- 0:22SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to a new episode of the Johnny's World Podcast.
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: This is your host, BW, with you on this Halloween Eve.
- 0:29SPEAKER_01: I'm with my co-host Johnny.
- 0:31SPEAKER_01: Johnny, doing all right today?
- 0:33SPEAKER_01: Boo! Boo! Boo! Trick or treat.
- 0:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm doing good.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: Doing good.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: Just getting in the Halloween spirit, man.
- 0:41SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 0:42SPEAKER_00: Do y'all have any trick-or-treaters out at your place?
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: Uh, around the neighborhood we do, uh, at the lake, where all the houses are, but where I live, we don't have that many.
- 0:50SPEAKER_00: Um but yeah, usually uh in the past, I'd always uh ride around the lake, me and Bo and look at all the trick or treaters and stuff like that.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: So uh uh yeah they do, but I'm not sure what's gonna happen with that with the rain this year.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: But yeah, man, I'm thinking about if it doesn't rain, which I'm sure it will, but if it doesn't, think about hitting up Gordo, BW remember Gordo?
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, going over to Alabama?
- 1:14SPEAKER_02: That's good.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Gordo, they have a uh a haunted trail.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: So only night, a haunted trail.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: So uh I didn't get all my spooks in and at uh Halloween horror nights.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: I need to get one more in at the spooky haunted trail in Gordo, if it doesn't rain, of course, but um we'll try it out, so we'll see.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, yeah, it's funny.
- 1:33SPEAKER_01: I was we were driving back from Chattanooga last Saturday, and I was listening to our game, and it was horrible.
- 1:40SPEAKER_01: And I just I finally I just couldn't listen anymore.
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: And so I said, I gotta find some other game to listen to.
- 1:45SPEAKER_01: And so I started listening to the Bama game.
- 1:48SPEAKER_01: Um and they were talking about one of their players, he said it, they said he's from Reform, Alabama.
- 1:54SPEAKER_01: And I was thinking, man, I remember driving through there, Reform and Gordo, and if you're speeding in there, you're getting a ticket for sure.
- 2:01SPEAKER_01: And then they had the the boss hogs barbecue down there too, right?
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I love the boss hogs barbecue.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: Matter of fact, when I was in the hospital at UAB one time, uh a lady, the nurse came in and I was talking to her, and she's from Gordo, and her her uh her father was a uh or her husband was a cop and her father was a judge.
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: So I was like, Yep, that makes sense, makes sense.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Gordo, it's a speed trap for sure.
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: So uh I'm sure all the all the people putting the haunted house together in Gordo are probably law enforcement people.
- 2:32SPEAKER_01: Probably, yep.
- 2:34SPEAKER_01: Now it was boss hogs, it's in reform, right?
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: It's in reform, yeah.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: Okay, so right right before you get to it.
- 2:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: I don't think I ever actually ate in there because the timing was never right to eat there on the way to a game in in Tuscaloosa.
- 2:48SPEAKER_01: We always it'd be like too early in the morning or kind of be late or something like that.
- 2:52SPEAKER_01: Right, yeah.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: Excuse me.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, uh man, it's really good.
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: They actually uh they tore it down and then they built it back up uh a few years ago.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: So it's like you know, the one the one before, it was all like really old and all that sort of stuff.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: So one the one they have now is like current and up to date.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: And uh yeah, man, I'll stop on my way back from UAB and uh and get some meat there and take it home, man.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: It's so good.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: I really like your life.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: Ice, ice, yeah.
- 3:22SPEAKER_01: I mean, go we we go over there to the Alabama basketball game mostly every year when they played at Coleman Coliseum.
- 3:28SPEAKER_01: And right a couple times we went to Dreamland over there, we had some good food.
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Gordo and Reform.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: That's an interesting spot.
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: So uh hopefully I'll be able to go over there, but we'll just have to play it by air and see.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, uh it's it's that time of year where basketball is about to crank up, and I think we're all excited about that.
- 3:50SPEAKER_01: Looking forward to that more.
- 3:51SPEAKER_01: And um, y'all definitely stay tuned to our next podcast.
- 3:54SPEAKER_01: We have a we'll have a basketball-centric podcast dropping early next week, hopefully before the first game starts on Monday.
- 4:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're gonna put it out uh hopefully Monday morning, so you'll have it uh in time for the game to listen before the game starts Monday night.
- 4:07SPEAKER_00: And especially if you're coming up, you can come listen to it and uh it'll be really good and get you in the uh basketball mood because I think all of us bought all fans have kind of put football off designs in such a season, and and we're looking forward to basketball season, which we're supposed to be pretty good in basketball.
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: So uh so that gives us something to look forward to for sure.
- 4:27SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 4:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, looking forward to that.
- 4:29SPEAKER_01: And uh we won't give away who it is, but it's it's not me or Johnny.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: Johnny is talking to a uh a very important person affiliated with Mississippi State basketball, so we'll just say that.

- 5:49SPEAKER_00: Uh BW, before we get into the football talk, I have to uh I have to correct myself.
- 5:53SPEAKER_00: On the podcast last week, remember I talked about how I was like without tricaptor, there's no way I could have walked up to climb the uh slide that I did at the yeah.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: Well, in the podcast, I said there was 80-foot uh water, 80-foot tall water slide.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: Actually, BW, after looking it up and researching it, it was 125 feet.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: So it was the tallest water slide in North America.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: Uh so there's there's no elevator that goes up the top.
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: You literally have to climb up 125 feet.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: And man, I'll tell you, gosh, it was I only did it one time because it absolutely wore me out getting up to the very top.
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, up at the top, I mean, it literally the bottom, your bottom opens up and you just fall straight 125 feet in four seconds.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: It was insane.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: But uh, but talk a little bit about more about what I was able to do this time, which pre-trica.
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: No way I could have ever done it.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: So that was day one.
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: We did that.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: Day day two and day three.
- 6:54SPEAKER_00: We went to we went to all the park, uh, Universal and uh Island's Adventure, rode all the rides.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: Uh man, just walking, walking, walking, walking.
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: The haunted houses that we did at Halloween R nights Wednesday and Thursday night.
- 7:08SPEAKER_00: Uh, there's 10 haunted houses at each one.
- 7:10SPEAKER_00: I meant uh 10 haunted houses at the event.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: And uh, I mean, literally walking, walking.
- 7:16SPEAKER_00: And so one has a uh has a step counter on his watch, and uh we looked it up, BW.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: We we walked Wednesday night at the end of Wednesday night and at the end of Thursday night.
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: We looked 32,000 steps Wednesday, 32,000 steps Thursday.
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: We did well, Googled it, see how much that was.
- 7:35SPEAKER_00: That's about 15 miles.
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: So we walked in Wednesday and Thursday, we walked 30 miles, and then the day before that we walked eight miles total.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: So within three days, we walked 38 miles, man.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: No way I could have ever done that without TriCapta, man.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: And no, I mean that's tough for a normal person to do without a lung function that I have with CS.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: So uh dude, it was crazy 38 miles.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: Uh but man, the the cool part, uh, we did uh I guess the night, uh the last night, Thursday night, we went and and uh we ate and then we did the velocity.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: You're you've been the universal, right?
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know about the velocicoaster, the drastic.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: All right, so we ate, we went to we went so the park closes at eight.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: So we knew like if you got in line before eight, they can't cut you off because you're in line after eight, they cut it off.
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: So we get in line, it's moving pretty fast.
- 8:28SPEAKER_00: We do velocity coaster, we get off, and uh we're walking at we're gonna about to walk over to Allen Horner's.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: I look, it's 757.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: I was like, Man, we got three minutes.
- 8:39SPEAKER_00: We go jump back in line.
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: They literally closed the thing at eight o'clock.
- 8:43SPEAKER_00: So we were the on the last ride on Velocicoast, so we got to ride Velocicoaster two times within like 45 minutes, man.
- 8:51SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's crazy.
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: It was insane.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: Uh you know, last year I wrote it for the very first time, and I was like, Oh my gosh, it's like the scariest ride I've ever done.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: And then like this year, it's like I wanted to ride again and again and again.
- 9:05SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, one of those type of things, and it was awesome, so much fun.
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: We did the we did the Hulk, and Juan told me uh, I watched it yesterday.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: There's a movie called House on Haunted Hill that came out in the early 2000s, I think.
- 9:18SPEAKER_00: And uh it the very first scene, the guy is like uh owns an amusement park, and the Hulk that ride that as at Universal is in the movie, which is pretty.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: But uh man, we did those rides, dude.
- 9:30SPEAKER_00: It's so much better doing a ride at night, roller coaster at night, during the day, see all the um it's all lit up.
- 9:37SPEAKER_00: It's really cool.
- 9:37SPEAKER_00: We did Hagrid's, that's the one that I lost the Johnny Packer glasses on last year.
- 9:41SPEAKER_00: I learned this year, check everything, they don't have to worry about anything like that falling out.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: So yeah, everything locker did Hagrid's, it was awesome.
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: Uh, the one at Universal we did not do last year, but we did this year, was called uh Rip Ride Rocket, Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: It really goes straight up, it's like a 90-degree, it comes back down, then just goes all around.
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: So you can pick a song to play while you're riding up there.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: All right, it has different genres, country rap, uh, pop, all that sort of stuff.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: Well, the first time I rode it, I was playing, I pushed it, and it was uh Shana Twain, Feel Like a Woman was playing.
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: So like, let's go, girls.
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: We're going up to the top, and then yeah, by the end, it's like, man, it feels like a woman.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: I was like, Man, what the heck?
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: So we rode that during the day that day, and then we finished doing it uh the night on uh the Thursday night, and man, it was awesome riding it at night, so much fun.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: Uh, but man, they they squeeze you in that sucker, like you you can't move at all, which is that's what you want.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: But uh a lot of fun.
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: The houses we did the uh express pass again.
- 10:44SPEAKER_00: So Wednesday night, we were able to do all 10 houses.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: You walk it's worth it, man.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: You pay a little extra, but it's worth it.
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: You walk straight up, go right into the into the houses, and then you're out.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: Uh so Thursday night we didn't have the express pass, so we had to wait in line.
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: So we did about two houses.
- 10:59SPEAKER_00: So, I mean, if you don't have express pass, you're probably only able to do two or three.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: There's a wait till like over 100 minutes, and uh, but we were able to do them all really cool.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: They had a Ghostbusters haunted house, which is pretty neat.
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: Most of them, man, they're like, I know you don't like this type of stuff, BW, but I don't even think you would be scared, man, because it's like they're not scary at all.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: Uh, it's really you're going through it looking at now.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: If you're like if you're like a little kid, he might be scared, but for the most part, they're not really scary.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: Actually, we wanted them to jump out at us, and for some reason, I guess they knew we weren't scared or something, but they would never jump out right at us and jump out of the beach behind us.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: But it was really neat going through it, seeing the production put into it, seeing all the uh the costumes of fake blood, all this sort of stuff.
- 11:45SPEAKER_00: It's just real detail-oriented, and it's all organized, man.
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: That they have it, they have all the lines and express and everything.
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's just really, really props to them.
- 11:55SPEAKER_00: They have it real organized, but I'm sure they plan it right after.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: I'm sure they're already planning next year's and right after it ends this year.
- 12:03SPEAKER_00: They're they already do it.
- 12:04SPEAKER_00: But uh, pretty neat.
- 12:05SPEAKER_00: The houses are kind of themed for what's popular now.
- 12:08SPEAKER_00: Like last year, they had a Stranger Things and all that sort of stuff.
- 12:11SPEAKER_00: Uh, and then, like I said, this year was Ghostbusters after the new Ghostbusters movie, and uh really neat.
- 12:18SPEAKER_00: Um, so every year is a different one.
- 12:20SPEAKER_00: I didn't realize this.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: This is the 33rd year that they've done this thing, so pretty cool they've done it this long, but uh a lot of fun.
- 12:27SPEAKER_00: So I think me and Juan were gonna make this a tradition.
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: Hopefully, hopefully you and King, whoever else could join us one year.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: But uh, we're trying to do this every year.
- 12:36SPEAKER_00: It's a lot a lot of fun.
- 12:37SPEAKER_00: And uh, but yeah, man, I couldn't couldn't have done this trip at all without uh without TriCAFTA.
- 12:42SPEAKER_00: So uh very thankful for it and people listening to this.
- 12:46SPEAKER_00: Johnnypecker.net is helping people like that because there are people like me who can't take, I mean, there are people like me who FCF but cannot take this.
- 12:55SPEAKER_00: So they there's no way they could have done this trip like I just did.
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: I did it because thank God for TriCafta, but they don't have anything.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: So we're we're we're reaching out, trying to get support, trying to get dollars raised to help these people like that because they need it.
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: And I mean, it's just uh absolute miracle, changed my life, and uh just we're so so very thankful.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: So uh JohnnyPacker.net playing a small part and and helping something really major happen for for people that need it.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, one last thing too.
- 13:26SPEAKER_01: Uh about to pick them.
- 13:27SPEAKER_01: We got a new winner for this month.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: Pick'em.
- 13:29SPEAKER_01: Uh we owed them a bag of coffee.
- 13:31SPEAKER_01: I did send them an email um yesterday, have not gotten anything back from them.
- 13:36SPEAKER_01: Could be that it went to your spam folder.
- 13:38SPEAKER_01: So if you're listening, what's the username on there?
- 13:41SPEAKER_01: We know his name's Kurt, but what's the username?
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: Curtis is uh Curtis is his name, Curtis Weld, I believe.
- 13:47SPEAKER_00: Okay, username, I'm looking it up right now.
- 13:50SPEAKER_00: Curtis uh username is Bulldog 450.
- 13:54SPEAKER_01: Okay, Bulldog 50 Bulldog 450, Curtis Weld.
- 13:57SPEAKER_01: If anybody knows Bulldog 450 or Curtis Weld, tell him to check his spam folder on his email.
- 14:02SPEAKER_01: He's got an email from me asking him what kind of coffee he wants.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: So write me back.
- 14:08SPEAKER_00: We had we had mud bugs, so we never found out uh no hidden email address, won it for September.
- 14:15SPEAKER_00: Uh uh Kurt Weld won it for October, and we got one more winner and will be announced at the end of November after in the football season.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: So hopefully one of these three people at least uh will will do it because I mean that's kind of the point of playing and is uh trying to play you win something.
- 14:32SPEAKER_00: So uh, but it's like we say it's a cumulative game.
- 14:35SPEAKER_00: So uh just because we announced a winner that means doesn't mean it's over with.
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: We've got one more month, and you can still make a run for the top if you're if you're up there.
- 14:44SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 14:45SPEAKER_01: Well, speaking of run for the top, we are not running for much of the top of uh Mississippi State football.
- 14:52SPEAKER_01: Um the jukebox got turned up pretty early on us this week.
- 14:57SPEAKER_01: Defense couldn't stop a nosebleed.
- 14:59SPEAKER_01: It was it was pretty bad.
- 15:01SPEAKER_01: Um you know, I don't I don't know, Johnny.
- 15:04SPEAKER_01: A lot of what I'm listening to this week, everybody's is uh calling for the D coordinator said, uh Coleman and um you know I I agree something has to be done, but but I just think we're bad.
- 15:19SPEAKER_01: Um I don't know if it's his fault.
- 15:22SPEAKER_01: And I don't I don't really know how you keep him, but but I mean gosh, if he had a better if he had a better more talent, could he be a better defensive coordinator?
- 15:32SPEAKER_01: I have no idea.
- 15:33SPEAKER_01: So I I don't know what what what to do.
- 15:36SPEAKER_01: I I I'm fine either way.
- 15:38SPEAKER_01: I think I'm not gonna be upset if we keep him.
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: A lot of people are saying, you know, they're gonna lose faith in Levy if we do keep him.
- 15:45SPEAKER_01: I just I don't know.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: Uh I think it makes me miss uh hard hard to believe on saying this, but I think it makes me miss Zach Arnett.
- 15:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah, everyone was uh Zach Arnett destroyed the program, blah blah sort of which maybe you're right, maybe he did.
- 15:59SPEAKER_00: But as far as defensive coordinator, think about Mike Leach's first year.
- 16:03SPEAKER_00: Everyone was talking about aerator, and Mike Leach's offense can be awesome.
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: The defense outperformed the offense, and we had had Arnett as defensive coordinator.
- 16:12SPEAKER_00: So uh I think uh a lot of it is that uh Hutzler has never been a defensive coordinator before, so maybe he's over his head, but like you said, maybe we just don't have the have the talent on the defensive side of the ball.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: But man, they're awful, absolutely the worst defense I've ever seen.
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: Uh, we had uh some bad defenses.
- 16:29SPEAKER_00: I remember when we were in college, and and these guys, this this this unit is the worst of all.
- 16:34SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's just really bad.
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: And um, like I said, yeah, he definitely needs to be replaced.
- 16:40SPEAKER_00: Uh but but just because you replace him doesn't necessarily mean we're gonna be fantastic at defense.
- 16:46SPEAKER_00: It all goes back to the players.
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: If we don't have the players, what are you gonna do?
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: You know, so we're gonna think about recruiting and getting new guys in here.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: But I I am on the on the agreeing with with people about getting rid of him because first of all, he should have never been hired to begin with.
- 17:01SPEAKER_00: I know he's buddies with Levy, but uh he has no experience.
- 17:05SPEAKER_00: We have a head coach that's never had no head coaching experience, and then we're hiring a coordinator who has no coordinating experience.
- 17:10SPEAKER_00: I dumb as hell.
- 17:12SPEAKER_00: So uh need to get somebody that has a proven experience as a defensive coordinator.
- 17:17SPEAKER_00: Uh, not saying again, he I'd love to get Zach Arnett, but I know that should be selled, but get someone who was like Arnett, has experience as a defensive coordinator, and go from there.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: But right now it's just awful.
- 17:28SPEAKER_00: And and uh this game against UMass, I think we're favored by 20 or 17 points, 17 points.
- 17:34SPEAKER_00: That's all I also means UMass is just absolutely awful if we're that favored by that much over them.
- 17:42SPEAKER_00: And this the scary thing about it is uh I do think we'll put up a lot of points against UMass.
- 17:47SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure if our offense, offense isn't the problem this year, it's the defense, and uh I think we'll put up a lot of points, but man, the defense.
- 17:55SPEAKER_00: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised they give up a lot of points to to yeah, yeah, they they'll probably give up 28, 35, something like that.
- 18:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was listening to something yesterday, and they were talking about uh the 2016 Mississippi State team with Peter uh Sermon was Sermon or whatever his name was was the D coordinator, which was awful.
- 18:14SPEAKER_00: And we played Sanford that year, and we gave up uh like 30 or 40 something points, all these yards to Sanford, and we won.
- 18:22SPEAKER_00: And uh it was a disaster, and then and then Dan Mullen let him go after the season.
- 18:27SPEAKER_00: So I mean, I think we're looking at something like that.
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: We're gonna give up a lot of points, and but then this this unit is worse than Peter Sermon's defense popcorn.
- 18:36SPEAKER_01: 100.
- 18:38SPEAKER_01: So yeah, I mean, I don't know.
- 18:40SPEAKER_01: And then you said there's been some rumors about Van Buren punching a wall and hurting his hand, maybe not being able to play.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh that's crazy.
- 18:47SPEAKER_00: That's the case.
- 18:49SPEAKER_00: Uh first of all, let me let me address.
- 18:51SPEAKER_00: I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is true, what a moron.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: Van Buren, if you're listening to this, stop.
- 18:56SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's like I know you're frustrated, I know the team's frustrated.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: Losing sucks every week you lose and you're fighting everything, but don't punch a wall.
- 19:04SPEAKER_00: Come on, man.
- 19:05SPEAKER_00: Think about it.
- 19:05SPEAKER_00: You got your hand here, got your career ahead of you.
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: Don't do stuff.
- 19:09SPEAKER_00: I don't know if that's true, but if he did that, that's just stupid.
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: So uh if he did do it and we got off Chris Parson coming in.
- 19:18SPEAKER_00: How dumb was that last week, BW?
- 19:20SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you listened to it.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: We had the ball.
- 19:23SPEAKER_00: First of all, we we we left about three touchdowns on the field.
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: We were on the one yard line getting stopped.
- 19:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but we're seeing the comment.
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: We had the ball on the one yard line, and they bring in Chris Parson, and the whole everyone in the stadium, yeah, everyone knew he was running it right up the middle.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let's just do something like pass it or something.
- 19:47SPEAKER_00: Everyone knew and he got stopped.
- 19:50SPEAKER_01: That's when I turned it off, Johnny.
- 19:51SPEAKER_01: That that was the end of it for me.
- 19:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 19:54SPEAKER_00: It was bad.
- 19:57SPEAKER_00: So I don't know.
- 19:58SPEAKER_00: Parson played against Kentucky last year or something.
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: He has experience, but I don't know.
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:05SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
- 20:06SPEAKER_01: I mean, I I hope that uh that's that's a rumor about Van Guren.
- 20:09SPEAKER_01: I hope he's not out for the year.
- 20:10SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 20:10SPEAKER_01: I I mean, no idea um what it is.
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: I hadn't heard anything.
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: I I tried to look up, you know, through some of the official channels or whatever, and it's not showing anything.
- 20:19SPEAKER_01: So we'll see.
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, hopefully.
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: We'll see if he runs out there Saturday.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: Hopefully it's a rumor because if it's not a rumor and you got Parsons in, and Parsons goes down, then we're then we're we're throwing out a walk-on Jack Weir as our quarterback, starting quarterback, a walk-on.
- 20:33SPEAKER_00: So, but the way the season's gone for Mississippi State would not surprise me one bit that that something like that happened.
- 20:39SPEAKER_00: But uh, you gotta control your emotions if that is the case.
- 20:42SPEAKER_00: And that's just stupid, especially when you're a star player like that.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: That's just putting your body at risk for injury for the future.
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: And uh, but anyway, hopefully that that that that's all here saying that didn't happen.
- 20:53SPEAKER_00: But regardless, they gotta come out there and put up a lot of points.
- 20:57SPEAKER_00: But you're gonna have to put up more points because your defense is gonna be able to stay off the field again, probably.
- 21:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and uh you're gonna give up a lot.
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: So uh I mean I would say I would say we're gonna win BW, but it would not be surprised at all if we lose.
- 21:11SPEAKER_00: I mean, we lost to Taled.
- 21:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah, right.
- 21:14SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't be shocked.
- 21:16SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, uh people are saying there's there's good we're gonna be lucky to have 20,000 people there for this game.
- 21:23SPEAKER_01: Um you know I I like going to games that are like this, like they're they're more casual, it's not an SEC game, usually at a decent time.
- 21:34SPEAKER_01: You can get in and off and on campus easier.
- 21:37SPEAKER_01: You can really kind of like experience just like being there.
- 21:40SPEAKER_01: It's it's more relaxed.
- 21:41SPEAKER_01: And you know, I enjoy it.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: I I like these kind of non conference games just to kind of appreciate it more.
- 21:47SPEAKER_01: And it usually the games we usually win and and they're they're funner to go to.
- 21:50SPEAKER_01: So I I tend to lean towards l going towards those games.
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: And you know, I don't understand why more people don't think that way.
- 21:56SPEAKER_01: Of course, um, I wouldn't expect it to be a sellout, but So 30 or 40,000 people, I mean that that seems more logical, but maybe not.
- 22:05SPEAKER_00: We'll see.
- 22:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm man, I'm hoping to go to the game.
- 22:09SPEAKER_00: I'm not even sure I'm gonna be able to go to BW.
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: Uh I've got a movie I'm doing in uh excuse me, in uh Equipment Saturday morning.
- 22:18SPEAKER_00: Ah so yeah, it's a Christmas movie that I'm in, uh where it's kind of like based off the movie uh uh It's a Wonderful Life, and I play the the father of the husband and father of the main character.
- 22:30SPEAKER_00: Um so we're shooting our scenes at uh 10 a.m.
- 22:34SPEAKER_00: Saturday morning, and the director told me we should be finished by noon.
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: So if that's the case, I'll be able to make it to the game, but there's a chance it might not.
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: So we'll see.
- 22:42SPEAKER_00: But we had uh I forgot to mention this, we had a big uh movie premiere last Saturday night in Louisville, and uh it was called a movie I was in last a couple years ago called Recalculating, which is kind of like a it was a horror film, uh kind of like Blair Witch.
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: It was all filmed on our uh on an iPhone pretty much now, uh, about some kids that were wanting to go see it's perfect.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about this because it's Halloween, uh wanting to go visit this haunted house, and that people tell told them, I do not want to go see this haunted house.
- 23:16SPEAKER_00: A lot of stuff can happen.
- 23:17SPEAKER_00: And sure enough, one by one, people start missing and going and dying and all sorts of weird stuff happening.
- 23:22SPEAKER_00: But the way we had it uh set up, the premiere was really cool.
- 23:25SPEAKER_00: It was a big screen.
- 23:27SPEAKER_00: It was out in the by this lake at this little at this place in Louisville in kind of the woods.
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: So it was like a wooded area.
- 23:33SPEAKER_00: So it felt like you were in the woods watching a movie about uh haunted movie about kids going into the woods to haunt a house.
- 23:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, it was a pretty neat, neat, uh, neat experience.
- 23:44SPEAKER_00: But they're trying to get that movie out to Malco, and uh we'll see how that happens, but I'll keep everybody updated if it does.
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
- 23:53SPEAKER_01: Well, um, I'll go ahead and predict.
- 23:56SPEAKER_01: I did I do think we win the game.
- 23:58SPEAKER_01: I do think they put up some points.
- 23:59SPEAKER_01: I think it's a little closer than we want it to be.
- 24:02SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say uh let's see 42 to 35.
- 24:08SPEAKER_01: No, 42-28.
- 24:09SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm going with.
- 24:10SPEAKER_01: 42-28.
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: 42-28.
- 24:13SPEAKER_00: Uh okay, yeah.
- 24:15SPEAKER_00: I I I I can get with you behind 42 points, but man, I think we give up 40 points.
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say uh I'm gonna say we win 43-40.
- 24:25SPEAKER_00: 4340.
- 24:26SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be a nail fighter, I think.
- 24:27SPEAKER_00: Yes, it is.
- 24:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: So we'll see.
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: See what happens.
- 24:33SPEAKER_00: But uh regardless, if they can just get a win, because I know these guys have been fighting.
- 24:38SPEAKER_00: I mean, they they yeah, apparently, you know, against Georgia, Texas, and AM, they were they were looked like they didn't give up, they were fighting really, really hard.
- 24:46SPEAKER_00: Um, so they I know they're frustrated because they when you try and you do your best and then you still lose.
- 24:52SPEAKER_00: That's frustrating.
- 24:53SPEAKER_00: But last Saturday, man, just looked like from the get-go, the very first play of the game, they bobbled the snap, and I was like, Oh, this is gonna be a long day.
- 25:06SPEAKER_00: Boom, they score.
- 25:07SPEAKER_00: So uh, and then the route was on then.
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: So it seemed like they gave up and and uh it was just off all around.
- 25:14SPEAKER_00: So this is a much needed game uh to get a win because you're probably not gonna get one at all the rest of the year.
- 25:20SPEAKER_00: So this is the size of whether you're gonna go two and ten or one and eleven, pretty much.
- 25:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 25:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so just uh needle get a win, man.
- 25:30SPEAKER_00: Need to get a win.
- 25:31SPEAKER_00: And uh, but this is your best chance, your only chance pretty much the rest of the year to get one.
- 25:38SPEAKER_00: So they have the chance.
- 25:40SPEAKER_00: I mean, or you can't tell me UMass is a better team than Mississippi State.
- 25:43SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't believe that.
- 25:44SPEAKER_00: Uh, but I would not be surprised if UMass pulls it pulls it off the upset.
- 25:50SPEAKER_00: But um, I would say that we're favorite to win, and I think we should.
- 25:53SPEAKER_00: So we'll see.
- 25:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:54SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 25:55SPEAKER_01: Well, Johnny, enjoy your movie, enjoy the game.
- 25:58SPEAKER_01: Hopefully, you get to make it.
- 25:59SPEAKER_01: And yeah, y'all stay tuned for next week.
