• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Eyes tomorrow morning from Monday, April thirteenth,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, tom Or the Texas game in one
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight days the game against Michigan in
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty nine days. If you're planning your
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: next event, make it unforgettable with Grateful Griddle, Columbus's favorite
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: food truck serving up smashburger, scoremet sandwiches, and good vibes.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Book your catering today at Gratefulgriddle, oh dot com. I'm
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: joined today by Kevin Noon of bucke Huddle dot com
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: in a nondescript hotel room somewhere just outside of Washington.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: D C.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And our next event, well, it will not involve Grateful Gridel,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: but it will involve the Ohio State Buckeyes and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: White House.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Buck guys will be in Washington, d C. On Monday.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: They have a full day of activities planned. Kevin, what
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: do the buck Eyes have besides the usual, you know,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: fancy stuff at the White House?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: What do they have planned for the day.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my understanding is that they'll start over at the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Lincoln Memorial. I get to check all of that out,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: so that'll be nice and that will be something that
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you know, if you're in DC, you might be able
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to swing by and see what they're doing with that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Then they've got a reception set up after that, probably
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: not invited to that. I'm sure we will be standing
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: outside looking for some scraps. Then they'll head over to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the White House, they'll get a tour of the East Wing,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and then they'll have their big ceremony, which I believe
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: is on the South Lawn, and then some of the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: team will leave from there to head back and I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: think others will be going and going to a reception
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: or something with JD. Vance, you know, the Vice president,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: former Ohio senator, and that'll be it. But you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: this is one of the one of the last perks
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and Bennie's you get from winning the national championship. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you know, I think that as long as as long
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: as you recognize it as this is just you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: this is an honor. This is not a partisan event
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: or anything like that. This is just an opportunity to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: be recognized as the best team.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: In the nation.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is kind of the last time that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you're really doing that before for you have the Hey,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty nine Ohio State, whatever game they're honoring
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four national champions between the first and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: second quarters or whatever between now and then. This is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: probably the last sort of major, full event with this
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: whole team, because of course they had the celebration in
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the Horseshoe the Saturday after or the Sunday after the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: National Championship, and then they had they gave the team
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: their national championship rings between the first and second quarters
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of the spring game on Saturday, now the traditional honoring
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of the national champions. The I know the Dodgers were here.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You of course are a Dodgers fan. The Dodgers were
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: here last week for that, so you got a chance
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to talk to some folks. The details have been a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: little sparse in terms of what exactly to expect on this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You actually though you've talked to some people who covered
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: these events recently. But you also you were here ten
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: years ago when it was Urban Meyer and Barack Obama
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: hosting the you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Know and the guest of honor.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What was that like, what was you know, what was
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the day like, just in terms of covering that and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: what you know, what you got to see of the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Ohios Date experience yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: The last time I did this obviously was in twenty fifteen,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: because it was the twenty fourteen season championship, you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: game was played in fifteen. We didn't if there was
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a tour of a monument, we were not We were
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: not privy to it. So we went to the White House,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: stood outside for a while at the security gate. They
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: were checking us out, making sure that we were okay.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: There were a lot more that went on that trip.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Then we were taking into the press briefing room. We
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: sat in there, surprising how small that room is, I
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: mean and kind of dated. So we sat in there
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: for a while and we all got to pretend like
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: we were on the White House, you know, White House beat.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And then they brought us into the East room and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we were able to see the ceremony and everything else.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: President Obama at that time walked within like a foot
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and a half of me. I was like, you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: that's pretty cool or whatever, and then we were on
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: our way. I also remember that we were walking around
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: d C and had no idea where to eat in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a city full of great restaurants.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: We ended up at Hooters, which.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Was in our in our Sunday's Best that was a
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: real dumb decision. I think I did go Tony Gerdaman
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: nuggies that day. I don't think I was that that brave.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we we certainly have seen. The Dodgers were
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: in town a week ago. North Dakota State has been
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: in town. And then obviously President Trump loves the sporting events.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: He was just at the UFC fights, so, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of these things knocked out. You know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: there's some business that needs to be taken care of
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in the political world. So let's let's get all this
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: taken care of and we'll we'll get back in one
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty eight days. We'll be we'll be we'll
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: be ready for one hundred and thirty eight days. Sorry
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I can't read here in our nondescript hotel room. We'll
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: be ready for the Texas game. But you know, a lot,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot of ground to cover between now
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and then. Yeah, I'm very much looking forward to this.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I've never been to the White House before, so that's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that's going to be all new. It does sound like
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a little bit of a different
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: setup than it was the last time. Last time, as
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you said in the East in the East Room. This time,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it's a in the It sounds like the official ceremony
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: is on the South Lawn. It is supposed to be
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a very very nice day here in DC on Monday,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: so we have that to look forward to. Our plan
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for coverage just to sort of let you guys plan
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: out your day. We don't know exactly what we're gonna
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: be able to do in terms of live versus recorded.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: We're sort of planning on probably mostly recorded coverage just because.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: You were less.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Stuff can go wrong that way, basically, but we are
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: planning to have some stuff from you for then from
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the Lincoln Memorial. We'll figure out what that is. That'll
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: be kind of late morning, figure eleven o'clock, eleven thirty
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: something like that, and then we're going to be heading
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: over to the White House in the early afternoon hours.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: If we are inside and can do some behind the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: scenes stuff. You know, this be a little bit more
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: glamorous than the Hey, here's what it looks like in
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the uh, you know, the security ship, the security shed
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at Purdue or whatever. You know. Here, here's here's the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes of ross Aids Stadium. This will be
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a little more glamorous and that we'll suit. We get
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: no promises on anything, but we are coming coming prepared
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to document and show you as much of this as
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we can because not having been there myself, I know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I'm very very excited to see a lot of this stuff,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure the majority of our audience has not
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: been ever been here as well, so very very much
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: looking forward to that. You know, this is it is
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a little sad though. This is kind of the last
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: time you're going to see this whole group together. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was thinking about that on Saturday. I was right up
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: with them as they were doing that ring ceremony. We
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: have some photos on fucking huddle dot com of that,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: like real upclose views of these guys and their their
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: their excitement at getting the rings. But also it was

• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Sawyer and j T. Twey Moloow and TYLERK Williams and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: ty Hamilton just hanging out on the sideline together. It's like,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, you know, kind of a little bit of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a class reunion almost. This will
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: be the last time you kind of see a lot
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of these guys together, So, you know, Ryan day. That
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: was a big thing for Ryan. D earned the right
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to stay together and keep the team together for one more,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: one more game and all that kind of stuff. They
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: have earned the right to keep themselves together for one more,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: one more event now. But this will this will probably
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: be the last time for quite a while that you
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: see the whole the whole group together.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Especially, And we kind of talked about, I don't know

• 7:29
  Speaker 2: we went on air that yeah, you're going to have
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: your reunions, but I don't see, it's gonna have a
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: lot of players that probably on that Saturday are going
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to have to play a game on Sunday and won't
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: be able to show up. So we may not It
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: may not be until the fifteen or twenty year reunion
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that you're going to have a lot of the team together.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: And you know, when life happens and people, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: move on and everything else. So yeah, this is kind
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: of the last hurrah. I mean, you know, I really
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: had not given it a ton of thought before you
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: had mentioned it. But for a team that really thought
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: so hard, you know, we need to win four to
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: win the championship. Let's you know, let's not let this
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: season end on us. Well, we're kind of at the
