• 0:21
  Speaker 1: T-Bob is with us. Check him out. Wake up Barstool.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Every morning on FS1, wherever you get your podcasts as well.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: We love him. He was just away. What does Barstool do?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: They have a camp.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You guys go out to a lake because you guys
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: were talking about blobbing And I have no idea what
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: blobbing is.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So let's just start with. What you guys do at
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Barstool every year? Is it camp? What is it? A vacation?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: What do you guys do?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I love the fact that you don't know what blobbing is.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: And me and Mikey A were talking about double blobbing you. Yes.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: You ain't ready to get blobbed by. You ain't ready
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: for the double teams, too. You're going to have to
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: pay a little extra for that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You don't know what it is.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You can't afford it.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Why would I pay extra for something that sounds terrible?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Like you're going to do something awful to me. I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: have a double?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: No, here, okay, what is Barstool? That is a great
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: question because.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Don't give away secrets here, okay?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Last week, Wake Up Barstool was off because football's about
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: to start, and we worked through the summer because we
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: had World Cup. So, like, everybody normally gets a couple
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: weeks off. Summer, we didn't, whatever. So, you know, production team, everybody,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: let's rest up our batteries before football season starts. But
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I'm in content, and so I got to go do
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: this camp thing. And it's funny that you kind of say,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: what do we do? Because I'm sitting there, And it's
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Wednesday night. We've been there for three days, I think,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: at this point. We had just been drinking some beer
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: in the woods, listening to a great American folk band
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: that had rolled through, called them Cooley Boys. And they
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: were like, go down to the beach, there's a surprise.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: And then there was just a massive fireworks show, like
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: a really big on-the-water fireworks show, professionally done and everything.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: And I'm sitting there, I'm like, what are we celebrating?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: We're just a bunch of old 30-year-olds who spent the
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: last two days playing softball against one another on YouTube
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: trying to get views for Mountain Dew. Is that worthy
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: of a private beach fireworks show in the... You know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the beautiful lakes of Wisconsin?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: But it was definitely one of those moments where I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: was like, where the fuck am.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I right now? Yes, I got to be honest. What
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you're celebrating is that you guys are stealing for a living.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: That was work.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: That's what you're celebrating, you know?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Look, this entire company, you could be said... uh, trained
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: at the, at the, you know, at the Stu, at
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the Stu University. Uh, they, they, there, there are many,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: many Stu Gatzian protégés in this company, without a doubt.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I love all of them.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: T-Bob, I'm going to explain to Stu what, what the
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: blob is. So, A blob is a camp staple, Stu.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: It's like a massive air-filled inflatable tube that floats on
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: the lake. One person is on the blob, and then
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: one person goes to almost like a ladder of sorts
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: to jump on the blob. And then when that bigger
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: person jumps on the blob, it shoots the other person
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: in the air. So that's why Mikey and T-Bob are
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: saying they're going to double blob you.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Blobbing is almost a science to maximizing it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: And I think it's something you're either born with or
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: you're not. I think T-Bob was born to blob.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: T-blob.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: T-blob.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Wow. I had the same joke.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: The only reason I'm discussing this was to make that joke.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: It's an odd skill set, but like objectively, I am
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: a very good blobber. But it also comes down to
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the blob itself. Because what you'll find is that about 90%
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: of blobs out there are not correctly installed, not correctly inflated,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: therefore leading to diminishing returns. But when you get to
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: fly on one of the good ones, it's an experience
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: really unlike any other. I mean, we even lifted Brandon
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Walker's old ass, I think like 30 feet in the air,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: somewhere around there when we got him. So yeah, it's
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: worth doing at one point in your life if you've
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: ever come across one, Stu.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: You know who to call.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So Mikey A and you are double blobbing me. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: would land, I don't know where I would end up.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a different state. I like the idea
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: of you laying on the edge, smoking a cigarette, hanging
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: out your mouth, kind of shaking a little bit. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: then as you go flying, the cig goes shooting off
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: into the sky. But you're going to have a good,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you might hurt a little bit afterwards, but you're going
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: to have a good time when you're in the air.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: That's what blobbing is all about. See, Bob? I mean,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: come on. Yes. Is Bill Belichick back?
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: He's not, not back. I don't want to go, I
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: don't want to go, it's like, I do a classic
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: thing where I always overreact to the Aer Lingus, but
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it has given us some valuable intel in the past, right?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I think of it kind of like Georgia Tech's coming
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: out party a couple of years ago that they've kind
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: of done right by up to this point. And here's
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the thing about the ACC, right? In the ACC right now,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: you have Miami, and then you have everybody else. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: one of the more interesting sub-conversations in college football to
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: me right now is who is going to assert themselves
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: as that second-best team in the ACC. Now, Louisville, they
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: look like a prime candidate. There's some others out there.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Like Virginia, I was very impressed with this week. It's
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: just a bunch of old heads chopping it up. But...
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Here is one thing that I do like about what
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I saw at a UNC this weekend. First, this is
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: a TCU team that just beat the hell out of
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: them last year. I think they lost, what was the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: exact number? I think they lost like 34 to TCU
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: last year. So already just a quantifiable massive improvement. But
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: even though I don't know what the ceiling on the
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Petrino-Billy Edwards quarterback-coach combination is, I do like this. I
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: know that Bobby Petrino is going to probably... He'll be successful. Like, he'll...
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: They'll be much better in that regard than last year.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: But if you look at Petrino in Arkansas, the offense
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: was incredible. Everything else was absolute dogshit. Like, terrible penalties
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: and turnovers, finding ways to lose games. So, in theory...
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: taking a Petrino college offense and then combining it with
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: a Belichickian infrastructure, right? Where you should be disciplined. You
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: shouldn't make mistakes. Like Belichick is good at a head
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: coach everywhere where Bobby Petrino was not. And we know
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: that like him or don't like him, Petrino is objectively
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: a good offensive mind in college football. And again, to,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: not to look too much into this game, but like,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: look at TCU, right? 11 penalties, 100 yards. One of
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the key reasons UNC won, four penalties of 25. Disciplined football.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Bill Belichick, with Steve Belichick out, calling the plays defensively.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: They gave up 10 in the first two drives. They
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: don't allow another point afterwards. They're strong in the red zone,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: so it was good situational football by UNC. So yeah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I kind of, I see the vision for the Tar Heels.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: And no matter where this season goes.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: This week's zero win was a bit of a statement that,
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: you know, maybe the disaster that we painted, myself chief
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: among everybody, have painted going on in Chapel Hill right now.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Maybe there's a little more hope than I'm giving them
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: credit for.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: I want the record to show I'm a believer.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, you're not.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Everybody knows that. I've never doubted this coaching staff. I've
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: never doubted Bill Belichick. But if you twisted my arm
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: and made me do glass half empty.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: This might actually be worst-case scenario for UNC because they
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: might just be an average team. You're not going to
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: compete with the elite teams in Notre Dame and Miami,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: and you're probably not bad enough to need a complete
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: reset of the program after the season.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Mikey A is shaking his head. He comes with his
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: own sound effects. He has none for me, but when
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: he speaks, he has plenty.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: He figures out questions he's going to ask like 30
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: minutes before the interview just so that he can set
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: something up.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Also, odd usage there because you said half empty. Yes.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Then played the water sound effect. So I thought you
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: were filling it up.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Yes. Like I thought you were saying we're starting to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: have the no. Should be dumping it out.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Not at all.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: You don't know which way the water is flowing.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Do you have the dumping out sound effect?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I mean. I did want to shout this out. And
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: this comes from Manny Navarro of The Athletic. And these
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: are the stories that I love about college football. But
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: how about the story Xavier Lewis? This is a local
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Carolina cat. walks on the football team, barely plays as
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: a freshman last year. Okay. He's a defensive lineman at
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: six foot two 60 undersized in high school. He led
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: his team to a state championship appearance. He was the
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: tight end, the running back at times, D tackle D
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: at like one of those is hardcore grinder. Do it
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: all sorts of guys. He gets to play. He gets
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: his first ever start over there in Ireland. What does
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: he do? Seven tackles, Four and a half tiffles, two sacks.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I love, especially in this NIL age, where everybody's highly
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: paid and got all these insane measurables, when you see
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: just the guy who fucking loves football, undersized, makes it
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: happen anyway. Shout out Xavier Lewis.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: If Belichick could ice every game by making a guy
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: jump off sides, do you think he would?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I mean... That goes back to the Petrino part, right?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I know, yes.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: If there's one thing that Bill Belichick should be good at,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I would have said it was no distractions, but that's insanely,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: that's out the window. But if there's one thing he
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: should be good at, it should be getting his team
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: ready for situational football. That's what the NFL is all about.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: And we talk about it being maybe the greatest NFL
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: coach of all time. So yeah, that is borderline erotic
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: for a head coach. to win the game in such
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: a disciplined manner.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Taylor passed down the opportunity to go to this game
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: in Dublin, Ireland, for free.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I know, you're shaking your head. It's ridiculous. But he
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: did create a song.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Had he gone to Dublin, this is the song Taylor
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: would have been singing in a local pub after the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: game as a Tar Heel fan.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, Bill sawed off for W with his hoodie and
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: his frown. He brought the heels from Chapel Hill to
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: shake that Irish town. The horned frogs came to meet him,
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: all dressed in purple hue. But Bill had come for
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: one thing, to show what the heels could do. They
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: said the man was getting old. They said his time
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: was through. Then Bill went off to Ireland and beat
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: the hell out of TCU. They called the team a laughingstock.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Nobody gave a chance. They took the fight right to
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: the frogs and did an Irish dance. They counted out
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Bibellecek and said he.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Would go in lists.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Well, you could kiss my Tar Heel ass while I
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: go drink a Guinness. A quarterback from Maryland, he's over
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: six feet tall. He saved the Heels in Ireland. His
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: name is Billy Football. They said his coach was finished.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: His legacy was done. He left Lombardi in the States
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: and then he finally won. But Trino called the offense. Oh,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Bill controlled the D. The Frogs came in as favorites,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: but that meant shit to me. They crossed the sea
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: as underdogs with everybody sure. That TCU would roll the
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: heels while 1510 says more. The time for laughing's over.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Coach Bill has got his team. When Carolina comes to town,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: they're going to cause a scene. I hope you had
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: your fun. I mean it sincerely. You woke the sleeping giant.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Next stop, the CFP.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Just nailed it right up until the end.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Speaking of, you know. Not exaggerating the importance of what
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: you saw at the Aer Lingus. Yeah, Carolina, definite. Wait,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: hold on to it. So you make that song about
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: drinking Guinness. And yet you had the opportunity to cross
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: off something that is on my bucket list as a
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: college football fan, which is to drink a freshly drawn
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Guinness in the stadium at the Aer Lingus watching my
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: favorite team do battle. You know these opportunities only come
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: once in a lifetime, Taylor. What do you have to
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: say for yourself?
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so there's a bit of an asterisk next to
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: that I had the opportunity because my passport is currently expired,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: and the thought process of having to renew the passport
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: was a bit overwhelming. Where if Carolina goes into that
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: game as a 14-point favorite, a 21-point favorite, there might
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: be a little bit of a higher sense of urgency
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: for me to renew the passport. But when Carolina's a
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: 9.5-point underdog, I was like, you know what? I think
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I'd rather watch this from my couch.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think that made anything better. You just said
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: you were too much of a coward to give yourself
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: over to hope. Here at the beginning of a season
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: when nobody can tell you what your team is or isn't,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: you allowed yourself to be swayed and dismayed by the
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: oracles in the desert. Now you're losing on two points.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: You're cowardly, you didn't believe in your team, and you
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: skipped the opportunity to drink freshly drunk Guinness in the
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Ellinga Stadium.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that passport renewal is a pain in the ass, man.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: It really is.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. Actually, probably the craziest shit I've ever done,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I've got to give a shout out to my wife.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: We had a family trip to Mexico one time, and
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I realized the night before that my passport was expired.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Jesus.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: And the next day, the family flew ahead of me.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: But the next day, I got a same-day passport. Wow.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: And managed to meet up with the family in Mexico, dude. Wow.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Expedited. How much extra did you have to pay for that?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: He's still paying for it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Installments.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I think what is it? This is a little PSA.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: If you have a passport office that is drivable, that
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: you can show up in person, a lot of major
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: cities do. And you have an itinerary that proves that
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: you're leaving within, I think, the next 24 to 48 hours.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: You show up, you know, two hours before the door's
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: open to get in line. Right. And you can do it.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: You get same-day passports.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: No, Miami has them on every street corner. You just
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: have no idea if they're legal or not. I mean,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it's a total roll.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Of the dice.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Sounds like Miami. Yeah.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: This is an odd question, T-Bob, but I know you're
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: excited for the LSU season, but because Lane Kiffin is
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: now there and the expectations have risen to a ridiculous level,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: is there a part of you that is nervous as a.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: LSU alum, as someone who loves that school and loves.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: That program, nervous because you know what the reaction is
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: going to be if they lose to, let's say, I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: don't know, Clemson?
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: No, no, I mean, no, I... How do I want
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: to frame this? Being an LSU fan is a bit
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: odd in that the highs are as high as anybody, right?
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Three national championships since 2000 with three different head coaches
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: like you played for another. So when things all coalesce,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: you are as good as anyone in the entire country.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: But if you look at the record of LSU on
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: a year-by-year basis, there's a lot more, I guess you
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: could say, mediocrity than you would think. And yet this
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: is despite the fact that every single offseason— that I
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: was doing local radio. Like I talked myself into them
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: going 10 and two, like every single off season. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: talked about it. So, and, and especially after thinking that
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the Brian Kelly era, how could it not result in
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: a national championship?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: The last three coaches did it. It's a winning this
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: head coach in college football coming in. Surely this will
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: be great. And it fell so flat on its face
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: that I feel like I've got pretty good scar tissue
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: built up here. And so like, What? You're going to
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: make fun of me if we lose to Clemson? I
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: don't give a fuck. I'm going to be there next week. No,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: there's nothing that you could say to hurt me. There's
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: no attack angle. And guess what? If LSU does lose
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: to Clemson after the just... heinous and villainous shit that
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: they have been overwhelmingly upfront about doing, then yeah, everybody
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: should hop on that bandwagon. Because in many ways, the
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: LSU-Clemson game is like, in Dabo and Clemson, kind of
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: the last bastion of the old way of doing things
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: and trying to stubbornly say that this will work, going
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: against the people who are at the absolute forefront of
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: the envelope pushing. Like, people don't realize this. There's all
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: the drama about athletes who had already moved on coming
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: back to play. LSU soccer actually played two girls this
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: weekend that had already moved on and came back to play.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: So like all of it in football's theoretical, LSU soccer's
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: already broken the seal and they've already welcomed back players
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: with open arms that were thought to be out of
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: their college eligibility and gone.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: What do you say to people that Lane Kiffin should
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: be more focused on the game, on the opponent this weekend,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: on the season, on the players that he has than
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: on the players that he doesn't have?
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Have you seen Lane Kiffin? Have you seen Lane Kiffin's
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Twitter at all lately?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Exactly. My guy's fucking dialed. You know what he's not doing?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: He's not tweeting.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: He's not on social media. All he's fucking doing is
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: getting ready to win football games and do right by
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: this $ 40 million roster. If you have the chance to
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: get the man who just led all rookies in sacks
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: in the NFL preseason on your college football team, Jack Pyburn,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: you go get that guy.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: You're right, yes.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Okay? The thing is, like, I hate... On a personal level,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I don't like this. You should not be able to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: go try with an NFL team and then come back
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: and play college on a.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: But outside of just a bit of personal distaste, you
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: really can't argue it from any other angle. When these
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: guys declared to go to the NFL, they did not
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: realize that having another year of eligibility was even an option. Well,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: then that opens up. If you're one of these players...
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: And you have the opportunity to either, okay, A, your
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: football career is done, or you get to go make
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: a million dollars playing football again this fall. You take
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: the million dollars. And if you're Lane Kiffin and you
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: have all the pressure in the world on you, they
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: just spent $ 200 million between firing coaches, hiring coaches, building
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: the roster, and you have to win immediately because look
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: at what's significant. That's the era in which we live. Well,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: It's hard to say that you wouldn't do every single
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: thing you possibly could to make that a reality. So, yeah,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a weird thing where I have personal
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: distaste for it. However, I understand the motivations. of every
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: single piece involved that created the situation.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: T-Bob, I've been at the forefront of saying that we
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: were wasting Saturday nights in Baton Rouge and Death Valley
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: on Brian Kelly, and now that they bring Lane Kiffin in,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: the only time I've been to Death Valley was a
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: game under Brian Kelly, and I feel like I didn't
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: get the proper.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: the proper experience.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: So I'm thinking about going to this week, one game
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: against Clemson. And I'm curious in your opinion, what are
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the must, the, the must do things in Baton Rouge?
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Uh, I mean, let me think like, so the must
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: do thing is the game. Right. And, and I would
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: just say that when you go tailgating, uh, don't be
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: like shy, like, So there are some tailgating environments. Like
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I remember famously going to like Ole Miss one time
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: or something and, and people had like padlocks on their
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: ice chests. Right. And, and it was very like, no, no, no,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: this is mine. And you must, who are you? You
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: must go elsewhere to find your vigils. At LSU, what
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: you're going to run into is a very welcoming environment.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Open environment. You just talk about who you are. You say, oh, let,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: you know, say exactly what you just said to me.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I came here during Kelly and I was like, everybody
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: will welcome you with open arms. You will be showered
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: with drinks and delicious foods. Try it all. Drink it all.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: But if you're looking for something to do Friday night,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, Taylor, you're still young enough. You could probably
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: get away with maybe a Fred's visit. That could be
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: kind of crazy. I always loved getting superior margaritas. At
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: the Superior Mexican Restaurant. There's a couple of them there.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Those are excellent. It's kind of like the local Baton
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Rouge spot on a Friday night to get fired up
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: for the weekend. You know what? For breakfast, go to
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Simple Joe's Diner, upper government, and get you some biscuits
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: and gravy. They only serve it on the weekends. Super cheap.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: It's the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had in
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: my entire life, and I fucking love. Biscuits and gravy.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Can I name drop you? Fried egg. Sunny side up egg.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Can I name drop you?
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Say we work together.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. If he said no, you would still do it, right?
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Learn from the best.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Broadcasting. T-Bob, are you going to the game?
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: No, I think the only LSU game that I have
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: on the docket this year thus far is Alabama.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I can't wait. It's going to be my first time
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: back in Baton Rouge in like over a year and
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: a half, which is going to be Very exciting. I'll
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: be drinking many superior margaritas. I'm actually going to be
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: going to Fred's because our barstool band, Pup Punk, is
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: going to be playing there with Shaq. They're opening up
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: for Shaq, who's going to be DJing afterwards. And so
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: and then I am just going to. I'm going to
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: be an obscene, just gluttonous, gratuitous, obnoxious human being when
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: it comes to Saturday against Alabama. And hopefully by that time,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: like who knows, right? Because that's my favorite part about
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: this college football season is while that it's actually begun, Uh,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: like the off season kind of sucks. It's impossible to
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: keep track of like, who's where you're like studying rosters,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: trying to make it all make sense. Uh, but what
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: this leads to is we don't actually know. who's good
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: and who's not, or how good or how not a
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: team will be. And so like now that the actual
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: games are starting, I feel like we stand to learn,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: like look at UNC, we stand to learn more every
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: single week than the majority of college football seasons that
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: we have lived through up to this point, which means
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I am fascinated by the idea of what both LSU
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: and Alabama will be come that first weekend in November.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: What do you think Alabama's going to be?
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: It's tough because, you know, at a certain point, it's like,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: is the police chief going to call me into the
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: office and take me off the case? Demand my gun
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: and badge because I'm too close to it. Because I
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: fucking hate him. And so I can't help but see
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: all the flaws, right? I see an offensive line last
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: year that was supposed to be highly talented and they
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: got absolutely, I mean, could not run the ball. Couldn't
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: convert a third and one. got absolutely dominated on the
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: lines of scrimmage by Indiana. I see a coach in
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Kalen DeBoer who has, and granted part of this is
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: because of the heights of what he took over, but
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: like pick six has this great kind of coaching metric
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: where two years in they look, okay, have you lowered
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: the program, elevated? He's been one of the worst 10
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: hires in the entire country. If you just look at
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: where the program was to what it's done under him,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and again, a lot of that due to Saban, I
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: see a quarterback position that had a first-round guy, Ty Simpson,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: last year who looks really good in the NFL preseason,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: and yet they couldn't do much with him. And so
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: now you're going to get better with the first-time starter,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Keelan Russell, having completely reworked this Alabama offensive line. Yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: it's a really tough schedule. Actually, well, the scheduling's a
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: bit interesting because all SEC schedules feel tough, but they're actually–
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: a bit on the easier side. Um, I, I think
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Alabama is probably a nine and three team. I think
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: they're nine and three team. I think it's a bit
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: of a safe answer. Uh, but who knows, maybe they'll
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: blow me away or maybe like we live in an
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: era where no Alabama really is just kind of pedestrian,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: like everyone else in the entire country.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Uh, if it is that, if it's three losses, DeBoer
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is God, right? He has to be. I, I would,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I would think so.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I think maybe it also, though, like, who would be
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: the sexy potential hire? Like, which coach is going to
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: blow us away during this college football season and maybe
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: represent something tantalizing enough to Alabama to make that move?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Belichick.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Now, I would say I don't think 9-3
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: would 100% be DeBoer out. I feel like they've got
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: a little bit of sunk cost in DeBoer. And I
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: feel like there's contextually 9-3s out there where we might
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: see a 9-3 team make the playoff. So I think
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: there's a couple scenarios which he could survive that. But yeah,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: certainly 8-4. And you feel like that's kind of a
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: zero-sum game. He's out of there.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: T-Bob, I feel like Alabama needs a coach that better
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: fits what Alabama football is supposed to be. And I
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: think we saw him in action this weekend. Charles Huff
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: from Memphis.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, already, this is why I love college football.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: We actually had Huff on Wake Up this morning. He's
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: fucking awesome, dude. I mean, he was great at Marshall. Remember,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: he was the man that led that Marshall win over
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame a few years back where they just really
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: bullied Marshall. Notre Dame, all he talks about is toughness.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: He gets screwed over at Marshall, gets screwed over at
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Southern Miss. Now he ends up at Memphis, where Memphis
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: is an interesting job. Memphis, they're kind of like kingmakers, right?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Look at Mike Norvell. Look at Ryan Silverfield. Memphis is
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: a school where they always have talent. They're always seemingly good.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: And if you're a coach worth your salt, you can
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: do very good things there, and then you become the
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: next big candidate. It's like already this morning, I've heard
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: like Mississippi State fans talking about Huff, South Carolina fans
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: maybe talking about Huff. Alabama would feel like way too
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: large of a leap, but Charles Huff, week zero, had
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: the big stage and officially put people on notice doing
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: what he did going on the road at UNLV and really,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, out-toughing them is how they won that game.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Because that first half wasn't great. They should have been
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: down more. They found a way to only be down
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: one score. But they came out that second half and
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: they just started to beat ass. And UNLV completely crumbled
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: under the relentless pressure of that Memphis defensive line by
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: the end of that game.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: T-Bob, we need your help splitting a tie here because
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: before we were as split as you could be, 2-2
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: with Jessica Smetana. When you think Elvis, do you think
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Memphis or Las Vegas?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: It's an easy answer. No, this is an easy answer.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: It's a great question.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: You're right. It is an easy answer. You're just wrong.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: How am I wrong?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: So I will give you my instinctual answer.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And then what I think the correct answer is, because
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: my instinct was like, oh, it's Vegas.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, fuck yeah, look, it's Elvis.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: It's Vegas. That's like, you know, that's what Vegas is
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: known for, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right. But then I did,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: it was pointed out to me, oh, wait, no, like,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: that's Memphis. Like, it is some purpose. Like, so final
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: answer is. Elvis is Memphis.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, correct.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Graceland is there. Yeah, Graceland is there. That's it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: You can end it right there. Graceland is there. Elvis
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: is Memphis.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, when you think Vegas, you think Wayne Newton.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I mean. Yeah.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: What do we know?
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Who thinks Wayne Newton now? You think Wayne Newton, Mikey.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: That is true.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: You do.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: You think Wayne Newton.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: You think Wayne Newton. All the Wayne Newton impersonators walking around, right?
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: You ever seen Vegas Vacation? Yes. You think Wayne Newton.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: It's either Wayne Newton or Jerry Tarkadian. I mean, that's it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, for me, that's all.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Dark uh yes it was it was a bit presumptuous
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: by dan mullen and co to bring out elvis against
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: memphis right very very purposeful there and against charles huff
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: who we now know no ice cream no music no
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: bullshit and you come out there and you throw hometown
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: bullshit in his face. Kind of got hoisted on your
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: own batard there, Dan. And I love Dan Mullen. Very
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: good coach.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: But you think Elvis is yours. Get out of here, right?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: That's what you said. No, no.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: He said the tone immediately.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: These two should have a game every year for the
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: right to claim Elvis. Who says no to that?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Nobody.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: The Elvis Bowl. He likes it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: He's thinking about it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Viva Memphis. Elvis has had so many different phases that
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: every year you could bust out a new Elvis mascot.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: You could have like sexy young military Elvis. One year
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: you have like fat, old, 30 pounds of shit in
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: his intestines Elvis. And yeah, you could just work it
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: through the years. Stack those trophies.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: T-Bob, we love you. Check him out. Wake up. Wait,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm sorry. I'm yelling.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Virginia, man. Okay. Shout out to Virginia.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: We talked about ACC teams.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, we did.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Maybe filling the void. I did not realize this till
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: this morning. Did you know that Virginia, who, by the way,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: sells out their home opener, first home sellout in 18 years,
