• 1:15
  Speaker 4: 25 Whistles.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: All right, blow it. Hey, how about them cowboys? Hey,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: where's the hat?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Do you have it? Oh, boy.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Put it on. Get it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We're back, baby.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Look at this guy. Look at this guy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: We're back, baby. Are you back?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: We're back.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It got a little closer, though, than it needed to.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Towards the end there, it got a little closer.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Without a quarterback, too.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: You know what, though? Man, I think if Jaden hadn't
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: gotten hurt, that could have been a problem. Because he
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: was killing us with his legs.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no crap. That was my point. Like, they still
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: almost blew it with him.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: No, I know. And then we still almost blew it
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: with Mariota. Like, I understand. The defense is still a problem. But, dude,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a win is a win, and we will take it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got mine.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got mine.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I got mine.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: We're back.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So you, like, Super Bowl?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Dude, it was so relaxing, man. Super Bowl?
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Say it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think this is our year.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: We're back. Super Bowl, baby.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Like, those odds must have gotten crazy, huh, on the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl predictions? Like we're probably what, number two now?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, I haven't looked. I made my future and then
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: just stopped looking. I mean, I can look now if
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you want. Will you pull up the odds, Kevin?
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pulling them up.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I bet you we're two or three.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I bet you you're not. I bet you're not. So yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it's exciting for you.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: That was awesome, man.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You got to get a new hat though. You wear
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that same hat every day.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? This is my hat. I have
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: multiple hats. Don't worry. I have about 10 Dallas Cowboy hats,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: but this one, It's my lucky hat.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So the craziest thing over the weekend was not the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Cowboys winning. I expected them to. They needed to.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: They were a favorite.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It was that Vanderbilt game. I've never seen anything like
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that before. That was wild. And I didn't see it
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: live because I was in Vegas. My father-in-law texted me
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and said, did you just see the end of the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt game? I said, no, they lost. He said, look again.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So I looked at the clip. And then I saw
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the stat that it was maybe 1,046 and 1. where
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: teams winning and had the ball with 20 seconds or
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: less under.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That quarterback has got to feel like– I feel bad
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Can you explain what he was thinking?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Trying to run the clock out and then fall down.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: How about take the safety?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, but then you've got to kick the ball back.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I understand.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: No, no. All he had to do was sit up
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and then not fumble it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Right, just hold on to the ball.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They could have taken the safety, but then they
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: kicked the ball and gave them a chance to score.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I just think that there were multiple options in that scenario,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and he chose the wrong one.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: He didn't choose it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: That's why it was the option. Yeah, might have been
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: his coaches.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: He didn't see it coming from behind whenever the guy
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: hit him. But get down.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Usually you're taught to run around in the back and
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: then you step out of the back. He didn't do that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: I'm sure they didn't draw it up like that in practice.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he could have taken the safety like that. Sometimes, though,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: in this situation, they will just run out of the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: back of the end zone and kick the ball back.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But they don't want to give Vanderbilt the ball back.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, anything.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Anything.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That was bizarre.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I've never seen that before.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Was Vanderbilt, the word I had for Vanderbilt, was that lucky?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I know I picked somebody.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It was extremely lucky, yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, and I'm saying when we did our words
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: for certain teams.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't remember.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Last week, I think mine was lucky for Vanderbilt.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: I don't even know if we talked about Vandy, did we?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think we did.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, Vanderbilt. Okay, well, I said lucky for someone, but man.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Are you creating, you saying things right? I was like, guys,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'm so smart. Yeah, so that was a pretty crazy game.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: That was nuts.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I was in Vegas, so I got to watch all
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the games earlier than you guys, which is fine.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Or.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, earlier to you, but later.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I got to watch them earlier. You had to wait
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: until like 11 a.m. I was watching them at 9.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I was on a two-hour advantage. Do you like it
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: better early? Yeah, I like it better early. Like West
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Coast has it lucky because they don't have to wait.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It's like every game is in Europe. When the NFL
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: was playing in London, you wake up and they're playing
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at 7 a.m. That's just the West Coast all the time.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Did you bet? Not one time.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: What?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't bet anything on anything. I didn't win a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: bet the last week, and I don't feel the need
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to have to bet. And I had so much going
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: on that I don't need to bet and then check back.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: If I'm betting, it's for fun because I'm watching a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: game and it's making it a little more fun.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Good point.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So I don't need to bet for the sake of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: having a bet going.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I get that. Well, I mean, I understand where you're
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: coming from.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: It's not where I come from, but yeah.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't gamble at all. Wow. I didn't gamble in Vegas.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't bet one thing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Craps, roulette.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Nothing.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Didn't go to a table, didn't do a slot. Why?
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I was busy. And then you're talking about this poker
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: tournament that you might play in.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: In November.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: You've got to. Prepare.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Do you think I had time to go down and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: play poker?
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: You make time.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: No, also, when I had a little bit of time,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I was reading the Lane Kiffin book, which we talked
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to him coming up. I finished the whole thing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: That's crazy. You go to Vegas and you read a book. Like, honestly,
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: good for you.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Seriously, good for you, man. Oh, no, no, no.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: You were by the pool, though, right?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. I did not leave my room. I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: did not. When I wasn't working, I was in my room.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I never turned the television on except for the Arkansas
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: game on Saturday just a little bit, but I just read.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: And worked.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Watched the Arkansas disaster.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: How long of that game did you watch?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: All of it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: All of it?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I muted the third quarter in red while
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it was on.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: You just muted it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Because I owe it to myself to have to suffer
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: or to get to feel the rewards of it. But
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I spent so much of my life invested in Arkansas
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: football and Arkansas basketball. Then when it finally comes on,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to watch the whole thing.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Did you see the catch? That was a good one-handed catch.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nice one-handed catch.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That was the thing.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: That was the thing.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: That was it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Dude, you're right, though. I didn't think that– because you
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: said that no one was going to go to that game.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: No one went to that game.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It ended up being a little better, you know, five
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: minutes in. But, yeah, why would you?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: No, it looked like I was watching Sam Houston State
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: for sure, like where all those empty seats. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about the Cowboys.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Leave it on for the whole show. You don't know
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: how many of these days we're going to get.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I don't like how it rubs my forehead.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Oh, really?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: It hurts. No, I just don't like how it rubs
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: my forehead.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Is that made of leather?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: We'll come back to it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, and then you'll put it back on?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I'll put it back on.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Deal.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: Wait, I got the odds if we want to.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Hold on.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: When we do come back.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Get back on.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, Eddie, what did you say?
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Talk.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Two, three.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I would say two or three.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I would keep going down.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Five.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: Keep going.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I would bet it's like 12. Keep going.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: More?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: More?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: 14.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Go down. 15?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're right in the mid, huh?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: You know what? Now's the time.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: 2,500 plus 2,500.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Then now's the time to jump on it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: They didn't really prove anything, though.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: They really didn't.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Because the commanders aren't good anyway, and then they lost
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: their quarterback. Hey, a couple things since I didn't see
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: an update. Has there been an update on either Caleb Williams'
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: hamstring or Jaden's elbow?
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: As of now, just Caleb is week to week.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: That is an amazing case scenario.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: They did see him walking out with his family, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: he was putting.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Pressure on that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I saw him after that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Like limping, but he's walking.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Said it's going to be week to week for him.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: They avoided something major. So he's probably going to be
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: out this week.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: When he went down, it looked like a swipe got
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: him at first. That was a very wet game. So
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it looked like a swipe got him. And then once
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: they showed a swipe didn't get him and he went
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: down no contact, then you think Achilles. Then you go
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: absolute worst. And then when I heard hamstring, I thought, oh, okay. Well,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that sucks. He's going to miss, I don't know, a month. But, wow,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: week to week, that is great news if you're a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Bears fan.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: CeeDee looked good.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: CeeDee looked great. The offense looks good. I mean, the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: offense looked good even last week. They dropped a couple
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: of easy catches, but I mean, they looked good. I
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: was never worried about them. The defense looked like they
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: made a little bit of improvement, especially on the pass.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: The pass coverages and all that, but Dude, if we
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: can't stop the run, it's going to be a long season.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but like the Bears, they can't stop anybody. They're
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: just scoring a lot of points.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: That's true. That works sometimes.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a terrible rain game, though.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: It was a hard game to watch.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I didn't watch a lot of it. I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: did watch because it was getting down to it when
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: he got hurt. Was it third quarter?
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, late.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, towards the end.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: What was your situation? What time did you get back?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Well, so my, it was an 8 a.m.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Flight.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: What's fun about in Vegas, you can watch the NFL
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: games earlier, two hours and you guys. So I got
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to see them two hours earlier.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Here we go. Yeah.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And so it was an 8 a.m. flight. And so
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that'd be 10 a.m. for us. And so my feeling was,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to, I'm on a, I'm reading something else.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I was going to read for the first hour, then
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: do tech talk for an hour.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And then I would be two hours into a four
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: hour flight and spend the last two watching games. Problem
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: was the, Southwest Wi-Fi was going in and out. It
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was so spotty. I know. It's the worst. It was
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: so bad that, first of all, they do the free TV.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And I went to that only secondarily because I, at first,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: was trying to... to connect on my stupid phone and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it would not. It'd go and it'd crap out. You
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: know how you look at and it just disappears sometimes
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: up in the right corner and it shows you the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Wi-Fi and it just disappears and you're like, oh, dang.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So that was happening and my YouTube TV kept dying out.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: It'd go for like 30 seconds, freeze and go out.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: So I thought, we must be over Kansas. Kansas. where
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: maybe there's not a lot of activity. I was just
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: making up scenarios as to why my wifi wouldn't work.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And so then I thought, well, let me just open
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: my laptop and I'll connect for free and watch it
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: on CBS. And then it was the jets and Titans.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And that was.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: That was last week.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: It was Eagles and Titans.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Same colors, different colors. Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm watching that and it keeps crapping out. Even
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the free TV that Southwest offers on a game. I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: cared nothing about. So it was bad. And, So I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: just had to watch the little one. They kicked the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: little field goal over the cartoon. And then it says
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: 12-yard gain. I had to do that for a while.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: And I was watching a little bit of fantasy scores.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And then once I got home, I got to watch
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: basically the second halves of all that first round of games.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: But glad the Cowboys won because we had some money
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: on that one.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay lost to the Stupid Browns. Yes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: How did the Browns even win?
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we have them as losers in our skin,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: so we needed that.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but just the Browns shouldn't win, period.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: No, they really shouldn't. Dude, it's getting bad in my house, too.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: The whole family's yelling, kill him.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: At Sean Watson?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: I finally told them what he did.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: And now they're like, kill him! Kick him in the shins!
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: It's a thing.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, he didn't play terrible.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: No, he really didn't. But it's a bit now in
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: my house. They just now love yelling, kill him when
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: he has the ball.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: Oh, boy.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, how are you doing with that Josh Allen football
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I gave you?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Okay. It's funny you ask. So I've had it in
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: my closet just wondering what to do with it. I've
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: been like, man, the problem with that kind of stuff
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: is like two of my boys, they stay in one room.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: They share a room, right? So they kind of always
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: get first dibs on like, hey, I got a jersey.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: You guys can hang it up in your room. The
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: little one gets jealous because he's not in their room.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: He's like, what do I get? So I was just
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: kind of wondering, what am I going to do? Bobby
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: gave me a signed Josh Allen football. Freaking awesome. It's
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: got the Bills emblem on it and everything. I'm like,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: what am I going to do with this thing? And
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: finally it hit me. We have our family fantasy league.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: And every year they're just like, what do we win, Dad?
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, it's just for fun, guys. Bragging rights.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: And I said, you know what? This year I'm going
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: to make it way cooler. And I busted out the ball.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: And they're like, guys, this is our prize for the
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: fantasy league. And they're just like, what? That's so cool. But, dude,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: it's crazy now. Now they're hacking each other's phones and
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: trying to mess their lineups before the freaking game. No way.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: It's getting dirty because they want that football so bad.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: And then my wife is like, I don't want the football.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: What do I get?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: So how many people are in the league? It's all
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: six of us.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: It's my whole family.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And you have pretty stacked teams then.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah. That's fun.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: And dude, we even have stacked people on the bench.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: We have great athletes on the bench right now. That's fun.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, good luck to everybody.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: That's a cool prize, though, but what if your wife
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: does win?
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: She gets like a Starbucks gift card or something. Like,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll make it fun for her, too. She
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: really doesn't care about the ball.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Everybody do their teams, their own team's game.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Kevin?
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was ugly. It was hard to watch, especially
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: the first half. I think it was 10-3 at halftime.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Patriots who?
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Patriots, Steelers. Patriots won 20-3. Steelers' offense is really bad.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: Our defense looked really good, but the Steelers' offense, oh,
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: that's brutal. DK Metcalf couldn't catch anything.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Well, also, they had your boy on them. He's shutting
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: them down.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Christian Gonzalez.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They paid him much money, signed a deal, then
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: just put him on DK, and DK can do anything.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: He's so good. And then our D-line got after it.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: Linebackers got after it. Our offense still looks super shaky.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Drake May still, like, he just doesn't look confident right now,
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: but I'm trying to be optimistic and be like, okay,
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: it's just early. Got to get the confidence back. We
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: don't have A.J. Brown, so we just got to get
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: through the next, what, month or so without him, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: then I think we'll be all right.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Then Henderson came back.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, he looked awesome. He's so fast.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Stevenson fumbled again.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: They were giving Drake May some real interception shame. They
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: were like, three interceptions in the Super Bowl. Three interceptions
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in week one. It was right after the interception yesterday.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, real bad.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And now we've already got another one. We've got seven
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: interceptions in three games.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and he didn't throw a touchdown yesterday. He just,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Everything's short for him right now. It's
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: like he has PTSD still from the Super Bowl or
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Seahawks hitting him. And he just is back there. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: they're not rolling him out. That's what I want to
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: see them do, like get him outside the pocket a
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: little bit, kind of like they do with Josh Allen,
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: or even run him a little bit would be fun.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Talk to Vrabel.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Have you let your coaches know your opinion? Yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll send them this.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Your educated opinion?
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll send them.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Ask for a meeting or something.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, send them this link. Well, Robert. Put the little
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: paper airplane on Instagram and send it over to Vrabel.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Share it? Yeah, share it over.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: You think he'll read it?
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: I got you. Okay, thanks, Brandon.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Thanks, dude. You got to win, though.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: WWE. Yeah. No, I'm happy with it. I'll take it
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: all day, one-on-one.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: It's all good.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Did you see the press conference with Aaron Rodgers after?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: No.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: So basically he was saying, hey, this game's on me.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I got to let the coaches know when they suck
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: at play calling. It's basically what he was saying. Oh, boy.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: He didn't say it exactly like that, but it did
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: it his way. He goes, I got to let them
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: know when Mike calls a play and it ain't good.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: It's up to me to let them know that ain't
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a good play.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: That sounds like him.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: It sounds exactly like him. It was such a funny
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: way for him to not– Take the blame. Yeah.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: It's weird to see McCarthy on the sideline over there.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: It is weird.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I'm like, it just doesn't fit.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: There's something about it. It doesn't fit.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: How about the Raiders? Oh.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: The Raiders.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: They're 2-0. Kirk Cousins looks pretty good.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: He still, like, lofts it. His arm is just like, whoop.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I said pretty good.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: I know, I know.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Like, the power's not there.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like, it just, like, floats to his receivers.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But they're catching it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: And they don't even have Brock Bowers.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: They don't.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Like, they're pretty good.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Jenty looks good.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: That double pass they tried to throw was a garb.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Arkansas tried that crap, too. That was a whole different.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That was bad.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: That was terrible.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Mike, Texas. Texas won, but they look sloppy.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: Arch did not look good.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Like, a C- performance from him.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Who did they play, Mike? UTSA. 36.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: We should have crushed them, though.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: But they're coming after, like, a real high. Like, that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Ohio State game. Were they just overly confident? They're probably tired.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: And they could chill on this game.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And they were just so hyped from winning that one.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Who does Ole Miss play next week? See who they're playing.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: If it's a halfway decent.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Game, they're going to struggle.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I'd probably not bet on Ole Miss.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Playing Florida.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I'd bet on Florida. I'm curious to know what the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: line is. Florida's pretty good. Florida's Kirk Cousins. Florida's pretty good.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: They left it in there.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I watched some of the Florida-Auburn game. Pretty good. Yeah.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Florida looks good.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: They're pretty good. They're cousins. Yeah. Hey, Mike. So, Texas,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: they did win. The Oklahoma barely beat New Mexico. Like,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I scored almost like 14-7 or something. If you look
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: at that game.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Florida's a favorite, by the way. Hosting Ole Miss. Three
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: and a half.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Three and a half?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was 14-6.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: The New Mexico-Oklahoma game?
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Crazy.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: So Texas and Oklahoma. Texas didn't struggle, but they won
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: their game. And after a high, that's cool. Who do
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you guys got next, Mike?
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Tennessee.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: That's fun.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: You guys should win that, but that's fun. The football

• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys, man.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: And we talked about it. It was great, except I'd
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: like to see the defense do a little better, stop
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the run a little better. We have the Ravens coming
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: up next in Rio de Janeiro. That's going to be tough, man,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: because Derrick Henry is like... Born again.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: You say that, though. The irritating thing about the Ravens
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: yesterday is I think Derrick Henry had 11 carries in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the first half and like four or five in the second.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Where did he go? They just didn't go back to him.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to paper airplane this to mentor the coach.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: Do it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: You've got to give Derrick Henry the ball. Why are
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: we not giving him the ball?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Especially when he's coming off a game like that. You've
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: got to give him the ball.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I can't believe they lost that game.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Right. That one hurt, too.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Did you see the Kiwi sneak from Shuck? To win
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: the game at the very end.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Well, they kept stopping them too. They kept stopping them.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: And I thought, we had money on Baltimore. So I
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: was rooting for them selfishly there. But I like Shuck.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And I think the Saints are interesting because they've actually,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: but they did this to us before where we thought
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the Saints were going to be awesome.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: It was a couple years ago the car was like
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: yeah yeah.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: So i'm not gonna fall for it yet but shuck's
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a real quarterback yeah he looks good shuck's a real
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: quarterback um so cowboys yeah so cowboys but i don't
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: know if they can get better at defense.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Well we're missing now we're missing a our linebacker so
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: i mean it's just i don't know we're dealing with
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: a couple of injuries but I just felt like that
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: defensive line with Kenny Clark and Quinn Williams would be
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: so freaking good and just wreak havoc at the line,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: and it's just not happening right now.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Arkansas won. We beat Georgia. It was awesome. What?
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know if.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: You guys saw the real ending.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: We're happy for you.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: You guys probably saw the woke ending where we lost. No, no, no.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: I saw something on Instagram. I was like, I'm going
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: to send this to Bobby. He was like sad. And
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I can't even do it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I'm numb to it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Anything, it does not matter. I'm numb to it. I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: don't like that they're wearing the paper bags on their
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: heads for a coach. Look, do I know that he's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the guy? No. Do I know he's not the guy?
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: No.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's way too early to be sad in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the stands considering it's a brand new coach.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: It sucks.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And I get why you don't go. It costs a
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: lot of money to get tickets, for gas to get
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: up there. For the day.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Parking.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And if it's going to go and you're going to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: watch a team get their heads blown up, you don't
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: want to do that. I can understand you not going
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to the game. I don't like the paper bags, though.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And the only reason they're doing that is because they
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: started making clips on social media going, boycott, wear bags.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Nobody boycotted. People just didn't go because they didn't want
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to waste a day watching us get crushed. Yeah. But
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: we won, though.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you did.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: Big underdogs.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I'll say this. When halftime hit, we weren't humiliated.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: No.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Because I was worried this game was going to start.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I was like, ABC, are you kidding me? They're going
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: to put us on ABC on the 11 o'clock noon game.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: For me, it was 9. I was watching it two hours.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Before you guys.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: You saw it before us.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I was going to text you guys, don't worry about
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: watching it. Because in two hours when this comes on,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: it's going to be terrible. We weren't humiliated by halftime. So, yeah,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: it felt pretty good. We're in a bad place. It's
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the lowest that I've ever been.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: I legit feel sorry for, like, not just you, but, like,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: your whole fan base.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: It's all we have.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And not only that, the other bottom-dwelling teams are all winning. Kentucky, winner.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State, winner. Vanderbilt wins the freaking fumble. We had
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: a good season. Like, we're the only bad team right now,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and it sucks. We like to have friends down here
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: in the basement. So, whatever. I don't know what we're
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: going to do. I feel stupid, though, giving them money
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: when they weren't raising money from anybody else. It's like
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: they put the graphic up and it's only my money.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: They're like, this is how much money Arkansas has in NIL.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: You're like, wait a minute, that's what I get.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: And it lists every team from Texas all the way down.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And then when it gets down on that graphic, it's
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Arkansas at the very bottom. And the amount they do
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: is just the money that I've given them.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: It has like down to the cent.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel had.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: Hey, but you got an x-ray room.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. The bones.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: So stupid.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Sorry, man.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Misery. Sorry. The Texas Tech-Houston game, I watched that a
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: bit on my phone. That was a good one. That
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: was even the night before, right?
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Friday, yeah. Houston's pretty good. Yeah, Houston's pretty good. That
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: quarterback's really good.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Houston scored less than a minute left, right? The
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech ended up winning the thing.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they went for two and didn't get it.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Right at it, too, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Man, these games feel like they were 10 years ago.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: That Vegas trip, when I do that crap, and then
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I can't get internet. That's a nightmare. You know, I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: was watching that game on the casino TV as I
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: was walking through. Now they have them up. Over the tables? Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Like the end of it, I was walking through, and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I just stayed and kind of watched one on the top.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Georgia beat Arkansas 45-17. Hey, here's the thing. Rutgers played
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: with USC.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: That was a surprise.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Big surprise.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Especially after they got whooped by UMass, who hadn't won
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a game since, what, 69? Yeah. Since Joe Namath.
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: So USC beat Rutgers 42-35. Rutgers stay within one score.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: That interception return, was that 99 yards, that pick six?
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: I didn't see it for Rutgers?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: No, USC.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, I didn't even see that.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't care about USC, but I did
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: learn a lot about them in the Lane Kiffin book.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: We talk a lot about that?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because, well, Lane was there a bunch of times,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: a couple times. That book's really good. We'll talk to
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: John Talti coming up in a bit. Alabama beat Florida State,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: but Florida State jumped up quick to where I thought, ooh,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: does Alabama suck?
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: And then we had to wait for like two hours
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: for that game to finish.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: It was almost like the freaking Tampa game yesterday.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, I know.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: The Todd Bowl.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was two minutes left. Two minutes. And
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: we had to wait like two hours for the last
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: two minutes. Louisville beat SMU. Kentucky went to College Station
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to beat Texas A & M. I know.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: They blew them out in the second half. I watched
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: that and was like, what the heck is going on?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Did you guys watch the Ole Miss-LSU game?
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: The whole thing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: That was great.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I watched the whole second half and a bit of
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: the first. I watched a bit of the first. Ole
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Miss was running away with it, and I was pretty
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: excited about that. And then I get down into the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: bowels of the arena thinking there would be no internet,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: and it had perfect internet. And so I watched the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: for-sure LSU comeback.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Didn't you guys all think LSU was going to come
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: back and win the game? Yeah.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Me and my money.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Who'd you bet on?
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: LSU.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: LSU.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I kept pounding on that live money line. Keep pounding
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: on it. So bad. But great game, though.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: You were Carolina Panthering them?
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Dude, I was.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Keep pounding? I was.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: And it didn't work out. But it's still a fun game.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a fun game. I was as shocked
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: as everyone, including the announcers, when they went for two.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss did. When they scored that touchdown to go
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: ahead and they went for two. And then LSU kept
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: jumping off sides. They just kept moving the ball like
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: six inches, six inches.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: It's pretty wild how good Chambliss is. There are some
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: good quarterbacks, and Chambliss is on a different level.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize he's older, huh?
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he's 30.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: No, no, he's not that old, but he's like.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Is he 24?
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: No, he's older, yeah.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Like 27, maybe.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: 25?
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: You thinking of Chris Winkie? How old was he?
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe 28 or 29.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, no, I think.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: He is 24, yeah.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, 24. That's what I said.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: But yes, he's a little older. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: his deal was he had like tonsillitis or something that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: kept him out of a whole year.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: And that's what they ended up suing to get him
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: that year of eligibility back.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: But he wasn't even supposed to be the starter last year.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Austin Simmons was.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Who like enrolled at Ole Miss when he was 16.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, I didn't know that.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Wow. And so, but then he got hurt because.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Chambliss?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Chambliss came from a Division II school.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: It was a backup.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: It's kind of cool, actually. My bad for making fun
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: of you. You did for being older. 24. Yeah, 24.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: How old was Chris Wienke? I'm going to guess 28
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: whenever he played for Florida State. Because I think, man,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: if he didn't win the Heisman, he was close. Because
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: he played baseball. And then he went to Florida State.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: When he ate when he won the Heisman. Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's crazy. We have a receiver at Arkansas in
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: his 30s who played baseball.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: The same guy? Uh-huh. Because I remember he played last year, too. Okay.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's getting Social Security and he's playing for Arkansas.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame beat Michigan State 27-10. So there's your footsball
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: as far as college goes. NFL-wise, I mean, the Bills
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: are awesome. So good. That was a casino game for me, too.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: That was on while I was there. And it was
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the first three drives Buffalo scored. I think the Lions punt-punt,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: maybe touchdown the third. Going from memory here. It was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: never really a game, even though it started to look
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: like a game at the end. But Detroit had no secondary. Like,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: their defense was completely wiped out, and Josh Allen was
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: just putting it on them.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: And that was a new, I don't know how much
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: you're able to watch it, but the new stadium.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: For the Bills. To me, it looked like a European
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: soccer stadium.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was pretty sweet.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't get to see a lot of it. Was
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: that on Amazon?
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: It is on Amazon on Thursdays. Yeah.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Eagles beat the Titans. Titans should have won the game.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy. They started off strong.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: The Titans tightened.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: They tightened down.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Titans always going to tighten.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Tighten down.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Patriots beat the Steelers.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: The good one.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Vikings beat the Bears. Vikings won again.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: Crazy.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz MVP. I'm saying it now.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Carson Wentz.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz MVP. Hey, are the Panthers good?
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Or are the Falcons that bad?
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Both, maybe. I mean, they pulled Cooper Rush.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: And then Jack Slack could eat no fat, whatever his
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: name is, went in. And he throws a pick like
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: his first.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: It was bad. He's from a Division II school, too,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Who is that? Is that Strand?
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. His name's Jack Strand, right? Jack Strand, yeah. Yes.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Jimmy Crackcorn?
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Jack Strand.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: That's tough over there.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I believe he's from a Division II school. or at
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: least a one double a, I get them confused. Now
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I have CS and division state.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Who is it?
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Minnesota state.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: That's yeah. It's for, uh, Dauber coach, coach and Dauber.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Are they division two?
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: So he's, I was rooting for him and immediate pick
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: bad news.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Bryce Young look good.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young did look good.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: So go Panthers. Keep pounding. Um, Packers beat the Jets.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: The Jets blew that.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: Idiots.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Idiots.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: But are the Jets better than we think they are? Yes.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: All that can be true.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: The Saints beat the Ravens, and I think the Saints
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: are better than we thought they were. Yes.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: Bengals beat the Texans.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Are the Texans better than we think they are? bad
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: at defense? Now, they had to play against two really
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: good offenses. They had to play Buffalo, and they had
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to play the Bengals. They're supposed to be the best defense.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Dude, that Jamar catch was crazy.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was insane. Did you see him do the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: big penis celebration?
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Yes. He did.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know that people knew what that was.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: I didn't know when he did it live, but after
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: I got on the internet, I found out.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: After he scored, he did it like his arm.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: He went.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't see that part. I didn't see that
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: at all. That was like letting it hang out. Wow.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: You think he'll get penalized?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Funny.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Browns beat the Bucs. Who cares?
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was stupid.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs and the Colts game was too close. Yes,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: it was so close. Just won the game, Chiefs. Mahomes
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: threw for 382 and some touchdowns. And I think the
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Colts had the right idea because they were just... They
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: didn't want to give Mahomes the ball back. But they
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: scored way too early, obviously.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe they had the wrong idea.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: You think they were actually going to go for it
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: at the end there, too? He said... The head coach said, oh,
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: we were going to go for it.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, and then he changed his mind?
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Because they were looking for a blitz. Isn't that what
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: it was?
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: He said based on their defensive look.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if they came up and they were showing blitz,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: they were going to go for it, but he called timeout.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: That's when he's like, it's not there.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: It's too late. I barely remember that, but yeah.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: That was so late.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I hung over.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Kelsey looked pretty good, though.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Like, he moved pretty well for that old guy.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Did he?

  Speaker 1: All right, joining us again is John Talti from CBS
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Sports to mostly talk games. But John, I read the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: whole book. I read your book.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: It's awesome.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, thank you.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, read the whole thing. Wow, that was fast. Yeah,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I read it in three days. I could not put
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: it down. And I would just say I read it
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: and then I would not say it was good. It
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: was really amazing. So good that I texted a couple
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: of my friends and I was like, you gotta read
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the new Talti book. Like, you're my best friend. I
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: was like, the new Talti book is great. I have
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: questions though about the book. Okay, so if you haven't
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: heard us the last couple of weeks, he has a
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: book called Lane Being Lane. I highly recommend it because man,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, Thanksgiving. Just, I knew I should stop
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: And I was working over the weekend in Vegas. I
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: knew I needed to go work, but I couldn't put
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: it down. Here are my questions from the book about
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. Number one, I did not know that his
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: entire first half of his career, if not more, was
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: completely nepotism based. Like no idea. Do you think he
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: would have made it eventually because he's so smart or
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: because his dad was money and everybody felt like they
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: loved and owed money. So they gave him all these opportunities. Like,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: would he have made it anyway?
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: It's a great question. It's something that I thought a
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: lot about as well. Because like you, Bobby, before I
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: started this book, I knew that Monty had helped him out.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: But I didn't realize, as you said, everything that happens, college,
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: first jobs, they're all Monty relationships. All Monty basically kind
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: of putting his thumb on the scale to get Lane
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: the job. So there's no question that his career skyrockets
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: because of Monty's influence. All the things that I think
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: are core parts of who Lane Kiffin is in terms
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: of how we understand him, like the Raiders, the Tennessee stuff,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: like that never happens. If Monty's not getting him this
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: incredible fast start, the stuff he got so early, so young,
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: never could have happened. Could he have gotten there eventually?
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: You think so just because of how smart he is, but,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: but also I can imagine, you know, like he would
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: struggle probably early on to get some of those jobs.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: He's not necessarily going to interview amazingly, especially at that
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: stage of his life. So, it's a, it's a question
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: that I thought a lot about. Um, but I think
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: eventually one day he would have gotten there, but it
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: would have taken a lot longer. And, you know, Bobby,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: as you know, there's plenty of really talented people who
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: just never make it, um, because of other people like
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin who are getting that headstart.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: It was so much nepotism. You're right. Even from where
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: he got into college to college. So, but his money seemed,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: and I only know money from being a great defensive
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: coordinator at Tampa and then from going to Tennessee with
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: him for a bit. So, Like my Monty real life
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: knowledge was limited. I knew from just reading about him,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: but like my actual like seeing it. But he was
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: so beloved. It felt like where Lane was exactly the opposite.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Like Monty was a people person. 100%.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: And some of the Monty stories are just great. I
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: had a buddy who's also a journalist and was texting me.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: He's like, he was cracking up laughing, the kind of
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: image of Monty Kiffin just in a sauna, just ripping cigs.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: But Monty Kiffin was just like an old school guy
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: who everyone loved. And there's just an ease, or there
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: was an ease to Monty Kiffin that Lane just does
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: not have. And some of the stories that come to
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: mind for me, like him being a Knoxville, he was
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: the kind of guy who could walk into the local Chevron,
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: buy a six pack of beer, cut up with the cashier,
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: take a photo, let someone try on his Super Bowl ring.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: He just had that thing about him that Lane does
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: not have. And it's one of the things that I
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: thought was so interesting to explore, Bobby, because there's no
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: doubt that Lane, he puts his dad on a pedestal.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: He was even talking about his dad after the game
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: at Ole Miss over the weekend about how he missed
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: his dad going into a big game like this. He
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: has a portrait of his dad in his office. And
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: there's no question he is striving to be more like
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: his dad But deep down, he really is not that
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: much like his dad, at least from a personality and
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: emotional component standpoint. So it's just kind of this internal strife,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: I think, for Lane that he always wants to be
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: more like his dad because everyone loves his dad. But
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: the thing that people seem to love the most about
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: his dad does not come very easily to Lane. And
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: that's kind of an interesting dynamic for him.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: The last thing I'll say about Monty is it seemed
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: like Monty had the understanding of like a Jake or
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Logan Paul way early on. And there was no ability
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: to go viral. But him doing things like being the
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Lone Ranger at North Carolina State, or that he's going
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: to jump out of a helicopter, but he makes the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: helicopter lower down to about a foot off the ground
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: when he jumps out. Like that's Jake Paul, Logan Paul
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: type stuff now that he was doing 30, 40 years
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: ago to get attention. And I thought he was ahead
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: of the game there a bit.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Very much ahead of his time. I mean, he also
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: had like a, you know, fight with Joe Frazier and
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: which like, he was like, I'm going to stand up
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: to him. And then I think once he got face
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: to face with him, realized, he might've bit off a
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: little more than he could chew. But he was always
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: kind of this charismatic guy who had these kind of
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: somewhat harebrained themes, schemes, but they were funny and players
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: loved them and coaches loved them. And Bobby, you're 1000% right.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: Like I think if he came along 30 years later,
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: he would have gone viral all the time and his
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: recruiting would have probably boomed and all those things. And
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: that is something that I do think we see Lane
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: take away from some of Monty Kiffin as like the
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: head coach. Like, if you might've noticed for, you know,
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: at Ole Miss and they've kind of taken it with
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: them to LSU, like he's got a basketball hoop, you know,
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: on the sideline and they're, you know, dunking during games. They,
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: you know, would have a fire extinguisher that they would
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: start spraying after big plays. Like Wayne has kind of
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: his own kind of goofy stuff that he does as well.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: And it certainly felt like to me that that's kind
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: of like the Monty Kiffin of it, of like, you
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: could just imagine Monty would have all kinds of, you know,
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: wild things and, I can remember the championship belts that
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: everybody was doing. He would have had something even funnier
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: and more interesting. So Monty was just an all-time great
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: in a lot of ways. And someone that guys who
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: played for him, people who coached with him, 40, 50
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: years later, just still speak with such love and admiration
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: for the man.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Two notes that I made was, why do you think
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry didn't thank him at his Heisman speech when
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: he thanked everybody around him except for Lane, his offensive coordinator?
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Lane did not have a lot of personal relationships with people.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: um and i think sometimes uh i sometimes compare lane
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: to being a chess player and i think he's a
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: brilliant you know chess player that's how sometimes i think
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: he sees the football field and so i think sometimes
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: players might feel like they're just pieces on the board
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: you know rather than someone he has a real human
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: connection with it's something he has struggled with i think
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: throughout his career i mean bobby as you know reading
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: the book like some of those early USC days when
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: he was an assistant, the way the players talked about him,
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: not exactly the most favorable opinions of the guy, but
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: he eventually wins them over because of his brilliance and
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: offensive genius and all that kind of stuff. So I
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: think guys like Derrick Henry, who grew up a certain
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: kind of way, they want to be respected, they want
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: to be talked to a certain kind of way. And
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Wayne doesn't always excel in that aspect of things. And
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: so I remember covering that team. It stood out to
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: me in the moment when I was watching that Heisman
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: trophy and kind of reading it back again, I was like, wow, that,
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, he named everybody, but Lane Kiffin.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, everyone. Um, and so I think there was some,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: you know, some personal issues there, just not a lot of, uh,
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: maybe not feeling that he was getting as much respect
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: as maybe he should have.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Did you have to not write about some of the,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: the womanizing and hooking up because you had so much,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: because it, There were instances, and you mentioned it, and
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: it was something that happened pretty much everywhere. But I
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: have to imagine you had some great stories that you
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: did not put in the book.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, the whole book could have been that if
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: I really wanted it to be. That's not the book
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: that I wanted to write. But just everywhere, right? I
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: was in Oxford this past weekend. I was in Oxford
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: from Wednesday on. I was kind of bouncing around. But
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: even just being back in Oxford for a few days,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: and the book's already out and it's done. And people
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: are like, I still got another story for you. I mean,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: people coming up to me and telling me stories that
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: included a lot of that kind of stuff. Um, and
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: so they're everywhere. It's something that, you know, everyone has
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: their story, especially in a small town, whether it's Oxford, Knoxville,
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: other places like, and it's kind of amazing that it
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: hasn't really gotten more out there given that everyone knows,
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: but I think he's benefited from winning at a lot
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: of those places and people taking care of him and
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: cleaning things up for him and all that kind of stuff. But, Yeah,
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, there was a lot there. And, frankly, Bobby,
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: I just made the kind of determination, like, especially with, like,
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: specific women. Like, they're private people. Like, you know, they
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: don't need to get pulled into some of this stuff. But,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, there are some absolutely outlandish stories out there.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: And maybe if there's an X-rated version of this book
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: down the line, we could sneak a few more of
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: those in there.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: The Talti OnlyFans account is just him telling all the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Lane stories. I got a couple more things.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: So.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: As someone who has been told, even by my doctor,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: that there's a chance that I'm scraping the spectrum a
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: little bit because I have some extreme social, I won't
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: say anxiety, but awkwardness at times. And sometimes I have
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: an inability to connect whenever it's in human form. I
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: felt when I would read that about Lane, there were
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: times where I could feel that people would, right or wrong, go, man,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: this guy's just a massive dick. When at times he
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: just did not understand how to connect or what was
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: even socially acceptable. And the two times that come to
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: mind are, and I would ask you to classify, is
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: he being a dick or did he just not understand?
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: One would be when the restaurant in Oxford that's super
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: nice and he calls the chef and he's like, I
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: need an eight seater in five minutes and the place
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: is packed. Like, is that him just not understanding or
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: is that him being Lane Kiffin, the coach who thinks
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: he deserves to have a table at any time?
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: I put it more in the former. It's certainly possible,
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: you know, that it could be the latter. But I
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: do think Lane views the world as transactional. And, you know,
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: there's things that you do for him and he does
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: for you. And I don't think he, you know, maybe
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: viewed it that it was going to land the way
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: that it did, you know, with that restaurant. But I
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: do think that that's something that he does struggle with.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: There's some selfishness there. And of course, I'm Lane Kiffin,
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: of course, you should be able to clear out a
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: table of eight for me anytime I need. And if
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: I don't show up, oh, well, something came up for me,
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: you'll figure it out. I mean, that's kind of how
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: the chef was an owner was explaining it to me.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: And so I don't know that it was like pure maliciousness.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: I think it was more just like thoughtlessness, more than anything.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: And who knows what he was dealing with that day that,
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: you know, caused him to do that. But It was
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: not a one-off. It's kind of how it was explained
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: to me. And I think that John Kearns, the owner
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: of City Grocery and Bure and all those great restaurants
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: in Oxford, he called Lane out for it. And he
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: said that Lane seemed to appreciate being called out for it.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: So there was at least some recognition of, okay, I
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: get why I shouldn't have done that. And moving forward,
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: I'll try not to. But that was not necessarily unique
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: just to John experience. I think a lot of people
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: in Oxford felt like there was some of that happening.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: The other one, the last thing, and then we can
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: talk about what happened this weekend. But the other one was,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: in his first contract, he didn't have any private plane usage.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: And so a donor gives him his plane. And then
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Lane takes a picture inside the plane. He's like, can
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: you believe they put me on this POS? Like a
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: plane that was just voluntarily given to him. What are
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on that move?
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: I think it's kind of the same thing. I think
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: it's kind of selfishness, right? It's like there's an expectation of...
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: I'm Lane Kiffin. Of course I should have a great plane.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: And eventually he did get, you know, bigger and better stuff.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: But again, that's just, I think the thoughtlessness that people,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: they are described of, you know, wanting things his way,
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: very rarely being told no anytime he wanted something. And,
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: you know, just that feeling like I deserve this and
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: you should give it to me. Now I will say,
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: if you're going to give the most positive interpretation of
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: Lane and that specific story, you know, Lane can be
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: a funny guy and he has, you know, even said
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: to me, like, you know, people really know me, think
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: I'm really funny. And so does he think like, was
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: that him attending to make a joke and he thought
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: it would land differently of like, Hey, look at me. Instead,
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: you know, the guy who just gave it to him
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: was like, this guy's insulting me. I just gave him
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: this free thing. So it's possible that maybe he was
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: trying to make a joke. That's the best possible interpretation
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: that I can come up with. Um, but, Lane is
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: just a unique character. And I think some of the,
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: like what you were saying earlier, Bobby, I think it's
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: much easier to kind of him passing by someone in
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: the hallway and he doesn't acknowledge them. I don't think
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: that's him being a jerk. I think he's thinking about
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: something that he has to be doing that day and
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: he's just moving on from place to place. There's a
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: lot of things that I think I can easily explain
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: away as social awkwardness and not necessarily personal. Trying to
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: do anything to harm anybody or trying to be rude
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: or any of those kind of things. But the plane
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: one did kind of stand out to me of like,
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: that's a jerk move right there. And I mean, Bobby,
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: imagine I'm sure you've done things for people where you've
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: done something out of your own money or you gave
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: something to somebody. If you got a text like that,
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: how would you take that?
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not good. I sent a guy on our show
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: with my own money to Vegas because the company didn't
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: invite him, and he just complained about the time I
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: booked it. So yeah, yeah, yeah. The book, A +.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: I read the whole thing. Obviously, I read it because
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: I had all these questions. So you guys, if it
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: halfway interests you, I encourage you to read it because, John,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: great job. Fantastic.
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that. It means a lot. I know you're
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: working through the wager, I think, the last time we talked.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: So you went through it fast. I'm I'm impressed by that.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I'm quite the voracious reader, you know? Okay. How bad
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: did this one hurt for Lane against Ole Miss?
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: Man, he looked sad afterwards. It was, it was a
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: tough scene for him and I was kind of following
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: him around coming off the field. And then I went
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: into his press conference and, you know, he was, he
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: does this in general a little bit, but I mean,
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: just talking very low, almost close to mumbling a little bit,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: just like you could just feel that, that it was
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: landing heavy on him. And, And he talked about that
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: it was more emotional than I think he anticipated. And
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: he's been through it before. He'd done the kind of
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: the famous return to Tennessee and he was able to emerge,
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: you know, victorious. And so I'm sure he imagined walking out,
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: being able to troll Ole Miss fans. And, you know,
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: when it didn't happen, I think it did hit him
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: and realize that, you know, he did put a lot
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: of time and energy into the place and that they
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: are in a great place, but that, you know, to
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: lose to them, it's hurtful. It's tough. And, I do
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: think that the buildup to the game and everything that
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: came with it seemed to impact him. That was kind
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: of the impression that I got that it impacted him
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: and maybe seeing and hearing some of the things people
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: around town were saying about him, maybe hurt him or
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: impacted him more than he expected.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Pretty strong picture though, at the end of the game
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: when the Ole Miss guys are pointing at him as
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: the game is over.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: That's that, uh, that image is going to be hung
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: in houses all through the state of Mississippi. Uh, people
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: might be working on it, uh, already. Um, I mean,
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: it's just an all time moment. Um, and I was
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: kind of right on the sidelines. So they were kind
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: of running toward, um, I was opposite sides. So I
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: saw them kind of do that. And then they ran,
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: you know, toward, uh, the fans to celebrate as dancing
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: queen started blasting inside, uh, their stadium. But I mean,
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: just to have that, the wave, the point, uh, lane,
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of feeling the, the, intensity of the moment,
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: knowing he had just lost. It just, it could not
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: have worked out any better for Ole Miss, truly. And,
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: you know, I was around some of the tailgates in
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: the Grove before the game, and the one thing that
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: just kept sticking out, I had a friend who told me,
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: it's like, if football gods are real, we will win
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: this game. Like, if they're real, one time, we will
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: get this game. Like, we, the karma of it all, like,
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: one time. And so, it meant a lot to everybody
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: at Ole Miss, of course, to win that game. And
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: you saw once it was finally over once they realized
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: that LSU couldn't come back the mask kind of dropped
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: a little bit and all the it's just another game
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: fell away and you saw the way they celebrated the
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: way that Trinidad Chambliss talked about the game afterwards like
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: they wanted this one bad and to be able to
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: you know send off their former coach back to Louisiana
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: with a loss almost indescribable how much it meant to,
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: you know, not only the team, but also their fans.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Did it feel different, the environment there at Vaught-Hemingway, or
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: was it, I mean, just a hyped up SEC game?
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: It felt different. I've been fortunate to cover a lot
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: of great games in my career, and that atmosphere is
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: up there with any of them. I mean, the one
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: that sometimes I reference that stands out the most from
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: just a regular season game was 2022 Alabama-Tennessee, when Tennessee
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: finally beat Alabama after all those years of Alabama bullying them.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: And it felt like a kind of a cathartic release
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: for Tennessee fans. And I felt a lot of that,
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: you know, in Oxford. There's so much buildup to it.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, just was there from Wednesday, Thursday on. And
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: just every day, the place is getting more and more crowded,
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: more and more people coming into town to talk about it.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: And the scene was great inside the stadium. I mean,
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: it was a record crowd. They packed in as many
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: people as they possibly could. in what's one of the
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: smaller SEC stadiums. They had more fireworks than you'll see
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: probably anywhere other than New York City on July 4th.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was an unbelievable display. I think they
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: threw all the money they had at that game and
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: kind of the celebration that they were doing. But you
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: could just feel there was an energy about the place
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: that felt different. And then, you know, being on the
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: field the last, you know, six, seven minutes of the
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: game and just feeling the tension in the building and
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: then the release of, Chambliss scoring the touchdown to go ahead,
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: getting the two point conversion, getting that interception at the end.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, some of the loudest pops in a stadium
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: I've ever heard. And again, you know, it's not one
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: of the bigger stadiums, which just speaks to, I think,
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: how revved up the Ole Miss fans were for this one.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Let's bounce around real quick. Is Kentucky good or is
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M bad?
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: I think it's a mix. A & M was my
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: most overrated team coming into the season. And you had
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: to pick somebody, right? So I wasn't saying A &
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: M was bad. But I think there were questions. I mean,
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: they lost so many guys to the NFL. I was
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: probably a little shakier on Marcel Reed than maybe the
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: average person. So I had some questions. I wasn't predicting
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: a loss to Kentucky, to be fair. But I did
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: think that A & M might have some challenges. A &
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: M and Oklahoma were the two teams that I kind
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: of pointed out as the teams that I thought in
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: the SEC– that could underachieve relative to our preseason expectations.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: So A & M, I mean, listen, here's the beauty
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: and brutality of the SEC. Lane Kiffin just loses this
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: super emotional, tough game at Oxford. He's got to turn
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: around and now play a Texas A & M team
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: that just lost to Kentucky and is feeling probably pretty PO'd.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: So one of those two teams now is going to
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: start out 0-2 A & M. in the SEC. And
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: those are two teams that we expected to be in
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: the playoff at the start of the year. So that,
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: you know, one of them is going to get off
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: to a really rough start. So that's concerning for A &
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: M for sure. Kentucky, I think is better than, you know,
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: maybe we expected. They invested a lot in the offensive
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: line this off season, which thought, you know, maybe that
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: could help them a bit, be a little bit better
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: than what Kentucky was at the end of Mark Stubbs.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Will Stein, of course, you know, one of the better
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: offensive coordinators in the country when he was at Oregon.
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: And so, They played Bama super tough for a half
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: a week ago. They faded big time down the stretch,
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: but able to beat A & M. It feels like
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: Kentucky has some momentum. Just from what I'm seeing so far,
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: this is potentially a really strong top-to-bottom SEC. If you've
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: got teams like Kentucky who can beat a top-25 team,
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: you've got Mississippi State 3-0. People thought they might win
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: three or four games, Period. They're already at 3-0. If
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: the quote-unquote bottom of the SEC is already doing that,
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: it's just going to be an absolute gauntlet the rest
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: of the way for some of these top teams.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: If Arkansas were to win out, would they be national champions?
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: What percentage would you put of that happening.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: Right now, Bobby?
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Can it be negative? Can we go negative? I'm hurting, John.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I'm hurting. This is the worst of my life. This
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: is the absolute worst of my life.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: I actually wanted to ask you about this. You have
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: your finger on that pulse better than anybody, including me.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: Where is the fan base at right now with Ryan Silverfield?
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: Is it more we're out on Hunter and something needs
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: to happen there, or are they already like, I'm only
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: a couple games in, but I already know Ryan's not
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: the guy? Because you and I have talked about Ryan's
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: a nice guy. I think he's a good coach, but
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: people seem to be freaking out, but you know it
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: better than I do.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I think everybody wants your check out. And some people
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: want Eurocheck out and everybody else. But I think people
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: are just looking for someone to be mad at because
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: it is so poor. But it is not Silverfield's fault.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Will we not win because of Silverfield? Well, we will
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: know that answer in possibly two seasons, quicker than it
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: used to be. We used to give four. Now we
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: got money involved. We'll give two. It's not Silverfield's fault.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: There were some things that he was promised he did
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: not get. I know that for a fact. We also
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: are the least or second depending on what source you
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: look at, spending team in the SEC, you're just not
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: going to win. So it eventually could be Silverfield's fault,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: but halfway intelligent fans know you can't blame that on
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: him right now. Maybe in two years, yes. But I
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: also personally do not like our athletic director, and neither
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: do a lot of other donors, for how just, I
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: would say, completely unwarm he is towards donors. And so
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of us have gone, hey, if it's not
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: for somebody else, we'd have probably limited our money. I
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: think most people want to see the athletic director gone.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: But even then, I think it's partially because it's a culture.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: It's a decade. But I think it's above him a
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: little too. But it's not Silverfield's fault, but it is
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: the darkest it's ever been in my entire life. That's rough.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: And I think, Bobby, to your point, I think there's
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: this great, and you know this, obviously, but there's this
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: great misperception that Arkansas has all this money because of
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: some of the big boldface names that we associate, you know,
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: with Arkansas. And just because you have very rich people
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: who maybe graduated from Arkansas or have companies based in
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: Arkansas does not mean that they're giving massive amounts of
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: money to NIL and other things. You know, I went
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: to Maryland, Sergey Brin went there, guess what, he's not
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: donating $ 10 million to the NIL fund, right? So like,
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: just because you have rich people doesn't mean that they're
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: giving and I think just because of like some of those, again,
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: those really famous names that we all know, people just
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: assume that they have like the biggest arsenal out of anybody.
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: And it's just not the case. There is not a
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: Phil Knight right now who's just like, I will do
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: everything I can to make Arkansas a national championship team.
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: And that's something that's probably going to have to change
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: if they're going to want to be more competitive. Because
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: as you noted, like they are at the bottom, them
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: and Mississippi State, maybe a couple others, you know, in
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: terms of spending this year and they're probably at least
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: $ 20 million off of the top of the SEC, and
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: you can hope that your coach can find that edge
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: X's and O's wise, but that's a pretty massive gap
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: from a financial standpoint, and at a certain point, you
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: play out, and the win-loss record plays out based on
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: some of your spending, and you have to kind of
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: adjust your expectations relative to that.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of the rich of Arkansas, especially the Walmarts, etc.,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: even the Jerry Jones, but they want to put their
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: names on buildings. So they do give, but they don't
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: care about giving for one year of players because that
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: money just goes away. They'd rather give millions and build
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: something that lasts and has an impact and has their
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: name on it for two decades more so than let's
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: throw some monies at a defensive tackle or so. But yeah, anyway,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: enough about me. Well, look, the book, I can't say
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: it enough. I, I ate it up. It was fantastic
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: and congratulations. And I hope people are loving it. And, um, Yeah,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: it's cool you get to be at the game. I
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: had to watch it on my phone from backstage in
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and luckily I got to watch the entire
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: second half. I thought LSU was going to come back
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: and win it just because that's what usually happens, and
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: I thought Lane was going to get his day. I
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: was happy to see he didn't. I was Ole Miss
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: for a night. For one night only, I was Ole Miss. So, hey, John,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: thanks for spending time with us, and everybody read the
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: book and also read John's work as well. But, John,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: thank you, and we'll talk to you again soon.
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: Sounds good. Appreciate it, Bobby.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks, John. All right, before we go, what's happening with
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: that cow you guys bought?
• 58:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Eddie.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Didn't you put your money into?
• 58:14
  Speaker 6: I didn't. I did, yeah. I did, and then a friend,
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: so it was us three.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: How much money did you spend on the cow?
• 58:21
  Speaker 6: What was it, $ 250?
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: I think $ 300 each. $ 300?
• 58:24
  Speaker 6: Where's the cow?
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: February. February is when the cow's ready to be. Distributed.
• 58:29
  Speaker 6: Have you gotten any updates?
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: No, zero. And that reminds me, I'll send a text
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: out and be like, how's the cow? Do you guys
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: want a picture? I'm sure we can get a picture
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: of the cow.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I can find a picture of a cow, too,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: if you just want a picture.
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: Of a cow.
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: He actually invited me to the farm. He's like, you
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: should come over and just see the farm. And I'm like, man,
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I actually want to meet the cow.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, I wouldn't want to meet the cow.
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: I don't want to meet the cow.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: No way.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Meet the cow, you're going to murder and eat?
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: Unless I just go to the farm and just kind of,
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: don't tell me which one it is, and I'll just
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: kind of.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Then it could be any of them. I know. It
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: could be all of them.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: No, dude, for your question, it's coming.
• 59:03
  Speaker 6: I was just thinking about it the other day. I
• 59:04
  Speaker 6: was like, dang, I forgot about the cow. That was, what,
• 59:08
  Speaker 6: six months ago?
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, and the thing I've been... thinking about is I
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: need a refrigerator before it comes. Because I don't have
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: a freezer. I don't have room for all that meat.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: We got until February.
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we got time.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's your update.
• 59:19
