we got some good ones coming up this weekend.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of games, if you want to tell everybody about Pick'em, uh what we're doing.
2:40
SPEAKER_03: So the pick em up is Pick'em is live.
2:42
SPEAKER_03: Uh, what did we end up with?
2:44
SPEAKER_03: 35, 36 people in the group.
2:46
SPEAKER_03: So pretty pretty big group.
2:48
SPEAKER_03: We had a couple people, uh Booby Dixon, he forgot to make his picks this week.
2:52
SPEAKER_03: There's two or three people that didn't make his their picks last week, but um no, everybody everybody did pretty good.
2:57
SPEAKER_03: I think I finished kind of middle of the pack.
2:59
SPEAKER_03: I think you did too.
3:00
SPEAKER_03: Uh the the winner though was was Chris King.
3:03
SPEAKER_03: What did he have?

SPEAKER_03: Yeah, 25.
3:10
SPEAKER_03: And he didn't miss very many.
3:12
SPEAKER_03: But um, but I will say, I mean, you and I were were dead on about our prediction last week about the game.
3:18
SPEAKER_03: So if y'all are needing to make some extra money and and you know need to put some extra money in the bank, just listen to Johnny's World Podcast and we'll tell you where to where to put the money every week.
3:28
SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, I remember watching our game.
3:29
SPEAKER_00: I texted you while we were watching, I was like, didn't I pick the score to be 42 to 10?
3:33
SPEAKER_00: And you know, it didn't turn out like that, but it was looking like that was gonna be the final score.
3:36
SPEAKER_00: I was like, man, that's yeah, funny.
3:39
SPEAKER_00: But we were right, we were both right right there.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah, good predictions there.
3:42
SPEAKER_03: Yep, we're on it.
3:44
SPEAKER_03: So well, we have a really special guest this week because the Bulldogs are out in Arizona, and we were trying to think of somebody we could talk to about Arizona.
3:52
SPEAKER_03: And Johnny came up with a good one here.
3:54
SPEAKER_03: So you want to introduce our guest?
3:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm I'm happy to introduce our guest.

SPEAKER_00: So can't thank him enough for coming on.
4:06
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, like you said, we were trying to think of Arizona.
4:09

4:54
SPEAKER_02: Uh it's uh it's it's home now.
4:57
SPEAKER_02: Um I actually got here.
4:58
SPEAKER_02: I was playing in Italy and had to rehab my knees and came out here to work with the Sons doctors, had a buddy that was close with them uh and rehabbed a little bit.
5:08
SPEAKER_02: Uh went back overseas and then tore up the other knee and and uh came back here again.
5:13
SPEAKER_02: And then Johnny the old the old body said, You're you're done, bud.

SPEAKER_02: You're done.
5:18
SPEAKER_02: So that ship sailed and uh had to enter the next phase of my life.

5:42
SPEAKER_02: Uh it's a dry heat, um, but absolutely beautiful, beautiful views everywhere.
5:48
SPEAKER_02: The sun shines literally every single day here, uh, the entire year.
5:52

5:54
SPEAKER_02: It is just an absolute pleasure living here in those three months of summer.
5:58
SPEAKER_02: Uh are hot as Hades.
6:00
SPEAKER_02: Um, but uh you know, snow and skiing is just about uh an hour and 40 minutes away.
6:07
SPEAKER_02: We were actually up north in the mountains uh this past weekend.
6:11
SPEAKER_02: Uh the temperature can drop literally 45, 50 degrees, just an hour and 45 minutes away.
6:16
SPEAKER_02: Uh great skiing, uh, great outdoor activity.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: You got Sedona uh as well.
6:22
SPEAKER_02: If for those of you that haven't been to Sedona, um, one of the most breathtaking places on earth.
6:28
SPEAKER_02: Uh definitely need to visit.
6:29
SPEAKER_02: It's absolutely incredible.
6:31
SPEAKER_02: Um, so just a lot to do.
6:33
SPEAKER_02: We've got college sports here, we've got pro sports here, which makes it fun for a sports fan like all of us, right?
6:39
SPEAKER_02: Um, so uh I'm still at Die Hard Bears, but I'm adopting the Cardinals uh on the basketball side.
6:46
SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, we've got partnerships with the Suns, and I'm at a lot of Suns games, and obviously they are a blast to watch.
6:53
SPEAKER_02: We're recovering from not getting Kevin Darnett, uh Kevin Durant, uh, but still a blast to watch with D Book and Chris Paul and Michael Bridges, DeAndre Aiden.
7:02
SPEAKER_02: And I love Monty Williams, think he might be one of the best coaches in the NBA.
7:06
SPEAKER_02: Um, so lots of fun stuff going on out here.
7:09
SPEAKER_02: Great place to live.
7:10
SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, business is booming out here, real estate is booming, uh, lots of awesome schools, awesome churches.
7:17
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, if you can't live in Mississippi, the next best place to live is uh is in Phoenix, Arizona.
7:26
SPEAKER_03: All right.
7:26
SPEAKER_03: Well, not not bad then.
7:28
SPEAKER_03: Well, uh I I need to come visit sometime.
7:30
SPEAKER_03: It sounds like a cool place.
7:32
SPEAKER_03: I think I'll have to come out there.
7:33
SPEAKER_03: I don't like the cold weather, so maybe like in January or so, I'll have to come out there and check it out and maybe catch a Suns game.
7:40
SPEAKER_03: Maybe when the Grizzlies are out there, we can can can check one of those games out.
7:45
SPEAKER_02: That's a great idea.
7:46
SPEAKER_02: Or come out for spring training as well.
7:48
SPEAKER_02: Lots of uh lots of people across the country come out for that.
7:51
SPEAKER_02: Uh, if you're a Cubs fan, which I I grew up uh Cubbies fan as well.
7:55
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, come on out.
7:56
SPEAKER_02: We'd love love to have you and uh and host you out here.
8:01
SPEAKER_03: So for the the the travelers that are coming in from Starkville or just from anywhere anywhere, the Mississippi State fans, what can they expect when they when they pull across the state line of Arizona, get in there close to the Wildcat Stadium?
8:17
SPEAKER_03: What what are some things you'd recommend that they do or anything like that?
8:21
SPEAKER_02: Well, there's there's some fabulous resorts there for sure.
8:24
SPEAKER_02: So golfing, obviously, Arizona is one of the best states for golfing, incredible courses.
8:29
SPEAKER_02: So if you're a golfer, um, you know, I know we have old Waverly outside of Starkville and Columbus, but there's some incredible golf courses here.
8:38
SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, people out here like to do a lot of the same stuff in Mississippi, right?
8:43
SPEAKER_02: Riding ATVs, there's incredible trails, you know, going hiking, uh highly recommend that.
8:48
SPEAKER_02: There's some awesome mountains, uh, mountain trails in in that area.
8:52
SPEAKER_02: Uh, so highly recommend that.
8:54
SPEAKER_02: Uh, and then just, you know, just enjoying uh the great temps and and no humidity.
8:59
SPEAKER_02: I think that'll be a shock for all of my Mississippi friends.
9:03
SPEAKER_02: Uh no humidity out here.
9:05
SPEAKER_02: Um, but truly a beautiful place.
9:07
SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, I think people will love the desert, love the mountains, uh, and have a have a great time.
9:14
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because the game is at 10 p.m.
9:16
SPEAKER_03: our time.
9:17
SPEAKER_03: So is that are y'all two hours behind us?
9:19
SPEAKER_03: Is that gonna be 8 p.m.
9:21
SPEAKER_03: there?
9:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it'll be eight o'clock here.
9:23
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so ought to be pretty nice temperature-wise, and and then they'll have all day they go out play golf or do something, enjoy the activities during the day before they head over to the stadium.
9:33
SPEAKER_02: So absolutely.
9:36
SPEAKER_02: I I think it'll be uh I think it'll be a blast uh for everyone to experience the desert if you haven't yet.
9:41
SPEAKER_02: So uh looking forward to it.
9:43
SPEAKER_00: So we we like to talk a lot, a lot of uh we talk about restaurants, places to eat.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: So if you're if you're coming to Arizona, what kind of cuisine is Arizona known for?
9:51
SPEAKER_00: Mexican or or what what's what's the best cuisine people eat in Arizona?
9:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, obviously there's there's great Mexican cuisine.
9:58
SPEAKER_02: Um, and you know, it's really become uh one of the foodies centers of the country.
10:03
SPEAKER_02: Um chefs from all over the world have moved here in the last you know 10 years.
10:08
SPEAKER_02: Uh huge food scene.
10:09
SPEAKER_02: You can find any anything you want, some of the best food in literally the entire country.
10:14
SPEAKER_02: So uh definitely check out those uh you know those big time restaurants.
10:19
SPEAKER_02: I think you'll love them.
10:23
SPEAKER_03: Nice.
10:24
SPEAKER_03: So is the um is the campus down there?
10:27
SPEAKER_03: I mean, what what is it like on campus there is as far as is the stadium, is it similar to you know, an SEC stadium or how do things look around there?
10:37
SPEAKER_02: So I I've I've tried to get on the the Pac-12 football train.
10:42
SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, since since I've been here.
10:44
SPEAKER_02: And guys, I just I just gotta be honest.
10:46
SPEAKER_02: Um, and this is no no offense to the Pac-12, but it is, it's not even close to the same.
10:53
SPEAKER_02: Um, it it really isn't.
10:55
SPEAKER_02: Obviously, they're a great basketball conference, have some great base baseball schools as well, great in other sports, you know, volleyball, etc.
11:02
SPEAKER_02: But when it comes to football, coming from SEC country to here has been it's been tough.
11:10
SPEAKER_02: Stadiums are not the same.
11:11
SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, you typically get fan support for a rival game and maybe one or two other games, and then, you know, very lacking in fan support, even for really good teams.
11:23
SPEAKER_02: I can remember, you know, on the basketball side at ASU when they had James Harden uh and Pentagraph literally walking in when they played Xavier, you know, number eight versus number 15, and I walked all the way down to the floor and had four seats, you know.
11:37
SPEAKER_02: And yeah, so it just not quite the support.
11:41
SPEAKER_02: So although the facilities are getting better, uh, you're not going to see anything like the new SEC facilities.
11:47
SPEAKER_02: And obviously, you know, we have a lot to be thankful for in the SEC when it comes to the TV contracts.
11:51
SPEAKER_02: That really changed the game.
11:53
SPEAKER_02: Um, I remember my first trip to MSU.
11:58
SPEAKER_02: Um, the coach just had a yellow, yellow ribbon around the locker room uh and said it was under construction.
12:04
SPEAKER_02: Uh and that was kind of that's kind of the ongoing little joke.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: It wasn't under construction.
12:09
SPEAKER_02: It needed to be, but it wasn't under construction.
12:13
SPEAKER_02: And honestly, at the time, probably was one of the worst locker rooms I had seen, you know, amongst all my visits out of high school and then again transferring.
12:22
SPEAKER_02: And now, fast forward to now, the facilities at Mississippi State and across the SEC are so nice, you almost have to ask yourself, have we gone overboard, right, to to a level that is is almost too opulent, if you will.
12:40
SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, I I can remember, you know, touring with my wife, the new football facility and some of the new basketball facilities and new living facilities they have.
12:48
SPEAKER_02: And it is so over the top nice.
12:50
SPEAKER_02: I cannot imagine being a student athlete at this point with the NILs, with being able to transfer and not sit out, um, with the facilities, with the living quarters and situations.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: Um, it is just, it's night and day from even when I was there, which doesn't feel like that long ago, even though it was, you know, uh, I think 2005 was my my last year on campus.
13:13
SPEAKER_02: Um, so no, the long answer to say you will not see SEC type facilities uh or fan support out here, although there are great fans and are great teams, it's just not that consistent.
13:26
SPEAKER_02: Show up rain, you know, rain or snow uh and support your team.
13:31
SPEAKER_02: And that's one of the things I loved about Mississippi State and the SEC, and even really before that at Iowa State as well.
13:39
SPEAKER_02: Um, that the whole state is is watching.
13:42
SPEAKER_02: Maybe half the state's rooting against you, but the whole state is watching, and half the state is rooting for you.
13:48
SPEAKER_02: And there's nothing like that having a state that's behind you on your chest, you're playing for them, uh, that pride.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: And hopefully the Pac-12 will get to that point.
13:58
SPEAKER_02: Um, just not quite quite there yet on the football side.
14:02
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
14:03
SPEAKER_03: So is there any uh tailgating or anything that happens before the game, or is it just everybody shows up and comes into the game?
14:10
SPEAKER_02: You know, the tailgating's getting getting better.
14:12
SPEAKER_02: Obviously, you got great weather for tailgating, uh, so it is getting better.
14:16
SPEAKER_02: Um But I'm I'm expecting the Mississippi State fans to show show the people from Arizona what what real tailgating is.
14:25
SPEAKER_02: So hopefully, uh hopefully Hale State can set the tone uh in Arizona.
14:32
SPEAKER_03: Nice.
14:33
SPEAKER_03: Well, I I think we should maybe make some predictions here for the game.
14:37
SPEAKER_03: Um, you can tell us what you think about it.
14:39
SPEAKER_03: I I'm a little nervous about it just because you know they only won one game last year, and they they've already done that this year, and they have new coach, lots of transfers.
14:50
SPEAKER_03: Seems like it could be a trap game.
14:51
SPEAKER_03: I know, I know Johnny alluded to that before a couple weeks ago on our podcast.
14:56
SPEAKER_03: I said we were gonna win, but Johnny was a little iffy about it.
14:59
SPEAKER_03: So tell us what you think.
15:01
SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm gonna defer to Johnny first, Brandon, if that's okay.
15:05
SPEAKER_02: I hear, I hear he's the pick'em guy.
15:07
SPEAKER_02: So I want to hear his prediction first, and then maybe I'll adjust mine after we get the experts' opinion.
15:13
SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, the thing about thing about Mike Leach, uh with thing about Dan Mullen, if you think back when Dan Mullen was a state's coach, you knew the game going into the game, you know the game we're gonna win, you knew the games we were gonna lose.
15:24
SPEAKER_00: He always beat who was supposed to beat, he always lost, he was supposed to lose to.
15:27
SPEAKER_00: With Mike Leach, man, it is no telling.
15:30
SPEAKER_00: You know, like for instance, last year, you know, the opening game against LaTeX, we almost blew that one, and then we beat AM on the road, and then the huge comeback against Auburn.
15:39
SPEAKER_00: So you really never know what you're gonna get when a Mike Leach coach team.
15:43
SPEAKER_00: And it seems like there's always these games like like Memphis last year where we blew that game, even though the ref, but but still, uh, there's always that one game on the schedule to look at, a call trap game if you want, or or just uh uh just one of those games that kind of scary.
15:58
SPEAKER_00: And and this particular game, in my opinion, has that written all over it.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: But after watching this last week and what Wool Rogers did and all the receivers and just swinging the ball around, I mean, I feel confident we're gonna come away with a victory in it.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: But I won't, I hope all of I hope he's focusing in on these players.
16:18
SPEAKER_00: Like, don't let up.
16:19
SPEAKER_00: This this game could a late night, you know.
16:22
SPEAKER_00: What really is good is we had that delay last week.
16:24
SPEAKER_00: So we ended up playing until almost 1 a.m.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: That actually works in our favor because you know, in our uh in our our uh the players um having to go over there and play, even though it's 8 p.m.
16:37
SPEAKER_00: that time back in Mississippi is 10 p.m.
16:39
SPEAKER_00: So it kind of works in our favor.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: We were we were playing late last week and getting used to it.
16:44
SPEAKER_00: So uh so I like that that that kind of worked in our favor on that and and the way our offense was clicking last week.
16:49
SPEAKER_00: If they can just come out on and and do the same thing they did last week, um, I feel confident about it.
16:54
SPEAKER_00: However, Arizona did play uh was it San Diego State last week.
16:58
SPEAKER_00: They played them a a good a really good game.
17:01
SPEAKER_00: And and uh so you know it it's hard to make a prediction on it, you know, with Mike League.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: You just never know.
17:08
SPEAKER_00: But I'm gonna give the Bulldogs a win in this one.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna I'm gonna say they put up a bunch of points again.
17:13
SPEAKER_00: I'm my prediction on the game, I'm gonna say 42 to 21.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: How about that?
17:19
SPEAKER_00: 42-21 is the Bulldogs.
17:21
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
17:25
SPEAKER_03: Well, do you need you you need a little bit more time, Shane?
17:28
SPEAKER_03: You want me to give mine, or you have you decided yet?
17:31
SPEAKER_02: Well, I I think after hearing Johnny's expert opinion and knowing knowing uh he's probably gotten wealthy off of his picks lately, um I I think he's on the right track.
17:41
SPEAKER_02: I do think it's a trap game.
17:42
SPEAKER_02: Um, Arizona came out with a lot of of great energy last week.
17:48
SPEAKER_02: Um I think it's a trap game, but I think if the Bulldogs come in focused and willing to show, you know, show a different part of the country what SEC football is all about, what Mississippi State football is all about.
18:00
SPEAKER_02: And I think if they can focus, I think it I think Johnny's probably all right.
18:06
SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be a shootout.
18:07
SPEAKER_02: I think I'm I'm saying 42 uh 42 28 Bulldogs.
18:12
SPEAKER_02: Um, but we gotta make sure we don't fall into that trap uh that's laying out here in Tucson.
18:18
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
18:19
SPEAKER_03: Well, um I have a little different view.
18:22
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I still think the Bulldogs are gonna win, but I feel like it may take us a little while to get the offense going.
18:29
SPEAKER_03: We may come out a little sluggish.
18:31
SPEAKER_03: And so I don't think we'll have the opportunity to put up as many points because of that.
18:35
SPEAKER_03: And and I feel like it's gonna be one of those games we'll probably win by two touchdowns, but it's gonna feel like it was a lot closer to than that.
18:43
SPEAKER_03: So I'm gonna say 35-21 Bulldogs is what I'm going with.
18:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, we all got we all got the Bulldogs putting up a bunch of touchdowns.
18:53
SPEAKER_00: So uh so that that's always a good thing.
18:56
SPEAKER_00: And and with air raid, you know, that's what you expect.
18:58
SPEAKER_00: You expect the Bulldogs to sling it around and hit the open receivers.
19:01
SPEAKER_00: What I was really impressed with last week was was Will Rogers, the way he was throwing the ball and and getting it to different guys.
19:08
SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, that's that's huge.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: Uh spreading the ball around, that's what you want.
19:11
SPEAKER_00: And that's the cool thing about the team.
19:13
SPEAKER_00: You can tell the team works together.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: And that's what I really like to see is you know, there's not that one guy that stands out like complaining that he didn't get the ball.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, it's not like that.
19:23
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't appear from the outside.
19:25
SPEAKER_00: From what we're seeing, it looks like all the players are in tune with everybody.
19:27
SPEAKER_00: They want they respect Will and they know he's gonna make the right decision.
19:30
SPEAKER_00: And and he's uh he his third year in the program.
19:33
SPEAKER_00: He's he's a veteran player now.
19:35
SPEAKER_00: And and uh so yeah, I I feel confident that we're gonna put up some points again.
19:39
SPEAKER_00: And I hope our defense, you know, uh the third quarter of the Memphis game, we kind of seemed like we were kind of letting up and and uh we can't have we can't have that happen at all.
19:48
SPEAKER_00: Um hopefully they fix that a little bit and and uh and hope hopefully the defense can can hold on and and not and not give up points and stuff like that and the as they as the game goes on.
19:58
SPEAKER_00: So uh so it's real exciting.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: Can't wait to see it.
20:01
