Set 2: We Can Obs and a Big Kentucky Win (w/ Will Stein) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the weekend observations here in just a minute.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Will Stein, the Kentucky head football coach, going to join
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: us later in this episode.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Taylor, baseball is still going on.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You would never know it, but it's still going on
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: because football has taken over. College football has taken over.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: What is going on with Aaron Judge? What's happening with
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: your New York Yankees? I haven't checked in lately.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're saying baseball is still going on. For me,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: this might be the final nail in the coffin.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Aaron Judge is likely out for the AL Wild Card
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Series versus Boston, according to Brian Hawk. This is from
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Aaron Boone. We're planning on him not being a part
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: of that. Judge had a PPP injection in his right
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: calf during their off day. He has a moderate grade
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: calf strength. And Stu, if you're wondering what that music is,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: it's the music, the violins, because the Titanic is going down,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the band is going to play us on our way out.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Right. You're saying you're incapable of winning a playoff series
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: without Aaron Judge?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. It's baseball.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: It is over.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Mikey, you feel the same way? It's over? You're a
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yankee fan.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: It's a dominated lefty pitching for the Red Sox, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: who better not to have than your dominant right-handed bat.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: In the lineup? Right. What do you got, Taylor?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Do you hear that, Mikey? It's the fat lady. She's singing.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: She's singing. Is that her? Wait, are they locked in?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I haven't been paying attention to baseball. They're locked in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to play the Red Sox in the opening round of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's locked in already.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: There's very little wiggle room still where the Yankees have
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a sizable lead on that first wild card spot. They're
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: six games back against Tampa Bay, so Tampa Bay hasn't
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: officially clinched the AL East yet. Tampa Bay will probably
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: put us out of our misery pretty soon with this
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: series coming up.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I like the spot you're in, though, without Aaron Judge.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Low expectations. You exceed him.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, why not? It's baseball.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Anything can happen, Taylor. Have some faith in your baseball
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: team for crying out loud.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: If my two choices are going to the Red Sox
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: series with one of the best hitters in baseball history
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: or not going to the series with one of the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: best hitters, I'm probably going to always choose the one
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: where Aaron Judge is in the lineup.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Well, that's obvious that you would choose that, but it
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: does shift expectations just a bit.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: No one's going to expect the Yankees to win, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that's when you can win.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Who knows?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. Part of the thing is it's the
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Red Sox.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Like, you don't want to lose to the Red Sox,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: and the fact that we have a built-in excuse does
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: not bring us any comfort when it's the Red Sox.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Right, but imagine beating the Red Sox without your best player.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: How about that, huh?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You can't even imagine it. You guys can't even imagine it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I saw Taylor try. He closed his eyes.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I can't either.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm done. Let's get to the weekend observations.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: That's it for baseball. Mikey! It wasn't too long ago
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: that we compared him to.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Tom Brady.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: He's a three-time Super Bowl champion and a three-time Super
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Bowl MVP. But with an aging supporting cast combined with
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: an ACL injury, his team didn't make the playoffs a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: year ago. And it seems like we all forgot about him.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Last week, he returned to action for the first time
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: since the ACL.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Good. Not great. But in week two, everything changed.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: 32 of 47.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: 382 yards.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Three touchdowns. No interceptions.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: And a win.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And just like that, make no mistake about it, Patrick
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Mahomes is back.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: He's back.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: That's so scary.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: That's so scary.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Right, but you know what I'm saying. Like, I know
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: he was back in week one, but that wasn't Patrick Mahomes.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: This past weekend, that was Patrick Mahomes.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, he's back.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: There is no better compliment for a linebacker than saying
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: he has a thick neck.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Taylor, put it on the poll.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I think it was Robert Spillane from the Patriots that
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: they were talking about.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: The Steelers could play the greatest show on turf and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it still be a 16-13 rock fight.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: They drag you into the mud. I mean, they really do.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: It's where they like to play.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the mud.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Put it on the pole to the Steelers like playing
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: in mud and dragging you into it. JJ Watt calling
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: TJ Watts' game a weekly tradition unlike any other.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Also, a couple of Watts cutting it up.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: What's up with that?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. What do you mean? Why not have
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Watt call Watts' game?
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: What's up with that?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get it now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: What's up? I gave you a real response. You had
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a funny joke. I gave you a real answer.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I didn't have a funny joke. I had a joke.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: It was okay.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: You got the sound, man. Drake May is the Tom
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Brady of Mac Jones's.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: That's a little unfair to drink, man.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It's your observation.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: It's yours. That's a bit much. That's a bit much.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I tried to take it out. You put it back in.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to pronounce this guy's name.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Eli Raridon. I get it right?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Proving all white tight ends look the same. Raridon, more
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: like Commodon.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Common Don.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I said it wrong?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: A little bit. Let's try it again. I get what
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: you were trying to go for there.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't confident doing it. Eli Raridon. Proving all
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: white tight ends look the same.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Raridon.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: More like Common Don.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Thank you. I also think it's Raridon.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I asked you.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: And I said it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: At no point.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: And I mean no point did I think the Jets
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: were winning that game.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I hate them.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Abby turned to me up 17-7 and said to me,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: what's wrong? And I said, they're going to lose. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: she said, they're up 10. And I said, they've already lost.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: She was confused.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: That game was never in doubt.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It could have been 24-7. Never in doubt.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Nobody. has ever deserved to lose a game more than
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn with that clock management.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: He's terrible.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you get the Jets in situational football, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you've got them right where you want them.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is unbelievable.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Hey, Red Zone, I don't need you to be ahead
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of the main game feed I'm watching.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Figure it out.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Good call. Good call.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: They're not synced up correctly. I understand that, and I
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: don't understand why. But how do you want the red
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: zone to figure it out? There's a reason they're not, right?
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: It's 2026.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: There's no reason why I should be watching multi-view and
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I'm watching the Jets main feed. And then with sound,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I'm watching the Jets' main feed. And then all of
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: a sudden, in the bottom right hand, I see a
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: drop punt in the Jets-Packers game where I'm like, whoa, whoa,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: red zone. You got to slow down there. Maybe just
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: have every game on red zone.
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Because I'm like a little bit of a delay to
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: kind of adjust for it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: So I go red zone only. If I'm watching the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: red zone, I won't watch another game.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: It will just be red. I don't do the multi-view.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: It's dizzying.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: It's confusing.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I just go red zone or I go Jets game.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That's what I do. No?
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: No.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: I have five games and red zone on. I essentially
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: tape my eyelids open, put drops in them, and I
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: just let football information flood into my brain.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And I guess with the Jet game, it doesn't matter
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: if it's ahead or delayed because you know what's going.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: To happen anyway.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Right, Mikey? Of course. Yes. 17-7.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: If football started in the fourth quarter, Tyler Shuck would
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: be the greatest of all time.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: He's really good.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: He treats the fourth quarter like Blake Bortles used to
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: treat garbage time, except he's winning, or at least coming
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: close to winning.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I texted Tyler Shuck yesterday. He responded.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Did you text him, hey, big dog? Because if you
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: didn't say big dog, then he's not coming on. You
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: know what?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I forgot to do it. That's your fault.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I started it with Shuck! And an exclamation point.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Is he coming on this week?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: He said, appreciate you, Stugatz. I remember the mother shuckers.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Radio Row, perhaps next week. Give me a buzz.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: How about that? I got it right here.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: You would have said big dog. He'd be on this week.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: You're right. I'm sorry. I'll send you his number.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: You drop.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Start with the Big Dog. In the fourth quarter, and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: only the fourth quarter, you know what the T in
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck stands for?
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Tom Brady. Yes.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Wow. What a great guess. You know what the S
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in Tyler Shuck stands for?
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of a quarterback. Go ahead.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Steve Young.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I was just trying to think.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I couldn't get to Steve Young. Baltimore Ravens got shucked.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson should have saved some of those points from
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: last week for this week.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Ben Johnson, do it in the elements. Caleb Williams. Madden curse.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Forgot about that. Madden curse. Jeez.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: So cold.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: So cold here on the cart.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Right. The C in Caleb stands for cold. And curse.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Every few years, we're reminded that Tyson Bajent is still
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: on the Bears.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Special Bajent.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Remember that run he had where you were like, man,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: is this guy something? And then, like, Three games in,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: you're like, oh, no.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's nothing. I do remember that run.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: He was there before the floaty was a thing. Otherwise,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: he might have had.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: One.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Jameis Winston not winning the floaty.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Not yet. It's Drew Locke's award to lose, right? Right
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: now it is.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Correct?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Right. It's been great.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: The only thing doubtful about Sam Levitt was his ability
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to complete a pass. Lane Kiffin, taking credit for the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: atmosphere at Ole Miss. Lane, the Stugatz is strong in you.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: It's well done. It was a win-win, classic win-win.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, before you took the LSU job, you should
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: have made sure Trinidad Chambliss would go with you.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: That would have been an ideal. Yes.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, 13-26 against top 25 teams. Lane Kiffin is
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: just SEC James Franklin.
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Stu, don't look now. James Franklin and Virginia Tech, they're
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: kind of good.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Well, we always do that with James Franklin, and I'm
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: not going to look now.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Isn't this the James Franklin cycle?
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: No, but what I think happened with James Franklin when
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: we took him out of Penn State, we took him
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: out of the deep end and we moved him to
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: the ACC, which is like the equivalent of like a
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: kiddie pool.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a kiddie pool, right?
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And anyone can survive in the kiddie pool.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think. I don't know what I'm doing there.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to watch him.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Not today, not tomorrow, only if they make the playoffs
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm forced to watch him.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: But he's not making the playoffs. You have him making
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the playoffs?
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Not this year.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Eventually.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Okay. Because he's in the kiddie pool. Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: And he knows how to swim well enough. He knows
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: how to tread water.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: That's all he does.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, catch of the year. Mikey, you know what
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the C in Chase stands for?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Catch of the year.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: It was right there for you. Good.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Yes. Yeah. I thought you were trying to sneak one
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: around on me.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Yep. No, I wasn't. Just straightforward. Hey, TV broadcast.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: When somebody dislocates their elbow, I promise you, we don't
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: need to see it ten times.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Enough. Why? Why?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: You show it once. I get it. I see it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I see how gruesome the injury is. I do not
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: need to see it nine more times.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Don't. In case you missed it. Got to show it again.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: And again.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Cam Ward leads the league in extending plays just to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: still throw it out of bounds.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: But he's so good at it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: He is so good at extending those plays and then
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: getting rid of it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: If the point of football was to scramble away, create
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: some time, and throw it out of bounds, then he
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: should have been the number one pick in the draft.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: He's great at it. No one better.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: The Titans uniforms are too good for them to be
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: this bad. That was Philadelphia's first road win against the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Titans since 1991. The House of Pain game. You know
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: what that means, Mikey?
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, they were due.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You're on your game today, man. Jeez.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I miss Steve Young. I'm still upset with myself.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Where else would you have gone there?
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's Steve McNair.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of how it could have been
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Marino or something.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: But it had to be an S. It had to
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: be an S.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl. Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: True.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Got caught in my thoughts. All right.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers. Frisky.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Panthers giving up 59 points last week and three points
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: this week. Tale of two weeks. Same with the Bears,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I guess, right? Scoring 59 and scoring three.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Tale of two weeks.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Couple of tales cutting it up. Cooper Rush with a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: rare ability to make B.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: John Robinson boring. Taylor, you know you wrote Drake London
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: here as well as B.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: John Robinson. I only chose one.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: I went with B.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: John because the B in B. John stands for boring.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Stu, once I saw that typo there, I was like,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: he is going to read it no matter how I
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: typed it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I should have went with a rare ability to make
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Drake B. John Robinson boring.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Mikey, I saw that typo coming a mile away. B.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: John Robinson with Cooper Rush is like putting a race
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: car in a school zone. The Falcons will fix any defense.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: You know what the F in Falcon stands for, Mikey?
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Fixing defenses?
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fixing any defense. You're getting an A today, man.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Jack Strand's first NFL pass being a pick six. Only
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: up from here.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: The saddest sign I saw. This weekend was in that
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons game. A fan, a Falcons fan brought a
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: sign that said, it's strand time. Re-evaluate your life at
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: that point.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Please do, yes. You know what the S in strand
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: stands for?
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Sad.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: I love the idea of him like 50 years from
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: now telling his grandkids, yeah, my first play, I threw
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: a touchdown for the Carolina Panthers.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I didn't know you played for the Panthers. I didn't. Nope.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: They didn't need my help either. Taylor, put it on
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the poll. If you're a fan holding a strand time sign,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: do you need to re-evaluate your life?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: It's strand time.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I think it was we want strand. I think that's
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: what the sign said.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Whatever the sign is, just put it on the poll.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Does that fan need to re-evaluate their lives? First matchup.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Of coaches named Todd in NFL history. What are the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Todds of that happening? It was Todd Bowles and Todd Munkin.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: A couple of Todds cutting it up.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I skipped it. What are the Todds?
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Well, what's funny, I think they're both named Todd Robert.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Get out of here.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: What are the Todds?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: If the Buccaneers and Browns game never resumed, would anybody
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: actually notice?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: My survivor pool pick.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: What time did that game end?
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: It ended with, like, the 7 p.m. window starting, I think.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: It was after the witching hour.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Well, yes.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: No, it was a 1 o'clock game. It was in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the second half of the 4 o'clock games, I think,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: is when it ended.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it ended about 7 p.m., I think.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: It's crazy.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Happens down here, though.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Lightning.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Stupid.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Ruben Bain with zero pressures through two weeks. Maybe the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: draft analysts were right about his arms.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: It's a game of inches. It's been close.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: And he's lacking inches.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: You're the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mike Tomlin calls today. What
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: do you do?
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Hello, Mike. When? Yes. Today? Tomorrow?
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: What?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: You need a ride?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: What are the Todd's of that happening, though?
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Going to that well a little bit. Going to that
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: well a little too often here.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying Tomlin's not going to– what's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the T in Tomlin stand for?
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Todd's.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying Tomlin's not going to call the Tampa
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers. That's not a team he wants to coach,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: But you have him calling the New York Jets?
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: Move on.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: You have him calling the Jets.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: You have him. I don't think he's. All right.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Who's he calling? then oh i know he's calling texans.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: We'll say well no no they can't get.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Rid of him well they can for him yes.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: They can north carolina maybe they can.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Get rid of him for him no north carolina taylor
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: wishes north carolina would you want tomlin to be your
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: head coach or you're done with nfl.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Coaches I'd take anybody else.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Really? Tomlin calls Duke.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to the Bengals for finally giving Joe Burrow a defense.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: That's upsetting.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: NASCAR needs more fistfights. And even then, I'm not sure
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I'd watch. Close your eyes and just imagine how good
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Camario Taylor will look in a Miami Hurricanes jersey next year.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying this about Texas A & M. Mike
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Elko is my friend. They're not frauds.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it. You said it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's not nice.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: We love Elko. We love Elko.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Yep, not saying it. That's Taylor's observation. Texas A &
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: M frauds. I said I wouldn't say it. Taylor said it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure we're going to like Will Stein. Let's
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: see how he goes first.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: North Carolina. Clemson.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Someone had to win. North Carolina just wanted it less.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Dabo Swinney. celebrated that win like he beat one of
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Belichick's Patriot teams. Hey, Dabo, you beat Billy Edwards Jr.,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: not Brady. Act like you've been there before. You were
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the one that was saying if you squint when you
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: look at Billy Edwards Jr.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: what you'll see is Tom Brady. That was two weeks
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: ago you said that, Taylor.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had my eyes checked and I don't.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: See it anymore.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I have to be honest. When I said I don't
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: know if I'd watch NASCAR with fights.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I do know. With certainty, I wouldn't. NC State did
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: what NC State does. The Wolfpack.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: If you had NC State plus three and a half,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame you. If you never bet again. It
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: was that bad?
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: We've never seen a team lose like that before.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Really? Geez. Never. Both of you had the same reaction.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: That bad, huh?
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: It was an ending that I immediately sent to everyone
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: I knew when it hit social media.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I was like, have you seen this?
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: NC State just needed to take a safety. Dan Orlovsky
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: wins that game. The rare game Dan Orlovsky would have won. Mikey,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you know what the O in Orlovsky stands for?
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Out of the back of the end zone? Yes!
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Stu, I have a stat that highlights how bad NC
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: State's loss was.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Teams with the ball and the lead in the final
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: 10 seconds of a game.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: The last 20 seasons entering today.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Now I realize the reaction.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: 1,046 and one. The only other loss was the Michigan-Michigan
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: State drop punt.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That's a bad beat, man.
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: Oh, God.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: A tip of the cap to one Howie Rose.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Is he done?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: What happened? What's going on with Howie? Done? Yeah?
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Retired.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: All right. You know what the R in Rose stands for?
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Retired.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: The Raiders have two quarterbacks that are better than Justin Herbert.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks might, too. I like Drew a lot. I
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: wouldn't blame Madison Beer if she called off the engagement.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, she went into it thinking that she was
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: going to marry a good quarterback.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. According to some people, he's still a good quarterback.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Well, who?
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: A lot of people still make an excuse.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Are they really?
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Your favorite quarterback analyst's favorite quarterback is Justin Herbert.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Chris Sims?
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Yes. Whoever. You like Dan Orlovsky, his favorite quarterback?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I don't know if Chris Sims. I got
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to be honest. We haven't spoken to Chris Sims. We
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: will later this week.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, it'd be nice to ask him.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I think Sims is starting to question it. I do.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: So this quote was from Dan Orlovsky yesterday on the
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Pat McAfee show.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Jesus.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: It's a comedy of errors by everyone but Justin Herbert
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Enough. Enough.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Enough.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Out of the back of the end zone. Where do
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: you say it, McAfee? Yep. Pat McAfee. More like Pat McA-tree.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Spot McAfee.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I'll play that game all day, dude.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: You'll win.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Here's something to ponder. Did Tua make Mike McDaniel look good?
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: No need to discuss that.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Dashing away for a rainy day, although I will say
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it's something I might want.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: To discuss now. It's a fair thing to think about.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Death, taxes, and us asking the question, are the Raiders
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: for real? A tradition unlike any other.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: They're 2-0.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: They have two quarterbacks better than Justin Herbert.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: For real? No.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I like what they did in the offseason.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Listen, on their way, maybe.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: For real, no.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Not now.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Too soon.
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Alt, four penalties. Max Crosby, had him in hell.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Speaking of hell, Art Bryles. Mikey, those are the weekend observations.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Will Stein, the head coach of the University of Kentucky
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: football team, is joining us right now.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Excited to have him.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Coach, I am wondering here to get started, you were
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: born in Louisville, Kentucky. You played football as a walk-on
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: at Louisville. How do friends and family feel about a
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: kid born in Louisville, played college ball in.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Louisville, being the head coach of the University of Kentucky?
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, it's... It's pretty surreal, to be honest.
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: You know, I grew up a diehard Kentucky fan. My
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: dad played here in Kentucky. My mom's a graduate of Kentucky.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: So blue ran in my blood up until I was
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: 18 years old and decided to walk on in Louisville.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Had a great experience there and played for Steve Crackthorpe
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: and Charlie Strong. And it all comes full circle. Ended
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: up right back here at UK. So, you know, we're
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: blessed to be in this position.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: But no one's giving you any sort of crap because, hey,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: you're from Louisville, you went to Louisville, and now you're
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: coaching Kentucky.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're arch rivals.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I get the text, like, I'm
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: rooting for you every game but one. I'm like, I
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: wish you would just tell me that you're not rooting
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: for me at all.
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: You know, like, I hate those texts. I think those
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: are just lame as hell.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: This is your first coaching job. Congratulations to you, head
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: coaching job. And I am wondering, what has surprised you
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the most about being a head coach?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: At this level.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: I might think just everything that you got to do
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: on a day-by-day basis all of the problems come to
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: you you know when i was the offense coordinator the
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: last five years of my career it was uh you
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: dealt with the offense you dealt with offensive recruiting you
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: obviously had relationships on both sides of the ball but
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: you know you dealt with one side and now i'm
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: dealing with everything but you know that's what uh leadership's
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: all about is is problem solving being adaptable and thankfully
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: i have great people around me and great players around
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: me to help me.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Coach, after SEC media days, you were asked, why is
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Kentucky going to win? And you said, because of me.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: And then you go on the road and beat number nine,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M. And you said, I'm not shocked.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: This is what Kentucky football is supposed to look like.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Where does that level of confidence that you have come from?
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Well, number one, my players, the way that they practice
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: every single day and come prepared for meetings and have
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: an intentional mindset to get better, that gives me a
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: lot of confidence.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: I love my staff. We're extremely connected.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: They're, they're, You know, guys that I love being around
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: outside of football. And so I think it's just really
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: the people in this building that give me that confidence.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: What happened to your team, Coach? I was so excited.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I was watching that game. I thought you guys were
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: going to win that game. And I'm sorry to bring
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: up a bad memory here, but what happened there in
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the second half to Alabama?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: And what did your team learn from that second half
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: against Alabama?
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, the Alabama game, I think, you know,
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: we learned a lot, to be honest. You know, we
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: didn't finish that game. We started off really well. We
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: created turnovers on defense. We moved the ball on offense.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: You know, going up 17-13, going into halftime was huge. And,
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: you know, it was 17-16 with three minutes left in
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: the third quarter. So we knew and we know that
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: we have great players on this team. And it was just,
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: more or less finishing each play and not looking at
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: the scoreboard. And so that was the big focus going
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: into this game, especially on a, on the road in
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: the sec hostile environment, truly, having one play focus and
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: and our whole theme last week was being the eye
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: of the storm and we knew there was a lot
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: of chaos going around a lot of people talking about
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: us in a negative way and it was just do
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: our job right and that was what i was most
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: proud of with our guys is they didn't let anything
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: phase them sometimes i feel like you you you inherently
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: do that on the road better because you're literally there
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: with your squad.
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: You know, you got family in the stands, but it's
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: not like, like the Alabama game for me.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: There's 50 people that wanted tickets, you know?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: You know, I got A & M, it's just me
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: and my squad.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: So I do love going on the road in those moments.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: And we bunkered down and came out with a big,
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: big win.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Coach, as a first time head coach, when you're taking
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: over a program, How important is getting this kind of
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: early win against a top 10 team where the players
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: could actually see, OK, this works, what we're doing is
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: leading to success?
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think it is big.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: It's our ability to double down on our process, which
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: I believe is a great way to do things, how
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: we practice, how we plan, how we meet. But, yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: it was big for our guys. I mean, shoot, we're
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: 1-1 in the league. You know, I didn't overreact after
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: two games here like everybody else. You know, we just
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: got back to work and had a great week of
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: practice last week and put together another really good practice
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: today on Tuesday and looking forward to another opportunity.
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: Against South Owl.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Coach, so the trickiest thing for you, I guess you
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: kind of answered this, but I am wondering, as a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: first-time head coach, and you talk about managing kids, is
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: it fair to say, because I coached at one point,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: not at your level, but I coached a women's lacrosse team.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: They were the best in the country for two years.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: My daughter went to college, played lacrosse at Northwestern University.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: And for me, coaching, one of.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: The things that I found is, all these kids are
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: different and you have to get to know each one
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: of what makes each one tick. Have you found that
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: to be an important part of coaching? Because these kids
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: cannot all be coached the same. And I'm wondering how
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you go about doing that.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: Well, I liked your subtle flex right there. The best
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: team in the country.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, coach, they were, I should.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Be coaching college. In fact, if you want to start
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: a program at Kentucky, I'll come be the head coach.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's right. I like that. No, but you're right. No,
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: everybody's different. And, it hasn't changed.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, when I was playing, you know, before I
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: was playing, everybody's different. And so I think that's the,
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: the sign of really good coaching is being able to,
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: to meet your players where they're at, but also push
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: them the limits that they've never been to before.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: So it's never the same.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: This team this year is different than what I experienced
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: at Oregon.
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: So I couldn't just rinse, repeat everything that we did
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: with Dan Lanning here because it just didn't fit necessarily
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: this year's team. So, Everything's different, but I think the
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: number one factor that coaches have to continue to do
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: is build connection with the players. I mean, if they don't–
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: and not like that they have to like you or
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: be your friend, but do they respect you and do
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: they know that, like, you love them unconditionally, not when
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: they just make plays for you on the field and
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: that they know that.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: You have their back.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: That, to me, is a major factor in developing a team. Right.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Coach is taking time out of his time to get
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: to know me. That's important.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Exactly.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: Coach, you mentioned those relationships, and you were at Oregon.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: How much of an eye are you keeping on how
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: much they've struggled going into this first three weeks?
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: Listen, man, you got Dan Lanning, you got Dante Moore,
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: you got that squad. They're going to be just fine.
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: In 2024, we barely beat Idaho. We should have lost
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: to Boise State.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: We scored three special team scores in that game and
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: went 13-0 and won the Big Ten.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: So Dan Lanning is an elite coach. They have elite
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: coaches and players, and they'll be just fine.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Coach, I love your quarterback, Kenny Minchie, and you mentioned
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: your time at Oregon. You're on a great run of quarterbacks,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Bo Nix, Dylan Gabriel, Dante Moore. What did you see
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: in Kenny Minchie to know that he would thrive in
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: your offense?
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I think there's a lot of factors,
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: and in the portal recruiting, everything happens at a rapid
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: amount of rapid speed.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: So it's hard to really know Our offensive coordinator, Joe Sloan.
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: Had a prior relationship with him through recruiting him in
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: high school, which was, I think, big for us initially.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: And also, Joe Sloan worked hand-in-hand with Mike Denbrock at LSU.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: So Mike's coaching Kenny at Notre Dame. There was some
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: carryover in terms of just the relationships. And when you
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: watch the tape, even in the backup time that he
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: did last year, I just saw throws that translated to
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: our offense.
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: Um, you watch his high school tape.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: He was an elite 11 finalist, one of the top
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: 10 quarterbacks in the country. To me, it was just
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: an opportunity. Just like we all get opportunities in life.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: You all have on your show.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: I have here.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: It was Kenny's opportunity to come here and take it.
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: And so, um, and I think you just need people
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: that like poured into him, believed in him and Hey, you're,
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: you're a guy. Right.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: And so he's just, he's taken and taken it and
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: ran with it.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: And I think the best thing that happened to Kenny
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: was honestly, we too, not playing to his standard. comes
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: back in week three and has a really good.
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: Performance on the road.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: So I'm excited about him and his growth that's going
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: to happen over this week and throughout the course of
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: this season.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Coach, when you were around Bo Nix, coaching Bo Nix,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: did you think he would turn into this at the
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: NFL level?
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Because this is pretty special.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: 100%.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: 100%. Yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: Probably the best player I've ever been around in my life.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: He's an absolute freak show.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, people don't realize he's 6'3, 218, runs 4'5, too,
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: you know, and, like, has a cannon, accurate, the smartest
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: guy I've ever been around in terms of football IQ,
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: son of a coach, competitive, relentless.
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, the guy's– the sky's the limit for Bo.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: In a weird hypothetical world, if you were picking number
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: one in the NFL draft, would your pick be Dante Moore?
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean, I love Dante. I think he's a
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: freak show too, man.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I think if he went out last year, I
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: don't know if.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: He would have passed up Fernando, but I think it
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: would have been close once they went through the entire process.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: So he's got all the intangibles. He can make every throw.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: He's an elite competitor and an even better person. So yeah,
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: I would definitely be choosing Dante as a quarterback for sure.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: All right. I'm going to try a game on you here.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: It'll be quick. Okay. Very easy. It's called will or
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: will not. Okay.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to give you A scenario here, and
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: you tell me if it's something you would do or
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do, essentially.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Why am I explaining it to you? It's simple. Will
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: or will not. Okay.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: Okay.

  Speaker 7: Wait, Mikey, you put ketchup on your steak?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: No, no.

• 37:21
  Speaker 6: Maybe when I was really little.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He's given walk-ons a bad name, Coach.

  Speaker 4: All right. Go ahead, Mike.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: I didn't even know that was a question.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: Whenever you see, like, the cartoon ketchup, it's got, like,
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: the ketchup and the mustard. Is it not?
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: That's a great point.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: He's so right about it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: All right. This one's a little harder now.
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: International football games.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: International football games.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: That's a bad spot you're putting me on.
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: I think it would be fun for our guys. I
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: don't know. I don't know how that would work out.
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: I think it depends. I don't know if I'd want
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: to go to Australia like Sean McVay and Shane had
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: to do. Nothing against Australia. That's just pretty far.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a far trip to play a football game.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Are you a golfer? Are you a golfer? Into golf
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: at all?
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Tricked out golf carts. Will or will nots?
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: Tricked out golf cart.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, I wouldn't say tricked out, but like, you know,
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: I think it'd be, I might have like a golf cart.
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: I don't have one now, but I think you could
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: get one. Okay.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: You can get one. You can get one for free coach.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: If you want.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I'm certain.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's not like a full, but I would
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: not like choose that. But if somebody was like, Hey,
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: we got a cool golf cart. I'd be like, all right.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I'll drive it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Mike.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Plant-based meat.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: Plant-based meat?
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: No. No. Get out of here. He's the half-football coach
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: of Kentucky. What are you talking about? Blaring music on
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: a golf course. Will or will not?
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: Blaring music?
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, because when you have a tripped-out cart, you've got
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: to blare music.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Out of it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: You get speakers, the whole deal.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: No. No.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: No.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: All right, Taylor?
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: I do like music on a golf course, but I
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: wouldn't say blaring it. Okay.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's fair.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Okay. I actually have a separate question.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: What?
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: There used to be a bit where people wondered if
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: the San Francisco Giants and the New York Giants would
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: hang out together because they were both Giants. When you
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: took over Kentucky, do you ever hang out with Willie Cauley-Stein?
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Will Stein, Willie Cauley-Stein?
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: I have not yet.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: No.
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: I need to meet Willie Cauley-Stein. I know. It'd be
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: like the tale of two wills.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: He's just a cauley away.
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: He's like seven foot. I'm like five nine. It'd be
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: pretty funny.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Mikey is right. He made a bad joke. He's just
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: a callie away. Last one. Will or will not.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: We've enjoyed this very much. We want to come up
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: to Kentucky. We're big fans. I want to do the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: show from the sidelines of one of your games, if possible.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Last one for you.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Kentucky will always be known as a basketball school. Will
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: or will not. You're going to change that. Come on.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: No, no. I think this is a great athletics department.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, Craig Skinner's got our women's volleyball top three
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: in the country. We have some elite teams. Nick Mingione,
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: our baseball coach. Mark Pope, love him, man. I'm a
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: giant Kentucky basketball fan. I think Kentucky's an elite school
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: and an elite university, and Big Blue Nation is the
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: best in the country.
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: And to me, I think we can all go out
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: there and have a lot of success.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: All right. We have a busy schedule here, Coach. We
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: have trips to make to Memphis. I think we're going
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: to Texas for a game. We'd like to come to
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: a Kentucky game. Are we invited? Would you welcome us,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I guess is what I'm asking.
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, is that a will or will not?
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'll set a Kentucky game, will or will not.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Will.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: Will. Yeah, will.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: All right, but you're not going to let me call
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: a play, right? Like that's going 2-4, correct?
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, it depends on what play you want
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: to call. I can give you like a menu of
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: plays that we have.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: You can pick which one you like.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: That's fine, right. Give me five options and I'll just
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: choose one, okay?
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll get this.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to your people, your SID, your athletic director,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: and we'll make a trip.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: To Kentucky. Coach, we enjoyed this very much.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to you and good luck to you here the
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: rest of your way, the rest of the way. Your
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: team is a very fun team to watch. We enjoy
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: watching them.
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: Appreciate you guys. Go Cats.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: You got it, man.
