0:05
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
0:09
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
0:12
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
0:15
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
0:18
Speaker 1: Wow.
0:18

0:35

0:39
Speaker 3: of November. Rivalry weekend continuing in college football today, watched
0:47
Speaker 3: what I watched out with Texas Texas A and M
0:49
Speaker 3: watched a little bit of that game on Friday, the
0:54
Speaker 3: Mississippi Mississippi Steak and the Egg Bowl.
0:58
Speaker 1: Watched that. In the NFL, we'll start with the NF.
1:02
Speaker 3: Let's get be a very sporty fifth hour podcast, A
1:05
Speaker 3: very sporty fifth hour podcast. We've got on this one,
1:09
Speaker 3: disco Hulkemania, and ain't no fun if the.
1:13
Speaker 1: Homies can't have none.
1:16
Speaker 3: And we'll combine all of these things together, and we
1:19
Speaker 3: are going to meditate, because what else are you supposed
1:23
Speaker 3: to do on a Saturday, But we'll start with this
1:26
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia, PA, the Delaware Valley, the et A, G
1:33
Speaker 3: L E S.
1:34
Speaker 1: Eagles su c K suck Suck suck.
1:38
Speaker 3: Yes, they got smashed by the Chicago Bears.
1:43
Speaker 1: Stump Bears.
1:44
Speaker 3: Bears getting it done yesterday on Black Friday, a twenty
1:49
Speaker 3: four to fifteen final, as Chicago converting almost sixty percent
1:56
Speaker 3: of their third down plays, They were two for three
1:59
Speaker 3: in the red zone, and they win a game where
2:02
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams was terrible because they had multiple running backs
2:06
Speaker 3: that went over one hundred and twenty five yards. It
2:09
Speaker 3: was like a throwback for the Bears. As Caleb Williams
2:12
Speaker 3: was terrible. It didn't matter. The Bears won anyway in
2:16
Speaker 3: dominating fashion. Their defense, which had been so bad against
2:21
Speaker 3: the run, held Sequon Barkley down. Of course, he only
2:24
Speaker 3: had thirteen attempts in that game. But don't bury the lead.
2:27
Speaker 3: My man won't bear the lead. So the Eagles coach
2:30
Speaker 3: Nick Sirianni. Did you see what he said after the game? No? Okay,
2:35
Speaker 3: So Sirianni said that while they will evaluate everything in Philadelphia,
2:41
Speaker 3: he will be staying with offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo as
2:46
Speaker 3: the play caller, Sirianni saying, quote, this is the greatest
2:50
Speaker 3: team sport there is and it is never about one person.
2:54
Speaker 1: Close quote. So that is a good jumping off point.
2:57
Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question, can you explain why Nick
3:02
Speaker 3: Sirianni refused to consider even the thought of changing the
3:09
Speaker 3: Eagles play caller?
3:10
Speaker 1: So on this one, it's rather simple, right.
3:13
Speaker 3: This is like saying, hey, listen, we really got to
3:16
Speaker 3: clean the house. I want to clean the entire house. Okay,
3:18
Speaker 3: you want to clean the entire house. That's great, let's
3:19
Speaker 3: clean the entire house. Okay, we're gonna do it, but
3:22
Speaker 3: we're not touching the kitchen, the bathroom or the living room.
3:26
Speaker 3: We don't want to do that. But what you said
3:28
Speaker 3: you wanted to clean the entire house, It's like, well
3:30
Speaker 3: that's kind of important.
3:31
Speaker 1: Well, I just don't want to do it. What are
3:32
Speaker 1: we even doing? This is football spin class, is what
3:36
Speaker 1: it is.
3:37
Speaker 3: Everything's on the table, Every possibility is on the table
3:41
Speaker 3: in Philly except the one thing, the one thing that
3:46
Speaker 3: clearly needs to actually be on the table, which makes this,
3:51
Speaker 3: to use one of our classic mallarisms, it's coach speak.
3:55
Speaker 3: Cotton candy like you're get in the summer at the
3:58
Speaker 3: State Fair, get that cotton candy and it looks.
4:01
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's a big. Look at that, what a
4:03
Speaker 1: deal like?
4:04
Speaker 3: And then you're like, well, it's just spung sugar and
4:06
Speaker 3: it looks big, but there's no substance. Philadelphia has been
4:11
Speaker 3: outscored forty eight to fifteen in the last six quarters
4:16
Speaker 3: since they blew that twenty one to nothing lead to
4:19
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys. They got thrown into the wood chipper
4:22
Speaker 3: by the Bears, of all things, the Chicago Bears, who
4:26
Speaker 3: are now nine to three on the season, although most
4:30
Speaker 3: of those wins have been nail biers, not this game
4:34
Speaker 3: on Black Friday. And now Nick Sirianni's got that everything's fine,
4:40
Speaker 3: don't worry. He's got that look on his face. He's
4:44
Speaker 3: got that kind of grin thing going on, like he's
4:46
Speaker 3: hosting HGTV and advice from the upper balcony. Here, buddy,
4:53
Speaker 3: but it bety. This ain't a renovation show. It's not
4:57
Speaker 3: we're not renovating. We're doing the demo, is what we're doing.
5:00
Speaker 3: The Bears ran the ball like they had resurrected Walter
5:04
Speaker 3: Payton Sweetness in a secret basement lab somewhere somewhere, far
5:11
Speaker 3: far away. Forty seven carries two hundred and eighty one
5:16
Speaker 3: yards for the Chicago Bears, a couple of rushing touchdowns.
5:19
Speaker 3: They had two guys go over one hundred and twenty
5:23
Speaker 3: five yards, averaging six yards per rush. That is not
5:27
Speaker 3: a defensive front in Philly. That was an open toll booth.
5:33
Speaker 3: Good luck. You couldn't You couldn't have planned it worse
5:37
Speaker 3: for the Philadelphia defense in this game because Camvib Williams
5:40
Speaker 3: was not very good. He completed less than fifty percent
5:43
Speaker 3: of his passes, he had an interception in the game.
5:47
Speaker 1: It was not very good and it didn't matter.
5:50
Speaker 3: Because the Eagles defensively allowed the Chicago Bears to run
5:55
Speaker 3: it right down their throat and it was ridiculous. You
5:58
Speaker 3: could have driven the Malard Moobe two point zero through
6:01
Speaker 3: those running lanes without slowing down. And then you also
6:05
Speaker 3: have Jalen Hurts for Philadelphia right now, He's not Superman.
6:09
Speaker 3: He's Clark Kent without the glasses, and he's just nothing special.
6:13
Speaker 1: He's just a dude, not the dude. He's just a dude.
6:18
Speaker 3: Your garden variety mortal quarterback, quarterbacking with practice squad results
6:24
Speaker 3: right now for Jalen Hurts, in fact, what's my evidence.
6:28
Speaker 3: Let's go last four games. Jalen Hurts has averaged six
6:31
Speaker 3: and a half yards per past seven is average. He's
6:34
Speaker 3: below average, completing fifty nine percent of his passes that
6:38
Speaker 3: ain't good, has a passer rating of eighty five. That's
6:42
Speaker 3: not elite. That's Marriott Lobby is what that is. You're
6:45
Speaker 3: in the Marriott Lobby. Quarterback club is what you are.
6:49
Speaker 3: So it's is it panic at the disco? It's panic
6:52
Speaker 3: at the Batulo disco. The offensive coordinator and you know
6:56
Speaker 3: they had high hopes. They had high hopes and now
6:59
Speaker 3: they're living the death of a Bachelor champion is what
7:03
Speaker 3: they're doing here. And Nick Siriani another example. This guy
7:07
Speaker 3: is not leading his team. He's riding shotgun with no GPS.
7:13
Speaker 3: He's a show pony who needs a perfect weather situation
7:17
Speaker 3: to succeed. And now I want to say perfect weather,
7:20
Speaker 3: I mean everything's gonna be right, relatively healthy, getting along
7:24
Speaker 3: with each other. You throw a thunderstorm in there, right,
7:28
Speaker 3: you throw a thunderstorm in there. And Nick Siriani is
7:32
Speaker 3: the guy hiding behind the vending machine. He's sucking his thumb,
7:36
Speaker 3: is what he's doing. And you know what this is.
7:39
Speaker 3: This is it's the Malard Milk Carton moment, is what
7:42
Speaker 3: it is. You look at the Eagles offense, and we've
7:45
Speaker 3: seen them a lot. They're the defending, reigning champion and
7:48
Speaker 3: all that. But you look at the Eagles offense, you say,
7:51
Speaker 3: have you seen this unit?
7:52
Speaker 1: The last last time we saw them really clicking.
7:57
Speaker 3: Was Week eight? Was Week eight, And reward has been
8:02
Speaker 3: offered if you find the Eagles offense now. Nick Sirianni
8:05
Speaker 3: says they're evaluating everything. But again, for those of you
8:10
Speaker 3: in the back of the room that are a little late,
8:12
Speaker 3: guess what if he doesn't start evaluating Sirianni the play calling,
8:17
Speaker 3: the owner will start evaluating him. So this is not
8:22
Speaker 3: fly Egles fly on the road to Victor Ree anymore.
8:27
Speaker 1: It's not that.
8:28
Speaker 3: It's this is fry egles fry. Because you can't handle
8:34
Speaker 3: success the Eagles fan base booing them and emptying out
8:39
Speaker 3: all those people in Philadelphia that mocked the Dodger fans
8:42
Speaker 3: for leaving early. That stadium was empty by the time
8:45
Speaker 3: Al Michaels signed off on that broadcast, it was empty.
8:51
Speaker 3: With the Capitol League now flipping the page. Here Part
8:55
Speaker 3: two of this.
8:56
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour Malor monologue.
9:00
Speaker 3: Extensive edition of The Fifth Hour with Me and Danny
9:02
Speaker 3: g So. After the Bears upset the Eagles in convincing
9:06
Speaker 3: fashion and it was not really all that close. The
9:10
Speaker 3: Bears were in control late in the game, and so
9:13
Speaker 3: the Eagles go down, we talked about what's going on
9:16
Speaker 3: with Nick Siohanni. But on the side of the Bears
9:20
Speaker 3: first year coach Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson performing one of
9:24
Speaker 3: his electrifying locker room hype speeches become a weekly ritual,
9:30
Speaker 3: always recorded for social media, and it was one of
9:33
Speaker 3: those moments that leaves you wondering how he has a voice. Afterwards,
9:39
Speaker 3: but he added a different twist, a little funny twist
9:43
Speaker 3: to this week. I don't know if you saw it
9:44
Speaker 3: or not, when as he was giving his postgame speech,
9:52
Speaker 3: he ripped off his shirt in what seemed to be a.
9:57
Speaker 1: First for the team.
9:58
Speaker 3: I don't recall my Ditka ever doing that back in
10:01
Speaker 3: the day, or any of the other Bears coaches we've had.
10:05
Speaker 3: So Indeed, as Ben Johnson was working up to a lather,
10:11
Speaker 3: get himself worked into a tizzy, he did indeed pull
10:15
Speaker 3: his shirt over his head.
10:17
Speaker 1: The players around him are opted.
10:19
Speaker 3: The locker room was howling, excited cheers and streams. The
10:25
Speaker 3: bear chested coach right in the middle of the locker
10:27
Speaker 3: room and.
10:29
Speaker 1: You look at that groove and it was like, oh man.
10:32
Speaker 3: And then came the standard good, better, best rallying cry
10:36
Speaker 3: from Ben Johnson and just a little less dressed than
10:41
Speaker 3: he normally is. Now that postgame reaction has been well
10:45
Speaker 3: dissected since the Bears game ended with the Eagles. I
10:50
Speaker 3: know Lucky Tony very excited. The Bears are kicking some
10:53
Speaker 3: ass right now. So the fact that the Bears coach
10:57
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson decided to become a Chippendale's dancer, that is
11:00
Speaker 3: a good jumping off point. So let us discuss the question.
11:04
Speaker 3: This actually came from p one Mike who emailed me
11:09
Speaker 3: late last night and Mike said, hey, what about this?
11:12
Speaker 3: And his question was, did the Chicago coach Ben Johnson
11:17
Speaker 3: jinks the Bears season with his shirt off celebration? I
11:24
Speaker 3: have a satin night john On all right, So to
11:28
Speaker 3: say that the Bears jinx their entire season because Ben
11:31
Speaker 3: Johnson decided that he wanted to take his shirt off.
11:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go no way on that. Absolutely not. This
11:37
Speaker 1: is not a curse. It is not. In fact, I
11:40
Speaker 1: would argue that it.
11:42
Speaker 3: Is civic service for the good people of Chicago. You
11:46
Speaker 3: don't jinx the season when you're getting a free hot dog.
11:49
Speaker 3: And we've learned since that game ended yesterday that the
11:52
Speaker 3: mom and pop Wiener's Circle shop to restaurant Wiener Circle
11:56
Speaker 3: in Chicago, it's on the north side, knocked the part
12:00
Speaker 3: of town and they literally promised three winners if Ben
12:05
Speaker 3: Johnson went shirtless, and he's now gone shirtless. So that's
12:09
Speaker 3: not a curse. That is public charity is what that is.
12:14
Speaker 3: It's community outreach. That's the Windy City stimulus package. So again,
12:19
Speaker 3: you don't jinx a season, you ignite this season. This
12:23
Speaker 3: was hul Comania. It was hull Comania territory, the late
12:28
Speaker 3: great Hall Cogan, the guy ripped the shirt the Bears
12:31
Speaker 3: coach like he was about to go tag team with
12:34
Speaker 3: macho man and slide into a slim gym guy and
12:39
Speaker 3: the only thing missing was the right index finger to
12:43
Speaker 3: the ear, the classic Hull Cogan.
12:44
Speaker 1: I can't hear you gesture.
12:48
Speaker 3: So if you want superstition and you want karma and
12:52
Speaker 3: all that. That's fine. I'm not against those things. They
12:55
Speaker 3: make for good talk radio. You win football games, though,
12:59
Speaker 3: and this big a movement, Capital M becomes a movement,
13:06
Speaker 3: Capital M energy, full frontal commitment, and Johnson is all
13:13
Speaker 3: of that.
13:13
Speaker 1: He's all of that.
13:15
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson's got this good, better, best speech which has
13:19
Speaker 3: turned into a bit of a cultural ritual in the
13:23
Speaker 3: football world. It came, we are told, from his high
13:27
Speaker 3: school days at AC Reynolds, and now the Bears at
13:31
Speaker 3: the pro.
13:32
Speaker 1: Level are living it.
13:34
Speaker 3: It's kind of like their pledge of allegiance good, better, best,
13:38
Speaker 3: never let it rest. They're chanting it like they're about
13:42
Speaker 3: to stampede, similar to the wildebeast in the Lion King.
13:48
Speaker 3: And so it's working. They're hitting on all cylinders. And
13:53
Speaker 3: when the Bears win, like they did yesterday on Black Friday,
13:56
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson conducts that speech like he he's a conductor
14:00
Speaker 3: at the Chicago Symphony. And when they lose, he risked
14:05
Speaker 3: becoming a viral me. Remember the Chargers coach Brandon Staley
14:08
Speaker 3: was doing yoga stretches before kickoff and they recorded it
14:13
Speaker 3: and Brian my branded Staley rather has really not gotten
14:17
Speaker 3: any any serious interest as a head coach because of that.
14:22
Speaker 3: And there's a thin line between motivation and mockery. They
14:27
Speaker 3: both start with M and O and after that they go.
14:31
Speaker 1: Their separate ways.
14:32
Speaker 3: And so Ben Johnson's walking walking this motivation and mockery
14:38
Speaker 3: like it's a tightrope and he's the tightrope artist over Lake,
14:42
Speaker 3: Michigan in a blizzard. So at this moment, this was
14:49
Speaker 3: I file this one in the basket. If you look
14:50
Speaker 3: at the basket, what was in the basket? If you
14:52
Speaker 3: look at the basket, I file this one in the
14:54
Speaker 3: shirtless swagger basket.
14:58
Speaker 1: This was blue.
14:59
Speaker 3: Collar Glenn, blue collar glamour. This was the full embodiment
15:04
Speaker 3: of every Chicago construction worker who eats a beef sandwich
15:08
Speaker 3: at seven in the morning and then for lunch, but
15:12
Speaker 3: they have lunch at like ten thirty. They have the
15:14
Speaker 3: deep dish Chicago pizza and then they have dessert. They
15:17
Speaker 3: have that great popcorn, which tree in Chicago knows all about.
15:21
Speaker 3: That's the move here. So listen, this was what the
15:28
Speaker 3: Bears want to become. Was it a little cheesy, a
15:31
Speaker 3: little corny shure, But it's fun. They're winning, And as
15:36
Speaker 3: long as you're winning, the whole stadium is going to
15:38
Speaker 3: get bear chested in January at Soldier Field, it'll.
15:42
Speaker 1: Be the Lambeau meets Marty Gras scene.
15:46
Speaker 3: Frostbite is the free giveaway meets euphoria, which is also
15:50
Speaker 3: a giveaway should you actually get into the stadium. So
15:53
Speaker 3: this guy is a man of the people, man of
15:57
Speaker 3: the people. He's not coaching football leading a revolution of
16:02
Speaker 3: pork passion and pigskin.
16:05
Speaker 1: That's PPP.
16:06
Speaker 3: And you don't jinx your season for Michael and the rest.
16:10
Speaker 1: Of you think, oh my god, I can't believe it.
16:12
Speaker 3: Did You don't jinx your season when the team's laughing,
16:15
Speaker 3: bonding and celebray good times.
16:19
Speaker 1: They're celebrating good times. You don't ruin the magic when.
16:22
Speaker 3: You're leaning in to the abracadabra, the hocus pocus. That
16:27
Speaker 3: locker room was not tense. It was alive with energy.
16:32
Speaker 3: It was alive with energy, and players respond to that.
16:35
Speaker 3: And it's not analytics, And no, you shouldn't have done that.
16:39
Speaker 3: You shouldn't have played that guy because of the analytics.
16:41
Speaker 3: This is humans being bros, humans being bros. And let's
16:44
Speaker 3: be real, Chicago has not had this kind of charisma.
16:49
Speaker 3: I know they got to the Super Bowl with the
16:50
Speaker 3: Rex Grossman, but they've not had this kind of suit
16:53
Speaker 3: of charisma since Mike Ditka removed his his with two
17:00
Speaker 3: fingers in the old stop at on National TV. And
17:05
Speaker 3: that is personality football. We just saw the moment in
17:09
Speaker 3: which the Bears coach Ben Johnson, good old Ben Johnson,
17:15
Speaker 3: became an internet legend. Johnson is throwing gasoline on the bonfire.
17:21
Speaker 3: And if the fire gets too big, okay, fine, you
17:26
Speaker 3: don't want it to get too big. It shouldn't get
17:28
Speaker 3: too big. Better to burn out, right than fade away
17:32
Speaker 3: you want to burn out, and worst case scenarios like hey, hey,
17:37
Speaker 3: at least you got a free hot dog. At least
17:39
Speaker 3: she got a free hot dog. Congratulations, We're happy for you.
17:43
Speaker 3: So Ben Johnson trying to feed Chicago one shirtless video
17:47
Speaker 3: clip at a time.
17:48
Speaker 1: That's it, all right.
17:49
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, we head back to college football. Old Miss head
17:54
Speaker 3: coach Lane Kiffen expected to make a decision later today.
17:59
Speaker 3: He confronted a reporter someone named Ben not me, Ben Garrett,
18:05
Speaker 3: not Ben Gay, Ben Garrett of something called the Old
18:10
Speaker 3: Miss Spirit, which sounds like it's a riveting magazine newspaper.
18:16
Speaker 1: All that stuff. So it's very very very interesting.
18:18
Speaker 3: Anyway, So Lane Keivin confronted this guy regarding some offensive
18:24
Speaker 3: remarks made on his podcast amid the rumors that Lane
18:28
Speaker 3: Kivin's going to leave Oxford for Baton Rouge. The moment
18:34
Speaker 3: happened just minutes after Old Miss had closed its regular
18:39
Speaker 3: season with a thirty eight nineteen nineteen victory over Mississippi
18:45
Speaker 3: State the Egg Bowl. The game, there was a fight
18:48
Speaker 3: in the thing and right there boom and so there
18:51
Speaker 3: are they locked in? Are they?
18:53
Speaker 1: Are they a playoff team? I don't know.
18:54
Speaker 3: The Rebels, who were seventh in the college football playoff
18:59
Speaker 3: ranking are now eleven and one. Now later today, at
19:02
Speaker 3: some point, probably earlier in the day than late, Lane
19:05
Speaker 3: Kiffin is going to take out the trash a little
19:07
Speaker 3: Saturday news conference and the expectation is that Lane will
19:11
Speaker 3: take advantage of that escape portal and he gone, He's
19:14
Speaker 3: out of here, see you later, bye bye. So that
19:17
Speaker 3: is a good jumping off point. Everyone's japping about this.
19:20
Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question. Here's the question. What stood
19:25
Speaker 3: out to you about Lane Kiffin's hulla balloo with the.
19:32
Speaker 1: Old Miss reporter?
19:33
Speaker 3: All of this over social media presence and whatnot. So
19:38
Speaker 3: the question here is what stood out to you about
19:44
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin's hulla balloo with the the Old Miss Reporter.
19:49
Speaker 3: So we've got ourselves here a real Southern fried soap opera,
19:55
Speaker 3: and this is one that did not come with commercial breaks.
20:00
Speaker 3: All miss regular season did not end when the clock
20:04
Speaker 3: hit zero zero zero zero to infinity and beyond, and
20:10
Speaker 3: so you've got you've got this back and forth thing
20:14
Speaker 3: going on.
20:14
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's freaking great.
20:17
Speaker 3: I absolutely love it. It is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful right there.
20:25
Speaker 3: I mean the regular season, as we say, it's over
20:28
Speaker 3: for Old Miss. But this is this is cinema. You
20:30
Speaker 3: got Lane Kiffin there, visor on white hoodie, surrounded by
20:35
Speaker 3: five fully uniformed Mississippi State troopers like he was John Gottie,
20:42
Speaker 3: and he spotted the reporter and decided, you know what,
20:44
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be mean, Gene Oakland, I'm gonna be Bobby
20:47
Speaker 3: the Marain Heat and I'm gonna do a wrestling promo
20:50
Speaker 3: from back in the day. And as the reporter, this
20:53
Speaker 3: guy Ben Garrett from something called The Old Miss Spirit.
20:58
Speaker 3: We're not sure what that is, but the kid Froz
21:00
Speaker 3: and I've actually been there. I relate to this story
21:02
Speaker 3: because I've had this happen to me where I've gotten
21:04
Speaker 3: confronted and when you're a young enough guy, you don't
21:07
Speaker 3: really know what to do. You're like, oh oh oh boy,
21:11
Speaker 3: uh oh yeah. So yet you have that And he
21:16
Speaker 3: did freeze like he was this guy Ben Garrett, the
21:19
Speaker 3: reporter froze like he was a wood frog in winter
21:23
Speaker 3: hibernation mode, shut down sequence, initiated all that stuff, and
21:27
Speaker 3: so you respart. No fight, no pushback, no quick thinking,
21:32
Speaker 3: just a lot of puddles, a lot of puddles out
21:35
Speaker 3: there for Lane Kiffin. And then, like so many do today,
21:40
Speaker 3: the reporter ran not to the tunnel. He didn't run
21:44
Speaker 3: to try to find a number to apologize to.
21:48
Speaker 1: The so and so.
21:49
Speaker 2: No.
21:50
Speaker 3: What sparked this a line from this guy's podcast about
21:54
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin. The guy he gets does some podcasts and said,
21:58
Speaker 3: can't turn a hoe into a housewife. How hose rather
22:03
Speaker 3: hose don't act right?
22:05
Speaker 1: So pece a while. Lane was offended by this. But
22:08
Speaker 1: here's the thing.
22:09
Speaker 3: Now, it's not just any kind of jabber. That is
22:12
Speaker 3: a direct lyric from Snoop Doggy Dog and Nate dogg
22:17
Speaker 3: the classic West Coast anthem. Ain't no fun if the
22:21
Speaker 3: homies can't have none. So there is that, uh. And
22:25
Speaker 3: it was a nineties staple, is what it was. But
22:29
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffen heard it differently. Good old Lane, stay eating y'all. Lane,
22:33
Speaker 3: he heard it differently. He got some word from someone
22:37
Speaker 3: that they called him a ho. And moments after the
22:41
Speaker 3: egg Bowl win, there and some are saying the biggest
22:46
Speaker 3: egg Bowl win over arrival in their rivalry game in
22:51
Speaker 3: Old Miss history. So Lane storms right to the locker
22:56
Speaker 3: room and then he got distracted and says, you know,
23:00
Speaker 3: want to walk in here and call me a hoe, pointing.
23:03
Speaker 1: Towards the locker room. We'll see how it goes.
23:06
Speaker 3: And in that cartoon bubble above my head, I stood
23:09
Speaker 3: up and I applauded again. Content that is cinema is
23:14
Speaker 3: what that is, and it's going to be old news.
23:16
Speaker 3: The reason I brought this up and I brought up
23:18
Speaker 3: the Friday NFL game is one of the advantags you
23:22
Speaker 3: have doing a podcast every day is you don't have
23:25
Speaker 3: to worry about trying to squeeze everything in and because
23:28
Speaker 3: every day is unique, every day is unique. But we
23:31
Speaker 3: have a unique setup here where we are able to
23:36
Speaker 3: give you content that other shows cannot.
23:39
Speaker 1: Give you cannot give you. It's just just the way
23:42
Speaker 1: it is.
23:42
Speaker 3: And so we put this thing together here on the
23:44
Speaker 3: fifth hour to embrace this because we know we're not
23:48
Speaker 3: going to be able to really enjoy it with other
23:50
Speaker 3: things going on over the course of the weekend. But
23:53
Speaker 3: by confronting the reporter, keep just again keeping the real.
23:56
Speaker 3: By confronting the reporter, Lane Kiffn did not just respond,
24:01
Speaker 3: He gave that fledgling podcast a free Times Square, billboard,
24:07
Speaker 3: National Audio, Advertising and television, Old school Media, all those
24:12
Speaker 3: big media companies. Before the show, maybe seventeen to twenty
24:17
Speaker 3: people had heard of the podcast. One of them was
24:21
Speaker 3: probably the host mom, another was a cousin, two others
24:26
Speaker 3: were third cousins. And then there was a stray raccoon
24:29
Speaker 3: that was quietly chewing through some.
24:31
Speaker 1: Kind of pipe. I don't know what that was. And
24:34
Speaker 1: that is the new Moxie two point zero.
24:37
Speaker 3: So thanks to Lane again for going professional wrestling at
24:40
Speaker 3: the podium. This kid's just been given billboard placement in
24:46
Speaker 3: midtown Manhattan without having to pay a nickel or a dime,
24:49
Speaker 3: not a dimeback, not a dime and that's the irony.
24:52
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin meant to bury the reporter.
24:56
Speaker 3: Instead, he marked it, marketed him, voted him, and turned
25:01
Speaker 3: him into a trending topic. He did, in the words
25:06
Speaker 3: of a disgraced infomercial ceo, there is no such thing
25:11
Speaker 3: as bad publicity, just billboards in Times Square you did
25:16
Speaker 3: not save to pay for.
25:19
Speaker 1: So someone clearly.
25:20
Speaker 3: Has an axe to grind with Lane Kiff and has
25:24
Speaker 3: been a lot of hatchet jobs on Lane, a lot
25:27
Speaker 3: of body blow, body blow, body blow, body blow and
25:30
Speaker 3: all that stuff. So listen, Lane, he is what his
25:34
Speaker 3: resume says he is. You look at his Wikipedia page
25:37
Speaker 3: and it's it's not great.
25:40
Speaker 1: It's it's not great. And it's like, you.
25:42
Speaker 3: Know, there's no such thing as bad publicity, just billboards,
25:46
Speaker 3: as we said, And and someone clearly whispered it into
25:51
Speaker 3: the year. And I don't know what what was whispberd,
25:54
Speaker 3: but one of those Hey, hey, Lane, man, did you
25:58
Speaker 3: hear what they said?
26:00
Speaker 1: You did you hear?
26:01
Speaker 2: Why?
26:01
Speaker 1: I No, I didn't hear what they said about me.
26:03
Speaker 1: Well I'll wait till you hear this.
26:04
Speaker 3: And then then Lane kiffn lifelong football gypsy, by the way,
26:10
Speaker 3: notorious program hopper hoppity hop being no mad with a
26:14
Speaker 3: headset and he's got a losing memory. It'll be close
26:19
Speaker 3: to home. Lane Kiffin allergic to staying put. It's another
26:23
Speaker 3: thing you learned about Alane Kiffin coach team. There's a
26:26
Speaker 3: lot of movement, and he bails like a tenant who
26:30
Speaker 3: found out that rent is going up, and so you
26:33
Speaker 3: just kind of vacate the premises.
26:35
Speaker 1: And that's the reputation.
26:36
Speaker 3: Now as far as the whole remark as we can
26:40
Speaker 3: break that down, that is just gasoline thrown on a
26:44
Speaker 3: coaching fire that's already been burning for twenty years. Fresno State,
26:50
Speaker 3: USC Alabama a FAU now old miss and next a
26:57
Speaker 3: mystery team.
26:58
Speaker 1: We love the mystery team. We live for the mystery team.
27:03
Speaker 1: The coaching carousel goes round and round and round and
27:05
Speaker 1: round and round and round and around.
27:07
Speaker 3: And will they find a job when it all stops?
27:11
Speaker 1: All stops?
27:13
Speaker 3: And we'll see the coaching carousel in its natural habitat.
27:20
Speaker 3: It's like a dessert to a lizard. It's just lizards love.
27:26
Speaker 3: They love desserts, they do. But here's the kicker. This
27:30
Speaker 3: whole moment tells you something about college football. If you
27:35
Speaker 3: didn't already know in modern times, coaches have egos the size.
27:40
Speaker 1: Of SEC stadiums. All right.
27:43
Speaker 3: The reporters, though, they do need to do better. That
27:46
Speaker 3: reporter should have answered back to Lane Kiffen with one
27:50
Speaker 3: line and one line only, don't hate the player, Lane
27:54
Speaker 3: gotta hate the game. That would have been a walk off,
27:58
Speaker 3: a mic drop, that's the SoundBite for social media. Instead
28:05
Speaker 3: he said nothing. And so what we did is we
28:08
Speaker 3: just filled in the blanks. That's what we're doing on
28:12
Speaker 3: the Fifth Hour podcast. We're filling in the blanks. But
28:14
Speaker 3: the bottom liner, Lane Kiffin isn't mad at the reporter.
28:17
Speaker 3: It just looked like he was mad at the reporter.
28:20
Speaker 3: He's mad at his reputation. Because if you don't care
28:23
Speaker 3: about your reputation, if there's no validity to it, then
28:26
Speaker 3: who cares.
28:27
Speaker 1: But he obviously cares. He knows what he's doing.
28:30
Speaker 3: And so the podcast, whatever the name of it, it
28:34
Speaker 3: didn't wind him up. It exposed Pete Carroll. It exposed him.
28:40
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll exposed Lane Kiffin, not Pete Carroll, but it
28:44
Speaker 3: exposed Lane Kiffin right because he you know, he might
28:47
Speaker 3: confront LSU boosters later today. There's a lot of chatter
28:52
Speaker 3: overnight that who knows what's gonna happen when the sun rises,
28:55
Speaker 3: but that Lane's gonna leave for LSU and all that stuff.
28:58
Speaker 3: And so if he leaves, if he does leave, old miss,
29:03
Speaker 3: that line about the hoe will be child's play to
29:07
Speaker 3: the digital lynch mob. I promise you beach all right,
29:13
Speaker 3: we'll get out on that. Have a wonderful Saturday here,
29:17
Speaker 3: enjoy the holiday.
29:19
Speaker 1: Weekend here as you're right in the middle of it.
29:21
Speaker 3: Got another day today and tomorrow, and then back to
29:24
Speaker 3: the salt mines, back to the sweatshop, and as Danny
29:28
Speaker 3: would say, later, skater asta pasta boom shaka laka.
29:38
Speaker 1: Okay, next time, next time, my Felacia
