  SPEAKER_01: Um, so for those of y'all that that don't know, this this podcast is basically here to support the cystic fibrosis foundation.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_01: So any any listens that y'all y'all do for us, you know, listening helps us, but also getting on our website, johnnypacker.net, and ordering some fresh roasted coffee helps us as well.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: But Johnny and I were able to go to Uncork the Cure, the Cystic Fibrosis Fundraiser for the Mid South chapter of CF Foundation.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: It was this past Thursday at Shelby Farms here in Memphis.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: It was it was outside, it was really nice out there.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, there was a couple mosquitoes out there, but otherwise weather was great.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I didn't know you were gonna actually get to do this, but Johnny got up and told part of his story to everybody that was there in attendance uh right before the sound the uh live auction that they had.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: And he was introduced by Joe Birch.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: And if you're from Memphis, you know who Joe Birch is.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: He's the face of the Channel 5 news.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: He's if you're from the Jackson area, he's kind of like David Hartman, Howard Ballou, uh, one of those people, Melody Christopher, that everybody knows.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: He's just everybody in Memphis knows who he is.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_01: And so when he came up there, I was I was pretty excited.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and and you were standing right next to him shaking his hand and everything.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: So that was pretty cool.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: But uh we were able to uh buy the tickets with uh the money that we raised from y'all buying the coffee from us last year, and we made a great donation.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: We we made some bids on the silent auction, we were able to actually sell some more coffee, make some more connections.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: So hopefully we can we can grow this.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: And and I put this on social media, but my goal is for next year at the event, I'd like to be one of the title sponsors.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: And I believe to be a title sponsor, you have to raise five thousand dollars to be able to do that.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: So that is our goal for this upcoming year, and uh, but we couldn't have done it without y'all.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: So appreciate all that.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was uh it was a lot of fun getting to come to this thing.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, they they asked me to uh if I'd get up and share a few words.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: So it was uh pretty neat getting to do that and and seeing uh I didn't I didn't know who Joe Birch was until BW told me.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: And then lo and behold, he gives us a shout-out on his uh social media.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: So that was really cool um seeing that.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: But uh just really neat to see all those people uh because that's what it's all about.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we can get up here and talk all all we can about it, but until actually people uh go forward and and donate, uh that's what makes the difference.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: So uh so they had, like I said, uh Sound Auction, they had a live auction, uh, it was outside, a great event.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: The people that from the uh Tennessee chapter put on a uh did they did a great job, put put on a uh outstanding event and and uh raised a lot of money.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: And that that was the whole point of it is to spread awareness and and raise money, kind of like what we do at our podcast here.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: And uh so pretty much I got to tell the story, you know, about my life, and uh people who listen to this podcast already know about it, but um about mainly why we need donations, because a lot of people think when they hear tricapta, they're like, oh, CF is cured, and you know, uh people are doing doing fine and it's over with.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: But that's not the case at all.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: There's still people out there struggling, living the living with the disease like like we were before before we got the drug because they can't take drugs, take any of the miracle drugs.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: So our goal in in research, uh raising funds for research is to uh help develop drugs, uh miracle drugs modulators is what they call uh to help these uh 10% that they can't take anything because they're literally dying for a drug.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: And and I know the feeling is awful.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: And uh we're doing all our can to uh to spread the word, let people know, and and uh donations count.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're listening to this, you're like, what are they talking about?
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: Donations, go to johnnypacker.net.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Uh BW has all the coffee products on there, and they're really affordable, they'll ship it right to your house.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: And when you make a donation, when you buy a bag of coffee, you're making a donation.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and it goes towards the CF Foundation in hopes of um finding some uh effective treatment for the people that need it with CF.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: So because we said, you know, nobody's gonna stop till CF stands for cure found.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh gosh, we're a long way from where we were when I was born over 40 years ago.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um they said, you know, they announced at the meeting that at the uh where we were at that the uh which we already knew, but the life expectancy for a baby born today with cystic fibrosis is 61 years old.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: When I was born 43 years ago, the life expectancy was 15.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: So uh it's it's gone from 15 to 61, which is just unheard of.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: And that's all because of these modulators that are miracle drugs that have come out uh that are literally stopping the disease from getting worse.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, but it does it can't, that's the pride thing.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't uh everyone with CF can't take it.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's all about your genetic makeup, and there's still people without the proper genetic makeup to take these drugs.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: So uh that's who we're fighting for.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: And uh you're making a you're making a big difference by buying just a simple act of buying a bag of coffee makes a big difference.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: So uh thank y'all so much.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: And uh look forward to going next year.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: Like BW said, hopefully we can get uh get enough donations where we can be one of the sponsors, title sponsors of the event.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so it's uh it's a great thing to to see your work that you've you raised money for to go to such a good cause, and I'm living proof of of what the donations can go to.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: So uh thanks again.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and just one other thing, it was it was a great, great night.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: Man, there were some people there, you know, they had the live auction and and they were just raising money, I mean raising their hands.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: Three thousand dollars, four thousand dollars, four thousand five hundred dollars, you know, just left and right.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: And and it was really cool to see.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: I'd really like to know the total that was raised at the whole event.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: And and that's just the one fundraiser, you know, in the mid-south, and they had to raise a lot of money for that night.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: So it was really, really cool to see.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: So again, just uh appreciate y'all you know making making us build a deer to that.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: A few years ago I went to uh to LA and this is pretty neat, kind of surreal moment for me.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it's called the California Winemasters Association.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's the Citic Fibrosis Foundation out in Los Angeles area.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: They put this event on, and it's on the town square at Warner Brothers on the back lot of Warner Brothers.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: The town square, if you know me, I'm a big Dukes of Hazzard guy.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: It was Hazard County Town Square.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: So that was a thrill moment.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: It was right there, and and it was very similar to that.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: But man, these guys, I mean, they were like celebrities there.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: I think Sean Penn was there one year, uh not MM uh Everlast, he was there because his daughter has CF.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: And they were excuse me, and they were raising money like they raised like a million dollars per event, and uh it was just uh a really big thing.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: So uh, but that's what it count, that's what it takes.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Uh these these auctions and um live auctions, silent auctions, stuff like that to help raise money.

• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Uh BW got up there and and we uh we did a uh bag of coffee, and uh, you know, how much would they?
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: They ended up, I think, bidding$350 for coffee.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: So that was really cool to see.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um so that's what it uh that's what it takes.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: And uh there's so many generous people out there, but all you have to do is just just ask and and let them know that you know it's going towards uh towards a great worthy cause, and and they'll be surprised at the the acts people do to uh to help help the cause.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: So uh anyway, we we appreciate it.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: And uh it was like I said, it was a lot of fun.

  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: Well, let's talk some talk some college football, BW.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: Well, um last week, man, that that Vanderbilt game, Alabama Vanderbilt.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: I just I kept thinking, okay, Bama's gonna wake up, you know, right after the second half or starts.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: They they go down there, they score quick touchdown, and I think, all right, they're they're waking up, they got together, but Vandy just kept coming.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't stop.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: They weren't they weren't intimidated, they weren't scared, and they they took it to Bama.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, they looked like the George Bulldogs out there.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: It was it was crazy.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_01: Then they then they uh took the uprights down to Broadway, dumped it in the river, and it was crazy.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that was awesome to see.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh that uh man, I was so happy for them because they hadn't they hadn't beaten Alabama since 1984, I believe.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: So long or 82 actually.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: So uh and it kind of reminded me of when Mississippi State beat Alabama when they were number one in 1980.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: They showed that during the game, yeah.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: And uh so yeah, we've had John Bond on and talking about that game at Bear Bront.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: And uh that was that's uh people from Vanderbilt fans.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, people at Mississippi State are still talking about that game 44 years later, still talking about it.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: So they'll they'll be talking about this upset over Alabama for years to come.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh that I'll tell you what, they're that quarterback they have, that transfer guy from New Mexico, Diego.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he he he's really good.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: So Vanderbilt is uh they're their team that they they could upset.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: This might be not their only upset of the year.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: They might pull another.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they were impressive.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: They definitely were to watch them.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: And then some, you know, Texas AM took it to Missouri.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: I was expecting that game to be a lot closer than it was.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and so I guess Missouri is was not worthy of the number nine ranking, or AM is better than the 24 or 25 ranking that they were.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: And then Missouri uh I haven't been high on them.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: I thought they were overrated.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: So, but I was surprised that they they won as big as they did.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: But uh, and then Ole Mess took care of business against South Carolina, you know.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: Kentucky uh uh upset them in Oxford, and they they bounced back and they got a big one this weekend, uh Tiger Stadium uh Saturday night.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: So we'll see what they're really made of um on that one.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: And then Arkansas taken down.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: The jukebox gets cranked up against the volunteers.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the jukebox uh got cranked up in Fantville.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: Cold beer, cold beer is all around for Sam Pittman.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: Uh that was a big time win.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: You know, Tennessee was they're they're highly ranked, and I thought they were the real deal, but they kind of stuck Arkansas beat them.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: So you never know.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: Never know where anybody can be beat.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh um Texas and uh who they play this week.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um Red River, they play Oklahoma.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: Right, yeah.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: And then and then they follow that up next week.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they play uh Georgia.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: Georgia.

  SPEAKER_00: So they've got a that we'll be able to tell who Texas is in these next two weeks.

  SPEAKER_00: I didn't I told you about it, but I haven't told our uh listeners about the trip to Austin.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no, yeah, you didn't get to talk about that, yeah, because you were you were there the week before.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I did travel to Austin and uh you know we had our our buddy Vic Schaefer on giving suggestions to people who who went to the game and all that.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I had never been to Austin before or the campus, and uh man, it was awesome.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: It was it was a fun trip.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um glad I went, uh, even though the Bulldogs lost, but they did put up a bite, which was uh promising to see.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: But uh the stadium was really cool.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um, they have a it's kind of hidden gym.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: Not many people saw this, but they have up under the stadium like a a shrine for all their national championships and uh all sorts of the Heisman Trophy was there, the Ricky Williams, all the Natty trophies.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it was really neat to see.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I saw that before, and then and then the game was really cool.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: And uh and Vic had had told me about eating at uh uh Terry Black's um um barbecue.

  SPEAKER_00: I was like, that's a little weird, but I was like, whatever.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: So I ordered it and I'm eating the steak.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: Man, it's very, very good.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: I look down, the people right next to me, they have a uh menu out, and it says on the front cover on the menu, it says J Prime Steakhouse.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, what the heck?
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: This is really weird.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: So I asked the bartender, I was like, hey, this is the Vince Young Steakhouse, right?
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, uh no, sir, that's right next door.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, what?
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm halfway through my meal eating the steak and I'm eating at the wrong steakhouse.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: So uh I ended up going back after it was over with to Vince Young's just to check it out, see what the what the uh scenery was in there, and and uh watched the Bama, Georgia game at the bar at Vince Young's, but uh didn't get a steak from there.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: I ate the steak at J.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: Prime.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: So I told Vic when I when I got back home, I was like, Coach, you won't believe what happened.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: Uh uh I told him the store, and he goes, uh J Prime's one of the best restaurants in uh best steakhouses in Austin.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_00: You did good.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, All right, I guess I guess it all worked out.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: So uh so yeah, J Prime and Vince Young's, but who would have known steakhouses next right next door to each other?
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I guess the Uber driver didn't didn't know, but I should have looked up and I didn't see a sign.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, I got a funny story.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: Well, didn't you tell me that uh when you went to Vince Young's, it was more like Tico's and Jackson, and then uh you know J Prime is more like Ket Kessler Prime kind of comparison sake like that between those two.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's exactly how I would describe it.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um J Prime is very very like Kessler Prime, same type of vibe, and uh Tico's kind of got the casual, you know, you're like in a but like you were at a cabin or something like that.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_00: That type of vibe.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Well nice.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um that's about all I can think about from from last week.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: Other than oh, I was gonna mention um I guess it's probably time to start talking a little bit about the college football playoff.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: And how many how many teams do you think realistically get in from the SEC?
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um so 12 teams.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_01: Do you think we get four or five in from the SEC?
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I think Texas gets in.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh Georgia gets in.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh uh I think Alabama gets in.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: And uh that's three.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: And then I would I would think either um it's the last one's probably either between A and M, Ole Mess, or LSU.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: So I think we get I think we get four in.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and I do you think Tennessee Tennessee's out?
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: Oh Tennessee.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, excuse me, forgot about Tennessee.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: Tennessee.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: I think they get in.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: So I think we get five in.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think we get five.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I I think say it goes like it is.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_01: If Texas doesn't slip up, yeah.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_01: I say Texas, Georgia, and then I think it's between all those that you just mentioned.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: Like Bama, Tennessee, Ole Miss, AM, LSU.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: So it's it's gonna be interesting to see.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I I do think if if Ole Miss loses to LSU this weekend, I think that might be out.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um that's two losses.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh um and loss to Kentucky.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: So I that I think this is it's kind of an elimination game for Ole Miss.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: They have to win this.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: And of course, LSU hasn't played uh they play, yeah, they have one conference win by South Carolina, which they struggled against.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but AM, they don't have a conference loss.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: They have that Notre Dame loss.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then Texas is undefeated.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah, uh it'll be interesting to see.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: I do think we get about four in, maybe.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: Uh five would be a stretch, but uh it's it's coming down.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: We're coming down the stretch right now, or every game counts.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: And I think you probably get in with one loss for sure.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_00: Uh two losses, there it's gonna be it's gonna be tough.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, we'll see what happens.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: I know I could see I could see Texas getting in if they lose to Georgia.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um but yeah, Georgia, Ole Miss, they play each other.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so I was actually, you know, since we're playing Georgia, I was looking at their schedule and they've got us, but then they've got Texas, Florida, Ole Miss, and Tennessee all in line there.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_01: So Georgia's gonna have a tough stretch coming up there, and um, you know, maybe our our only chances this game is if they overlook us, um, looking ahead of that schedule there.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_01: But we're going into uh Rack'em Willie Stadium between the hedges, and it's gonna be a tough, tough one to to come across.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: Rack'em Willie Stadium, that's great.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: Right, sponsored by the Rack and Willie Hot Dogs.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if y'all don't know where we're talking about, go to YouTube, type in Rack'em Willie.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: And uh he he's he's if you don't if you what is it mess with the Georgia Bulldog, you'll feel the Bulldog bite.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: Georgia Bulldog.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah, um, I think they have you ever been to Athens, BW?
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: No, um, you know, when I was in school, somebody went, some of our friends went, and and I I don't even I don't think we played them ever when I was there.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I think some of our friends just went and and I I couldn't go for some reason.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: So I've never been.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've been a couple times.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh excuse me, I went one time when we were in college.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_00: Uh we were playing uh Georgia was playing LSU, and my friend was dating a girl that went to Georgia.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_00: So went over there with him and got to see that game.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: That was really neat.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um experienced the Georgia atmosphere.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: And then me and our buddy uh Pitts uh went um Mississippi State played in 2006, and we still laugh about that to this day.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um we're we're sitting in uh we got our tickets, we're in the Mississippi State section, probably uh man, maybe like five rows up or something.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: We're sitting around all the players' uh appearance, and this was um 2006, I believe.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: So uh Karim was the coach um that year.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_00: Uh but We went and uh and I'll never forget it.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Pitts uh was yelling, man.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_00: He he got mad.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: He was yelling at one of the players.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: And it's funny, I can give I'll give him the shout-out now because I I see him in town a lot.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_00: His name is you might remember him if you're Mississippi State football uh follower.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Eric Butler was his name.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: He he's a good good friend of mine now.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_00: And he he has a kid that's on my buddy's uh son's uh Lily baseball team.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_00: So I see him a lot.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: But uh anyway, uh Eric was the tight end for State and he dropped a pass or something happened.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: And Pitts was he just lost it, man.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: He was so mad, he got mad.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: He was like, Eric Butler, you're a terrible baba.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_00: And then our friend there sitting next to this works when the alumni associated pointed to Pitts and was like, Hey John, uh turn around.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_00: That's his parents right behind us.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: Calm down a little bit.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: So he was like, Oh my gosh, he was like to this day.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Uh if you say Eric Butler, he John Pitts is also like, Oh my gosh, I feel so bad.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_00: And Eric is like the nicest guy in the world, but uh yeah, that's what that was a funny, funny trip.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: And then uh and then I went back, I think in uh 11, I believe, uh, when we played with when when Dan Mo was there, and and uh we didn't I've never seen Miss B State win there, and but yeah, it's a it's a fun place to go.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, shout out to John Pitts.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_01: He he's uh if you never met him, he's he's not a big dude, he's a little guy, but he's he's got a lot of fighting and and he gets when he gets riled up, he gets riled up.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: But he is he is a loyal bulldog.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, when I was in college, you know, we're down 40 to nothing, and it's 90 degrees outside, I'm out of there.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_01: And Pitts says, No, the players need us, we are not leaving this game, we're staying, and he would he would be there to the last minute, didn't matter what score was, he was there, and he knew all the players.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, this was before social media really, and you didn't really recognize people and they had helmets on and and you'd see him, and and we'd pull up to the gas station, Pitts would say, Oh, there's so-and-so.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, how do you know that, Pitts?
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_01: And we were I remember one time we were at a gas station, and Travis Outlaw that was supposed to play foot uh basketball for Mississippi State.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: Pitts was like, There's Travis Outlaw, I'm gonna go talk to him.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: And he goes up to him and shakes his hand.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: Travis Outlaw and John Pitts like introduces himself to him and everything.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, Who is this guy?
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_01: I have no clue who he is.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: So Pitts, Pitts knew all this way before anybody else.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if he's he's still into it like he is now.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: He's got he's got two kids and he and he's busy, but uh shout out to John Pitts for listening.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that was uh that was funny.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: I always remember I text him the other day, I was like, uh, you going to Georgia?
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh Eric Butler is always who who we talked about.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: But uh, but yeah, I think uh, you know, everyone says after Vandy won, man, everybody's got a chance in the SEC.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: And uh nope, not with Missouri State, not with our team.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_00: But um, I do think uh that was I hate to I hate to say a moral victory, but that's kind of what that was against Texas because uh everybody knows our season was going down fast, losing to Toledo like we did.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, everyone's saying one and eleven, you know, all that sort of stuff.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: But we showed some fight against Texas, and and that was promising, but I I just don't see it's uh being Georgia at all.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh I think if I had to pick the score, I'd probably say something like 44 to 10.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um I think they'll they'll they'll put up a lot of points, and then I think one might score a garbage time uh touchdown at the end of the game.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_00: But um I I don't see us, I don't see it being a very competitive game.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but hey, we know going in that we're probably gonna lose.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_00: But um everyone says every anything can happen, just look at Vanderbilt.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_00: But if Mississippi State beats Georgia, then that would be that would be huge, but don't see it happening.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: What are you what are your thoughts?
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think our anything could happen moment was that Texas game.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: There was there was a couple opportunities that that we didn't capitalize on.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um that we we legitimately could have won that game.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: We we we did have a chance.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we were in that game until the fourth quarter.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_01: Um, there was a couple drop passes they had that that should have been, you know, a little bit more out of reach, but we were in it.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: We were getting some push on our our offensive line was getting some push.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: We were running the ball.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: I was really shocked that we were we were able to do that against Texas.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_01: I don't see us doing it against Georgia.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I mean I could be shocked, but I just think the timing's not right.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, if Georgia maybe wouldn't have lost to Bama, they may have overlooked us a little bit, but I just don't think, like you said, they nobody really needs to lose any more games going forward.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_01: So they're gonna be locked in.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_01: Kirby's gonna have them rolling.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_01: I man, speaking of Kirby, I would not want to be on his bad side.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_01: He's he's not a dude.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_01: He like Saban, I mean, I wouldn't want him mad at me at all.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but yeah, I think I I'll give us a little bit more credit, maybe 45-14, but that's all I that's all I can see.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um the Texas game going back to that.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it could have been seven to six at halftime.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_00: We gave up a touchdown because we did the half, and I felt that felt like after giving up that touchdown, I was like, gosh, going in, it's a big difference going in uh 14 to 6 compared to 7 to 6.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: If we had gone in half seven to six, you know, we're we got a fighting chance.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_00: And then but coming back at in the second half and getting down, it just it was hard.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_00: But but they did, like you said, they they were able to run the ball and they they we showed some improvement.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_00: So that was that was promising.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: But uh Georgia, it's different, different story.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_00: I think, like you just said, uh, after seeing Alabama lose to Vandy, they're gonna be extra focused and and they're not gonna not gonna overlook us at all.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_00: But uh talking about Kirby and being a tough coach like Saban, that guy at the end of the Alabama game, I don't know if you saw this, but uh Malachi Moore, I believe, is uh what he did at the end of the game.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_00: If if Nick Saban was the coach at Alabama and that guy did that, he would be cut from the team, probably.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_00: Saban would care who who he was or what or how good he was, he'd be off the team.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_00: And this guy, Kalen De Boer, I mean, I don't know, like it's just a totally different vibe with Alabama now.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: And and um uh I think it's gonna cost them.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: It obviously they lost to Vanny, and but uh you just there's a I don't know how to describe it.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's just uh different mindset, I guess.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: Nick Saban's a hard, hard-nosed old school college football coach, and and uh that's why he was so successful.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh and this guy, Caleb De Boer, I mean, I mean, what he said, oh the guy issued an apology and we're taking care of it in-house.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's like that's not what Saban would have this guy a new one and cut him off the team or something or benched him or something, but I don't know.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I think they got discipline issues over at Alabama, it looks like after seeing that.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_01: If you go back and look at Washington last year, there was a couple games that were very similar to that Vanny game that that they were able to win and ultimately, you know, make it all the way through.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_01: But there was there's a couple games that they were in games with people that they should have beaten a lot more than they did, and they just kind of came down to the wire several times.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: And so I don't know what it is about you know his his coaching style, but you know, preparation may not be as his strong suit for certain games, or he right whatever it is, he's not as locked in as as Saban was on that.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_00: But uh speaking of I'm glad you said that.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_00: Speaking of Washington, I want to give uh Washington Huskies and Will Rogers a shout-out.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you watched that game, but they played uh Michigan, the defending national champions this weekend and beat Michigan.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_00: And uh Will had a nice uh touchdown pass.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_00: I remember turning it, tuning into it, and just seeing it.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: And uh that was awesome seeing seeing Will and Michigan do that.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_00: And then they interviewed Will after the game.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: And uh man, I've said it before, say it again with so many good things about that guy.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_00: He's had such bad luck through the years uh with with Coach Dyne and switching coaches and transferring and getting injured and blah, blah, blah, all this sort of stuff has been gone the wrong way.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: And uh so it was good to see him getting on the national stage and and beating the defending national champions and and uh getting some praise.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: So uh I know uh a lot of a lot of Mississippi State fans still still uh and they should still cheer for him because he he's a leader on and off the field and he's gonna be successful in life at whatever he does.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh can't say enough good things about Will Rogers, and we'll still be pulling for him.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_00: Uh hopefully Washington can somehow get into the playoffs uh at the end of the season.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_00: So uh uh we're definitely cheering for cheering for Will.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, sir.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_01: Well, all right, Johnny.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be another good weekend for college football.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_01: Looking forward to it.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_01: And we will talk to everybody next week.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds good.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_01: All right, thank y'all for listening.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_01: Good dog.
