2:23
Speaker 2: It did?
2:24
Speaker 4: It was so funny. Matt had his little notebook and
2:27
Speaker 4: he'd go in there in the main room and he'd
2:29
Speaker 4: be taking little little.
2:30
Speaker 2: Notes, jotting some things down. Yeah I wouldn't. I was
2:33
Speaker 2: just drawing pictures.
2:35
Speaker 4: Did you get anything worthwhile while drawing said notes?
2:39
Speaker 7: Uh?
2:41
Speaker 1: Not?
2:41
Speaker 6: Really like a lot of the stuff I was doing
2:43
Speaker 6: in those meetings. I was listening because I enjoyed listening
2:45
Speaker 6: to like the coaches give their state of address and
2:50
Speaker 6: listening to reporters give questions. I enjoyed like laughing at
2:54
Speaker 6: the bad questions and then saying, oh, good questions are
2:57
Speaker 6: the good questions?
2:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, our guy Marler got a good question. But I
3:02
Speaker 2: was also like during it, I was also had my.
3:05
Speaker 6: Little Lindy's magazine out, and I was also doing chat JPT,
3:09
Speaker 6: jotting down notes of like the teams that were coming
3:12
Speaker 6: the next day. So I was prepping, getting ready, learning
3:15
Speaker 6: like the quarterback and head coaches names.
3:17
Speaker 4: Did you ever raise your hand?
3:19
Speaker 6: I did not raise my hand. I just didn't think
3:24
Speaker 6: the room was ready for for me to like drop
3:29
Speaker 6: that heat on him.
3:32
Speaker 2: Fair enough?
3:32
Speaker 4: Anybody impress you? Yeah, Shane, Okay, love Shane. It does
3:38
Speaker 4: feel like Shane Beemer is perfect to be the South
3:43
Speaker 4: Carolina head coach.
3:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like there's there's coaches that that match up with
3:47
Speaker 5: whatever program they're at, and he feels like he is
3:51
Speaker 5: the best guy to be that coach for that school.
3:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:54
Speaker 6: The way he talks, kind of the attitude he brings
3:59
Speaker 6: very well Paul, but like also comes off as very
4:03
Speaker 6: relatable and kind of like I'd have a beer with you.
4:06
Speaker 6: But he's also like polishing the same and the same
4:08
Speaker 6: breath like cosmetically just fits. I don't even know how
4:13
Speaker 6: to put my finger on that one. He just like
4:15
Speaker 6: looks the part to me. Yeah, I don't know, But
4:18
Speaker 6: I came away impressed with that. I just I came
4:20
Speaker 6: away from him. He did his job when he was talking,
4:23
Speaker 6: because I was like, I don't know, South Carolina can
4:26
Speaker 6: win this thing, right, They're gonna make a run to
4:28
Speaker 6: do they gonna make the final four here?
4:30
Speaker 2: I don't know.
4:31
Speaker 6: That was that was one of my takeaways from it.
4:33
Speaker 6: I was like, he did his job because like, even
4:35
Speaker 6: I'm believing the hype right now, I got it.
4:37
Speaker 2: I'm here.
4:38
Speaker 4: That's what media days, that's really It's one of the
4:40
Speaker 4: main things that it's for is to create a hype train.
4:44
Speaker 5: And it happens every single year. It doesn't matter where
4:46
Speaker 5: media Day is, it doesn't matter the situation. There's gonna
4:49
Speaker 5: be teams that you didn't really feel great about going
4:52
Speaker 5: into media Day and you leave feeling fantastic about or
4:56
Speaker 5: at least like you get you feel better about them,
4:58
Speaker 5: and I would say different tiers, but there's a lot
5:04
Speaker 5: of people high on L s U, a ton of
5:06
Speaker 5: people high on to like win it. And then I
5:10
Speaker 5: would say the two Darling teams were Oklahoma and Florida.
5:15
Speaker 5: Every room that I went in, no matter the schedule,
5:19
Speaker 5: because they're both brutal, people are talking about those two
5:22
Speaker 5: teams and Jeometerier and DJ Lagway and what they could do.
5:27
Speaker 5: I mean, there were some people like I think Doring
5:29
Speaker 5: has them going like Oklahoma ten and two. I'm like,
5:33
Speaker 5: I think they're they're pretty good. I think Jeometeriers and two.
5:38
Speaker 4: Ten and two. I was like, I think it's going
5:41
Speaker 4: to translate.
5:41
Speaker 2: I learned a lot about Dora in this trip. It
5:43
Speaker 2: was my first time meeting them.
5:45
Speaker 4: So everything is advertised everything.
5:48
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not like things aren't even advertised. They
5:51
Speaker 2: are there. So he is what you see one.
5:59
Speaker 6: Or yeah exactly, but yeah, you're right, Like every time
6:02
Speaker 6: I was hearing because that that was like a big question.
6:04
Speaker 6: Every show is asking every time a camera who's your
6:07
Speaker 6: sleeper this year? And I was like, well, they asked me,
6:11
Speaker 6: and I was like I don't know, Like what are
6:13
Speaker 6: you what are you talking about? I think I panicked
6:14
Speaker 6: one time it said Auburn for some reason. I think
6:18
Speaker 6: I have no idea, but that was a big thing.
6:21
Speaker 6: And then I kept hearing Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Oklahoma, and I
6:25
Speaker 6: that's kind of who I wanted to, like say as well.
6:27
Speaker 2: After like just diving into.
6:30
Speaker 6: More because I do like myteria and I am really
6:34
Speaker 6: excited to do a quarterback breakdown of him later on
6:37
Speaker 6: in the season because I really want to dive into
6:39
Speaker 6: his film.
6:41
Speaker 5: He's I told you, he's like a mix of you
6:43
Speaker 5: and Baker Mayfield. That's the best way I can describe,
6:47
Speaker 5: like the way he carries himself, kind of his size
6:49
Speaker 5: and demeanor.
6:51
Speaker 4: He's got something to it.
6:53
Speaker 2: You work out you one hundred and fifty push ups
6:55
Speaker 2: to day hash to hash to.
6:59
Speaker 6: I think the lead impressive person I heard speak well,
7:03
Speaker 6: hold on, let me let me back up, Let me
7:05
Speaker 6: back up.
7:07
Speaker 2: Jeff Levy, real person.
7:10
Speaker 6: Realfirmed, confirmed impressive person, big dude, and really enjoyed our
7:19
Speaker 6: conversation with I know I didn't have the balls to
7:23
Speaker 6: ask him, like to like touch his leg, like make
7:26
Speaker 6: sure he was real.
7:28
Speaker 2: Didn't have the balls.
7:29
Speaker 5: He's actually I think he's the only head coach we had. Yeah,
7:33
Speaker 5: because the morning show, it's not it's not a juice
7:37
Speaker 5: fest up there. Energy, not a lot of energy.
7:41
Speaker 4: He just kind of roaming around.
7:42
Speaker 6: It's just there's like one show on when we get there,
7:46
Speaker 6: Like there's the Atlanta Sports Show that was like right
7:48
Speaker 6: next to us.
7:49
Speaker 2: So literally in this whole College Football Hall of Fame,
7:53
Speaker 2: it makes like a square.
7:54
Speaker 6: It makes like a square around like the main stage,
7:57
Speaker 6: like below us, there's one people talk, one group talking,
8:01
Speaker 6: and that was them, yeah, and then it was us.
8:03
Speaker 4: Yeah.
8:04
Speaker 6: So not a lot of juice, not a lot of
8:05
Speaker 6: people walking around up there. But yeah, we got you know,
8:08
Speaker 6: we started out the show with the quarterback, So I
8:12
Speaker 6: guess my new sleeper now that we're talking about it, Mississippi.
8:15
Speaker 2: State, watch out.
8:17
Speaker 5: You did have to talk nice about Shreveport evangel too,
8:21
Speaker 5: sort of did I talk nice?
8:22
Speaker 4: I think you did? I think he did.
8:25
Speaker 5: Uh So, I'm sure Tatay did a great job going
8:27
Speaker 5: over this yesterday. But to win the SEC Championship, the
8:32
Speaker 5: SEC preseason media poll, it goes like this, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, LSU,
8:39
Speaker 5: South Carolina, Oklahoma, Vandy, Florida, Tennessee, Ole, miss and Auburn
8:45
Speaker 5: now Tennessee Ole miss Auburn only receiving one vote, Vanderbilt
8:49
Speaker 5: in Florida, two, Oklahoma three, South Carolina five.
8:53
Speaker 4: But there is a clear top tier in the media's mine.
8:57
Speaker 5: In the SEC, it is Texas, Georgia, Alabama and LSU
9:02
Speaker 5: ninety six, forty four, twenty nine and twenty first place votes.
9:06
Speaker 5: When you go from LSU to South Carolina, it goes
9:09
Speaker 5: from twenty all the way down to five.
9:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you kind of brought it up too, they're
9:13
Speaker 6: LSU was the bell of the ball atc media everywhere
9:17
Speaker 6: you every person, you don't know how I feel about that.
9:20
Speaker 6: I don't know how I feel. But then I see
9:22
Speaker 6: these votes. It's from the same people that were talking
9:23
Speaker 6: about them all week. Like I thought everybody was saying,
9:26
Speaker 6: I got LSU beating Texas or LSU beating Georgia, or like,
9:30
Speaker 6: if anything, somebody beating LSU. Yeah, And so I saw
9:34
Speaker 6: this too, and I was like, that didn't like, that
9:36
Speaker 6: didn't jive with the things I was here in the
9:40
Speaker 6: entire time.
9:41
Speaker 5: Oh as far as LSU being all the way down
9:42
Speaker 5: at four, yeah, yeah, you're right, because everybody we talked
9:45
Speaker 5: to it was LSU, at least in the SEC championship game.
9:48
Speaker 5: It felt like, for sure, you feel like many people
9:51
Speaker 5: had them out. They do come in fourth here, and
9:53
Speaker 5: they're fourth in the overall predicted order of finish as well.
9:58
Speaker 4: I've got Texas and LSU. That's what I put on
10:01
Speaker 4: my ballot, Texas and LSU in the SEC championship game.
10:04
Speaker 4: I don't know.
10:04
Speaker 2: I didn't fell out about God, it's in your email.
10:09
Speaker 2: You didn't.
10:10
Speaker 4: You didn't check your email when they.
10:12
Speaker 2: Said, like, I got a lot of emails.
10:13
Speaker 5: You're a media member. Now you can fill out this ballot.
10:17
Speaker 5: You can go first team, second team quarterback.
10:22
Speaker 6: I did, but I got real sensitive spam checkers on
10:26
Speaker 6: my email. I gotta block out the noise.
10:30
Speaker 4: So when you heard it, like you heard us talking
10:32
Speaker 4: about it, you're just like, ah, that's not me, that
10:35
Speaker 4: sending me one.
10:36
Speaker 2: Plenty of people are gonna vote.
10:38
Speaker 6: I tell you what, LS, you would have had twenty
10:40
Speaker 6: one total votes, well still would have been in fourth,
10:45
Speaker 6: so it wouldn't matter.
10:47
Speaker 2: My vote didn't matter.
10:48
Speaker 4: Loser mentality there. I don't like that at all.
10:51
Speaker 5: First team quarterback was not great ness Meyer and I
10:54
Speaker 5: think I saw every show talk about this yesterday, but
10:57
Speaker 5: it was Leonora Sellers South Carolin LSU actually doesn't have
11:03
Speaker 5: anyone on the first team offense.
11:05
Speaker 2: Now.
11:06
Speaker 5: Gary Nessmeyer was the second team quarterback, Cayden Durham was
11:10
Speaker 5: the second team running back. Aaron Anderson was a second
11:13
Speaker 5: team receiver, so they were well represented on the second team,
11:17
Speaker 5: but no player on the first team, including Gary Nessmeyer.
11:21
Speaker 5: Any surprise that Leonora Sellers gets the top spot.
11:28
Speaker 6: I guess when you look at it from like just
11:30
Speaker 6: geographically of all the folks that were there, No, it's
11:35
Speaker 6: not any surprise because I do think Lenoris is has
11:38
Speaker 6: the potential like be a guy like like a like
11:41
Speaker 6: a big time bolster himself up to a first round
11:46
Speaker 6: pick after this season, and just look really damn impressive.
11:52
Speaker 4: It looks like an edge rusher when he walks in.
11:54
Speaker 2: The like the eyeball test check and check right.
11:57
Speaker 6: So I can get kind of like that since like
12:02
Speaker 6: you're voting two days after you just saw him physically
12:04
Speaker 6: and like he impressed you as just like a statue,
12:08
Speaker 6: like as just a human being.
12:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was I don't make sure I missed anybody,
12:13
Speaker 4: but three guys that come to mind. He was one.
12:18
Speaker 5: DJ Lagway was another, and Taylor Green from Arkansas was
12:21
Speaker 5: another like of the quarterbacks, and I'm like, I was
12:25
Speaker 5: not familiar with your game, yep, and that. Like DJ
12:29
Speaker 5: Lagway walked into the room, They're like, how tall are you?
12:32
Speaker 2: He's like six three.
12:33
Speaker 5: I was like, my guy, you passed six three up
12:36
Speaker 5: six years ago, like because Dusty the war check it
12:39
Speaker 5: was with us. He's six three and Dusty was looking
12:41
Speaker 5: up to him. DJ Lagway was a large human.
12:45
Speaker 6: I believe, I believe I'm gonna get this band correct.
12:47
Speaker 6: But in the words of ninety eight degrees, God must
12:51
Speaker 6: have spent you.
12:52
Speaker 4: Got it wrong.
12:54
Speaker 5: I okay, a couple of things here. Respect though I
12:57
Speaker 5: respect you pulling out ninety eight degrees. I think that's
13:00
Speaker 5: deep cut.
13:00
Speaker 4: It's not in sync. It's not the bactory boy.
13:02
Speaker 2: It wasn't Nila.
13:04
Speaker 4: No, that is in sync.
13:06
Speaker 2: It was ah God, I'm so disappointed in myself. That's insane,
13:11
Speaker 2: all right. I appreciate all the time.
13:14
Speaker 4: I appreciate the effort cut off on my first team defense.
13:19
Speaker 5: Lsu Witweeks was on the first team, the second team,
13:23
Speaker 5: Harrold Perkins, and then no player on the third team.
13:27
Speaker 5: You did have a couple of specialists, Barrian Brown, return specialists,
13:32
Speaker 5: Xavian Thomas was all purpose on the second team. Return
13:36
Speaker 5: specialist Thomas on the third team as well, so he
13:39
Speaker 5: actually got second and third team in different positions.
13:42
Speaker 4: So LSU well represented. But I think the main thing
13:45
Speaker 4: was going to be Garrett Smeier not being QB one
13:48
Speaker 4: on the first team.
13:49
Speaker 6: But like, obviously we would have had a first team, right,
13:53
Speaker 6: we think he's going to be the best. But I
13:55
Speaker 6: get the vote on the timing of when it happened.
13:58
Speaker 6: There's a lot of hype. Shame did a great job.
14:00
Speaker 6: Like I said, even I was on the like the
14:02
Speaker 6: hype train of South Carolina, so I think everybody probably
14:05
Speaker 6: felt the same way that I did.
14:08
Speaker 2: And then you just see him physics. So like I
14:10
Speaker 2: get the vote going the way it did when it did.
14:13
Speaker 6: Now, if we were to vote like a week ago,
14:16
Speaker 6: two weeks ago, maybe it's a little bit different. Maybe
14:19
Speaker 6: a little closer to the season you start analyzing just
14:22
Speaker 6: the football play and everything like that, maybe those bols
14:24
Speaker 6: would change.
14:25
Speaker 2: But I get it.
14:27
Speaker 5: Arch Manning was the third team quarterback in case you uh,
14:30
Speaker 5: in case you missed that as well.
14:32
Speaker 4: Arc who Arc Manning? How do you spell that? A
14:35
Speaker 4: ar ch arc position? Running back?
14:43
Speaker 2: Yeah?
14:43
Speaker 4: Sol, can you ask that anymore. Is that okay? Is
14:48
Speaker 4: that okay? Arch was fine, Like he came in with
14:52
Speaker 4: us and as serious, and he was fine. He was good.
14:54
Speaker 4: He was you could tell he'd been coached up.
14:56
Speaker 2: He was polished.
14:57
Speaker 4: He wouldn't go to say anything crazy. He said, uh,
15:02
Speaker 4: Archie his grandfather obviously was like, yeah, keep it short
15:05
Speaker 4: and sweet and be respectful. And that was like his advice.
15:07
Speaker 4: And he did that. That's exactly what he did. But
15:10
Speaker 4: he didn't do He didn't do the entire car wash.
15:16
Speaker 5: He didn't do Marty and McGee, which everybody, I think
15:19
Speaker 5: everybody outside of Arch did quarterback wise, he's the only
15:24
Speaker 5: one that didn't.
15:25
Speaker 2: So he didn't do Flynn.
15:26
Speaker 4: He did not do Hester and Flynn. Although there in
15:30
Speaker 4: the afternoon.
15:33
Speaker 6: These people just need to know, like if you just
15:34
Speaker 6: want like a good fun combo for a little bit,
15:38
Speaker 6: a little breakaway from getting shelled by random dumb questions,
15:46
Speaker 6: come see us.
15:47
Speaker 5: I will say this, I truly believe, and I had
15:51
Speaker 5: commissioners saying you twice. I think we had his favorite
15:57
Speaker 5: interview of the week.
15:58
Speaker 6: There's no doubt he was a part of that. I man,
16:01
Speaker 6: I feel that man has got to take Oh my
16:04
Speaker 6: god question, He's.
16:05
Speaker 4: Like, so I can put it on autopilot. Yeah.
16:08
Speaker 2: We were like, absolutely, you can't do like I don't
16:11
Speaker 2: know what favorite food.
16:13
Speaker 3: Oh.
16:14
Speaker 4: We asked that man how he picks out his clothes
16:16
Speaker 4: every day, and he was loving talking.
16:18
Speaker 6: About Look to me, that was one of the probably
16:21
Speaker 6: the best questions of anybody in SEC media day, Like
16:24
Speaker 6: thank everybody would resonate with that question, like how do
16:30
Speaker 6: you pick out your clothes? You got every color represented
16:33
Speaker 6: here at SEC. You're gonna piss somebody off. Yep, what's
16:36
Speaker 6: the thought process? A great question?
16:37
Speaker 2: Green always go green, he said. I think you said
16:41
Speaker 2: yellow a lot.
16:42
Speaker 4: He said.
16:42
Speaker 5: He said, blue and yellow. That's our colors. That's our
16:45

19:51
Speaker 2: that all week, but yeah, I know I did.
19:57
Speaker 8: I was telling you all this morning. Yeah it was.
20:01
Speaker 8: It was just like a.
20:03
Speaker 3: Was.
20:04
Speaker 2: It was definitely aim for sure.
20:07
Speaker 8: He didn't even realize he said it.
20:09
Speaker 3: He was like when I say, yeah, I had a
20:12
Speaker 3: little migra, I'm telling you it's starting to go away
20:15
Speaker 3: a little bit, but I'm good. Uh. UFC three eighteen
20:18
Speaker 3: was awesome. It was definitely one of my favorite things
20:22
Speaker 3: that I've ever done, like in my life. Like it
20:25
Speaker 3: was like omaha, and then UFC three eighteen are like
20:28
Speaker 3: top two for sure, and it's like one A, one
20:31
Speaker 3: B and uh. Yeah it was awesome and to be
20:34
Speaker 3: there for like Dustin's last fight and it was a
20:38
Speaker 3: good fight win. It wasn't the result we wanted, but
20:42
Speaker 3: it was awesome. It was a good really good We
20:45
Speaker 3: were talking about this yesterday. Is a really good way
20:47
Speaker 3: for him to go out, and even though he did
20:49
Speaker 3: lose his last two fights, they were really good ones
20:52
Speaker 3: against good opponents that really like solidified how much of
20:57
Speaker 3: a legend in the sport he is, So it was awesome.
21:01
Speaker 8: I did not expect.
21:03
Speaker 3: I didn't know where I was going to be sitting,
21:04
Speaker 3: you asked me, yeah, and I was like, I don't know.
21:07
Speaker 3: I think probably in the press box. And then I
21:10
Speaker 3: get there and they're like you're this way on the
21:13
Speaker 3: floor and I was like, there's no way. And then
21:15
Speaker 3: I get there and my name's like on the table,
21:18
Speaker 3: and I was like, this is crazy, Like it was
21:24
Speaker 3: insane tickets. So I got Yeah, I took a shot
21:30
Speaker 3: in the dark, and I got myself. I didn't even
21:33
Speaker 3: like I didn't And then I let Matt know.
21:35
Speaker 8: I was like, hey, I just.
21:36
Speaker 3: Applied for one, just a heads up in case you
21:38
Speaker 3: get an email or whatever, but uh yeah, I just
21:42
Speaker 3: I kind of just did it, not expecting to even
21:44
Speaker 3: get approved for it. But I'm glad I did because
21:47
Speaker 3: it was awesome, and uh yeah, I want to go
21:51
Speaker 3: to like more UFC stuff.
21:52
Speaker 4: You have the bug now? Oh yeah.
21:54
Speaker 3: I was telling Matt yesterday that, like, I was so close,
21:59
Speaker 3: the shots sounded so brutal, like with the leg kicks
22:03
Speaker 3: or whatever, like they sounded so brutal. And then I
22:06
Speaker 3: could see every time they got hit their sweat like
22:10
Speaker 3: flying off of them.
22:10
Speaker 8: It was awesome, Like it was seriously.
22:13
Speaker 2: Did you go for the like there?
22:18
Speaker 8: I got there like six, So what was the most
22:20
Speaker 8: uh So.
22:21
Speaker 6: I've never been to the like a like a big times.
22:23
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say, like seat George. And it's my takeaways
22:27
Speaker 6: always like it's more way more violent in person, because
22:30
Speaker 6: like you said, you hear that, you hear the body shots,
22:33
Speaker 6: you hear people like hit the four. Yeah, they get
22:36
Speaker 6: knocked out, whatever it is. And what was the most
22:38
Speaker 6: like violent bloody thing that you saw in a fight?
22:44
Speaker 8: I don't know.
22:44
Speaker 3: So like Max was pretty beat up, like he had
22:48
Speaker 3: some Yeah, Max was, he looked So we were also
22:52
Speaker 3: talking about this yesterday, Like Max won every round except
22:55
Speaker 3: for maybe round two of that fight, Like round two
22:58
Speaker 3: was probably Dustin's best round, but like Max looked worse
23:03
Speaker 3: face wise than Dustin did. But there was a one
23:08
Speaker 3: knockout in the prelims that I saw that I was like, oh,
23:11
Speaker 3: that was kind of brutal, like and because I love
23:13
Speaker 3: when they go for the finish like they're hurt, and
23:16
Speaker 3: like they could tell they're hurt, so they go for
23:18
Speaker 3: the finish and they just start like nailing them with
23:21
Speaker 3: punches and they have to like call it off or whatever.
23:24
Speaker 3: But there was one I don't remember who it was,
23:25
Speaker 3: but there was one in the prelims that was a
23:27
Speaker 3: knockout that was pretty brutal. And then I think there
23:29
Speaker 3: was a tap too. So like all the finishes were
23:32
Speaker 3: in the prelims. Uh, the main card was all decisions.
23:36
Speaker 4: Good have tried to finish him instead of jumped the gilly?
23:39
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so, but like he lives and dies
23:43
Speaker 8: by it.
23:43
Speaker 4: So and he submitted like before, like but like Max
23:47
Speaker 4: had no guard. He heard it, he heard him, hands
23:50
Speaker 4: were both on the ground. He could have he could have.
23:52
Speaker 3: Went for the finish, And so they asked him that
23:55
Speaker 3: after the fight. They were like, do you regret jumping
23:57
Speaker 3: the gilly instead of just finishing him when he was hurt?
24:00
Speaker 3: And he was like no, I thought that was gonna
24:02
Speaker 3: be the one. And I was like, dude, you play
24:04
Speaker 3: too much. I was like, you could have.
24:06
Speaker 4: Knows like he was trying to get like that's the
24:08
Speaker 4: way he wanted everything to finish, and I get it.
24:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, So when that was happening, I started you can't record,
24:15
Speaker 3: like if you're in the media or whatever in the
24:19
Speaker 3: like little media area, you can't record the fight while
24:22
Speaker 3: it's actually happening, right, You can between rounds, but you
24:25
Speaker 3: can't record like the actual fighting are very Yeah, So
24:31
Speaker 3: whenever Dustin had him hurt, I started recording the crowd
24:35
Speaker 3: because I was like, oh, if he gets him, the
24:37
Speaker 3: crowd is going to pop like crazy. So like I
24:41
Speaker 3: got a kind of cool video of that, but like
24:43
Speaker 3: he ended up not but yeah, other than that, like
24:45
Speaker 3: it was, it was amazing, even though he did lose.
24:48
Speaker 3: And uh when he put the gloves down and they
24:50
Speaker 3: were playing Frank Sinatra's My Way, Yeah, and they were
24:54
Speaker 3: also showing like before the fight video montages up there, and.
24:57
Speaker 8: I just like had the chills the entire time.
25:00
Speaker 4: I bet that was awesome.
25:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was.
25:01
Speaker 4: You got the bug.
25:02
Speaker 5: Now there's gonna be like a UFC and San Jose
25:05
Speaker 5: and they're like somebody from Baton Rougees trying to get
25:08
Speaker 5: a credential here, right, and I'm gonna do it, like
25:14
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I mean.
25:17
Speaker 4: Actually, I bet I bet if you put Louisiana sports
25:20
Speaker 4: dot Net like with it having just like the Louisiana name,
25:23
Speaker 4: like covering the entire state.
25:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, so Matt was like, if they don't want
25:28
Speaker 3: the one O four five one. You can put dot
25:30
Speaker 3: net on there, but I got it with one four
25:32
Speaker 3: five ESPN. But yeah, it was it was great.
25:36
Speaker 2: We are the fighters now that you will you would
25:40
Speaker 2: travel to go see now that you got I.
25:42
Speaker 3: Would go see Ilio Taporia for sure his next fight,
25:46
Speaker 3: especially if it's with Patty because I love both of them,
25:49
Speaker 3: Like both of them are my fades.
25:53
Speaker 2: Some kind of some cringey trash talk last time and.
25:55
Speaker 8: The Yeah, I was like, cool, I do love that.
26:01
Speaker 3: Joe's like Joe Rogan was like, oh, I know who
26:04
Speaker 3: you're talking about. I called him into the ring, but
26:10
Speaker 3: at all I wish he was there on Saturday. But
26:14
Speaker 3: Daniel Cormier was on the yes and yeah, yeah, for sure,
26:20
Speaker 3: i'd go see Ay. I did meet this guy from Paris.
26:25
Speaker 3: He was like with a sports organization over there, and
26:29
Speaker 3: well this is I was telling Taylor to like everybody
26:32
Speaker 3: that I met in the media was super cool, like
26:35
Speaker 3: the they were awesome.
26:37
Speaker 8: Uh and I don't feel like that's always the experience
26:40

27:34
Speaker 7: we we let it rip. Friday was fun, Yesterday a
27:37
Speaker 7: little bit more sports heavy. Friday was a little bit
27:39
Speaker 7: more lighthearted. But we had a great time. You know,
27:41
Speaker 7: it's weird.
27:42
Speaker 2: I woke up this morning.
27:43
Speaker 7: I was like, oh man, I don't have to hope

27:56
Speaker 7: we'll get to today.
27:58
Speaker 2: Jerry.
28:01
Speaker 5: Yeah.
28:03
Speaker 2: I wish Jerry Jones would get out you know what twitching,
28:05
Speaker 2: what's happening.
28:07
Speaker 4: Out of my life?
28:08
Speaker 9: Just get out of my life, Just get out of
28:11
Speaker 9: your life. What are you talking about the best player
28:13
Speaker 9: in your franchise? Unprompted by the way, they didn't ask him, Hey,
28:17
Speaker 9: what do you think about Michael Parsons injury concerns? He's like, well,
28:19
Speaker 9: you know, even if we sign him, are we really
28:21
Speaker 9: gonna have him? I mean, the guy missed six games
28:23
Speaker 9: last year? Jerry Like, why are you dumping on your franchise?
28:28
Speaker 5: Guy who you're in the middle of contract, always champions
28:32
Speaker 5: the Cowboys?
28:32
Speaker 2: Oh guess what price?
28:34
Speaker 4: Everything he's ever on, He's like, Cowboys, Cowboys, Calvin.
28:39
Speaker 6: We're talking about the Cowboys and Batan Urselis and I
28:41
Speaker 6: guess what they're doing in Seattle right now talking about
28:45
Speaker 6: the Cowboys. Guess they're doing in New York City talking
28:47
Speaker 6: about the Cowboys. Jerry Jones is a brilliant person. I
28:51
Speaker 6: heard an analogy of him recently and I loved it.
28:53
Speaker 6: He's like, he's the modern day P. T. Barnum, That
28:58
Speaker 6: son of a gun. Now we can sell a circus,
29:01
Speaker 6: Am I right? And he probably his goal. Here's the
29:05
Speaker 6: modern day P. T. Barnum And what he's doing is
29:09
Speaker 6: unbelievable because everybody saw and every it's every single year.
29:12
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter how bad they are, how good they are?
29:15
Speaker 6: They do something that everybody thinks is dumb or everything.
29:19
Speaker 6: Everyone thinks it's cringey or like bad business, but it's
29:22
Speaker 6: all amazing.
29:24
Speaker 2: Jerry.
29:24
Speaker 7: Jerry will say something, know what it's going to get
29:26
Speaker 7: traction and in my opinion, just stall processes. Hey, we're
29:30
Speaker 7: talking about in the media all the time and we
29:32
Speaker 7: continue to turn a profit. Did my job like you
29:34
Speaker 7: did your job as owner? Haven't done your job as
29:37
Speaker 7: g which is the major problem we are.
29:39
Speaker 2: In Jerry's world.
29:41
Speaker 4: Did you ever like, did you ever talk with the Cowboys?
29:44
Speaker 4: Come close to signing with the Cowboys?
29:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, in twenty fifteen, I went down there. So that
29:49
Speaker 6: was what we needed you that year too, So that
29:51
Speaker 6: that was the year that I was with Patriots forward
29:54
Speaker 6: the Flate gate.
29:55
Speaker 2: And then I was with the Jets when they screwed me. Yeah,
29:58
Speaker 2: yeah sweet mustard Jets.
30:00
Speaker 3: Uh.
30:00
Speaker 6: And then a couple of weeks ago yeah food man
30:03
Speaker 6: chew the four because I always like grew up some
30:05
Speaker 6: sort of facial hair out for the fourth pre season game,
30:07
Speaker 6: so I had mancher.
30:08
Speaker 2: I had these.
30:08
Speaker 6: Beautiful curly lots sticking out the back of my It
30:11
Speaker 6: looked like, uh, our guy in the towarter France, our
30:13
Speaker 6: American and the fan Quinn.
30:15
Speaker 2: I dropped some dimes and then I got cut the
30:17
Speaker 2: next day.
30:19
Speaker 6: And then I went and worked out for the Cowboys
30:23
Speaker 6: because I can't remember who the quarterback was.
30:26
Speaker 2: Well, we were four and twelve that year. Yeah, and
30:29
Speaker 2: Romo got hurt. Romo got hurt, I believe.
30:34
Speaker 7: I think it may have been Kyle Orton for a
30:36
Speaker 7: few games, and then it was it was like three
30:39
Speaker 7: guys was kind of the man and then I'll know,
30:42
Speaker 7: but this was this was the tale that he got hurt.
30:45
Speaker 6: And then there was about three We were thirty first
30:47
Speaker 6: in the league, and it was me, Christian Ponder, Josh Johnson,
30:51
Speaker 6: and something like the THEA something but they had two
30:56
Speaker 6: last names.
30:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so we all four last name. Guy got it.
31:02
Speaker 6: So we worked out and then we were like I
31:06
Speaker 6: was spending it good. They send everybody home. They keep
31:08
Speaker 6: me there talking about agent. I'm in the locker, I'm
31:11

Speaker 6: because I'd seen him like down at like I kind
31:30
Speaker 6: of knew him a little, seeing him at the beach.

Speaker 6: And then an hour turns into two hours, two hours
31:38
Speaker 6: turns into three hours, and I'm like like, what's happening?
31:41
Speaker 4: Right?
31:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like four hours later, me just sitting there, my
31:45
Speaker 6: agent calls me. It's like, hey, sending you back to

32:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:04
Speaker 7: You threw a five touchdown seven picks that year.
32:07
Speaker 2: Some bang up job there. So yeah, I was that
32:09
Speaker 2: close away to playing for my childhood and yeah, didn't

Speaker 2: Started for the Cowboys.
32:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, we gotta take a because we gotta take

32:30
Speaker 5: but agents do. They've been talking to teams because I
32:33

36:26
Speaker 4: It is football season. It is training camp. It is
36:31
Speaker 4: the suck of getting ready for a season, and that's.
36:34
Speaker 2: What time it is.
36:35
Speaker 4: And we have made it here.
36:37
Speaker 5: We've had media days, we've had talking season, but now
36:41
Speaker 5: having players getting ready for camp. Having coaches, you know,
36:44
Speaker 5: vacation is over. Our guests today are gonna tell us
36:48
Speaker 5: about camp and kind of that last little millisecond of
36:52
Speaker 5: a break before you get started, before it is over,
36:56
Speaker 5: before you shut the door, lock the door, and throw away.
36:59
Speaker 2: The yeah, the uh.
37:02
Speaker 6: It's the calm before the storm. Certainly for players, it's
37:07
Speaker 6: certainly a big calm before a big old storm. I mean,
37:11
Speaker 6: as a former player, me and Hesse are like man
37:14
Speaker 6: like the Saints they're reporting tomorrow. I'm sure most NFL
37:17
Speaker 6: teams are reporting the next couple of days. I think
37:20
Speaker 6: colleges are in like another week or so. I don't
37:25
Speaker 6: miss that feeling. No before training camp, which was a
37:31
Speaker 6: like remember what like as a kid you get nervous
37:33
Speaker 6: for games, like and you got butterflies in your seming.
37:35
Speaker 6: I never really got those like terribly when I was
37:37
Speaker 6: like later in college and the NFL mean you get
37:41
Speaker 6: eat up nerves, but like before training camp, it was
37:43
Speaker 6: like little literal nerves like going into because it's like
37:47
Speaker 6: I know what it's about to happen. Yeah, and me
37:50
Speaker 6: like less than anybody else being a quarterback, because like
37:53
Speaker 6: just the physical grind when they're hitting that.
37:57
Speaker 4: That part wasn't I didn't like that. I actually didn't
38:01
Speaker 4: mind that at all.
38:02
Speaker 5: Like the physical nature of training camp, even when we
38:05
Speaker 5: got into the league and it was old school two days,
38:08
Speaker 5: I didn't care about that. I just hated to be
38:11
Speaker 5: in there all damn day and staying in some random
38:14
Speaker 5: either dorm room or a hotel, some ramata in and
38:19
Speaker 5: you wake up at six, you're at the facility for
38:22
Speaker 5: six thirty, and you don't get back to your room
38:24
Speaker 5: until like ten, ten thirty. Yep, Like that's what I hated, like,
38:28
Speaker 5: especially like later in your career when you you know
38:31
Speaker 5: every like you know the playbook, you know the ins
38:34
Speaker 5: and outs, you know what it takes to get ready
38:36
Speaker 5: for the season, and it's like this is stupid.
38:39
Speaker 6: I hate yeah, just staying like in an uncomfortable place
38:42
Speaker 6: and turning camp schedules like meant to make you uncomfortable
38:45
Speaker 6: all the time.
38:45
Speaker 2: And then it's just your body's just not right.
38:47
Speaker 6: Like after the first day, you're sore, something's hurting, You're
38:52
Speaker 6: you're grinding all day in meetings, workouts, practices, walk throughs,
38:59
Speaker 6: and then oh yeah, like you're also sore as hell.
39:02
Speaker 6: So any free time you have you're in the training
39:04
Speaker 6: room either getting like active hands on treatment or in
39:09
Speaker 6: the tubs or doing something.
39:11
Speaker 2: So it's like there's never a down moment in training camp.
39:14
Speaker 6: Like maybe you get twenty minutes to like we would
39:18
Speaker 6: play like backgame or something in the locker room, like
39:20
Speaker 6: or a card game or something. You'd stay up a
39:23
Speaker 6: little bit later than you should because that's the only
39:26
Speaker 6: free time you had to like talk about something else
39:29
Speaker 6: or like a game or just like.
39:30
Speaker 5: Oh, we say you stay down there at snack, and
39:32
Speaker 5: you know that's that's really like those snack moments, at
39:36
Speaker 5: least for us and the teams I played for, Like
39:38
Speaker 5: that was the team bonding.
39:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly in San Diego.
39:41
Speaker 5: Like we would sit around a table and we'd all
39:43
Speaker 5: be you know, one last little snack and usually the
39:45
Speaker 5: special teams coaches down there stirring the pot and we'd have,
39:49
Speaker 5: you know, guys from all over the country and like, hey,
39:52
Speaker 5: how do you say this word where you're from?
39:54
Speaker 4: Well, why do you say it like that? That's stupid?
39:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're down. My high school team is better
39:59
Speaker 2: than your high school tea.
40:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, blah blah.
40:00
Speaker 6: But there's always that one or two coaches that love
40:03
Speaker 6: hearing themselves talk and we love telling stories about themselves,
40:06
Speaker 6: so like that always made for some good like either some.
40:11
Speaker 2: Some coaches told great stories and you just listened to.
40:14
Speaker 4: Was a great storytelling.
40:16
Speaker 5: He would tell John Gruden stories every day because he
40:18
Speaker 5: was with him when they were winning the Super Bowl.
40:20
Speaker 2: Yep. But it was like a snack and crushed some
40:23
Speaker 2: lucky charms at night.
40:25
Speaker 6: But yeah, we would play games afterwards too, so we'd
40:27
Speaker 6: always like get big games like cribbage just like I
40:30
Speaker 6: don't know. It was mostly in Green Bay, so we
40:32
Speaker 6: played like weird card games.
40:34
Speaker 4: And like, hey, look I just went to Green Bay.
40:37
Speaker 2: I get it. I learned how to play a lot
40:40
Speaker 2: of games up there.
40:43
Speaker 6: But right now, from this side of the table looking in, it's, yeah,
40:47
Speaker 6: we're kind of excited because we're so close to having
40:50
Speaker 6: like actual tangible things to talk about and break down
40:53
Speaker 6: and say this is good, this is bad. But it's
40:58
Speaker 6: gonna be a little while, even after training can start.
41:00
Speaker 6: It's like you're gonna see these little snippets of oh,
41:02
Speaker 6: Jary No, Smyter look good today, what do you mean,
41:04
Speaker 6: Like Brout's on air look good?
41:06
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean.
41:07
Speaker 6: That's that's cool and everything and I know that, like Saints,
41:10
Speaker 6: practice is going to be open and so we will
41:12
Speaker 6: have things to break down them. But really until those
41:16
Speaker 6: games started, preseason games, it's like we're so close to
41:19
Speaker 6: having that. Yeah, like I said, the tangible things to
41:23
Speaker 6: actually sit here break down next as and no'se but
41:26
Speaker 6: so fired up, Like I'm just football season is.
41:29
Speaker 2: Just like on the brink.
41:30
Speaker 5: We're so some teams are already in camp. Some teams
41:34
Speaker 5: in the NFL. I know the Chargers, they have the
41:36
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame game. They're already in camp.
41:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, played that, No, I didn't mean they played in
41:42
Speaker 6: it like I think the year or two after I
41:43
Speaker 6: had left Green Bay because Brett Farr was going getting
41:47
Speaker 6: inducted it.
41:48
Speaker 4: Then, right, this is for Antonio Gates, so they know.
41:52
Speaker 6: And for those of y'all who don't know the two
41:54
Speaker 6: teams that play, I'm pretty sure every time or usually
41:57
Speaker 6: they have it.
41:57
Speaker 4: This time, this time it's just one. They're playing allions.
42:00
Speaker 4: But yeah, typically it's.
42:02
Speaker 6: Typically both teams have somebody being inducted. That's why they're
42:05
Speaker 6: invited to play in that game and to celebrate, you know,
42:08
Speaker 6: one of those one or two of those people that
42:09
Speaker 6: are getting inducted. But that is a game that was
42:12
Speaker 6: nobody wanted to do because preseason games suck unless you're
42:19
Speaker 6: a guy that isn't supposed to make the team and
42:22
Speaker 6: you're trying to make the team.
42:23
Speaker 2: They're not fun. I get the purpose of them. I
42:26
Speaker 2: get the reason. But four was a lot. Yeah.
42:29
Speaker 6: Now, then when we were playing, you throw another one
42:31
Speaker 6: on there that made it five, like five games. People
42:35
Speaker 6: are putting their livelihoods and contracts on the line for
42:41
Speaker 6: what you get, like three four hundred bucks a week.
42:44
Speaker 6: They're in training game.
42:45
Speaker 2: For eighty four and eighty bucks a week. That's fine.
42:48
Speaker 2: It's like a scholarship check.
42:49
Speaker 4: Better for you than me.
42:51
Speaker 2: It's just like a scholarship.
42:53
Speaker 4: All right, we'll take a last break of hour number
42:55
Speaker 4: one again.
42:56
Speaker 5: We've got Will Clapp joining us in about twenty five
42:59
Speaker 5: minutes from now. Blake Baker right after that, stay locked
43:01
Speaker 5: in here to otb off the bench.
43:05
Speaker 2: All right.
43:05
Speaker 4: It is always a great time.
43:07
Speaker 2: To go forward.
43:08
Speaker 4: Dose, right, We talked about it all the time.
43:12
Speaker 5: Beach beer, lake beer, river beer, pull beer, whatever, right,

Speaker 6: gonna ask you to verify your age when you go

43:46
Speaker 6: moment for me. But it made Do Seki's memorable and
43:48
Speaker 6: it should be. You know what else made it memorable
43:50
Speaker 6: every time somebody saw us outside of the show. Yep,
43:53

45:03
Speaker 5: Like I was actually with the Saints about to go

Speaker 4: I'm done. You can't.
45:17
Speaker 5: You can't half step into an NFL season, And I
45:19
Speaker 5: knew that. I didn't want to be disrespectful to the Saints,
45:21
Speaker 5: so I was like.

Speaker 6: I'm done. I was done my last year or two.
45:26
