one hundred and seventeen. My latey Mad tells me that's more than two years.
1:44
Yeah, yeah, So listen, We're gonna lead off with First of
1:49
all, I'm Greg Pain. I'm here with my real son Tyler Paine,
1:51
Sir, and my son in law, Ryan Sanders' Pain. Ryan Sander's Pain
1:53
has been up around New York this week and he's happy to be back.
1:57
Did you go into the city. You're saving that for us. So I
2:01
looked at the I was, you know, I was curious because you said
2:05
don't ever drive in there, which I figured because I got when I got
2:07
there, it was kind of like late afternoon and all I could see because
2:10
I wanted to fly in and see the city. So I was sitting on
2:14
like the left side of the plane on the window and I could look down
2:16
through the city and it was just all red. And I was like,
2:20
yeah, I'm good. Yeah, I'm gonna greg is right on that one.
2:23
But the train from where I was in New Jersey there was like two
2:25
hours. I'm like, I'm not doing that. Two hours. Yeah,
2:28
holy crap. I was like, I'm good. Now, I don't blame
2:30
me for that. Well, that's all right, we're all gonna go.
2:31
We're gonna go, and and you'll get to see it then, and it's
2:35
always more fun to go to a city that, especially with New York,
2:38
with someone that's been there before. Oh yeah. So but then I want
2:42
to lead off aside from that with a kind of an update on our snailed
2:47
situation from from last week. Prior to last week, I never even knew
2:52
what that was. Now we not only have we talked about it, I
2:55
too have been snailed. So this is I'm Tyler. I'm just gonna turn
3:00
this over to you. It's becoming a thing. I'm getting bullied by a
3:07
bunch of you picked a fields, you picked a fight with some uh some
3:10
sixth graders, and now it's problem. Oh they're owning me, They're they're
3:15
rent free in my head. I mean, I mean, first of all,
3:21
Michael great Kid, tried to put me in a a pretzel mind wise
3:30
because he told me that I made fun of him on the podcast. I
3:35
was like, hold up, absolutely, I don't. I don't think that's
3:38
right. I mean, but it it got me worried. Yeah, I
3:42
was like, there's true. And so I played it in front of the
3:45
whole class and made them listen to it. Everybody's like, he didn't make
3:47
fun of you, Yeah, I guess not. I was like, I
3:51
think he just wanted everybody to hear that he was mentioned on the podcast.
3:53
I think so too. And I don't blame him. I mean, this
3:55
is award winning big time podcast. Yeah, good publicity for him, Yeah
3:59
it is. And so you know, I probably should have been a little
4:02
bit more aware of the situation of what was going to happen as soon as
4:05
I mentioned Michael on the podcast and then played it for everybody. Because Tuesday
4:10
at lunch, get I've had in class. I won't name him. I'll
4:15
just say he sits at the same table as Michael. And you know,
4:21
a little kerfluffled this week due to still not having my truck after two and
4:27
a half months and it's terrible. It's a cluster. It's a cluster.
4:30
It's not anybody's fault except the lady that did it, and it's definitely her
4:35
fault. Let's back up and say the lady that did it, the non
4:40
insured lady who did it, who was probably we think impaired when she was
4:46
driving. I mean she didn't have enough minutes on her phone to call someone.
4:54
That's such a person. Yeah, that's not that we're bitter about it,
4:58
No, not at all. Yeah. So you know, I walk
5:01
around with my sweet tea lunch. I'm doing my lunch duty, doing my
5:04
thing, making sure kids aren't acting a fool, which they always do,
5:09
it's their job. And so I walked by Michael's table and I guess I
5:16
just didn't realize what was going on. And I'm walking past that table and
5:23
one of the kids reaches out and gives nucks and I did not even again,
5:27
I'm in a mental pretzel with these kids, and I stuck my fist
5:36
out to give nucks and snail and the whole table laughed, and I went
5:43
over to the corner and cried, and I mean, it's just it's gotten
5:47
throughout the school. It's definitely throughout the sixth grade. It's for sure,
5:51
because that was not the only time I got snailed this week. Michael did
5:57
on Monday reach out for a nut some nucks and I gave it and I
6:00
looked at him like he gave him the side eye, then gave him the
6:03
nucks and he's like yes, and uh so I thought, you know,
6:09
he had somewhat regained my trust. And then in the hallway again he snalled
6:13
me. So he's smart. He's smart, he knows what he's doing.
6:15
Let me tell you those Snyders. I've known those folks forever. You gotta
6:20
watch them. Yeah, he's he he's got me, but I also have
6:25
gotten him. Yeah, so it's I it's two way street. You say
6:28
you may have to start just going out for the handshake now and just not
6:31
doesn't even make it an opportunity act like we actually just stuck. We actually
6:35
discussed this at the table the other day with one of the custodians and you
6:41
know, he always gives nucks and like some of the kids are wanting to
6:44
give high fives, yeah, and he's like, I'm not I'm not doing
6:46
that. And you know, one day. The kids are like, he
6:50
won't give high fives, he only gives nucks. And he's like, well,
6:53
do you want to know why, he said, because I'm picking up
6:57
y'all's crap all day with this hand. You want me to high five you
7:00
with the stuff I'm picking up off the ground because y'all are feelthy And the
7:03
kids are kind of like, well, no, I guess not. And
7:08
yeah, and so yeah, I mean, like I said, mental pretzel,
7:13
I'm being It's absolutely dominated by some sixth graders right now, and we
7:16
pretty much have elevated Michael's social status. We have, you know, when
7:24
getting mentioned on the podcast and then me having to basically play the first ten
7:29
minutes because of Michael's acquisations against me and I let it be decided in the
7:34
public or in the court of public opinion amongst always dangerous twelve year olds.
7:39
Yes, and they sided with me shockingly. And uh so, yeah,
7:47
he's he's a little bit of a celebrity right now. Yeah, and he
7:50
didn't seem pleased a bat today. When I think he's I think he's he's
7:55
definitely he's milking it. He's definitely milking it because maybe Michael I would too
8:00
I would to you know, I thought talking about it last week on the
8:03
podcast would slow down getting snailled, but it's it's really just ramped it up.
8:09
And oh, I don't know why you thought it would slow it down.
8:11
Yeah, I don't know. This is a first year teacher mistake.
8:13
Yeah that is, and which technically, if you want to look at it,
8:18
and I'm more like my third year because it's my third nine weeks get
8:20
different kids every single nine weeks, that's true. So I got a lot
8:24
of I got a lot of years. It's it's it's it's in dog years.
8:28
I'm teaching in dog years. So listen, Ryan, I taught middle
8:31
school one year. And you know why I taught middle school one year because
8:33
you had to because I didn't want to teach middle school two years. That's
8:37
fair. Yeah, but I mean, it's it. They're fine. They're
8:43
I mean again, if you allow not not Tyler, but if you allow
8:46
the kids to wreck you, well of course you're gonna have a hard time
8:50
with middle school, right, they're a wrecked themselves. Yeah, So you
8:54
know, just whatever, it was fine. I had. I had great
8:56
kids there. Tyler Rice was a eighth grader when I started to teaching.
9:01
Oh really, yeah, we coach her son now haply Yeah, hate that
9:05
makes you. That makes me feel a little old. Yeah, I feel
9:09
terrible. I had cupcakes for the class of twenty twenty eight the other day.
9:11
That made me feel little. Yeah, it's tough. Scene. Yea,
9:13
it is tough. Scene eight. What's worse is that one worse or
9:18
the speaking of your your wreck the cop that showed up and said, coach
9:22
pay I think the cop. The cop thing definitely made me feel little because
9:26
here I am twenty seven years old and single. Guy. It's not that
9:28
I've been single as of late. I was in a relationship last year and
9:33
uh, but here's a guy I coached four years ago. I probably four
9:39
years ago because it happened during COVID and uh, already married, got a
9:43
kid, and he's been a you know, in law enforcement for two and
9:48
a half years. Looks like, man, you really got your life together.
9:52
You know what you wanted to do? Not I was asleep and someone
9:54
hit my car. Yeah, and here I am, so I don't know.
10:00
Well, let's get on with the show. Tyler. You have my
10:01
pity for that, because it's not gonna that's not gonna slow down for them.
10:05
Now, I think I'm just gonna go on a knocks strike. Nobody's
10:11
getting knucks. That's yeah. Here's a tribute question that I saw this week
10:15
is very interesting. Uh the highest rated high school quarterback question. All right,
10:22
now, the one I saw only had four options, but there's I've
10:26
given five because mahomes Donald, Party Gabbert or Juwan Jennings. I actually think
10:35
it's Sam Darnold, isn't it. It's not, is it not? I
10:39
figured he would be up there. I don't think it's that you don't,
10:43
don't it's actually I added the one. The one that I added is the
10:48
who it is? It's Black Gabbard. But the next highest one Juwan Jennings.
10:54
And he was is my don't tell me my home's last. He was
10:58
a three he went to Texas tex That's true, you know, I mean
11:01
he was, But but Jennings was a four star. And let me tell
11:05
you something. He might be my favorite Tenessee ball of all time. Exact,
11:09
dude. It needs to be scientifically studied what happens to players when they
11:13
put on the number fifteen At the University of Tennessee. Because Bruce McCoy is
11:16
almost I mean, he's essentially the spit image of John Jennings. A shame
11:20
he played for Butch Jones. But you know, well he got kicked off
11:24
the team. Remember they got kicked off the team. Then he went on
11:28
Instagram and just cussed everybody out. Yeah, and I'm like, put him
11:30
back on. We need that guy put on the team. He's right,
11:35
speaking of my homes. I've heard this, uh, you know, all
11:39
over ESPN on the sports channels. Are we are we ready to say if
11:43
he wins the Super Bowl? Are we ready to say he's he's up there
11:46
with Brady and the likes of Montana and he'd be on his guys, he'd
11:50
be on his way. I don't know if can you not? I know,
11:52
but I'm just I'm not. I'm not there yet. Actually a lot
11:54
shorter time, especially when I saw the picture of him with his shirt off
11:58
this past week. Yeah, I mean people are not you know, look,
12:01
they're letting that guy, uh scramble on third and twelve for a first
12:05
down. I didn't, I didn't see. It's Brady at the combine.
12:11
It's worse. It's it's bad for the brand. It's definitely bad for the
12:16
moment. Brand. Yeah. We also, we may have jinxed the Lines
12:18
last week, and I apologize because that's on me. Yeah, you know,
12:22
so we got home in time to watch the second half melt down.
12:26
I am not a Detroit Lines fan, but I do like the underdog.
12:30
I really do a lot like the underdog. And I think everybody was for
12:33
the Lines just because they've never even been to the Super Bowl. So I
12:37
mean, why would you not pull for them unless you're a Niners fan?
12:39
And I get that, but everybody else that wasn't a fan, you got
12:43
to be pulling for the Lines. Yeah, and even I felt heartbreak,
12:48
like I went it fourth down, they ran it on third, and then
12:52
they threw it on fourth and that guy dropped the ball. I don't know
12:56
why. Right then I felt it like this is it. Then they hit
12:58
that fifty one had passed. No way should catch that pass. Yeah,
13:01
he's the guy's face mask catch the deflection like Jordan Aire. Then you knew
13:07
it was gonna happen. Bumble to kick off. I'm not saying then I'm
13:09
a better football coach than Dan Campbell, because clearly I'm not. But I
13:16
was half asleep watching that game knowing good and well, he should have kicked
13:20
that field goal to tie the game, because when San Francisco gets the ball
13:24
bag, what if they score? What if you don't get it right here
13:26
and they go down and score. Now it's a two possession ball game.
13:28
Yeah, apparently that's been his mo all season. Yeah, yes, And
13:31
I just I guess it's worked for him so many times that he just didn't
13:35
even think about it and just said, yeah, now we're going for it.
13:37
Yeah. I'm like, dude, in that situation, got it.
13:39
You gotta kick the field It was only like a forty seven yard you gotta
13:41
get points. Yeah, I agree, And I mean because I'm very good
13:46
NFL coach, so I know, but I listen, don't change what got
13:52
you there. I get it, because if he would have tried to kick
13:54
the field goal and he missed it, everybody we had said, well,
13:56
you've always gone for it. So he was in a no win position.
13:58
Really, But man, if you'd have told me that there's going to be
14:03
a coach out there that could get the lines to within one half of the
14:05
Super Bowl, I always said, nah, nothing can. Yeah. So
14:09
and he's a fantastic job. Hey, I love what that dude's passionate,
14:13
very passionate, and gets emotional, like crying. Emotional man. Coach Sansing
14:16
did that his first year at Shorter, our first conference game for our pep
14:22
talk. I remember where I was standing. He started crying. He said,
14:26
people told me not take this job because he couldn't win here. What
14:30
made me mad? Yeah? You know, and I mean but he was
14:33
a legit, he cried. We'll talk about him in a little bit.
14:35
I got to see him this week. Uh but yeah, Juwan Jennings.
14:39
So let's go ahead and talk about the Super Bowl a little bit. Are
14:43
we pulling for? Who are we pulling for? America's team? The Niners?
14:46
Yeah, the Niners? Why does it? Why is that America's team?
14:50
Because because the Chiefs and Taylor sith, well, you do associate communism
14:54
with red, but the rock Niners are red too, not that kind of
14:58
red. Yeah. So let's talk about this Taylor Swift thing for a minute.
15:05
I have jokingly posted some stuff about that, yeah, and then I
15:11
had to go back in and post this is I'm not serious, y'all.
15:15
Yeah? Are you shocked about how serious people have taken this whole? Why
15:22
are y'all Dogg and Taylor Swift thing in this world right now that we live
15:26
in, absolutely people are soft, and I think that people think that.
15:31
I mean, it's I don't know, it's kind of like, you know,
15:35
the comment the pit somebody made on your post the first n suppost is
15:37
like, oh, you just don't want women to watch football. It's like
15:39
what in the world or the thing every Yeah, I would give everything for
15:45
Lindsay be like you know what, Yeah, we're watching the super Bowl and
15:46
that like how we are and how we are. I love it, but
15:50
I just don't even she's fed up with the Taylor Swift thing, and you
15:52
know, she likes her music and I'm like, she's like, I can't
15:54
stand to us here every ten minutes. I like, it's not but it's
15:58
like that's what it's not. I don't want to see Taylor Swift or whatever.
16:00
I'm sure she makes great music, but I don't I want to watch
16:03
football. Yeah, you're making a spectacle. And I understand what they're doing.
16:07
It's marketing. And somebody on Facebook took me all because I said,
16:12
it's just marketing. Blah blah blah. Tota Swift doesn't need the money.
16:15
She's worth one point one billion dollars, and I said talking about the NFL,
16:18
Yeah, I'm talking about the new eyeballs. And Zach Peters made a
16:22
good comment on my Facebook when he said, well, my thirteen year old
16:26
daughter's watching the game with me. I think that's awesome if that's what it
16:29
takes. Great. And you know she's not the only one. You know,
16:33
there's new people watching and all that. That's great. Why are people
16:40
there are people who evidently have taken a stop watch in time the number like
16:45
how often she she's only been on TV for forty four point eight fac Why
16:49
he's upset? Well, yeah, I'm not upset, but I guess there
16:53
are people that really are upset. Why But I know, we don't want
16:59
to cram down her throat and we've got chiefs slash. I mean, all
17:02
year long, it's been Subway commercial, State Farm commercial, It's Pfizer.
17:07
It's too much, it's too much. And then we get Taylor Swift that
17:14
easily the hottest artist, not good looking, hottest, the hottest, most
17:18
popular. Yeah, she's got like a cult following, unbelievable. It's crazy.
17:22
It's like Jimmy Buffett, Yes, it is this what Beatlemania was like,
17:26
so, I mean, I don't know, but people have just lost
17:30
their minds over this. And I'm seeing big, long posts, serious posts,
17:37
and people sharing it on Facebook and saying stuff might drop and stuff like
17:41
that. I'm like, why do people care that much? It's not a
17:44
social thing. Can we not just joke about it? Yeah? Not anymore.
17:48
It's gotten so bad that I'm not kidding. There is a bet on
17:52
fandel that says, will Travis Kelsey propose to Taylor Swift after the game if
17:57
they win? And I'm like, what has this world gotten to? Why
18:00
can't I just bet on the gatorade color at the end of the game.
18:03
Now I got a bet on a proposal. I don't need that. Ladies
18:07
and gentlemen. We're in the end times, we are. It's in revelation.
18:10
Yeah. I saw Matthew Roorick's Lance's brother. You know. He someone
18:17
posted why is everybody was upset about? Tell your Swift Friday? You know
18:21
all that? And he said, it's not her, it's him. Because
18:26
I don't like that guy. Yeah, you know, I don't see Yeah,
18:30
you and I can beck you. I can back you up on that.
18:32
Because when they won the Super Bowl. I guess it not last year,
18:37
but the time before that, and Travis Kelsey got on the mic and
18:41
started acting a fool. You're like, somebody, don't ever give him a
18:45
microphone or when he went after the Cincinnati mayor, and I'm like, last
18:48
year was that last year? I think? And I was like, dude,
18:52
come on and actually like his brother, I think is great, but
18:56
it's like, I just still I didn't like the way Kelsey behaved and and
19:02
I think he pulled the nobody believed in his card one time. I'm like,
19:04
you're the Chiefs. Yeah, don't do that, Georgia. Yeah,
19:08
so stupid anyway, So so we're pulling for the forty nine ers. Mister
19:15
irrelevant yep. I mean, well that's a great story. It is,
19:18
And unfortunately that story's being overshadowed. They're trying to make it seem like he's
19:23
not a good player. I'm like, the world are you talking about?
19:26
I get that he has Steebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey on his team, but
19:30
at the end of the day, he's a good quarterback. Yeah. Yeah.
19:33
Game manager, well that worked out okay for all the other game managers
19:37
that I've known, so whatever, But uh yeah, pulling for the forty
19:41
nine ers for sure, Tyler, you're an American, you are too,
19:45
and you already said American's team. So were united in this one, yes,
19:49
which naturally means the Chiefs are gonna win. Yeah, yes, it
19:52
does. All right, let's move to some local high school news. They
19:56
were in mcaulay State championship game helped Finley Stadium's revenue over one million in the
20:02
fourth quarter of twenty twenty three. It's not shocked crazy, no, not.
20:07
That's an eighteen thousand plus that went. It's the most attended football game
20:11
there since I don't know, one of the college national championships. I don't
20:15
remember who was between maybe Happy State in Montana and Montana probably that's a big
20:21
deal. That was in the Times Free Press. Our good friends over there
20:25
cited that did a really nice job. And uh, I mean, I'm
20:29
I'm for Baylor McCauley State championship game here every year every year, or it
20:33
wouldn't be you know, it's real. It's a real shame that they don't
20:36
play in the regular season every year and they could just have the game there
20:40
ran that's a great idea. I wonder if both schools would ever think about
20:42
Yeah, do you think that they've they've ever thought about that? Yeah,
20:45
it makes sense, you know, for you know, just logistical purposes.
20:49
Obviously that makes money out still any of parking. Yeah, yeah, really
20:53
comme, I really think we should take that to both schools. It's an
20:57
idea. I know one school would say okay, yeah, the blue school
21:02
would say okay, it's the other schools. We're just kind of doing an
21:04
out of pettiness right now. Yeah, which I don't blame. No,
21:07
that's true. I mean that's exactly what it is. It's a great environment,
21:11
it's awesome. But you know what, not everybody can go to the
21:14
game. And the way those two schools have elevated their football programs not just
21:18
statewide but nationally, that's a community game. Bill Cherry said it community game
21:22
back in the day God rest is Soul. He said it was a community
21:25
game. And he's right. And no one knew more than Bill Cherry about
21:27
McCauley or Bathe or t W S. Double A. And now in that
21:34
article it said that peop they a lot of the people they talked to said,
21:37
are you for batter mccalluchy are like, we don't care, we just
21:40
want to see this. Okay, well you cannot do that during the regular
21:44
season, just because of the way things are done. And listen, Batter's
21:48
got a beautiful campus. It's awesome, like really the pretty corpus around.
21:53
Now. I'm not a Harry Potter guy, but from what others have said,
21:57
yeah, that's what you hear. Yeah, but people are saying,
22:02
yeah, but two things watching the basketball game of there is misery. Yeah.
22:07
I mean you do go back in time to the nineteen seventies when you
22:10
walk in that gym. Yeah. And or wrestling match yeah, yes,
22:11
I've seen that on McCaulay wrestling, which by the way, McAuley won this
22:15
this year. Yeah, we're talking about that. Yep. But they wont
22:18
the duel. They won the actual match, yeah, which hasn't been done
22:21
in a while long time, in nineteen straight. And then h football is
22:26
I'm not going and no one cares with Greg Pingos or no, it's not
22:30
that, it's just that I can't be the only person filming that way.
22:33
Yeah, so I agree with you. Point well made. We're going to
22:37
talk to uh, We're going to schedule a meeting with with both head masters
22:41
here soon. Yeah, yeah, pitch the idea, see what they think.
22:44
Yeah, if it's ever come across their desk, sure, nobody's ever
22:47
considered. I think it's a novel concept. Yeah, makes a lot of
22:51
sense. So anyway, that's a big deal. That's a lot of money,
22:55
uh for the for Finland Stadium. I think the most. That's the
22:57
most that they've made in a quarter since they came. Brown. It really
23:00
hurt me to say that because I'm not King Brown fan. Even though he's
23:03
from here, came, I don't know him personally. I know y'all do
23:07
right or days. My sister graduate graduated with him. Yeah, sorry,
23:11
Yeah, I think Lindsay hung out with him. Great story. It was
23:14
before yeah, Ron, it was she was hanging out with Alexis and I
23:18
think Alexis husband. Yeah, their buddies, her buddy is buddies with him.
23:22
He had come over. So yeah, I mean, great success story.
23:25
Proud of him. Just not my kind of music. It's fine.
23:27
Go Warriors, Go Warriors. Absolutely. McCauley and Saudi Daisy win state duels
23:33
wrestling titles. Congratulations to both Saudi Daisy a traditional power uh in in wrestling,
23:40
but it has had had been since twenty twelve since they had wanted to
23:42
state duels. Did Cleveland or Bradley not win Cleveland? I know Cleveland was.
23:47
I saw something on Twitter about them. I don't know if they ended
23:48
up winning because I don't see Cleveland one. Okay, yeah in a row.
23:52
Yeah, Cleveland boys and Girls one. Yeah. And I failed to
23:57
say that when when I put it in the I just read the first part
24:00
of the headline, not the whole thing. But Cleveland definitely did boys and
24:03
girls. That is now twenty four of the last twenty seven state championships in
24:07
that classification for wrestling have been won by a team in Bradley County. That's
24:11
pretty good, right, all right? I think that would be dynasty.
24:15
Yeah, it's crazy how it's like flip flopped. Yeah, Bradley Cleveland,
24:19
and it's Bradley for a long time now, it's been Cleveland for a long
24:22
time. Well, McCauley's coach is Cleveland guy. When McCauley made because you
24:26
know, at the beginning of that run, Yost was the coach. To
24:30
my I think that I'm pretty sure he won a state title or two over
24:33
there at Cleveland, and when McCauley went and got him, I was like,
24:37
it's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time.
24:37
Yeah. And this is the first time first dual state championship the Blue Tornado
24:41
won since two thousand and six. Yeah, so it's a long time.
24:45
Check this out. Trailing thirty one to twenty three with three matches. This
24:48
is from The Times Free Press. Trailing thirty one to twenty three with three
24:52
matches left to wrestle. It was eighth grader Dylan Billers who sparked the rally
24:56
with a nail biting three to two decision that one thirty eight. What followed
25:02
next was pure madness. Eighth grader Cooper Ledbetter one forty four pinned his opponent
25:07
in the second round to give McCauley a one point league and leave the outcome
25:11
up to Zaden Morgan one fifty, the McCauley freshman. Here. What sail
25:17
were doing here? Well, that's I was actually talking to some kids at
25:19
Ringold this past week and they said they got some kids on that McCaulay team.
25:22
They're gonna win five state championships. I was like, what do you
25:26
mean. They said they've got two eighth graders. Yeah, and it may
25:27
be more. I don't know. Well, and this says the McCauley freshman
25:32
showed incredible concentration and strong form while building a four to two lead into the
25:36
third period, which he ended by pinning his opponents back to the match.
25:40
Shouldn't have to say that, we know, what else could you pin to
25:42
them? Yeah? Yeah, giving the Blue Tornado a thirty eight thirty one
25:47
victory and the title. So they had three matches left to go, and
25:52
it's probably the youngest bucks they got. Yeah. McCauley had four eighth graders
25:56
in its starting lineup and picked up big victories in the Idol Duels from sophomores
26:00
Axel Ritchie and Cooper Gennle Another General and seniors Carson General, Javon mc McMahon
26:07
and James Cross. Somebody's been cruiting over there. They don't do that.
26:14
That's their seventh state Duels title in fifteenth team state titles. It seems to
26:18
me like state championships are just starting to come through Chattanooga left and right.
26:21
Yeah, football, baseball, baseball, wrestling, not basketball, not basketball,
26:26
girls basketball, Yeah, yeah, but this crazy, Yeah, it
26:30
is Saudi Daisy won, finished off an undefeated dual season. Undefeated boys thirty
26:37
four and oh shoe hard to do better than that? Yeah, thirty five.
26:44
If they had another one, they probably would. They'd beat tell a
26:47
home of forty four to sixteen in the final. Good league, I mean,
26:51
come on. Earlier they had raced to a forty to six lead over
26:55
Mnford in the quarterfinals and a forty two to six lead over Station Camp.
26:59
They just kill it was like, why you know those last couple of matches,
27:02
why even wrestling? Yeah? I think once you get past the point
27:07
where it's like mathematically they can't win, you should just kill them. Man.
27:10
That's it. Just like in golf. Mash play Yeah, nice play.
27:11
In Double A, the Blue Raiders cruise to their seventh straight Duels title
27:15
as they built a thirty eight to zero lead over Knox Halls in the title
27:19
match before forfeiting the last six bouts. They were like, I forget this
27:25
with the chimps. Yep see you. The win was the one hundred and
27:29
forty first straight dual victory. They're they're insane, one hundred and forty one
27:34
strength. I mean, listen, don't they wrestled good teams? Yeah?
27:38
A lot of that has to do with the likes of you know, Heath
27:42
Slinger and you know all the guys that came before him. H's it's phenomenal.
27:48
That's great, right, congratulations to those to those schools and those guys.
27:52
Uh and have this free press of course with excellent coverage all always.
27:55
While we're on the top of a wrestling real quick, I will say,
27:57
our boy from the program, Trevor Peak announced his next fight. Yes,
28:02
I didn't see that. I don't know who the opponent is April. Yeah,
28:06
this is his Twitter post or exposts he'll say. He said, Kova
28:11
Standy Hammer fifth April sixth at the ufc APEX. So he's calling his shot.
28:15
I like it. So been the lookout for that, Yeah I did.
28:18
I did fail to put that on the schedule, thank you. I
28:21
just remembered it whenever we were talking about rest and I remembered it because I
28:23
remember that. Sweet. But Trevor Peak fun to watch, fun to watch,
28:27
looks so so polished. In his last match too, looked totally different,
28:32
totally different. We have a more high school stuff here. Nope,
28:40
Tennessee versus the NC double A so again, big story. Not only does
28:45
the universe. Has the state of Tennessee essentially saved the south the southern border
28:52
from being North Mexico a long long time ago. But we're gonna save college
28:57
football as well. I mean, it's just another day at the office for
29:00
Tennessee fans. And maybe they've may they may say college athletics seriously, because
29:07
Tennessee essentially was like, all right, we've had enough of this. Yeah,
29:11
well it'll go actress again. We'll be the one school to just say
29:15
bring it on, right, So doing it tell me as because I haven't
29:19
really to be honest, I haven't gone full in the weaves on what happened,
29:22
So tell me what happened. So what has happened is the NCAA has
29:26
opened up an investigation into Tennessee athletics or is it specifically Tennessee football football?
29:33
Okay, so they've opened it up specifically in the Tennessee football one of their
29:37
things being that they flew Nico out on a private plane for his visit.
29:42
Well, that wasn't against the rules then. However, it's against the rules
29:47
now. So they're retroactively trying to apply a rule that is now a rule
29:51
back to two years ago when we were recruiting him. I would think that
29:56
would somehow get grandfather to in and he just look past it. Hey going
29:59
forward, can't do this anymore. Isn't there side note? Isn't there literally
30:03
a video of Dabos Sweeney with flying dj in and showing them head that's where're
30:07
gonna be throwing a touchdown here about six Yeah? Okay, So that was
30:11
just saying like, yeah, this is tensey. Not to always school doing
30:14
that. No, yeah, no, and so, uh, you know,
30:17
in the past. I'm not sitting here saying Tennessee has not done things
30:21
wrong in the past. Every school has. Tennessee with Bruce Pearl. Obviously
30:25
there were some things that happened there. Bruce Pearl lied about some things,
30:27
and essentially what was happened everybody that was associated with that program, see ya
30:32
get out everybody that was associated with the Jeremy Pruett staff, see you get
30:37
out thirty players. Okay. So the n C Double A has done so
30:42
much as to come out and say Tennessee is the standard for complying with the
30:48
n C Double A throughout the investigations. So they're basically putting Tennessee up on
30:52
this pedestal. Now they've made up these new rules and said, oh yeah,
30:56
we're gonna come back again, and we're gonna, as Danny White said,
31:00
move the goalpost. Because what we tried to get y'all on couldn't find
31:04
anything. So we're gonna go over here and make up a rule and hit
31:07
you with it. And you know, the chancer, what's you name,
31:11
Dondee Plowman, she's now legend, a legend. She will if she ever
31:17
wants to buy a drink in Knoxville. She doesn't have to know. I
31:19
mean, she went scorched earth on the NC double A, essentially saying you
31:26
are like, you're making this up as you go, and we can't do
31:30
our job because y'all are have done such a poor job of transitioning into the
31:37
nil era of college athletics. So we're doing our best to comply. Not
31:42
only is it us, but every other school that's associated with the NC double
31:48
A. We're doing our best to comply. But six to eight months down
31:51
the road, when we've trained our people on all of these new rules,
31:53
you change them. And so now we have to go through six to eight
31:56
more months of training and then all of a sudden the rules that you took
32:00
away a year and a half ago are now a rule again. And it's
32:02
they're just making it up as they go. Well, who has the vendetta
32:06
against Tennessee and the chairman is Georgia grad. Ah, there it is.
32:10
There's gotta be something. I know, way too weird, too much.
32:14
I know there's I'm not saying there's I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I was
32:17
saying, but sometimes I am. Okay, sometimes I am. You know,
32:22
I wear the ten full hat sometimes. So but this has just been
32:28
ridiculous and essentially the entire university is just fed up with it. So Andy
32:34
Plouman puts that four page letter out just going scorts to earth on them.
32:38
Fantastic This past week, Danny White then tweets a letter out about it.
32:44
The governor of the State of Tennessee then tweets about it. Yeah, and
32:47
then the Tennessee Attorney General doesn't even tweet about it. All he tweets is
32:52
a picture of the State of Tennessee against the n C double A. And
32:58
people just lose it. And so apparently, and I don't think it's a
33:02
good look. They're thinking about checker in the courtroom on February thirteenth in Greenville.
33:08
Have gone one too Yeah, that's a little too much. If we
33:12
want, you know, it is funny, but if we want, you
33:15
know, people to see it our way, let's not flaunt it in front
33:19
of everybody. Because this right here, in my opinion, is the final
33:25
nail on the coffin for the NCAA because Tennessee has filed suit against them,
33:30
Virginia has filed suit against them. And this past week when the Tennessee stuff
33:34
came out, the SEC and the Big ten basically said, y'all aren't doing
33:37
a good enough job of basically leading us into the nil era of college athletics.
33:44
So we're gonna create this Sports Advisory Committee about what we think is best
33:47
for the future of college football and what y'all have to say. We'll take
33:52
it into account, but we are going to determine the best steps going forward.
33:58
I don't understand is it just that Tennis he was low hanging fruit because
34:00
they've been in so much trouble in the last few years. I don't understand
34:04
why they chose Tennessee. And I understand that while everybody else is doing it
34:08
is not a defense. I understand that, but everybody else is doing it,
34:15
And how did you go about picking Tennessee number one? And then the
34:20
NC double A has responded to the Tennessee's request for a tro it said.
34:27
The NC double A said, the states of Tennessee and Virginia threatened to throw
34:30
college sports into disarray. It's already in disarray and it's fault yeah, wildliad
34:36
West already, Yes, their rules, this whole thing. What has what
34:40
did old Miss? What did Old Miss do this year? Exactly? They
34:45
went and got I mean, it's anybody art and they wouldn't got anybody who
34:50
wanted because they're gonna be good next year. They went and plugged in holes
34:52
with plug and play guys, impact guys. Now they've lost some of them
34:55
since then, but whatever, But you're telling me that that's okay. Lane
35:00
Kiffin was on campus at Alabama the day after saving got like retired. How
35:06
is that leading? That's what's going on. There is one rule, there
35:09
are no rules. Yes, we don't talk about fight club, that's one
35:13
rule. But but bottom line is this is what I see. A dying
35:19
entity is trying to stay relevant and I don't that's all. I don't care
35:23
whether it's it was Tennessee, Alabama or Wyoming. They messed up this process
35:30
from the very beginning and now they're trying to retroactively punish people. That's your
35:36
fault. You didn't have the rules set up in place. I was genuinely
35:38
concerned when I saw it come across my feet on Twitter and then I saw
35:44
what you know, sports writer put it out there and it was Pat FOURD
35:47
and I was like, Oh, this is a load of crap. Guy
35:50
sucks. It's terrible. He's not professional at all. My guess, I
35:57
really want to I'm guessing this is a pure gas. I have nothing to
36:00
base this on, but I bet you that they said the n C Double
36:06
A said that Nico was ineligible, and Tennessee pushback. Now, I'm just
36:09
guessing, because that's who this is centered around. Yeah, so you can't
36:16
just pick one guy. I mean, you know that something came up and
36:20
it's and it's for the for the first time when the n C Double A
36:22
has told somebody, like, let's say that did happen. For the first
36:27
time that the NC Double A has told a university that a certain player,
36:30
certain impact players now ineligible. They basically just look at the n C Double
36:35
A and no and said, no, he's not. No, what are
36:37
you gonna do about it? We're not doing that? Yeah, I mean,
36:39
I mean essentially that's and here's the thing. Any other time throughout the
36:45
course of college football history you couldn't do that, but now's the one time
36:47
you can do it and say no. Now, I don't think I don't
36:50
think so. Yeah, the n C Double A is dying. Yeah,
36:52
it's not. That's dead as an organization. Is this slow death? But
36:58
this may this may an hands it. However, the Cuba did pass down
37:04
a punishment this week. I've never seen one this bad. I mean the
37:09
death penalty with SMU was pretty bad. Yes, but this is for an
37:13
individual. Oh, an individual? Yeah, Former Alabama coach Brad Bohannon baseball
37:17
coach, oh I did. Yeah, this fifteen year show costs. Explain
37:22
the show costs to me. So that doesn't mean that people can't hire him.
37:27
But if you hire him, you have to explain why you hired him
37:30
and what processes that you're you got in place to make sure he doesn't commit
37:36
another infraction. And his was pretty serious in regards to betting on a ball
37:42
game. That is pretty against his team. It's pretty obvious what he was
37:45
doing, very obvious, very very bad. And the thing is that guy's
37:47
a good baseball coach. Unfortunately, so fifteen years show called show cause penalty.
37:54
If someone does hire him, he can't coach for five years. Okay
38:00
that see I saw that. I was like, is that five games or
38:02
five years? Five years? So he's essentially out of baseball for the next
38:07
for college, he's done. But here's here's the thing. They they had
38:12
to do that because gambling is so much, it's so much in our sports
38:16
world. Now, if you thought, I mean, we already think that,
38:21
right, if you guys thought for a second that a game was fixed,
38:24
I don't think I could. It's just like watching the WWE. At
38:29
this point, I still believe the games aren't fixed. You know, people
38:31
always with the NFL's rigged and all that stuff, and I'm my NFL can
38:37
well yes, But my argument is if the NFL is rigged, somebody's doing
38:39
a poor job. Because the Cowboys are the most popular team, why are
38:44
they not letting that get where? Not letting them get their turn? You
38:46
know? And it's also you know, scripted to I'm sure when tomorrow.
38:51
Hamlin saw that he was gonna die on the field last year. He was
38:52
like, hey, I don't know, guy, this is bad. Yeah,
38:57
I'm gonna skip out on this part. Yeah, so I mean again,
39:00
people, can you can again? Ten four? Hat? You can
39:04
do all that? Oh you want to? I don't believe that I started.
39:06
I don't believe college sports is I played college ball. You play college
39:08
ball even though it's a small time. Games aren't fixed, no shock,
39:14
no, uh, it's virtually impossible to do. Uh So anyway, that's
39:19
a huge penalty. I read that. I had to read that article twice
39:22
because I could not believe what I was reading. But again, it had
39:24
to be done. You can't do that. You think you'll get a job
39:29
somewhere doing something else. I was gonna have to coach pro ball, or
39:31
he's gonna have to coach n AI. I think he could coach an Ai.
39:35
And let me tell you that guy's a good baseball coach. He knows
39:38
his stuff. Tennessee beats Kentucky. You gotta have to put that in there.
39:45
Basketball owned the switch off of this. They did one hundred and three
39:52
points at Rupp only third time that's ever happened. The other two times was
39:57
v M I and then in the of their school back in the eighties.
40:01
I think Georgia did it. It wasn't surely it hates me. I hate
40:04
to say that, but I think it was the I don't know, it
40:07
doesn't matter. Georgia fans are now shocked that they have a basketball program,
40:09
but they didn't even know that. Yeah, yeah, welcome to it.
40:13
Yeah, year round sports. Yeah. But the thing that I wanted to
40:16
bring up not that Tennessee be Kentucky because really under Barnes, that's not unusual
40:22
and he owns them. Yeah, Calipari skipped the postgame press cont see that.
40:27
That is a bad look, kind of sour. Yeah, that's that's
40:30
tough look. Yeah, and I already don't like that guy anyway. Yeah,
40:32
you know, but I mean his last name ends and a vow that
40:37
sounds are you being racist? Is that? No, I'm actually in the
40:40
middle of the Sopranos, and so something that's kind of common. Yeah,
40:45
sopranos. Yeah, they get they they're like, man, they're just coming
40:49
after me because my last name ins and a vow. Yeah, he might
40:52
be right. Yeah, I mean my roommates is zero. Yeah, you
40:55
know, well, I watched I saw TikTok today. I can't talk about
41:01
it, never mind. No, well, it's you're watching The Sopranos.
41:06
Yeah, don't talk about it. Talks about the end. It's the Gobo
41:07
Goo. Yeah, no spoilers. But it was I will say this.
41:12
It was asking about the lead singer for Journey Back then was Steve Perry,
41:15
and it was asking if he approved of them using the song for the last
41:21
scene of the episode of the series, and he talked about that. But
41:24
I can't I think, I mean, I have somewhat of an idea of
41:27
how it ends because I watched the Ozar and you said, man, that's
41:30
very Sopranos ish. So I don't know. I don't know what's going to
41:32
happen. But but that was years ago before I thought I'd ever watched The
41:37
Sopranos. I want to watch The Sopranos again. I'm in season three,
41:39
episode four right now. It's I'm halfway through Brilliant TEA. Well, not
41:44
halfway throughout the finish season three to be halfway through, but I'm close.
41:46
Brilliant TV. Yeah. Not as good as Breaking Bad, No, not
41:51
even close. It better than Game of Thrones. I don't know. And
41:57
Ryan is gotten up out of his chair and La swung by and picked them
42:01
up season one to season six Game of Thrones. I'm season seven and eight.
42:05
Yes, I'll give you that. I've seen one. Really, I
42:07
mean I've seen a couple more episodes now. But had you talk to me
42:10
ten months ago, I would have seen only one Game of Thrones episode and
42:15
it was the last one. Yeah, that's all I need to say.
42:16
I know who, I know who's on the throne. It's like shocked by
42:21
that. It's like reading Revelation before you read the rest of the Bible.
42:23
Yeah, speaking of Robbie Galadi is a gatting good. I'm trying to pile
42:30
them up. Yeah, I want to be like a month behind him.
42:34
Yeah, it's good. Yeah. He is long hollow up at Hendersonville,
42:38
Tennessee. He's the pastor up there. He was pastor of Priner Baptist.
42:42
He's doing this whole year on Revelation, the whole year. I did see
42:46
a Instagram real of him today. Yeah, and it was talking about,
42:51
you know, the the references that the Bible makes, and there's like sixty
42:55
three, seven and seventy nine like, no, exactly, yeah, I
43:00
mean exactly, yeah, I know it's weird what my brain brain remembers.
43:05
Numbers are good, but you're very good. And but he said, you
43:09
know this would he said, if you look at this and one man has
43:15
written this book, you think this guy's a master like he is, he's
43:19
an expert, like he knows what he's doing. He said, but this
43:22
was written by one hundred and forty men or something like that, over the
43:25
span of fifteen hundred years. And he said, so that leads you to
43:34
believe that there's someone else in charge of all of this. Very good,
43:37
it's really good. That's not verbatim what he said. I'd have to find
43:42
it, but it's he's he's doing a good job, fantastic job from what
43:45
I've seen. So let me say this to you guys that are listening,
43:47
if you if you want a Bible study, or if you wish wanted some
43:50
pot podcast, because every Monday when I'm working out, this is what I
43:52
listened to on Hollow. Yeah, Hollow, I do it on my right
43:55
end. But I've wanted to be behind a podcasts. A podcast it's a
44:00
long haulo church. And well it's just his sermon from the day before,
44:05
Sermon from the Day before. Yeah, And I mean I Robby was the
44:09
pastor when I was first went to Brander Baptist, and I was just blown
44:14
away by him. A very intelligent guy, great insight, does just a
44:17
wonderful job preaching and teaching and breaking it down. And so he's doing this
44:22
whole year on revelation and most it's been my experience that most Christians don't understand
44:27
revelation at all, and they find it scary or it's too symbolic or too
44:32
hard to understand or whatever. You really know the Old Testament, you do.
44:37
And he made a he made a point that I've never heard made before.
44:40
And I've said in some really great pastors, but he's a lot not
44:45
a lot of people preach on revelation because it's people look at it the wrong
44:49
way. He said, what should happen is when you study revelation, you
44:53
should have revelation in one hand, in your Old Testament in the other hand.
44:58
But what happens is people study revelation and in one hand and then they
45:01
have today's news in the other hand, and they're trying to match it,
45:06
you know, And I don't like that I don't like when people do that,
45:08
and so oh well this is you know that we're doing this and here's
45:12
a sign. Look, we not to get onto a big religious thing here,
45:15
but are a Christian thing here. But we've been in the last days
45:19
since they hung him to the cross. Yeah, so let's not you know
45:22
what, a thousand years. It's like the blink of an eye. It's
45:23
nothing. It's nothing. Time means nothing to God, so it means everything
45:29
to us. Moving on, speaking of time, I had the privilege last
45:32
week we talked about the Meet the Tiger's event that's so well done, and
45:37
I got to go Friday night to Kennesaus State's first pitch dinner. It's their
45:44
third one Wringles in seventeen. It was their third one and it was packed.
45:52
But better than that for me was I got to see coach Sansing,
45:54
who was my coach at Shorter and then he coached at Kennesas for five thousand
45:59
years, won two national championships, Hall of Famer. All that looks fantastic.
46:05
He's lost weight, he's a grandfather, he's he had two boys and
46:07
he's got a granddaughter. So his wife, his wife said he's like I
46:13
don't even know this guy, you know, which is awesome, but good
46:19
for him. It was good to see him. I saw Ryan, of
46:21
course, Ryan co friend of the show, LFO alum. Maybe one of
46:25
the best hitters I've ever seen ever. And the dude was an All American
46:30
at three different levels. Think about how hard that it has to do.
46:32
You got to catch it just right. Juco n Ai NCAA D two All
46:37
American American All American. Unbelievable. He's the coach there. It's his third
46:43
year. Got to see his mom and dad, you know, just it
46:46
was great to see people I hadn't seen before. Bow Rudy, his mom
46:50
and dad. I saw him. Dude, let me tell you something about
46:53
bow Rudy. He's a man. Yeah. I mean he's been a big
46:58
fellow since he was in high school. No, No, he's big,
47:04
like he's tall. I mean, he looks the part. Dad said,
47:07
we gotta get into loose some weight. And I'm like, get you in
47:09
D one weight room, that's what will happen. Yeah, And he said,
47:13
we gotta get him lose a little bit of weight. And I was
47:14
like, I don't know, man, he looks really good. He looks
47:17
really good. So, but it's good to see him and his family.
47:21
So it's fun. You know, Kennesaw we got we got Henry Allen coach
47:24
liners a grandson. Don't mean to say it that way to short change John
47:29
and Amy. Uh you know that they're actually his actual parents. Uh.
47:32
But he's committed down there. So there's a good connection locally with Kennasuth State.
47:39
But anyway, Ned Yost was the speaker. He was, yeah,
47:45
another yosts right? Why is Yost dominating this? We already got mcaulay went
47:49
in and but he he was so good that I texted Drew Walker and said,
47:59
you got to get this guy. I said, I don't know how
48:00
y'all do that. I don't know how you pick your guys, but based
48:04
on how I know you run your program, and based on what I just
48:07
heard, this is your guy and we're going to do another Brainer Baptist reference
48:13
here. He said, well, we got a guy, and we got
48:15
an outfielder on our team who was adopted and his dad is a huge Kansas
48:21
City Royals fan. I said, Bicka Freeze. He goes, yeah,
48:23
and I said I know him as I kind of know him. I said,
48:25
he was the pastor. I didn't really know him, but I said,
48:29
he won't know me. But he said he's been on me about getting
48:34
Coachy host and I said, that's the guy. You gotta get him.
48:37
So if it's him next year, your Collinger shut Yeah, yeah, and
48:40
I will go. I mean, we'll go anyway. But he was very
48:45
good, so many good points. And I'm not going to be a spoiler
48:47
here, but he talked about the people who impacted his life the most.
48:52
You know, and if you guys have to do that, if you have
48:54
to take inventory of your own life and list three people who've been the biggest
48:59
impact on your life, you really have to. You've I mean obviously,
49:04
right, I don't you know your life as well as Tyler's, but you've
49:07
played under some pretty influential guys. Yeah. I mean the first one that
49:10
comes to mind is Coach Ponner. Yeah, of course, which I didn't
49:15
realize it, but he was at Kirker Burrell again yesterday and I saw him
49:17
on his lay out. I didn't even bother this. I need to say,
49:20
Hey, I didn't know he was even there. I saw him and
49:22
Jennifer Leavin. Yeah. So, but to narrow it down, miss Potter
49:25
excuse me, yes, does to narrow it down would be tough, but
49:30
think about how special those people are. So he named absolute great story,
49:37
Ted Simmons, who's in the Hall of Fame, who was the catcher,
49:40
he was a number one catcher at Milwaukee when when Ned was the backup catcher,
49:46
and he said, I want to hold here. Barely even spoke to
49:50
him. And the next year he said, I want to I want to
49:53
talk to you. He's like, why's Ted Simmons won talk to me?
49:55
He's Ted Simmons, why do you want to talk to me? And what
49:59
he did was he poured into him. He he just basically said, I've
50:02
had some great people pouring to me and I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna pour into
50:06
you if you're okay with it. And he did, and he just taught
50:08
him baseball. He taught so much about it that when when Ned Jost became
50:14
the manager at Milwaukee, he was at the he was at the National Baseball
50:19
Coaches Winter Meetings, the Winter meetings and they were at Nashville, and uh,
50:23
he saw Ted Simmons and he said, I just wanted to tell you
50:25
thank you. I just you know, I wouldn't be right. I am
50:29
without you all that, he said, Ted Simmons, turn around, walked
50:30
off, just didn't speak, turning, walked off. How would you feel?
50:36
Yeah? But he came back later and said, you know how I
50:39
walked off? He said, because didn't wantee, I didn't want you to
50:42
see me cry. That's pretty good. Ye, good story. Yeah,
50:45
right, So it just Ted Simmons, Bobby Cox. Everybody knows Bobby Coyes
50:47
talks about then. But resident is it? Kevin? I think it's count
50:53
Do you know who the third one was? I would have never guessed it,
50:58
y'all won't guess it in a million years. But it's one of the
51:00
those famous people in y'all's lifetime, in our lifetime. Yeah, Nick seven,
51:04
Nope, Dale, Earn Hart Learn Raisel Praisedale. Yeah uh, and
51:10
he said he was my best friend for fifteen years. That's wow. Yes.
51:14
And he told some great stories there. So I said all that to
51:17
say, man, if Frinkle gets it next year, you all, y'all
51:21
we all go, I mean, well go anyway. But it was great.
51:24
His speech was just so good because this cat got cut from his high
51:28
school baseball team, and he looks like a guy that will get cut from
51:32
his high school baseball team. And he walked on in junior college, walked
51:37
on, and then a couple of years later he got drafted. Crazy and
51:42
he was a player in the big leagues. Right eight ten years been.
51:45
He he caught every bullpen session Greg Maddox, John Smoltz, Steve Avery Time,
51:52
Glad, and he caught all of them. And he said, I
51:55
learned a lot about pitching. Yeah, for real, kid. Uh.
52:00
But he then he went on to Kansas City, was the manager, and
52:02
they won the National National Championship. They won the World Series. So it's
52:05
a great story, very interesting. I had no idea what I was what
52:08
I was getting into. It was great. So let's hope Kenness South State
52:14
has a great year. This is their last year in their conference. They're
52:16
moving to Conference USA next year. Big deal. Yeah, because it'll be
52:20
playing like MTSU and stuff like that. Right, I don't even know who's
52:22
I can't keep up. I think that they might have changed. Yeah,
52:29
Ran, did you see the Kiffin telling the story about I didn't see.
52:31
I saw that on the list, but I know I didn't see that story.
52:35
Yeah. So Kiffin this week talked about he thought one time that Saban
52:39
was going to fight him. And when I read that, I instantly thought
52:44
of what can you think of it? Uh, Joey freshwater no on the
52:50
sidelines when he yeah got I mean it was more than once, but one
52:53
time he really got it. Yeah, I remember that. I thought it
52:57
was that, and I was just read some more that no, no,
53:00
no, wasn't that. It was over practice and Kiffen was the OC and
53:05
he was running trick plays and you guys played football, you know, you
53:09
know you're not. Don't confuse the d don't that's a pride to you.
53:13
If you're trying to do that, that's not helpful. We're trying to get
53:15
ready for this next opponent. They're not going to run these plays. Why
53:20
are you doing that? And Saban got mad and said something to him about
53:24
it, and I'm really watering it down. But then the next day he
53:30
runs out, he comes out two tights, the full back and he's just
53:32
running, you know, just being Lane Kiffin jerk. And at the end
53:39
of practice they were in the office coaches you know, table, and he
53:45
said, I need everybody to go, said Lane, And Kifvin said he
53:49
thought he's gonna fight me. Yeah. Now I would like Kiffin's side of
53:53
that. He's a big man, yeah, and he's young. But if
53:59
this was a verbal just as a stread up verbal altercation, Saban's going yeah,
54:02
yeah, but he said I really thought he was gonna fight me.
54:07
And but he said, to Lane's credit, he said he was right.
54:12
I was just that was a whole line. Yeah, that is funny.
54:14
Yeah, I like like Lane. I don't know. Sometimes yes, he
54:17
can be pampas and arrogant and that's just how that's just his mo o.
54:21
But he does give a lot of credit to Saban about his kind of second
54:24
half of his career saved his career, Yeah, because when he was OC
54:29
at Bama, it really took a turn for him for the better. So
54:32
but I like that he at least acknowledges that with Saban, as he should,
54:37
and everybody knows it's true. I mean, Saban, look at this.
54:40
Sarkesian did the same thing. Seems the only person that hasn't helped his
54:44
butcher Jones, because he sucks. What are you talking about? He's building
54:46
a dynasty down there over there at Arkansas. They made a bowl. They
54:50
made a bowl this year, so was everybody but he you know whatever,
54:53
and then he cried when they got beat by Oklahoma, like by nine hundred.
54:57
Yeah, but what Sabin did down there is highly respectable. Obviously,
55:05
the wins not that, but for individuals what he did for coaches who are
55:08
down and out and stuff like that, And you get the stamp, you
55:12
get the Saban stamp on you. You get another chance somewhere, you get
55:15
another chance. And we all knew when Kiffin left to go to Florida Atlantic
55:21
that he wasn't gonna that was just a stepping stone and they instantly won.
55:24
And he's in a good place at Old Miss. But I don't think that's
55:28
his final spot. No, I could see, well, I don't know.
55:31
I was gonna say, for a while there, I could see him
55:34
going back out to California and doing something like that. But I don't think
55:37
that every word anymore. He's an SEC guy now, Yeah, that's probably
55:40
that's probably right. I mean, he's got his chops here for sure.
55:46
So anyway, I thought you'd like that story. Yeah, Roydnie want to
55:50
introduce our new segment. Yeah, so we don't have any music. We
55:52
should have music. We'll get music. Yeah, So this is a segment
55:55
I've seen on another another show, but it's a it's essentially similar to what
56:00
we've done in the past, you know, like what's hot or what's not
56:04
or if you're familiar with the part of my tape podcasts kind of like the
56:07
hot seat cool Thrown. It's basically, you know, what are you buying
56:09
this week? It can be personally, it can be broad like, you
56:12
know, what's a good thing that you liked, that you have liked you
56:15
have seen this week, or something that you're on you know, like it's
56:19
just I don't know something good, And then what you're selling is obviously you
56:22
know something bad that you want to get rid of or whatever. Could be
56:25
anything. So I'll go first on what I'm buying this week. It's New
56:30
York pizza phenomena. I was up there for Chicago. I was up there
56:35
for four nights. I had pizza four nights, and I wondered why you
56:38
had your pants on button. Yeah, it's it's a little tough scene for
56:43
for me all the way back. But but I so, you know,
56:45
obviously, me being my age, I know that the pizza savant in America
56:50
is day Portnoy. So I looked on the one bite out and I there
56:53
was some eight point six's around and those pretty high. That's a phenomenal score,
57:00
and I'm just a rookie score phenomenal pizzas. So what was your favorite?
57:04
Do you know it's a place called Vicks pizzeriah I mean it was ghenomenal.
57:08
Do you think his last name ends in a vowel? Probably it's the
57:13
fun I'd probably say yes, but yeah, that would be. That's what
57:16
I'm buying this week New York Pizza. Go ahead, I'm Donde Plowman.
57:22
Yeah, I mean, she the clap back from Tennessee. I mean we've
57:30
already sang her praises, so I'm not really gonna have to do a whole
57:31
lot of that, but I I am all in on that. You know,
57:37
she's she defended her university. She called them out intellectually dishonest. That
57:44
is, in short, the NCAA has failed, I mean is failing.
57:50
She called it like it is. And she spoke for every single fan of
57:52
college football. Yeah, not just Tennessee. No, not just Tennessee.
57:55
She defended her university. But if you've been a fan of Tennessee of college
58:00
football forever, like I have, and like, you guys, have you
58:02
know this? She's right, Yes she is. And it's good to see
58:06
someone someone clap back at them. DP. I'm buying. It's baseball season,
58:10
baby. Tomorrow or actually today starts Ringled middle school baseball try outs.
58:16
We have high school baseball this month. We have catchers and pitchers reporting.
58:21
I mean, the grass is a little greener, the sky is a little
58:23
bluer. Water taste a little warmer too. I don't know if it's well,
58:30
that's what I'm getting you, just because I figured I would sell and
58:32
then go back around. Yeah, so I'm buying baseball. I'm glad it's
58:37
here. We ended up losing in the semifinals the other night. It's the
58:42
Heritage Middle School. Do you need a moment to talk about that? No,
58:46
I mean not really. I was there, Yeah, it was.
58:51
We didn't play well. We played well in the first half. We were
58:54
very much a defensive team, and we were up eighth. We were up
59:00
eight at the half and then ended up only scoring nine points in the second
59:04
half and got beat by about ten. It was hard to watch. It
59:07
was hard to watch. And then Heritage went on to play Saddle Ridge in
59:13
the championship and saddle Ridge beat them pretty pretty handedly. Saddle Ridge great basketball
59:17
team. Only two teams in the n GAC beat them all year, US
59:22
in Lakeview and the Warriors. Yeah. So, like I said, I
59:30
talked with Kyle earlier this week, it was just like, man, really
59:32
enjoyed getting coach with you this year. Learned a lot from you. So
59:36
I got no more basketball now than I thought I would ever know, I
59:38
said, and learned a lot. I've learned some things that I'll take with
59:43
me coaching wise too. So hopefully if he'll have me, I'll do it
59:49
again next year. And we are the defending JV Tournament champions, so we've
59:55
got some good kids coming up. But I'm also selling this weather, selling
1:00:00
it it's too soon because I think this is what I like to call and
1:00:05
what we like to call in this area, a false spring. Yeah,
1:00:08
it's a fake spring. It's a it's a head fake. And I just
1:00:13
don't think it's gonna be we play at the end of the month. I
1:00:16
think our first game is like February twenty third. That means it'll be twenty
1:00:21
degrees. I can tell you what day it's gonna be cold. It's gonna
1:00:23
be cold that day. Yeah, it's gonna be cold that day. I
1:00:25
can't tell you what temptare would be, but I can't tell you be pretty
1:00:28
cold. And I'm also selling that lady that hit my truck, so we've
1:00:34
been telling her for weeks that's fair. But yeah, that's that's my buying
1:00:37
soldly. Piggybacking on the baseball thing, Drew Walker did say to me,
1:00:44
are you going to try outs on Monday? I said, depends on the
1:00:46
weather. If it's cold, though I don't do cold weather anymore. Yeah,
1:00:51
he said, crown over seventy and above. He said he was out
1:00:52
for today, which was Friday. He won't be back Friday. As the
1:00:57
months fair, I mean, when you're retired, you don't have to do
1:01:00
that. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm selling.
1:01:05
I had it and I lost it. I don't remember. I don't remember
1:01:07
what I had. Go ahead, run, you're gonna have to skip me.
1:01:12
So I have two. Uh. First one is electric cars and let
1:01:15
me tell you why. Yeah. So, speaking of the New Jersey trip,
1:01:19
I go up there and I yes, I rarely rent a car.
1:01:24
I usually uber Ramba with her work going up there. I had to rent
1:01:28
a car. So I get up there expecting to get you know, some
1:01:31
you know camera or whatever something nothing crazy. The lady goes, do you
1:01:37
want to drive an electric car now that there are some available? And I
1:01:39
was like, why not? Why not? Sure? Didn't tell me that,
1:01:45
but she she sold me on this. She said, usually with you
1:01:47
know, with rentals and gas, you have to fill it up or whatever
1:01:51
or by the whatever, miles saying when you when you get the car.
1:01:54
And she was like, with the electric car, you don't have to fill
1:01:57
it up when you come back, just bring it back out how it is.
1:01:59
I'm like, okay, all right. Didn't tell me that they were
1:02:00
gonna give it to me like thirty percent capacity. And I had to drive
1:02:04
quite a bit so to find a place to charge this car was the most
1:02:09
ridiculous thing I've ever had to do. Unless you have a Tesla. There's
1:02:14
some everywhere, but you can't charge a regular car like a non Tesla on
1:02:17
a Tesla thing. Not to mention the north like three weeks ago, it
1:02:22
was just a parking lot for Tesla's. Yeah. Yeah. So I roll
1:02:24
up to this charge this first charging station, thinking it's going to take you
1:02:28
know, twenty minutes to charge it. I plugged it in and it said
1:02:31
six hours to get it to a reasonable percentage for me to get off the
1:02:37
parking lot. And I'm like, okay, did you lose your mind?
1:02:43
Oh I've I'd have gone back in and trade a car. I say that
1:02:45
I probably said every cussword on planet Earth and create backwards and forwards. Yes,
1:02:50
and so. But I finally finally found a place that would charge it
1:02:53
in a reasonable amount of time. I still had to sit there for forty
1:02:57
five minutes to watch. Oh no, But I was like, never again,
1:03:00
ever, ever, ever, will I get a electric car? Well,
1:03:04
if you do, you'll just say you will give me one that's fully
1:03:07
charged. Yeah. If it's not, see you give me something else.
1:03:09
You've made a career decision. Yeah, right there, right there. And
1:03:13
my second one is Groundhog Day. It's a bunch of crap. It's over
1:03:15
height and he's betten thirty nine percent. You do that in Major League Baseball,
1:03:19
you're in the whole thame. Yeah, but this ain't that. It
1:03:22
hitting three ninety. I want to know what his percent is compared to regular
1:03:25
media or just it seems like they're no better than thirty nine percent. But
1:03:30
this can't be the same groundhome. Oh no, I think this is like
1:03:32
a lineage, you know, kind of like how the universities do with their
1:03:36
live mascots. Yeah, I know hete is not a fan. Yeah all
1:03:38
right, p yoga. Yeah, we saw the graveyard outside of Texas A
1:03:44
and M Kyle Field yep. So yeah. Uh. Not to get somber
1:03:49
on everybody, no, but we did. But back to me is that
1:03:52
if you're you finished, that does it matter back to me? So back
1:03:57
to me, I'm definitely selling John cal party for you're a loser in Kentucky
1:04:02
basketball. Go you're getting paid ten million dollars a year and you skipped out
1:04:11
on the press conference. I don't care what happened. You owe it to
1:04:14
your university, to your program, to you have some class. That's a
1:04:17
good look for your team. Yeah terrible? Uh that And also I'm selling
1:04:23
all the drama over this, over the NFL and Taylor Swift and over people.
1:04:30
I don't like people making this about something it's not. Yeah, hijack
1:04:33
my post and said this. Men just don't want women to watch football.
1:04:36
I couldn't care less who watches football. I couldn't care less about any of
1:04:41
that career trying to push an agenda that's twenty twenty. And it's again,
1:04:45
if you're liberal, I'm I'm going to offend you and I don't care.
1:04:47
But it was a liberal who said it. Uh, And I found in
1:04:51
my life liberals are speak out of emotion and not so much logic all the
1:04:58
time. And that's very much what that was. And you're not gonna I
1:05:02
just laughed. I'm like, this is absurd, it's bad, and this
1:05:06
will be the very little political talk that we ever have on here. But
1:05:11
it's bad when a guy like Joe Rogan, who literally endorsed Bernie Sanders,
1:05:16
is I think he'll vote for Trump this time around? He absolutely will.
1:05:20
There's a reason. And honestly, like we and this is you know,
1:05:24
we can not talk about after this, but we need people like Joe Rogan
1:05:27
so bad. Oh yeah, it's I'm so glad that he got which I
1:05:30
mean it's a win for Spotify obviously, two hundred and fifty million. Like
1:05:34
that dude needs to be a staple on any media because the dude just brings
1:05:40
people on that will just and and the thing is about Joe and if you
1:05:43
haven't seen it, you need to that he pushes back on a lot of
1:05:45
people too, Like, dude, he's if people are accusing him of being
1:05:51
conservative, correct, oh yeah, but like if you're actually listening to his
1:05:56
podcast, like, he's very progressive one hundred percent. He's all about you
1:06:00
know, I'm pretty sure he's all about you know, healthcare and stuff like
1:06:04
that. And then you know he's all about making marijuana legal and stuff like
1:06:08
that. So he's very much a he's he's more less lending than he is.
1:06:13
Right, He's like, but everybody on the left has gone so far
1:06:15
to the left. He's like, I look like I'm right, which is
1:06:17
a lot of people these days. But yeah, but he does push back
1:06:20
on a lot of that stuff. Yeah, anyway, we like you absolutely.
1:06:27
Unfortunately, we don't want to talk about the politics, but it's an
1:06:30
election year when we got all that Rogan is he's actually a voice of reason.
1:06:33
Yeah, in an unreasonable world, you know, And it's crazy to
1:06:38
me, you know, especially now you know X or Twitter whatever you want
1:06:44
to call it has kind of become like Elon Musk has said, the town
1:06:47
Square, Yeah for it really ray thing because and it's a shame that it
1:06:53
took a man to spending forty four billion dollars and probably losing over seventy five
1:06:57
percent of his investment. At this point, I don't think he'll I think
1:07:00
he'll get all that back one day. Yeah, it's a long play.
1:07:05
But the fact that someone had to spend forty four billion dollars to save the
1:07:10
freedom speech you know. Here again back to political talker said, we'm gonna
1:07:15
do it, but I'm gonna do it pretty much. When the liberals get
1:07:18
upset, I think that must be a good thing. Yeah, whatever they're
1:07:21
upset about must be something good. Let me look at that a little bit
1:07:25
further. So it's gonna get crazier election year. Like you said, now,
1:07:29
we've made the two liberals that listen to the show, we've made them
1:07:31
mad. I don't eve know who they are, but there's not many.
1:07:32
It's good gives. I think they have some great ideas, and I'm on
1:07:38
of course they do listen. If I if people actually talk to me about
1:07:41
it, they would be surprised at some of the stances I have on some
1:07:45
things, same the same. I'm just not a lunatic, and both sides
1:07:50
have lunatics. I just don't do extreme. I just don't get my feelings
1:07:54
hurt very often. No good luck trying to hurt my feelings. Yeah.
1:07:59
So anyway, I don't know how we We're just gonna end it right here
1:08:01
because I need to shut up. But good segment. I'll do a better
1:08:06
job on the buy and sale next time. I wasn't as prepared. I
1:08:10
was having to think, I, well, get some music next week.
1:08:11
Well, yeah, it'll be up with something. Yeah, it'll be good.
1:08:14
I think Sanford sent that. I don't even know what that is,
1:08:16
but do you know what it is? Yeah, old classic show. Yeah.
1:08:20
Uh so this is a big week baseball starts. There's gonna be hearts
1:08:24
broken this week when you're making cuts TP, I believe. Well, I
1:08:29
haven't talked to Gavin yet, but the last day is Wednesday, so I
1:08:31
would assume Thursday morning. Wednesday night, I talked to her. Listen,
1:08:35
I know you don't. There's like fifty kids coming out. I get it,
1:08:40
and I think we're only I don't know how many we're keeping, but
1:08:42
we're not gonna keep. We're probably gonna cut over half of those people.
1:08:45
You're breaking hearts, you're killing, you're gonna get sued for killing future earnings.
1:08:50
I mean, it's this is the absurd world we live in. But
1:08:54
anyway, I hope you guys have a great week and tune in next week.
1:09:00
Us. We got everything I need. I'm past, got love all
1:09:03
right with me. Every time guitar, I tell myself it's okay, I
1:09:10
