- 0:06Speaker 1: Clay Travis Law. Accidents don't wait for good timing. One
- 0:09Speaker 1: bad moment, a wreck, a fall, a doctor who wasn't
- 0:11Speaker 1: paying attention, and suddenly you're fighting an insurance company that
- 0:14Speaker 1: does this every single day. That's why Clay started Clay
- 0:17Speaker 1: Travis Law. He's a Vanderbilt law grab. He built a
- 0:20Speaker 1: firm around one idea. People deserve someone willing to pay attention,
- 0:23Speaker 1: ask the hard questions, and push back whenever things don't
- 0:27Speaker 1: add up. experienced trial attorneys who bring the fight to
- 0:30Speaker 1: corporations and insurers based in Nashville, trusted across the country.

- 1:02Speaker 1: Chad, for those who missed it last week, primary complaint,
- 1:05Speaker 1: it's up again. We normally do this on Wednesdays. We
- 1:08Speaker 1: had two guests on yesterday, so we have primary complaint
- 1:12Speaker 1: today on this Thursday. You air your top grievance of
- 1:15Speaker 1: the week. You can do that with us in the
- 1:16Speaker 1: chat if you'd like. You can do that by hitting

- 1:23Speaker 1: Certainly the chat on Facebook where we're streaming live right now. Sportingstate.com,
- 1:27Speaker 1: streaming live there each and every morning. Primary complaint. Air
- 1:30Speaker 1: your top grievance of the week. Get pissed off for
- 1:33Speaker 1: greatness with us. You get one complaint, not two, not three.
- 1:36Speaker 1: This is your primary complaint of the week. It can
- 1:39Speaker 1: be about anything you want it to be. And you're
- 1:43Speaker 1: able to get it off your chest. My primary complaint
- 1:46Speaker 1: this week, those that... I say those. It could have
- 1:52Speaker 1: been one person.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Someone....
- 1:56Speaker 1: Just tore up the star for Dolly Parton on the
- 1:58Speaker 1: walk of fame, downtown Nashville.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Oh, um, where they like.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Took like a chisel or like a shovel or something
- 2:05Speaker 1: to the name itself. And then I tried to scratch
- 2:07Speaker 1: it out. Um, there's a, you know, there's a place
- 2:13Speaker 1: in hell for that person. I'll just say that the
- 2:17Speaker 1: person that is trying to, uh, Take the face of
- 2:22Speaker 1: the star off the Walk of Fame for Dolly Parton
- 2:25Speaker 1: in Nashville just because the woman passed away.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Ridiculous. It's my primary complaint. The idiots that think that's funny.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Remember how when Keith Bullock stomped on the terrible towel
- 2:38Speaker 2: and Steelers fans acted like he stomped on the cloak
- 2:41Speaker 2: of Christ by doing that and talked about all the
- 2:44Speaker 2: meaning of the children's hospital and where the money goes
- 2:47Speaker 2: and all that, and they were just way over the top.
- 2:50Speaker 2: about a symbolic, like stomping on a piece of cloth,
- 2:53Speaker 2: and that he had desecrated some holy object because it
- 2:55Speaker 2: was a towel that people wave over their heads at
- 2:57Speaker 2: a football game. I can't use hyperbole when I talk
- 3:02Speaker 2: about how low that is to desecrate the star of
- 3:05Speaker 2: Dolly Parton. So this is one where the analogy actually fits.
- 3:09Speaker 2: This is almost like a religious relic that you're stomping on,
- 3:12Speaker 2: that you're defacing if you're that person. Totally, totally ridiculous.
- 3:18Speaker 2: And by the.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Way- This is like someone took a spray paint or
- 3:23Speaker 1: something and spray painted over it. I don't know what
- 3:27Speaker 1: you would use, a chisel or an ice pick or something,
- 3:30Speaker 1: but literally tried to sketch out the name Dolly Parton
- 3:35Speaker 1: and remove it from the streets of Nashville.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Ridiculous. Jake Keller in the chat says, Clay Travis is
- 3:43Speaker 2: a coffee company owner, law firm owner, media outlet owner,
- 3:45Speaker 2: and a professional flute player.
- 3:48Speaker 3: What can't he do?
- 3:50Speaker 2: My response to what can't he do, Hutton, was sell pants.
- 3:55Speaker 2: That's the one thing that we know that he can't do.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Cannot sell pants. That's my response.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Pants optional. Pants optional for Sporting State.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Cannot sell pants. He's still got a warehouse full of
- 4:04Speaker 2: pants somewhere that he could not unload. My primary complaint
- 4:08Speaker 2: this week, I get way too many text messages like
- 4:11Speaker 2: this one that we're going to show you right now. Hi,
- 4:14Speaker 2: I'm Matthew with Friends for Peace. What are your thoughts
- 4:17Speaker 2: on the U.S.-Israel partnership? Can we chat? Stop to end.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Can we chat?
- 4:23Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC. It's weird that
- 4:29Speaker 2: you're here, right? You see how this is weird? Chris Hansen,
- 4:32Speaker 2: as he talks to somebody.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I have a seat right there. Do you enjoy your cookie?
- 4:35Speaker 2: You know how this looks, right? When he shows up
- 4:37Speaker 2: at the house.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Do you enjoy your cookie?
- 4:39Speaker 2: Hutton, look, I try to educate myself on issues of
- 4:43Speaker 2: the world at times. I try to have an opinion
- 4:46Speaker 2: on most things. I think every American citizen has their
- 4:49Speaker 2: right to an opinion on any issue, if you want.
- 4:53Speaker 2: I'll also say that I'm smart enough to know what
- 4:55Speaker 2: I know, and I'm smart enough to know what I
- 4:57Speaker 2: don't know. And if you were sending me a blind text...
- 5:00Speaker 2: from some organization to ask my thoughts, Chad Withrow, on
- 5:05Speaker 2: U.S.-Israel relations or the war in Iran or anything else,
- 5:10Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you I'm not really offering up
- 5:12Speaker 2: much on those issues, all right? I know probably what
- 5:15Speaker 2: other people have seen. But the fact that anyone values
- 5:18Speaker 2: that is dumb to me. And the fact that I
- 5:21Speaker 2: continue to get hit over the head with these texts,
- 5:25Speaker 2: political texts all the time, someone running for Congress or
- 5:29Speaker 2: would Tennesseans need your help, Chad, on this issue or
- 5:32Speaker 2: whatever it is. It is blinding the amount of spam
- 5:37Speaker 2: that I receive via text, via phone call all the time.
- 5:41Speaker 2: I've got one company, I've looked into every possible way
- 5:44Speaker 2: to stop them from calling me and leaving messages, but
- 5:46Speaker 2: I have like American tax advisors, I think it is.
- 5:49Speaker 2: I look down, I see the AI description of the voicemail.
- 5:52Speaker 2: I get one or two a day from them and
- 5:55Speaker 2: I know it's them calling every time and I'm don't
- 5:57Speaker 2: answer it. They leave a message. I eventually go back
- 6:00Speaker 2: and delete the messages. Maddening Hutton. But especially when I'm
- 6:03Speaker 2: asked about U.S.-Israel relationships, I just, I laugh.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Man, and I love how it's like, can we talk?
- 6:13Speaker 3: Can we talk?
- 6:15Speaker 2: I mean, who picks up the phone and it's like,
- 6:17Speaker 2: calls that number? And it's like, you know, actually, I
- 6:19Speaker 2: really do want to chat. Let's talk about it.
- 6:21Speaker 1: One of you are like, Matthew, this is Chad Withrow,
- 6:25Speaker 1: friends for war. Instead of friends for peace.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Right.
- 6:28Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on never contacting me again?
- 6:31Speaker 2: Yes. You and I, Matthew, will go to war. I
- 6:35Speaker 2: know that you're a friend for peace, but we will
- 6:36Speaker 2: go to war personally if you continue to text me.
- 6:39Speaker 3: JT, your primary complaint. Yeah, guys.
- 6:45Speaker 2: A couple of things I want to hit on here. Politeness.
- 6:48Speaker 4: It's what you do to make sure that your partner
- 6:50Speaker 4: likes something, too. So you wait for them to decide.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Vague desires. You know that you want something, but nothing
- 6:57Speaker 4: sounds good. A mind reading trap, hoping that the other
- 7:01Speaker 4: person will magically guess the exact craving that you cannot name.
- 7:06Speaker 2: But here's what it truly is.
- 7:08Speaker 4: I realize it's called decision fatigue. Your brain is tired
- 7:12Speaker 4: from making choices all day at work or home. Why
- 7:17Speaker 4: in the hell can my wife not make up her
- 7:20Speaker 4: mind on what the hell she wants to eat for
- 7:22Speaker 4: dinner every single night?
- 7:25Speaker 2: Amen. Amen, JT. You're speaking to a lot of partners,
- 7:30Speaker 2: spouses out there, everyone.
- 7:32Speaker 3: What if?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Now, the decision fatigue I get, like my wife has
- 7:35Speaker 2: to make a ton of decisions all day about school
- 7:38Speaker 2: and sports and job and all this stuff. And she's
- 7:41Speaker 2: making more decisions than I am in terms of our
- 7:44Speaker 2: kids and what's going on. But here's what does bother me,
- 7:48Speaker 2: and I think most husbands can.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Agree with this.
- 7:51Speaker 2: It's when you get to the, okay, what do you
- 7:53Speaker 2: want to eat? We're leaving a practice or a game.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Where do you want to stop on the way home?
- 7:59Speaker 2: And it's, JT knows this, it's I don't care. Whatever
- 8:02Speaker 2: you want. And then you go through three different options
- 8:04Speaker 2: that they don't want. Well, what about this? No, I
- 8:07Speaker 2: want something lighter than that. Well, what about this? No,
- 8:09Speaker 2: I'm not in the mood for that. Then tell me
- 8:11Speaker 2: what you want, because I can literally eat anything. Hutton
- 8:15Speaker 2: knows this. I am agreeable to pretty much any restaurant option.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I will find something to eat anywhere we go.
- 8:22Speaker 3: And here's the other thing, too.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Chad and I, if we get something on our mind,
- 8:25Speaker 1: chances are we've already had it. So if we're thinking Arby's,
- 8:29Speaker 1: we've already had Arby's. The craving's over because we had
- 8:31Speaker 1: Arby's on the way home.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Hunt and I now make it just an– if we're
- 8:37Speaker 2: driving to a college football game or to an event somewhere,
- 8:40Speaker 2: it's an Arby's stop if it's a road trip. It's
- 8:42Speaker 2: kind of become a tradition that it's like Pavlov's dog.
- 8:46Speaker 2: The bell rings and you start thinking of something. When
- 8:49Speaker 2: Hunt and I are in the same vehicle together, we
- 8:50Speaker 2: think Arby's. We think the Meats. That's what we want,
- 8:54Speaker 2: and we stop every time and get Arby's.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Now, what if we do it like this, guys?
- 8:57Speaker 1: What if we flip the script and we start asking,
- 9:01Speaker 1: tell me what you don't want, and I'll choose. That way,
- 9:05Speaker 1: whatever I choose is not going to be something.
- 9:08Speaker 3: That you don't want.
- 9:11Speaker 4: I mean, last night it was this. You leave the
- 9:13Speaker 4: ball field, 105-degree heat index. Hey, it's hot. I don't
- 9:19Speaker 4: really want anything heavy. Okay, how about a salad from–
- 9:22Speaker 4: There you go.
- 9:23Speaker 3: There you go.
- 9:24Speaker 2: No. No.
- 9:25Speaker 4: What about Chick-fil-A?
- 9:27Speaker 2: No. What about Chipotle? Hell, let's go to Toots. No.
- 9:32Speaker 3: Good food and fun.
- 9:33Speaker 2: No, I don't want that. What do you want? Toots
- 9:35Speaker 2: is great. I never say no to Toots. Come on. JT,
- 9:40Speaker 2: here's what I started doing. Give three options. I'm usually like,
- 9:43Speaker 2: all right, here are three things that I want, so
- 9:46Speaker 2: I'll give you the choice of like three differing options,
- 9:48Speaker 2: and you pick between the three.
- 9:49Speaker 3: I'm thinking here or here.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Yeah, like it was Burger Week in Mount Joy last
- 9:55Speaker 2: week in my town. All right, so I looked on
- 9:58Speaker 2: Instagram for all the burgers. of the different restaurants, the
- 10:01Speaker 2: specialty burgers off menu items they were offering. And I
- 10:05Speaker 2: gave Angie two options. I was like here or here
- 10:08Speaker 2: is what I'm thinking. And then she quickly chose between
- 10:11Speaker 2: the two options and it was fine. And that's where
- 10:13Speaker 2: we went to have our burger. When is it not
- 10:15Speaker 2: burger week, Chad? Well, it's always Burger Week for me.
- 10:18Speaker 3: There we go.
- 10:19Speaker 2: In the town of Mount Juliet, it's Burger Week just
- 10:21Speaker 2: in a way.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Oh, okay. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 10:23Speaker 2: It's Burger Week every day.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Every day, yeah.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Let's get it straight. Mark on YouTube says, My primary
- 10:31Speaker 2: complaint is straight people who call their significant others partner.
- 10:35Speaker 2: If you're not gay, a cowboy, or both, don't say partner.
- 10:42Speaker 3: My partner.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Well said.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Like, look.
- 10:45Speaker 2: If you're gay even, just say your boyfriend or your girlfriend.
- 10:50Speaker 2: The partner thing is really a last five or ten
- 10:52Speaker 2: year construct.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Chad, you know what it's done? It's taken away our
- 10:56Speaker 1: ability to call each other partners.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Right.
- 10:59Speaker 2: I have to say broadcast partner because people will be confused.
- 11:03Speaker 2: If I say, oh, I'm here with my partner, Jonathan Hutton.
- 11:06Speaker 2: They're going to be very confused. We watch an episode
- 11:08Speaker 2: of Tires on the drive back from Birmingham where.
- 11:11Speaker 3: There was a lot of confusion. There you go.
- 11:13Speaker 2: That the one guy was talking about Shane and they
- 11:17Speaker 2: thought that they were partners, partners, right?
- 11:19Speaker 3: Will the gay. Will the gay.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Yes. Will and Shane were deemed to be partner partners
- 11:24Speaker 2: and not just work partners. You got to really specify now,
- 11:28Speaker 2: but I do not like the term partner either. I'm
- 11:30Speaker 2: with him on that. It's husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, or
- 11:34Speaker 2: I mean, if you're just dating a friend, here's my friend,
- 11:37Speaker 2: such and such. You don't have to, I don't need,
- 11:40Speaker 2: what is even the leveling up to get to partner, partnerdom?
- 11:44Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. I don't understand. But like,
- 11:47Speaker 2: even for gay people, it's like a woman, this is
- 11:50Speaker 2: my wife for a man. This is my husband. Like
- 11:52Speaker 2: I would know exactly what that is and shake their
- 11:55Speaker 2: hand if, if meeting them, right? Like partner, uh, I'm
- 11:59Speaker 2: with you, Mark. I'm with you, man. I'm with you.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Good one, Mark.
- 12:04Speaker 2: It's one of those terms that has really risen in
- 12:06Speaker 2: the last, I'd say, seven years to where it's become
- 12:09Speaker 2: a very popular thing.
- 12:10Speaker 3: JT, why is that? Why do you guys always say partner?
- 12:13Speaker 2: Yeah. JT's like, you just don't understand. There's a reason.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Yeah. You guys will never understand. That is primary complaint.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Straight white guys will never understand, Hutton. Same to you, Mark.
- 12:33Speaker 2: We just won't ever get it.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Yeah, Chad and I are no longer broadcast partners because
- 12:37Speaker 1: we say partners and our microphone messes up.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Chad and I are partners. That's all you hear.
- 12:44Speaker 2: It's not what you think. We promise. What is the
- 12:47Speaker 2: straight white guy? SWG? Is that what they go by?
- 12:50Speaker 2: What is that?
- 12:50Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 12:51Speaker 2: In the acronym world. I got something from Kelly Stewart yesterday.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Asking me a question, I responded, and then she gave
- 12:58Speaker 2: me an acronym back, and I was like, I have
- 12:59Speaker 2: no idea what you just said. And it was FFS.
- 13:02Speaker 2: No idea.
- 13:04Speaker 3: You know what that is, Sutton? Yes, I do know
- 13:06Speaker 3: what it is.
- 13:07Speaker 2: For F's sake.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Is what that is.
- 13:10Speaker 3: That's what I was going to guess.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Never, yeah. Good job. Good job, because I.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Had no clue.
- 13:15Speaker 1: But it had to come from her for me to
- 13:16Speaker 1: figure it out. If you would have said FFS or whatever,
- 13:20Speaker 1: I would have had no clue.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking college football. I responded with an
- 13:25Speaker 2: answer to a question, and the response was FFS. And
- 13:28Speaker 2: I said, I'm either too old, not cool enough, or something.
- 13:31Speaker 2: I have no clue. I didn't want to Google it either.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I just wanted her to explain it to me. But
- 13:37Speaker 2: did not know FFS until yesterday. Thank you, Kelly. And
- 13:40Speaker 2: by the way, on tilt, 4 o'clock Eastern time, 3
- 13:43Speaker 2: o'clock Central, every afternoon.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Nico, year two. We discuss it next here on Hunting

- 14:01Speaker 1: the patriot, the backwoods legend.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Look at the logo. Davy surfing on the backs of crocodiles. Beautiful.

- 14:13Speaker 1: here in America, in Tennessee, the heart of the country.

- 14:24Speaker 1: even a mushroom blend. Whole bean, you've got ground, you've
- 14:27Speaker 1: got K-cups, however you make it in the morning. That
- 14:30Speaker 1: logo goes great.
- 14:32Speaker 2: On a hat, too, because I've seen it on a hat.

- 15:09Speaker 1: David Crockett. One of my favorite movies growing up. David Crockett,
- 15:13Speaker 1: King of the Wild Frontier.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Excellent. That one, it reminds me kind of of another
- 15:17Speaker 2: great Tennessee story, Walking Tall, the Buford Pusser story. My
- 15:21Speaker 2: dad showed me that when I was really little, and
- 15:23Speaker 2: I thought I was watching something I shouldn't be watching,
- 15:26Speaker 2: but about the sheriff and I think McNary County in
- 15:29Speaker 2: West Tennessee, the true story. Awesome. I think it's in
- 15:32Speaker 2: the 70s, probably that movie came out. Really good. I
- 15:35Speaker 2: hear Tunnel to Towers also, and I think about Gary Sinise.
- 15:38Speaker 2: who I believe has a lot to do with that organization.
- 15:41Speaker 2: I just recently, it took me about four nights to finish,
- 15:43Speaker 2: but I finished Apollo 13 and went back and watched it.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Movie from 1995. I want to raise this quickly before
- 15:50Speaker 2: we talk, Nico. The 90s and the movies of that era,
- 15:54Speaker 2: and the 80s also, did a remarkable job of ending
- 15:58Speaker 2: at the most climactic point and not giving you 25
- 16:02Speaker 2: minutes of filler after the ending. The ending of Apollo 13,
- 16:06Speaker 2: first off, incredible movie. A great story of American ingenuity
- 16:10Speaker 2: when you think about what they did. We never went
- 16:12Speaker 2: up there, Chad. We know plenty of people who don't
- 16:16Speaker 2: think we were ever up there. Watching even the engineers
- 16:20Speaker 2: get all the materials they had on the ship in
- 16:22Speaker 2: the room and figure out how are we going to
- 16:25Speaker 2: get this into this and make this happen. They're just
- 16:28Speaker 2: working day and night. to make it happen is incredible.
- 16:31Speaker 2: Love the movie. But I mean, the moment, spoiler alert,
- 16:34Speaker 2: they make it home. In Apollo 13, when they touch
- 16:37Speaker 2: down in the ocean and they get pulled out and
- 16:39Speaker 2: they're on the USS Iwo Jima, they're on the aircraft carrier.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Tom Hanks still has the beard from when he was
- 16:44Speaker 2: up in space. And they're waving to everybody. Tom Hanks
- 16:47Speaker 2: is doing the voiceover. The thing ends. I mean, three
- 16:50Speaker 2: minutes after they splash down, And the control room's going nuts.
- 16:55Speaker 2: You can't beat a mission controller. Cigarettes flying. Cigarettes flying
- 16:58Speaker 2: in the air. Ash is everywhere. They just end the
- 17:03Speaker 2: damn movie, and it's perfect. And I'm like, man, I
- 17:06Speaker 2: leave on a high. I had a hard time going
- 17:08Speaker 2: to sleep last night watching this, the end of it.
- 17:10Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm pumped up. Let's go beat the commies
- 17:13Speaker 2: at something else right now. I would also say I
- 17:16Speaker 2: feel like America's at its best when we have a
- 17:19Speaker 2: clear enemy. and that we accomplished more. Like during the
- 17:23Speaker 2: Cold War, we got stuff done because there was the
- 17:26Speaker 2: specter of the USSR at all times. We haven't had
- 17:30Speaker 2: that since the Berlin Wall fell and since communism fell
- 17:34Speaker 2: in Russia. We have these different shadow enemies, sure, but
- 17:38Speaker 2: when it was like a clear cut, here's the enemy,
- 17:40Speaker 2: we must beat them to the moon, we must beat
- 17:43Speaker 2: them in weapons, we must beat them with our economy,
- 17:47Speaker 2: I think America has thrived at its best in that time,
- 17:50Speaker 2: and it feels like since the early 90s on, we
- 17:54Speaker 2: don't have the same ingenuity that we had during Apollo 13.
- 17:58Speaker 2: But I wanted to give a shout-out to Ron Howard
- 17:59Speaker 2: and the makers of that great film for ending the
- 18:02Speaker 2: movie where it should have, because if that movie's made today, Hutt,
- 18:05Speaker 2: it's three hours long.
- 18:06Speaker 3: It's another 30 minutes. Why does it need to be
- 18:08Speaker 3: three hours long?
- 18:10Speaker 1: Why did it change to where the producers.
- 18:14Speaker 3: The directors.
- 18:16Speaker 1: The cutting room floor doesn't leave more on the cutting
- 18:18Speaker 1: room floor. Why the necessity to say, you know what?
- 18:23Speaker 1: The audience needs more. They're demanding more. I'm not demanding more.
- 18:28Speaker 3: More is less.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I'm with you. And also, it's almost a point of
- 18:32Speaker 2: pride for the filmmaker that, you know, and I love
- 18:34Speaker 2: Christopher Nolan. I'll sit through all three hours of his movies.
- 18:37Speaker 2: It's three plus hours for The Odyssey. It's a good movie.
- 18:40Speaker 2: It was an enjoyable experience. It's really well done. But
- 18:42Speaker 2: I would also argue that with Christopher Nolan or others,
- 18:45Speaker 2: it almost becomes a point of pride that I've shot
- 18:49Speaker 2: this much film and I've got this much great stuff
- 18:51Speaker 2: and I'm not going to take as much out. So
- 18:53Speaker 2: let's bloat this thing up to two hours and 53
- 18:56Speaker 2: minutes or however long it's going to be. There should
- 18:59Speaker 2: be a point of pride for making a tight, action-packed,
- 19:05Speaker 2: fantastic hour and 40-minute movie. Like the art of the
- 19:09Speaker 2: hour and 35, hour to 45 movie is a lost art, right?
- 19:15Speaker 3: I don't think it's a lost art.
- 19:17Speaker 1: I think it is like there's some necessity to stretch
- 19:22Speaker 1: out what is the artful, like you're saying, hour 50.
- 19:27Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, it's like a demand to stretch
- 19:30Speaker 1: it to 215.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Yep. Well, another movie I rewatched, and all these movies,
- 19:35Speaker 2: by the way, are on Netflix, where I'm mostly at
- 19:37Speaker 2: at night if I'm watching something. But another 90s movie
- 19:40Speaker 2: I watched recently, Speed. It's the opposite of what we
- 19:43Speaker 2: see today. It's an hour and 40-minute movie. There's not
- 19:46Speaker 2: a second that you're not on the edge of your
- 19:47Speaker 2: seat in that movie. It goes from one second. piece
- 19:50Speaker 2: to the next. You're on the bus, you know, for
- 19:52Speaker 2: the bulk of it with Keanu Reeves and Sandy Bullock,
- 19:55Speaker 2: but no wasted time, Hut. And when that thing ends,
- 19:58Speaker 2: it ends quickly. There's not 25 minutes of, oh, here's
- 20:02Speaker 2: Keanu and Sandra Bullock getting to know each other better. No,
- 20:06Speaker 2: They made out on the ground when he saved her.
- 20:10Speaker 2: They're off to the races. I mean, you know exactly
- 20:13Speaker 2: what's happening that night.
- 20:14Speaker 3: It was done.
- 20:15Speaker 1: The deal was done, right? I mean, it was perfect.
- 20:18Speaker 1: There's no big storyline afterwards.
- 20:20Speaker 4: No.
- 20:21Speaker 2: There's no second film. No, it was perfect.
- 20:24Speaker 3: It's a perfect.
- 20:26Speaker 2: encapsulation of what you want in an hour and 40
- 20:28Speaker 2: hour and 45 minute movie we've lost our way with
- 20:31Speaker 2: that that every big movie now spider-man i talked about
- 20:34Speaker 2: spider-man doesn't need to be over two hours i enjoyed
- 20:37Speaker 2: the movie i would have enjoyed it more than an
- 20:38Speaker 2: hour and 50 minutes than two and a half hours.
- 20:41Speaker 1: It's like but but do you can you recall when
- 20:44Speaker 1: this changed this is within the last like 10 years i.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Think i remember streaming right is it the streamers that
- 20:50Speaker 2: did this um No, I don't think the streamers have
- 20:56Speaker 2: done it. I think it's the movies that are made now.
- 21:01Speaker 2: There's more event-type movies like The Odyssey, like Spider-Man. When
- 21:05Speaker 2: you make that movie that most people will see and
- 21:08Speaker 2: many will go see in the theater, it's as if
- 21:10Speaker 2: the studio and the filmmakers are like, well, we've got
- 21:12Speaker 2: to give them as much time as possible. And it's almost,
- 21:16Speaker 2: like I said, it's a point of pride or it's
- 21:18Speaker 2: a mark for you if you made a really long movie.
- 21:21Speaker 2: I remember, JT, look up when Braveheart The year it
- 21:25Speaker 2: came out, I want to say 94, 95, 93 around there. 95,
- 21:29Speaker 2: I'm guessing. But the length of that movie was a
- 21:33Speaker 2: big deal. I feel like when I watched it on VHS,
- 21:37Speaker 2: I didn't see it in theaters. I love Braveheart and
- 21:39Speaker 2: love the movie, but it was like a big deal, Hutton,
- 21:42Speaker 2: when our preteen selves would watch that movie and make
- 21:46Speaker 2: it through it because it was so long. I don't
- 21:48Speaker 2: know how long it was exactly, but there you go.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Being three hours long was like, oh my gosh, you're
- 21:56Speaker 2: going to watch a three-hour movie? And I loved it,
- 21:59Speaker 2: but that was a big deal. Now it's the norm.
- 22:02Speaker 3: And that gave way to Titanic. Yeah.
- 22:07Speaker 1: The three-hour film, or whatever it was. And then what
- 22:11Speaker 1: was the next three-hour film after that? I can't even remember.
- 22:16Speaker 2: I mean, there's been plenty of them. I can't remember
- 22:18Speaker 2: the one that everybody talked about that was a big
- 22:20Speaker 2: event movie thing. That was that long. But again, now
- 22:23Speaker 2: all of them are that way. Look, it's not a
- 22:27Speaker 2: short movie. Apollo 13 is two hours and 28 minutes
- 22:30Speaker 2: or something like that.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Two hours and 25 minutes.
- 22:32Speaker 2: But it was well worth the two hours and 28
- 22:34Speaker 2: minutes I spent with it then. Well worth it now
- 22:37Speaker 2: to see that level of ingenuity in our space program.
- 22:40Speaker 2: But I also, I just wanted to give credit where
- 22:43Speaker 2: credit is due. They shut that thing off at the
- 22:45Speaker 2: right time. And I feel like it would have gone
- 22:47Speaker 2: to three hours today had they done it again.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Chad, I'm looking up the best 90s movies that were
- 22:53Speaker 3: three hours long.
- 22:55Speaker 2: And I bet I've seen all of them, whatever they are.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Gettysburg.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Braveheart's the one that immediately comes to mind. It was like, oh,
- 23:01Speaker 2: my gosh.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Gettysburg. We just watched a movie for three hours. What
- 23:04Speaker 3: was that? Gettysburg.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Gettysburg was over four hours, I think.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Yeah, Gettysburg was four hours and 15 minutes. Hamlet. Didn't
- 23:15Speaker 3: see it.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Didn't catch that one. I didn't watch Hamlet, and I
- 23:18Speaker 2: also will not watch Hamnet. Which was recently nominated for
- 23:21Speaker 2: an Oscar. Not going to see either one of those.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Malcolm X in 92. Didn't see it. Three hours and
- 23:26Speaker 1: 20 minutes.
- 23:27Speaker 2: I have seen that way too long, I will say.
- 23:30Speaker 2: That's one that felt long. We mentioned Titanic. There's also
- 23:33Speaker 2: Dances with Wolves. Three hours and one minute. I'll give
- 23:37Speaker 2: you one, Hutton, that I watched multiple times. JFK also
- 23:40Speaker 2: three hours. What was the three hours you said?
- 23:43Speaker 3: JFK.
- 23:44Speaker 2: JFK is one I like that was very long and
- 23:46Speaker 2: known for being long. I'll give you one of the
- 23:49Speaker 2: 90s that I watched multiple times that I loved, and
- 23:52Speaker 2: I almost loved in part because of its length, is
- 23:54Speaker 2: Hoop Dreams, which is the first documentary I remember watching,
- 23:57Speaker 2: which I believe is over four hours. And it follows
- 24:00Speaker 2: the two kids in Chicago from age 14 to 21
- 24:04Speaker 2: throughout their basketball lives and their home lives, trying to
- 24:07Speaker 2: make it as basketball players. Arthur Agee and William Gates,
- 24:11Speaker 2: still remember the two players' names. One ends up going
- 24:14Speaker 2: to a private school. One ends up at public school.
- 24:16Speaker 2: In Chicago, it's really, really well done, but that's one
- 24:19Speaker 2: that was, I think, well over four hours.
- 24:22Speaker 3: The other two, The Green Mile and Schindler's List.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Guys, I've got one for you, too, that's going to
- 24:29Speaker 4: blow your mind just doing some research. Chad, did you
- 24:32Speaker 4: ever watch Logistics, the film from 2012?
- 24:36Speaker 2: I did not.
- 24:37Speaker 3: There's a reason.
- 24:37Speaker 2: 51 hours, 420 minutes. I'm sorry. Let me redo this.
- 24:40Speaker 3: It's a miniseries.
- 24:42Speaker 4: 800 and 40, 857 hours, 35 days and 17 hours.
- 24:47Speaker 4: If you'd like to watch that the longest ever logistics, 2012.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Do you have a log line for logistics? Do you
- 24:54Speaker 2: have like the plot summary of this, or is it
- 24:56Speaker 2: just like a, is it like an art installation? A
- 24:58Speaker 2: bunch of images flashing over and over. Is there sex
- 25:01Speaker 2: in that movie?
- 25:03Speaker 4: Don't see a rating, uh, concepts that tracks and reverse
- 25:07Speaker 4: chronicological journey of a person from a store in Stockholm, uh,
- 25:12Speaker 4: Back to.
- 25:13Speaker 2: A manufacturing plant in China.
- 25:15Speaker 4: So it sounds intriguing.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Chad, JT, I googled three-hour movies of the last three years. Oppenheimer,
- 25:28Speaker 1: Killers of the Flower Moon, way too long.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Both good. Killers of the Flower Moon felt long. Oppenheimer,
- 25:34Speaker 2: to me, was about right. But again, I'm in the
- 25:38Speaker 2: back for Christopher Nolan, what he does.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Having read the book, Killers of the Flower Moon, that
- 25:44Speaker 1: was a huge disappointment.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Huge disappointment. The Brutalist of 2024.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Seen it. Very depressing film. Way too long.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Horizon, an American saga chapter one with Kevin Costner.
- 25:59Speaker 2: I liked it. I don't think anyone else did. There's
- 26:02Speaker 2: a part two that won't see the light of day
- 26:04Speaker 2: because no one saw part one. And Kevin Costner got
- 26:07Speaker 2: bashed for it. I thought it was a good Western.
- 26:10Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. It is long, but I enjoyed Horizon
- 26:13Speaker 2: part one.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Now, if you keep going back, there's Cloud Atlas, Boyhood,
- 26:20Speaker 1: Straight Outta Compton. Straight Outta Compton was not three hours long,
- 26:24Speaker 1: was it?
- 26:26Speaker 3: There's no way. They didn't fill three hours.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Do you know the premise to Boyhood?
- 26:31Speaker 3: Hateful Eight. Hateful Eight.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:33Speaker 3: That's one. What'd you say, Chad?
- 26:34Speaker 2: Do you know the premise to Boyhood, the movie?
- 26:37Speaker 3: Do you ever watch it? I know that it follows
- 26:40Speaker 3: the kids. Yeah, yeah.
- 26:41Speaker 2: It's a little like Hoop Dreams, but it's the dramatic
- 26:43Speaker 2: written version of it. It follows a kid and his
- 26:46Speaker 2: parents who eventually get divorced, and Ethan Hawke is in it,
- 26:51Speaker 2: but they shot for like two weeks every summer for
- 26:55Speaker 2: like 10 or 11 years to make the movie. So
- 26:58Speaker 2: they would get back together two weeks in the summer,
- 27:01Speaker 2: kids older, and it took the kid from age seven
- 27:03Speaker 2: to age 18.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Wow.
- 27:05Speaker 2: I think it is over the course of the movie.
- 27:06Speaker 2: So Ethan Hawke's a year older each time. Patricia Arquette,
- 27:10Speaker 2: I believe, was the mom in it. It's actually, when
- 27:13Speaker 2: you know, it's Richard Linklater who did School of Rock,
- 27:16Speaker 2: has done a bunch of movies like that. He's collaborated
- 27:19Speaker 2: with Ethan Hawke on a lot. A Texas filmmaker. It's
- 27:23Speaker 2: pretty well done. When you know the story behind the movie,
- 27:28Speaker 2: it's impressive to see them age throughout the years and
- 27:32Speaker 2: what happens to the kid.
- 27:33Speaker 1: A great example of what we're talking about is the
- 27:35Speaker 1: fact that IT Chapter 2 is three hours long.
- 27:40Speaker 3: IT Chapter 2. Not Chapter 1, Chad. Chapter 2.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Do you think Stephen King demanded that it be three
- 27:45Speaker 2: hours long? Stephen King, who famously hates the movie The Shining,
- 27:49Speaker 2: which I love.
- 27:50Speaker 1: 27 years after their first encounter with the terrifying Pennywise,
- 27:54Speaker 1: the Losers Club have grown up and moved away until
- 27:57Speaker 1: a devastating phone call brings them back.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Three hours long for IT Chapter 2.
- 28:03Speaker 2: Do you think fans of Stephen King even want it
- 28:04Speaker 2: to be three hours? The biggest diehard horror IT fans
- 28:08Speaker 2: in the world would rather see that movie be an
- 28:10Speaker 2: hour and 55 minutes. This is my note for Hollywood,
- 28:14Speaker 2: if they're listening right now. If Paramount moves to Nashville...
- 28:17Speaker 2: We can get David Ellison on this program. And I
- 28:19Speaker 2: would explain to him that what the people want are
- 28:22Speaker 2: more hour and a half to hour and 50 minute
- 28:25Speaker 2: movies that are really good. And they want less three
- 28:28Speaker 2: hour versions of It Chapter Two. That's it. That's my
- 28:32Speaker 2: note for the studios. Let's get to work.
- 28:34Speaker 1: That's why they have a score of 58 on IMDb.
- 28:38Speaker 3: That's right there.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Didn't see It Chapter One, Hutton won't see It Chapter Two.
- 28:42Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and guarantee you that. Not
- 28:44Speaker 2: a big Pennywise guy.
- 28:45Speaker 1: There are, but see, there are movies where I look
- 28:47Speaker 1: at them like, oh, deserving. Dark Knight Rises, yes. Dark
- 28:51Speaker 1: Knight Rises, absolutely, yes.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Even The Hobbit.
- 28:54Speaker 1: The Hobbit, when you have a book as thick as
- 28:56Speaker 1: that dad-blamed book was, it better be three hours long.
- 29:02Speaker 2: It's a thick text that they're pulling from J.R. Tolkien,
- 29:06Speaker 2: so it makes a lot of sense. To do that,
- 29:09Speaker 2: for sure. And like the Game of Thrones stuff. The
- 29:11Speaker 2: Game of Thrones book fans are always disappointed because they
- 29:16Speaker 2: change something here and leave something out. And I'm thinking,
- 29:18Speaker 2: have you seen those books and.
- 29:20Speaker 3: How thick they are? Dude wrote it in his own language.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Right. I am sympathetic to the showrunners or the filmmakers
- 29:26Speaker 2: in that. You've got to cut some stuff out. That's
- 29:30Speaker 2: not how a show works or how a movie works.
- 29:33Speaker 2: You've got to take the highlights of it, and you
- 29:35Speaker 2: can't show everything that's in a book.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I'm just not sympathetic to those who are like, oh,
- 29:40Speaker 1: let the writer finish the story himself.
- 29:42Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 29:44Speaker 1: You can come up with that whenever he turned things
- 29:47Speaker 1: over to the producers of that show.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:49Speaker 1: And you're thinking, okay, it's not done yet, but we're
- 29:54Speaker 1: going to let TV determine it. You had all these
- 29:57Speaker 1: years to do it. It's your work. You wrote it
- 30:01Speaker 1: your own language in Dothraki for this fantasy. But yet
- 30:08Speaker 1: you can't come up with your own ending. You don't
- 30:10Speaker 1: get to come up with it now. The ending's over.
- 30:12Speaker 1: The story is complete.
- 30:14Speaker 2: George R.R. Martin, when he turned his story over, when
- 30:20Speaker 2: he turned his entire world, his Westeros world over to
- 30:24Speaker 2: the people at HBO, he took a check to do that.
- 30:27Speaker 2: He continued to get checks. for him to turn his
- 30:30Speaker 2: literary world over to televised entertainment at that point, then
- 30:35Speaker 2: you lose the right to make decisions about your timeline.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Yes, you do.
- 30:38Speaker 2: When you finish. I'm sorry. There is a price when
- 30:41Speaker 2: you sell something to someone that's going to happen. I
- 30:45Speaker 2: talked about the show I'm watching right now is The Shards,
- 30:48Speaker 2: which is on Hulu, which sounds funny, but it's a
- 30:54Speaker 2: good Brett Easton Ellis book about early 80s, rich high
- 30:57Speaker 2: school life in LA. Okay. And it's got a serial killer.
- 31:00Speaker 3: I've got the shards.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Yeah. It's, it's not the shards, which is different shards
- 31:05Speaker 2: with a D shards would be more of a comedy.
- 31:08Speaker 2: This is not a comedy, but Brett Easton Ellis sold
- 31:11Speaker 2: the rights of his book to Disney and Hulu.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Right.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Like they're the ones making it. Yeah. They're trying to
- 31:32Speaker 2: create a TV show that can go five, six seasons.
- 31:34Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 31:35Speaker 2: So they're changing it, making it different. But Brett A. Sellis,
- 31:37Speaker 2: he probably doesn't like it, but he's not saying a
- 31:39Speaker 2: lot about it. Why? Because he sold the rights to it.
- 31:41Speaker 3: He sold it.
- 31:42Speaker 2: So at some point, TV people have to make decisions.
- 31:44Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm with you on that. I'm anti-George R.R.
- 31:48Speaker 3: Martin.
- 31:49Speaker 1: There's a quarterback named Nico out on the West Coast.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Is his story going to be longer than three hours?
- 31:58Speaker 3: We'll discuss that.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Year two of Nico next. Sutton and Withrow, we are
- 32:04Speaker 1: presented by Hard Rock Bet at Sport and State, founded
- 32:08Speaker 1: by Clay Travis. XXXY Athletics, founded by Jennifer Say, former
- 32:13Speaker 1: national champion gymnast, former Levi's brand president. She walked away
- 32:17Speaker 1: from a corporate job rather than say something she didn't
- 32:19Speaker 1: believe and started XXXY Athletics instead. The mission, in their words,
- 32:24Speaker 1: empower female athletes, take a stand for fair competition. They

- 33:03Speaker 1: The forgotten quarterback out west, Chad, is Nico. I haven't
- 33:07Speaker 1: thought about Nico in quite some time. In a long time, actually.
- 33:11Speaker 2: The forgotten child of college football, Nico Yamaliova, not forgotten
- 33:15Speaker 2: by his father, who probably still controls every decision and
- 33:18Speaker 2: everything that he does in life. I saw Nico interview
- 33:21Speaker 2: recently about, you know, that he thinks kind of unfair
- 33:25Speaker 2: how he was– judge on the exit of Knoxville and
- 33:29Speaker 2: this and that. And I've got to be honest with you, Hutton.
- 33:31Speaker 2: I saw the headline. I'm like, not even going to
- 33:33Speaker 2: read it.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Don't care.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Don't want to hear about it. It's over. You left.
- 33:39Speaker 2: You played your hand. It didn't really work out for anyone.
- 33:42Speaker 2: It didn't work out for you. I don't think it
- 33:44Speaker 2: worked out for Tennessee. I don't think it worked out
- 33:46Speaker 2: for Josh Heupel. I don't think it worked out for
- 33:48Speaker 2: UCLA so far and what they paid for what they got.
- 33:52Speaker 3: A year ago.
- 33:52Speaker 2: I don't think anything's worked out at this point. Now,
- 33:55Speaker 2: here's the good news for Nico Yamileava is that he
- 33:58Speaker 2: gets another year. This is year two at UCLA, and
- 34:02Speaker 2: they hired a ball coach. I believe Bob Chesney is
- 34:06Speaker 2: going to be good at UCLA.
- 34:08Speaker 3: He's a good coach.
- 34:09Speaker 2: They also just fired their AD that was behind a
- 34:13Speaker 2: lot of this because they've been operating in the red
- 34:16Speaker 2: for way too long at UCLA. Finances aren't an issue.
- 34:18Speaker 2: It's why Chip Kelly left to go be a coordinator.
- 34:21Speaker 2: because they're not up to speed with the rest of
- 34:24Speaker 2: the Big Ten, especially when it comes to football. Not
- 34:28Speaker 2: with NIL, not with facilities, not with anything. Keep in mind,
- 34:31Speaker 2: UCLA is a place where the Rose Bowl is nowhere
- 34:34Speaker 2: near their campus, and you're traveling 45 minutes with a
- 34:37Speaker 2: little bit of traffic probably to get to the football
- 34:40Speaker 2: stadium on Saturdays for games. So it's a weird setup,
- 34:44Speaker 2: but it's also, I would argue, a bit of a
- 34:46Speaker 2: hidden gem in college football. They've had success in the past.
- 34:50Speaker 2: It is Los Angeles. It is UCLA. It's a beautiful
- 34:52Speaker 2: old-school uniform, I will say, for the UCLA Bruins also.
- 34:56Speaker 2: I think that Nico's going to have a good year.
- 34:59Speaker 2: I don't know what good. I can't define what.
- 35:01Speaker 3: That looks like. What do you mean by that?
- 35:03Speaker 2: Well, I think a year ago everyone would say that
- 35:06Speaker 2: was a failure, right? And we can point to it.
- 35:09Speaker 2: It's kind of like Cam Ward in year one. You
- 35:10Speaker 2: can point to a lot of things. His offensive line
- 35:12Speaker 2: wasn't good. His supporting cast wasn't good. The schedule's never
- 35:15Speaker 2: going to be easy. For UCLA, I don't think the
- 35:18Speaker 2: coaching was any good a year ago.
- 35:20Speaker 3: No, it was awful.
- 35:22Speaker 2: They've got a good football coach now.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Foster was awful.
- 35:25Speaker 4: Right.
- 35:25Speaker 2: They had Jerry Neuheisel, Rick's son, that kind of took
- 35:29Speaker 2: over midway through the season and became offensive coordinator also.
- 35:33Speaker 2: I think Chesney is going to be good for Nico.
- 35:37Speaker 2: I think this UCLA team will be better. Is better 6-6?
- 35:42Speaker 2: you know, seven and five. Yeah, it's better. And I
- 35:44Speaker 2: think that's probably what type of team they are. They're
- 35:46Speaker 2: going to surprise someone in the Big Ten. I think
- 35:49Speaker 2: they're going to compete a lot better. I think Nico
- 35:51Speaker 2: is a talented, talented quarterback. I think he can do
- 35:54Speaker 2: everything you ask him to do. Does he throw a
- 35:58Speaker 2: great deep ball? No, not all the time. But can
- 36:01Speaker 2: he make the intermediate throw? Is he a great athlete
- 36:04Speaker 2: and a good runner? Yes, he can do all these things.
- 36:07Speaker 2: So I'm pretty excited to watch him, Hunt, and I'm
- 36:10Speaker 2: going to have my top 10 college football games of
- 36:12Speaker 2: the week tomorrow on the show as we get ready
- 36:14Speaker 2: for the weekend. One of those games that would have
- 36:16Speaker 2: been in the top 10 being played tonight, by the way,
- 36:18Speaker 2: with Colorado and Georgia Tech. We may get to that
- 36:20Speaker 2: here a segment from now also. But I will say
- 36:24Speaker 2: one of the games, I'll spoil this part of it,
- 36:26Speaker 2: that's going to be on my list. UCLA is at Cal.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Cal's got a great young quarterback. as well. Nico's going
- 36:33Speaker 2: to be going head-to-head in a game that matters on
- 36:36Speaker 2: the road. I think Cal is like a three-point favorite.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Either Cal or UCLA's favorite by two or three points.
- 36:42Speaker 2: I'll have to go back and look, but that's one
- 36:44Speaker 2: that I'm keeping an eye on this weekend to see
- 36:46Speaker 2: how Nico performs and see how he does in week one.
- 36:50Speaker 2: I'm excited about that. Also, it took me a while
- 36:52Speaker 2: to realize when I saw that. My first thought, Hutton,
- 36:55Speaker 2: was why is a Pac-12 game being played in week
- 36:58Speaker 2: one between UCLA and Cal? Ten minutes later, I'm like, oh,
- 37:02Speaker 2: the Pac-12 doesn't exist anymore.
- 37:05Speaker 3: Duh.
- 37:05Speaker 2: UCLA is in the Big Ten now. Cal is in
- 37:07Speaker 2: the ACC. That is a Big Ten versus ACC matchup
- 37:12Speaker 2: when UCLA travels to Berkeley to take on Cal. That's
- 37:16Speaker 2: just the weird conference spot we're in right now.
- 37:20Speaker 1: My thing would be, like, where is Nico a year
- 37:24Speaker 1: from now in the NFL talk?
- 37:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:27Speaker 3: You know? Because.
- 37:29Speaker 1: We were discussing him right before he took a snap
- 37:33Speaker 1: for Tennessee. The thought was, okay, three years, and then
- 37:37Speaker 1: he's gone, right? Because of the five-star deal, the whole thing.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Where is he going to be in the hierarchy of
- 37:44Speaker 1: these quarterbacks right now? Because there's plenty of them. There's
- 37:46Speaker 1: a stack of them that all believe they're going to
- 37:51Speaker 1: be first, second-round picks next year. That won't be the case.
- 37:54Speaker 1: We'll see four or five of them probably. Not this
- 37:57Speaker 1: handful of 25 that currently stacks up on any website.
- 38:02Speaker 3: But where's Deco in all this?
- 38:05Speaker 2: Is he gaining buzz as the year goes on with
- 38:08Speaker 2: his play? It was an afterthought when he signed that
- 38:13Speaker 2: lucrative deal with Tennessee. He'll be there three years. He'll
- 38:17Speaker 2: start for two because they had Hindenhoeker coming back. Or
- 38:21Speaker 2: it'll go, no, Joe Milton. Sorry, it'll go Joe Milton
- 38:24Speaker 2: for one year, Nico for two after a year. And
- 38:27Speaker 2: then he's gone. He's a top 10, top 20 pick
- 38:29Speaker 2: in the NFL draft. No one's talking top 10, top
- 38:32Speaker 2: 20 pick right now. So does he change that narrative
- 38:34Speaker 2: this year? We're going to find out starting Saturday with
- 38:37Speaker 2: some legitimate competition.
- 38:38Speaker 3: We're hunting with Roe. We are presented by Hard Rock Betting.
- 38:41Speaker 1: Coming up, we have the Hard Rock locks for you,
- 38:44Speaker 1: including we as a duo will be chanting ACC.

- 39:18Speaker 1: And I feel great about this as we kick off
- 39:20Speaker 1: the college football season together.
- 39:22Speaker 3: Give me Georgia Tech, man.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Georgia Tech minus six and a half taking on Colorado.
- 39:31Speaker 1: yeah I mean to me I'm surprised it's less than
- 39:35Speaker 1: seven less than a touchdown period I'll take Georgia Tech
- 39:40Speaker 1: by a possession absolutely give me six and a half
- 39:44Speaker 1: and yeah I I've got a better coach team. I've
- 39:47Speaker 1: got a team that executes. I've got a team that
- 39:49Speaker 1: runs the football very well. Yeah, Yellow Jackets all the
- 39:53Speaker 1: way here.
- 39:54Speaker 2: I just don't– looking at the two programs, Hutton, and
- 39:58Speaker 2: you look at the offseason that was very weird for
- 40:01Speaker 2: Deion Sanders and Colorado, we joked about the practice footage
- 40:05Speaker 2: that was out where Colorado just looks tiny on the
- 40:08Speaker 2: football field. And I think about what do we know
- 40:11Speaker 2: about Brent Key and Georgia Tech? Run the dang ball, right?
- 40:16Speaker 2: Let's run the dang football. He is a no-nonsense former
- 40:19Speaker 2: offensive lineman at his alma mater that is all about physicality,
- 40:24Speaker 2: that's all about accountability, toughness, all those things. I just
- 40:27Speaker 2: do not see Colorado going on the road to Atlanta
- 40:31Speaker 2: tonight in week one in front of a hostile crowd
- 40:35Speaker 2: and playing within a touchdown. Of Georgia Tech. I think
- 40:38Speaker 2: Georgia Tech takes the air out of the football in
- 40:40Speaker 2: the second half.
- 40:40Speaker 3: Suffocates them.
- 40:41Speaker 2: They take the life out of it. It is going
- 40:43Speaker 2: to be the anaconda effect, the python effect, of just
- 40:47Speaker 2: choking the life out of Colorado in the second half.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Give me the physicality of Georgia Tech to win this
- 40:54Speaker 2: game easily. I'm 100% with you. That is our show
- 40:56Speaker 2: lock of the night for college football.
- 40:59Speaker 1: The anaconda don't want none, Chad.
- 41:01Speaker 3: None in this game.
- 41:02Speaker 2: That's right. What a great song, by the way. Sir Mix-a-Lot. RIP.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Or is he still alive?
- 41:07Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Did I just kill Sir Mix-a-Lot? Could have. Running bill
- 41:11Speaker 2: on this show is where I unintentionally murder people who
- 41:14Speaker 2: are actually still alive. JT can look up and see
- 41:16Speaker 2: if Sir Mix-a-Lot's alive. I'm guessing he's dead, but I
- 41:20Speaker 2: don't know that for a fact. But I love Georgia
- 41:23Speaker 2: Tech in this game, and I'll say this too.
- 41:24Speaker 3: He's 63.
- 41:25Speaker 2: And he's alive. Okay, good. Good job. Good for him.
- 41:28Speaker 2: A young man still. A very young man. If they
- 41:32Speaker 2: don't cover this spread, I'm talking about Georgia Tech, That
- 41:35Speaker 2: is a good sign for Tennessee a week from now
- 41:37Speaker 2: when they go to Georgia Tech. Let me say that, too.
- 41:39Speaker 2: I fully expect Georgia Tech to handle business tonight, though.
- 41:43Speaker 3: Same.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Give me Miami. Miami against Stanford, 24 and a half.
- 41:50Speaker 1: And I've got Heisman hopeful. I've got top quarterback. Most
- 41:57Speaker 1: money going to my quarterback in NIL. Over under here
- 42:00Speaker 1: is 47.5, and Miami's favored by 20. Yeah, give me
- 42:05Speaker 1: Miami over Stanford.
- 42:09Speaker 2: I'm only concerned about that trip. That game's at Stanford
- 42:15Speaker 2: on Friday night.
- 42:16Speaker 3: In front of no one.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Notice I didn't say I'm worried about the atmosphere. I'm
- 42:22Speaker 2: worried about the actual air miles and travel situation for
- 42:25Speaker 2: Miami in that game.
- 42:26Speaker 3: These guys.
- 42:27Speaker 1: These guys can handle a flight. These guys can handle
- 42:30Speaker 1: a flight. Half of them are going to be pros anyway, Chad.
- 42:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to regret it. I'm not going to
- 42:36Speaker 2: take that one. But Miami's way better than Stanford. I mean,
- 42:39Speaker 2: I watched some of the Hawaii game the other night.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Hawaii was in a dogfight with Stanford that game. They're
- 42:45Speaker 2: not very good right now.
- 42:46Speaker 3: No.
- 42:47Speaker 2: The crowd was even worse. Let me also say that
- 42:50Speaker 2: the Lincoln-Riley— We've got to find a way to use
- 42:54Speaker 2: our words better when describing something. Lincoln Riley yesterday is
- 42:59Speaker 2: talking about the discussion around the crowd, and he says,
- 43:03Speaker 2: I'm tired of this false narrative about the crowd. It's
- 43:06Speaker 2: not a false narrative.
- 43:07Speaker 3: It's not false.
- 43:08Speaker 2: There's video evidence of no one at your game.
- 43:11Speaker 3: What's his excuse?
- 43:14Speaker 2: Well, the heat. You know, it was close to 100 degrees. Oh,
- 43:17Speaker 2: get out of here.
- 43:18Speaker 1: It was hot when Matt Lyon and Reggie Bush and
- 43:21Speaker 1: Lindell were playing, too.
- 43:23Speaker 2: It's not even that he had an excuse. It's just
- 43:25Speaker 2: I'm mad about the coverage. So our attendance has been
- 43:29Speaker 2: up every year I've been here, and I'm tired of
- 43:31Speaker 2: this false narrative about our crowd. People are talking, they're
- 43:34Speaker 2: not talking about attendance as a whole during your entire time.
- 43:38Speaker 2: They're talking about a season opener to kick off a season.
- 43:43Speaker 3: 657 people were there.
- 43:43Speaker 2: It looked like a high school game was being played there.
- 43:46Speaker 2: It looked like a Friday night, two big high schools
- 43:49Speaker 2: from the area show up and play a game. That's
- 43:52Speaker 2: what the crowd looked like. That's what people are talking about.
- 43:54Speaker 2: It's not a false narrative. If you want to say, hey,
- 43:58Speaker 2: I was disappointed with the crowd too. We need them
- 44:00Speaker 2: to get better, you know, starting this week against Fresno
- 44:02Speaker 2: State or whatever. And I know that as we get
- 44:05Speaker 2: into Big Ten play, those crowds are going to be better.
- 44:08Speaker 2: It was an early start to our season. You know,
- 44:10Speaker 2: you don't bash the fans, but you say, yeah, it
- 44:12Speaker 2: wasn't a very good crowd. We expect better as the
- 44:15Speaker 2: season goes along and we start to earn it and
- 44:17Speaker 2: we start to prove that this is a good football team.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Don't tell me false narratives. That's not the proper way
- 44:22Speaker 2: to describe it. I don't want to hear about the heat.
- 44:25Speaker 2: It is hot everywhere.
- 44:27Speaker 1: If it's so hot, then cancel the damn game. And
- 44:31Speaker 1: while we're on... I'm not saying that to be true.
- 44:35Speaker 3: I want that.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what you're saying.
- 44:36Speaker 3: Coaches can't use that as an excuse. They're practicing in
- 44:39Speaker 3: this heat.
- 44:41Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I've got ESPN on one TV over here,
- 44:45Speaker 2: and it's throwing me off because what they do now
- 44:47Speaker 2: is when an analyst comes on, They do this during
- 44:50Speaker 2: their games. You notice they got rid of the ticker,
- 44:52Speaker 2: but they'll show who's talking. So the screen will pop up,
- 44:55Speaker 2: and it's like the analyst name and picture will pop
- 44:58Speaker 2: up when they're talking about the game at times. Now
- 45:00Speaker 2: with Jordan Rodgers, they've got Jordan Rodgers, Will Compton, Taylor
- 45:03Speaker 2: LeJuan on, on whatever one of their shows are.
- 45:05Speaker 3: Breaking the news on the SEC.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but Jordan Rodgers, they bring up his player picture.
- 45:11Speaker 2: So it's Jordan Rodgers with his player credentials as a
- 45:13Speaker 2: quarterback at Vanderbilt, and it's a picture of him playing
- 45:15Speaker 2: quarterback at Vanderbilt. Sorry, it threw me off for a second.
- 45:19Speaker 1: They've got Will Compton and Taylor LeJuan breaking down the
- 45:22Speaker 1: SEC trial.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got right now. Outside the courtroom, here's Taylor LeJuan.
- 45:28Speaker 2: They've got Josh Pate, LeJuan, Compton, and then Rodgers talking
- 45:33Speaker 2: about a hearing today in Baton Rouge on SEC rules
- 45:36Speaker 2: is what I'm seeing, so whatever. The fake narrative thing.
- 45:40Speaker 2: The other thing that I want to say about the
- 45:42Speaker 2: Jared Stillman situation as we close on this, and I
- 45:45Speaker 2: think this story will go away pretty quickly. Also, it
- 45:48Speaker 2: was a big story yesterday. It's going to be less
- 45:50Speaker 2: of a story today. By the time we get to
- 45:51Speaker 2: college football, it won't be a story again. Let me
- 45:54Speaker 2: say this, though, to Titans fans that are all in
- 45:56Speaker 2: my mentions, that we don't care about this. We don't
- 45:59Speaker 2: care about Jerry Simmons. You are proving you care about
- 46:01Speaker 2: it when you watched our interview with him, when you
- 46:04Speaker 2: post to us about it, when you continue to comment
- 46:08Speaker 2: about how much you hate him, right? You cared. Like
- 46:12Speaker 2: stop saying I don't care about something over and over
- 46:16Speaker 2: when by acting in that way and responding to it,
- 46:20Speaker 2: you're proving that guess what?
- 46:21Speaker 3: You care.
- 46:22Speaker 2: That's another thing that kills me. If you didn't care,
- 46:25Speaker 2: you wouldn't comment on it. And no one would have
- 46:27Speaker 2: a reaction or no one would watch it.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Also, why would you be a fan of a team
- 46:31Speaker 1: and won't you be a mindless robot in favor of
- 46:33Speaker 1: them and everything they do when they've won three games
- 46:35Speaker 1: in back-to-back years and haven't won back-to-back games since John
- 46:39Speaker 1: Robinson was the general manager?
- 46:40Speaker 3: Make them earn it. Make them earn it.
- 46:44Speaker 2: The level of glazing that goes on with Titans fans
- 46:47Speaker 2: that I see with that organization is insane to me.
- 46:50Speaker 2: I'm not saying just outwardly hate your team at all times. No,
- 46:53Speaker 2: I'm not saying hate the team either, but they need
- 46:55Speaker 2: to prove that they're going to win. Yeah, you can't
- 46:57Speaker 2: also defend that type of stuff. Look, it's a story.
- 47:05Speaker 2: You care about it. Titans fans care about it more
- 47:07Speaker 2: than anybody else. stop saying you don't care when clearly
- 47:11Speaker 2: you do care by typing up that you don't care.
- 47:14Speaker 1: Well, and I believe it was Easton Freeze who said
- 47:17Speaker 1: this from A to Z, and he's exactly right. Had
- 47:20Speaker 1: Jared Stillman been the opposite way for the quote-unquote journalistic
- 47:23Speaker 1: integrity instead of my team effing sucks, if he was like,
- 47:27Speaker 1: I love my effing team, are they taking away his
- 47:31Speaker 1: credential for that?
- 47:32Speaker 3: No. No, they're not.
- 47:34Speaker 1: And it goes both ways there with journalistic integrity. He
- 47:39Speaker 1: would have lost it then, too, according to the Titans'
- 47:41Speaker 1: definition of that. Over-the-top fanboy.
- 47:46Speaker 2: They have plenty.
- 47:48Speaker 3: Of those guys. They've lost their journalistic integrity.
- 47:50Speaker 2: If you cared all about fair, honest coverage of a
- 47:54Speaker 2: team or analysis of a team, then you should care
- 47:58Speaker 2: about that story. That's what I'll say on all this.
- 48:01Speaker 2: If you don't, if you simply want someone who's going
- 48:03Speaker 2: to tell you lies and tell you, things are great
- 48:07Speaker 2: when they're not or not be real with you, then,
