  Speaker 5: Yeah. I had a real quick trip.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Flew in Saturday, stayed one night, had like a short conference,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: and then it was coming back and I, you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I pretty much spent the entire day at the airport yesterday,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: which sucked.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Orlando Airport. You stink was there?
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, but let me tell you the commitment I
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: had to this show. I had three different flights booked
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: at the same time at one point to get back
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: here because I was on a I was on a
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Southwest flight.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was supposed to be like a five
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: o'clock flight, five thirty flight.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Get the get the news at like noon one pm
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: that it's delayed till seven, Like all right, let's stink.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: About an hour later, that's delayed till nine. Like, oh,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: this isn't gonna work. I've seen this happen.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I've seen this story play out. Why where they just
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: keep delayed, delayed, delayed, delay, canceled, cancel.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: So I was like, all right, so looked in. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: was like, all right, how else am I gonna get back?
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I gotta get back to New Orleans. Guss where my
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: car is. I want to go to Baton Rouge and
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: have to like uber to New Orleans the next day. Right,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: So we found the old Frontier airline.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I was wondering because you said Frontier, and I'm like, look,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I know this is a cheap s ob, but Frontier,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: what's he doing was he's got a wife and family.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: He can't be risking Frontier.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: I just like, y'all should just know the commitment I have.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I was really willing.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: To risk my life to make it back for this show.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: And that's what you're doing, really when you're when you're
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: booking Frontier. And I did it, and uh I got there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: We're booking Frontier and then of course they they like,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: they don't cancel, they delay the flight, and in like
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: pure Frontier fashion, they don't tell you anything at the gate, like, hey,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: how long were we delayed? I don't know, all right, Well,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: like what's the problem. I don't know.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: I don't really know. There's just a there's a bunch
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: of maintenance people on the plane.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't like that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: And so like I'm not on Frontier Frontier.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: So I'm like in my head, I'm just like, it's
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: not a mechanic, it's nothing wrong with the engine. It's
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: probably like the AC's broken. Because no one wants to
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: sit on a hot plane. They're probably just fixing the AC.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Well that probably so, all right, Okay, so let me
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: tell you that. So I got the Frontier flight and
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I canceled my Southwest flight right right, got my credits back, yep,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: got Southwest bucks. So this flight I'm about I'm there
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: for like three hours, still delayed, nothing, nothing, nothing. Well,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I rebooked my flight with Southwest, the same flight I
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: was on that had been delayed to like nine thirty PM.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Rebooked with that anyway, So I had.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: A bunch of flights and anyway, my Frontier flight, they
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: finally say all right, let's go, We're ready. Mechanics said
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: we're good to go, and I'm thinking to myself, are
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: these Orlando Airport mechanics? Are these frontier mechanics?
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Like what calm?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Which one's worst?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: What caliber mechanic we're working with? So anyway, we get
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: on the flight and it is what you think it was,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: you know, frontier flight. You know, you never knew how
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: bare minimum like a chair could be until you.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Get we might have we might have casting out your
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: life insurance through text messages.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was. I wanted to make sure it was
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: up to date.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: But you get on the plate and like you already
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: got you got some nerves I don't like in these
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: days anyway of it. Every little noise, like I keep
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: looking out the window, like right on the wing and
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: like there smoke coming out. Yeah, you ever like take
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: off of the flight real quick? So you take off
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: and they like slow down.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Really fast and.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: The engine down. But it's like do you have to
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: do it so fast? Like I don't know, we're not
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: street racing here. You could take it back like easy.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Uh no, speaking of kind of street racing. Went and
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: saw F one last night, me and Jackson Brad Pitt
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: F one. How was it awesome?
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: That's what I've heard.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Awesome and you said street racing reminded me of like
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: when we were in high school and you go see
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: fast and Furious and you get in your car and
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you don't even really know you're doing it, and you're like, oh,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going eighty seven and a thirty five. That can't happen.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Don't need to do that again. I mean, I'm pushing
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: this Highlander to the limits last night, just kidding all
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Star sort of. Jackson's like, slow.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Down, you know, that's what we always say about those
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: fast they.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Can go slow.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's basically Brad Pitt was driving it last night.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Awesome, Wait real quick, I'll changed lanes without the blinker.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: We we know how you feel about Frontier. What are
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: your thoughts on Spirit Airlines? Okay? All right, all right,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: we're going to get there.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, can I can I set the scene real quick?
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Because so when you were flying Frontier, we did pop
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: off a bunch of jokes in the group text and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: we're like, you know, don't you make it?
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't fly.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: That's true.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I don't do. I did a singular I asked about
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: his life insurance. I just want to make sure lady
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and the kids were taken care of, but it was
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Frontier And so we got into the studio today and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: we're talking about it and Tatan and I knew exactly
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: what he was going to say. He's like, Flynn, how
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: do you feel about Spirit Airlines? And his answer was
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: they're underrated.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Spirit Airlines definitely.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: The funniest answer that I would have came out of
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: his mouth.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Spirit said, no problems, but.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Anyone ever say that Spirit Airlines is underrated.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: So I understand, Well, that's because I know how they
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: are rated in public opinion, because I get the feeds.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I get, like people video and fights and arguments and
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: all this like stuff about Spirit and I get that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: And actually I didn't know that Frontier with what y'all
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: told me was comparable to that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Yes, okay, so much. It makes sense. I got it now,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Like I'm with you on that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: But Spirit, to me, when you're talking about how they're rated,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: they're rated really low because of what people post. So
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: that said they're underrated because I've had some good experiences
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: with because they have they have these random direct flights
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: from New Orleans. So I got I told y'all, we
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: took our family of five to a direct flight to Columbus,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Ohio one time, and it was like eight hundred bucks.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I assume that you were going to go hang out
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: with ajo to visit a host state, unless you know
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you were delivering them.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: We were visiting our friends.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: But like we got there for five kids, I'm sorry,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: five family, five round chair for like eight or nine
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: hundred bucks. Now here's my disclosure on that. So I
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: did go. It was peaceful, We had nice I'm not
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: gonna say nice, but it was seats, all right, there
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: were seats.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: They had seats on the plane. We didn't have to
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: stand a minimum. You have to lay down.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: You do have to pay for carry ons. You can
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: carry a backpack. You got to pay for things, all right.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: So it's like you bring your own snacks, like you're
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: already prepped.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: You're ready.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Don't let them handle you, get your you get your
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: UH boarding passes on your phone beforehand, because they charged
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: you to like print out boarding passes. They charge you
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: for a lot of things. All right, that's crazy, but
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: you got to be prepared. But I'll say the one
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: complaint I had was a pretty big one. We were
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: sitting there and of course everybody knows how to what
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: it's like to travel with children. Yeah, like there's a
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: lot that you got to be very attentive. You don't
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: get to relax a lot because they always need something.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: They need snacks, they need colors, they need whatever it is. Well,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: one of my children was was eating or chewing gup.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I can't remember what they were doing, but they needed something.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: They needed a trash. Yeah, so I get what do
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: you do if you need trash on an airplane?
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: You get a doggy bag? Yeah, And he gets a
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: little throw up the bar bag and I'm like, all right,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: it's a fresh one. Boom, I get it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: I pop it out?
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Had do you pop it out? You put your hand
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: in it, pop out the bottom. There's puke in it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Wait yep, stuck the old hand and some puke.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Hold up.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: A bag that was on the airplane in the back
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: of the sea. There was an old puke used bag. Yeah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and you had the audacity to say it was underrated.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I'm not. I'm not with you anymore. Like
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: I've only used it once and did have a problem.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: If I have that happened I've.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Used I stick my hand in there and there's puke
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: in there. Already, right, it is going to be Spard Airlines,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: brought to you by Jacob Pester. Right everything you thought
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines would be. What are you talking about?
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Underrated? Yeah? Like, hey, because I was with you until this,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: guess what it was? What?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: I don't want that to happen for sure. Don't want
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: to stick my hand in puke. I looked at Lacy
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: and I was like, I'll be back.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Did you call somebody over and say, hey, there, you're
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit in shock, like things are happening.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: You're you're traveling with three young kids as it is,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: so things are, things are hectic, all right. I didn't
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: have time to like look at the bag, inspect it
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: and be like, yep, that's a freshy it was I
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: pulled it out. They needed that trash, well, they need
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: that trash. They need it right now.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it was for you, remember, Wow,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: did not expect that. I thought I thought you were
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: gonna say they charged me for using the bag. I
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: didn't that you were gonna end up with puke on
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: your hand.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Yep?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Did you end up telling anybody like, I gotta say
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: something to somebody. So the next poor bastard he got
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: puke on his hand.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just a pay it forward situation. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: puked in a bag, stuck it in the pocket for
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: the next guy.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was tough.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: With that being said, I would fly it again because
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: of the cheapness. Pretty good. If you can say stick
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: what what is the dollar amount for you to stick
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: your hand in?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: It feels like, you know, instead of going to like Cabo,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: you're going to Tijuana when you chance to spirit fly,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Yep, from going to Mexico. Oh,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Cabo's cool to Juana, all right, but it's a.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Direct It was direct. Didn't have to change over you
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: you're talking about layovers with children.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I got. I kind of go back and forth with
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: that sometimes I'm like, you know, you gotta because we're
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: we're going to California as the longest we go to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: go see family. It's like direct from New Orleans to California.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: That's a long one ball. But if you stop in
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you know, Dallas or Houston and kind of split it
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: I was also in a spirit plane one time. There
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: was a mechanic working on the wing and there was
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: what looked at the time, like duct tape because it
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: was you know, silver tape on the wing. Uh, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: mean ducta is strong, right. But I did find out
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: that there is something called like I'm not even gonna
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: say this, I'm just gonna make a generic turn.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: It's like airplane tape that is like somebody say.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's specific us. It looks like it did make
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: me feel better. Now, does Spirit pay for the airplane tape?
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: No other than because it's probably the same.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: No, they went to Wahlmart and got some duct tape.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: But we made it.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I was on that flight yesterday and again super hyper
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: sensitive to any noise that plane is making, said my prayers.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I was yeah, and y'all kept.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Texting me before and I was like, all right, guys,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: this is like this this group that has a lot
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: of fiery death vibes.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Right now, so like let's just chill.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Sorry. I was like, I was in the movie theater
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: watching the movie and it was fast cars, so I
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: had some of adrenaline pumping. I just thought i'd shoot
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: off some straight text messages. You made it. We made it, Elanda.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: You really haven't seen the promos for the Brad Pitt
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: F one movie. No, I didn't even know Brad Pitt
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: had a movie out right now. I feel like everywhere
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: they don't really consume a lot of content outside of
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: like because I don't need that. I mean and certainly
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: like live TV. But I feel like if I was
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: watching ESPN for some reason, yeah f one that the
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: promo was there, I don't think I like, really pay
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: attention hard enough to did it linger it all? It
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: was long?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: But no, Well that's what because I was looking at
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: news all the weekend and it was like two hours
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: thirty five minutes.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like, but no, it was it was good.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Did keep your attention? I'm sure there's had I mean
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: hours of like I mean, it was.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: No punt intending like full throttle. Oh dang, Brad Pitts
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: still Guy's fastball son of a gun. So saved something
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: for the rest of it. And what what was the character?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Sonny was his name, Sonny Hayes. I believe so this
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: is a fictional, yes, situation, but they have real drivers
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: like Lewis Hamilton was in in the movie. You didn't
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: have any like lines or anything, but they kept showing him.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to give too much away. But
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: he was in. He was involved in a big scene.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: So yeah, go check it out.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: It's my movie recommendation. You just go see it. It's
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: two and a half hours, but it goes by pretty fast. Again,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: no pun intended there either. Good movie. Brad Pitt did great,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: great movie, go see it. Hadn't seen a movie in
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a very long time. Certainly that wasn't a cartoon, so
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: me and Jackson enjoyed it. I ate my waiting popcorn.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: I think, oh man, come on.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Yesterday was cheat day and there was cheating going on. Popcorn. Uh,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: peanut butter, Eminem's and Pretzel.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: The pretzel leminems are so good and I can't find them.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Oh wait, like a pretzel pretzel because they also havel pretzel.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But Pretzel Eminem's and the Blue Bag used to be.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I can't think they make them anymore. I only see
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: them in airports. Yeah they're probably old. Yeah, and I'm
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: still eating they do.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: They have the the coke ICs.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: It was a game time decision. Blue Red Icy are
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: go with the Coke zero? Do't with the Coke zero.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: There's a game time decision. Though I'm with you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I will say they have made a lot of improvements
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: and at home popcorn technology, like that home popcorn is
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: legit now, like it's it's getting pretty damn close to
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: movie theater quality. But there's still nothing like that big
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: old bucket. Take it over there to the fake butter dispenser,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: push that greasy red button.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I know, I don't do that.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: I don't. I don't don't do the butter.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't. I don't go overboard.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, celebrated water, white cheddar, give me the white cheddar.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Shakeup. I'm buying the res PCs and dumping them in
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: like we're doing it all.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, at least, you know, peanut butter, m and
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: ms on went peanut butter. Get some protein in there,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: no extra butter on the popcorn went coke zero not
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: a coke.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: But but you know what's the difference when you go
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: to the theater and you have the guy or girl
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: that works back there, that takes ultimate pride, and how
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: they scooped that popcorn up, like.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: They fluff it up and they pour.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: It up and then and they'll like get it at
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: halfway and they're like, you want butter, and they'll pour
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: the butter halfway they'll shake it blah blah blah, like
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: they take pride in it. And this makes a difference.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: If you're road last night, Yeah, I hadn't got it
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: in a while. That's a difficult, but y'all know what
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about. Theater and you get that guy that
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: takes pride in it, it makes a differences. Been a
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: little TLC in that popcorn bucket.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: There was like there we have an old school movie theater.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Like I'm old school, like old school, like the seats
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: like look like little stadium seats where like the little
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: cherry just folded down. They were cloth and it wasn't
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: even like On on the Rise. It was like the
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: old like barely this was no. This was in California.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I'm saying when I played for the Chargers went out
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and it was in Poway, California. But they had a
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: guy John who did exactly what you're talking about. This
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: old movie theater. Now they showed all new movies, but
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: like a retro feel to it, and he was that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: like he was a show. When he put the popcorn
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: into a bucket, you were getting like you're paying for
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the movie ticket, but you're also paying for John services
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: for him to go out there and ham it up
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: when he's making the popcorn. And it was a great experience.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Good for him. I don't even know if he's alive
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: or debit RP to him.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: He's probably still with us. He was young.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Good for him.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: He's a young fellow.
• 18:25

  Speaker 5: Who knows. Go check them out. Go flow ivspod dot com.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: All right, so, Titey, you put this inside of the
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: document and it is a little surprising and it is
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: a strength of schedule for the SEC teams. And of
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: course we're talking football here because they go, you know,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: from sixteen down to number one. And at number sixteen,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the Texas Longhorns played in the SEC championship game a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: year ago, so really good last year, expect you to
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: be really good this year. And their average opponent win
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: total is the lowest in the SEC. At number fifteen,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: another team that made the College Football Playoff, Tennessee. So
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: you go two teams that made the college football Playoff,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Texas and Tennessee, with what it's expected to be the
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: easiest schedules as far as win totals in the SEC,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that's pretty nice.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, embarrassment of riches there. And I guess I mean
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: this isn't it's a little bit different than the old
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: days where strength you controlled your strength strength to schedule
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: a lot, by who you scheduled, you know, out of conference,
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: blah blah blah. So this is this is really just
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: kind of the luck of the draw at this point,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: like who's good, who's bad?
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Like the teams that are.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: That are rebuilding, that you're facing where you're falling in
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: your home, you're being the visitor at home or away
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: whatever it is, like they take all of that into accounts.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: So really, you got two of the better teams last
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: year in this say see, you know, just getting a
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: little bit fortunate here on this on this schedule. And
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: so I mean, good for them, but you know, they
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: can't really control everything that happens on their schedule or
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: how people are ranking them on a strength of schedules.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: You take, yeah, your SEC schedules obviously, just it's given
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: to you and you take it. And if you're fortunate
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: enough to be Texas or Tennessee, or if you're not
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: fortunate enough in your Oklahoma, which we'll get to them,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: but so we go Texas Tennessee. Then Missouri's at fourteen.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Old Miss comes in at number thirteen, the Auburn Tigers
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: come in at number twelve, and then the LSU Tigers.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Average opponent win total is seven point two, and it
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: says here lshu's conference slate will be slightly tougher than
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: it was last year due to the locations of the
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Old Miss and Alabama games being flipped, but it's still manageable.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: LSU gets Texas, A and M and Florida n bat
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: rouge both games the Tigers loss last year. I mean, yeah,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: you're going to Old Miss, You're going to Alabama. Ole
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Miss is not as difficult of a place to play,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: in my opinion than A and M or Florida. I
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: think both those venues obviously are going to be more
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: difficult to play. In Alabama, it's usually up for the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: LSU game, but still like A and M in Florida,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: those are not easy road trips. And I'm not even
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: just talking about the strength of that team. I'm talking
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: about just the atmosphere and the venue that you play in.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: So it's kind of doesn't. It doesn't really matter. Those
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: are the types of venues.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: It doesn't really matter how good the team is because
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: those places are always going to be tough, and both
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: those teams with LSU coming in are always going to
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: look at it as a some sort of a rivalry.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: You know, probably I guess I would say Florida more
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: than A and M, but they seem kind of they
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: seem kind of equal as far as what the other
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: opponent thinks about LSU as a rivalry.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: But those are tough plays.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Swamp it is, so, I mean, it's
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if Florida's a five win team or
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: a ten win team that place, this is going to
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: be tough to walk in there, and LSU to beat
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: them always. Yeah, maybe not in the last ten years
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: or so because our record's pretty good against them, but
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: still tough place to play. And you know we've gone
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: into Kyle Field multiple times and you know, been a
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: tough game for us. So I don't know, those ones
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: are always for us are going to be tough.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: To me, it's more like sure where you're going, But
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: it's also like where it's at in the schedule. How
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: many games are butted up against each other. Is it
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: spread out more than anything, more than where you're playing
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: and who you're playing Because you've played in the SEC,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: you're not going to have, oftentimes just an easy path
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to get to the finish line. And so for LSU,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: the thing that is going to be different. You do
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: face Florida on September thirteenth. That is always an October game.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It is now the third game of the year. So
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: you go at Clemson, Louisianattack at home, Florida at home.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Then you get set Southeastern at home before you go
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: to Old Miss, so you get them at home. But
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I would say that's a tough stretch. I don't know
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: if I'd go Clemson Tech Florida, and no disrespect to
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Louisiana Tech, you're just sandwiched in between those games because
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: you get Old Miss at the end of that before
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: you get a bye week. Then after the bye week,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it's South Carolina at home, at Vanderbilt, Texas A and
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: m at home. That's a pretty tough three game stretch.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I'd probably go there with the toughest one because then
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: you get a bye week. Then it's at Bama Arkansas
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: at home, Western Kentucky at Oklahoma. But I would say
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: South Carolina at Vandy and A and M might be
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: your toughest stretch. So yes, the opponents and going on
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: the road, there is some difficulty to the schedule, but
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: you get a lot of good games at home right now.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I don't you know at Vanderbilt, who knows Diego Pavia.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: We saw teams go in there last year, Alabama come
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: out with a lost, Texas had to fight to the
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: very end against Vandy at home. So those aren't guarantees.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: But the opponents are tough, but you you kind of
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: got a favorable draw of how many of those heavy
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: hitters you have in a row, because right now, I
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: don't think because of a bye week between Ole Miss
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: and South Carolina, you're not going to face two preseason
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: top twenty five opponents back to back.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to think about how I feel about
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: the stance here. Is a stretch more difficult because you're
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: facing good teams back to back to back? Is it
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: more difficult than you know, facing maybe a couple better
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: teams with like the lower schools Sandwich in between, and
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: you know my feelings against scheduling smaller schools on the
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: schedule anyway, I don't love it, you know, I don't
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: think or it will or should ever really change.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: I just don't love it as a fan and like
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: as a viewer of football.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Right, But I you know, as a player, I think
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I was I prefer the game stacked up on each other,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: one by one by one, because you know, even even
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: though you're playing the Southeastern or Louisiana Tech, it doesn't
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: mean you're getting extra work.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: In for the next team.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just trying.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: You're just you're making the assumption that it's going to
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: be a less stressful game, it's going to be lower
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: impact on the body, which that might have a little bit,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: but it's not like it's they're going out and playing
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: two hand touch or anything. I mean, it's it's the
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: same situation. You're just not quite as whether you admit
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: it or not, or subconsciously or even aware of it,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: the preparations a little bit less. You're not playing as
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: hard in those games as you do for the big schools,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: and it just it's just the human nature. That's just
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: the nature of the beast, all right. So I think
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: I would rather the games stacked up on each other
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: because every week you're focused, you're focusing on an opponent.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I get it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Maybe they hit a little bit harder, maybe, but I
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: mean it's still college football whether you play it, whether
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: you play at South Carolina, you play it was a tech.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, you're still a college football athlete that's going
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: to hit pretty harder. You know.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: It's you just might not have the skills that somebody
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: else has, so like the speed or the hand on
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: whatever it is. But they're still big, strong and fast.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: I mean we're still hitting, we're still taking. Our bodies
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: are still taking and beaten. Right, So I think I
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: would prefer that. So I would say that stretch, I
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: would say the first stretch of the game to me,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: or the first stretch of the year, excuse.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: At Clemson, Louisiana Tech at home, Florida at home, Southeastern
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: at home, and at Ole Miss.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that stretch to me is probably the
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: most important, especially over that middle where you're what we say,
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: South Carolina.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, Vandy and A and M Vandy being on
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: the road against the Commodoors in Nashville.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I think just once you get into the SEC play
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: and you're playing good teams every single we you tend
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: to get in a rhythm, right, It's just more of
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: a rhythm of all right, this is sec play. We're
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: in a rhythm. We got a good team every single week.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: This is the preparation. Blah blah blah. I think with
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: the smaller schools, the preparation is a little bit different.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Louisian Tech game is going to be packed. I don't
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: know if y'all have talk to people like everybody I
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: talked to when they start talking about football season. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: guess because it is the first home game you start
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: off on the road. Everybody I know is like, yeah,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: we'll be there for the Tech game. We'll be there
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: for the Tech game. You think that same referee that
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: was backpedaling and tried to beat me into the end
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: zones going to be calling the game again.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: He's been training, no doubt, he's being looked.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: His hips. Good God, did we.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Ever get like a backstory on that guy? What your like?
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: How many years did you play in the league?
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but we need to.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: I do was legit?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: The transition he made was it was pro.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: It is so great when you you see the club,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: you see him every year in every sport, but it's
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: especially football when there's like a long play, a breakoff run,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: like you got that one referee that's like, yep, this
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: is what I've been training for.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Watch this boys. A lot of those guys are former
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: former players. One of my teammates, Antoine Cason, played at Arizona,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: actually played against US here. JaMarcus threw a pick to him.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: It's like the only thing Arizona did that day. But
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: he was our first round pick in San Diego and
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: he had a long career eight nine years in the NFL,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: but he became a referee and he started like in
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: high school, in college and now he's I think this
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: might be his first year where he's getting some NFL actions.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Awesome. Yeah, came up through the ranks, yep.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's it's so funny when you see those
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: guys because he got some like you'll have an NFL
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: punk returner, like just streaking down the sideline. He got
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: a referee running side by side with him, like you know,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: he's not at that point, he's not looking for anything,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: he's not looking for any penalties. He's just he's just
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: trying to show out on TV.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: On camera watched this kids.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, all right, we'll take a break. We'll get more
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: into some SEC scheduling. Who has the hardest schedule in

  Speaker 2: A uh, great moment in Elsie football history. A chaotic moment,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: but great for some chaotic on the sidelines call him
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: in the huddle.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: I like to say there was ninety two thousand nervous
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: people and there was eleven people that weren't.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: We really weren't that Maybe we should have been.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, so like you'll see a movie,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: all right, and stay with me. You'll see a movie
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: and it'll be a sports movie. For the love of
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: the games that does a really nice job. I'm sure
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: have y'all all seen that with Kevin Costner, Billy Chapel Yeah,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: so like everything kind of slows down. He's kind of
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: talking to himself a little bit. Like sometimes you don't
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: think that happens in a sport like football, where it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: so fast and fast and fast and you're in the huddle,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: but there's a couple of moments that that does happen.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: It's like everything does feel like it's slow motion a
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: little bit. You feel like the clock's not running as fast.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: And oddly enough, that was one of those moments for
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: me at least, because the clock's ticking. Now we knew
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: we had Colet David and Colt was a really really
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: good college kicker, but we wanted to go finish it
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: on offense. And you know, as the play comes in,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: it felt like nobody was in a rush. I don't
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: think it was that. But then when we kind of
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: realized what was going on and we realized what defense
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: must chant was going to play like, we felt really
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: good about the situation. Yeah, I mean you seemed calm.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you were.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you called a play and I didn't know
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: we were gonna get into this, But what a great
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: what a cool it is, right.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out by the way, birthday cond antagonists because
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: of Demetrious.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Birth happy birthday. What a legend. What a great addition
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: to our team too, by the way, good.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Lord yeah Juco, right, yeah yeah.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: So we get to the line of scrimmage what they
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: called the play. And let me tell you, like we have,
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: we spend so many meeting and practice hours that we
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: work on every situation. We go through every thing that
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: can happen, that could happen, that might happen, that probably
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: won't happen. You go through all of that, you practice
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: most of it. You can't practice against like every single situation,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: like every single defense they get throat or whatever. But
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: you practice the plays, you practice the time management, you
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: practice the you know air quote like special plays, like
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: plays that might never happen. So there's always a period
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: or two periods in a game week that you practice
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: those weird things like like church plays or Hail Mary's
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: or you know, we call him Jesse James stand up
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: plays with defense like stands up the runner doesn't tackle them,
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: so a couple extra seconds run, like just weird situational football.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: But this is one of those it's like, hey, we've
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: worked on it before, so we're gonna call a play
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: that's base that's a seven man protection, it's a base play.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: It's simple. We're just gonna run go routes. We're just
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: gonna run, run deep.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know what, We're gonna call this in
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: a situation at the end of the game where the
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: clock might be running. It may or may not be running,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: but if it is running, you're gonna get up to
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: a lot of scrimmage and if they give you a shot,
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: take it. Yeah, they probably won't say time. They'll probably
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: in that situation, they'll probably line up.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: But there's a.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Chance that if you're on the fringe field goal range,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: and that's where we were. Yeah, So I mean it's
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: not like a gimme field goal. No, I mean, it's
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: certainly not like.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: An over forty five. It'd have been over forty.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, anywhere, but anywhere around that forty yards. So if
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: they're in that, if they're in that range anywhere between
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: like a thirty five and a forty five yard field goal,
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: always have to kind of be alert in the back
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: of your head that in a two minute situation or
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: an into the game situation, be ready for pressure. Why
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: because the defense wants to sack you and put you
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: out a field goal range.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd been right. I just looked it'd have been
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: a forty yard field goal.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: So every time that, every time that we run two minutes,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: it's always like, once you cross the fifty, be alert
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: for pressure because they're going to try to get.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: You out a field goal range.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: So we knew that there was chance, but in reality
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: we thought they're probably gonna play some sort of too
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: high safety, not going to give up the deep ball.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, blah blah blah. But we've worked on it before.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: If they line up at man dea man, take a
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: shot because the play is only going to last from
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: snap to throwt it's only gonnalast about four seconds, four
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: and a half seconds, half five sent whatever it is.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: So I'm damned if we didn't line up and they're
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: single high safety press man, which why are you pressing
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: on this even if you want a pressure? No reason
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: to press. I guess he's got He's a little bit
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: off on d bird, but still.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: There he is.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Bo birthday ball, Let's.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Go birthday boy, Happy birthday.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: Now we've talked about this about like your role in
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: that that play, which was obviously uber crucial. I think
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: you and Sean Jordan switched right.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Well, no, so we would have been we were supposed
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: to be an eye formation because it was less. Why
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: not we said split it, yeah, and you were like, hey,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: split back, So Paul's are right there today. We so
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: we had never like this wasn't in the playbook. Yeah,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: we did not have split backs, me and Sean Jordan,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Sean being the fullback, I'm the tailback here in this situation,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: So Sean's supposed to be in front of me in
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: a three point stance. I'm supposed to be like seven
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: and a half toes at seven and a half. But
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: because Flynn saw pressure, he knew it was coming, he
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: told us to split. So this this formation did not
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: exist in our playbook. But if I was at seven
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: yards Sean was at five, Sean would have had an
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: easy time. He'd have been okay picking up that blitzer
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: off of the right side. But I would have had
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: some trouble because the guy that I had to pick
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: up was coming straight through the A gap. So if
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: he's coming right through the A gap, I'm at seven
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: and a half, I've got to try to go around Flynn,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: not knock matt off his drop back or kind of
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: getting his eyesight to pick up this blitzing linebacker and
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: it had just been a tough block.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And so it was one of those situations that
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: you like this reason you work on it because you
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: expect things. So like, because we knew of the area
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: of the field we were, we could expect maybe they
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: pressure us to knock us out of field guard range.
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: Maybe they don't.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: But let's split it because I know him under center.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: And there's nothing worse than having a free rusher at
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: you in a back having to like go around your
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: back foot.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Because you know you can flip each other.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: It happens in practice, your feet clip, something weird could
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: happen and you won't avoid it. So split black, Uh,
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: split backs. Nobody thinks we're gonna run it. So we're
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: not trying to like we're not putting on a facade.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: We're not running this, we're not running power. Yeah, because
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: there's nothing more like uh. Alone on an island as
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: a quarterback when you're under under center and there's a
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: linebacker that is in the A gap or the B
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: gap looking right at your face like we're making eye
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: contact and usually he's like frothing at the mouth because
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: defensive people are animals. And you know that he's unblocked.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: You know that the guard in the center are just
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: gonna like pretend he's not even there. They're just gonna
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: go there always and block their guys. And you know
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: the back has to have your back, yeah.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Because you're gonna part the red sea. And then it
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: gives the linebacker a three way go and if I'm
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: trying to avoid you get back into the rush lane.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: It becomes a lot of different ways I can lose.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you stood up. You punched him right in
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: the face with your face.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: It's the only move I have.
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: So there you go. Y'all were nervous.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: We weren't not nervous at all.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: You know who was nervous, it will must Champ.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah he was. I still can't believe he brought pressure
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: the the corners didn't like immediately bail and try to
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: keep everything in front of them. Shocking.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: I remember that so much. Shame.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: Obviously was part of an incredible run and incredible coaching
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: staff here at l s U.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: A guy that.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Recruited both of us out of high school. And then
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: of course he makes his coaching journey, and just like
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: all coaches do, they're gonna be at multiple different places,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: especially at assistant coaches that have, you know, want to
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: be head coaches. And so he's the defensive coordinator there
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: at Auburn that year and No. Seven and so were
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: I remember playing, Uh there was a third down or
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: something and I scramble out, run up the sideline, get
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: the first down and you know, run out of bounds
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: for hit or whatever. And I see you know that
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: the Classic it was almost the same thing, Remember the
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: the clip of saving and must Champ getting Linel turned.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: It was almost the same thing, but the other way.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Yelling at his guys because I like scrambled out and
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: he's I'm not gonna say the F words, but he
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: was basically saying, break his legs, break his legs, break
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: his m F legs.
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: If he tries to run.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: Will Will And I was like, hey, Bud, where you
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: to go to sit in my living room when I
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: was a high school kid, telling him.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: That you told Alvin and Ruth all those sweet nothings.
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: Now you're trying to break my legs.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what Will said to me to close
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: out our number one of o TV off the bench,
