19
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.360
Kyla Ellsworth hit on that it was
it was hitting. It wasn't like you

20
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.199
know, Taylor Swift as you would
like to talk about earlier, but it

21
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.639
is Nonetheless, I thought it was
very uh fitting. So you're saying you're

22
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.120
not a swifty, not a swifty, not a swift. I don't know

23
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:39.919
what that is. What is that? Yeah it's swifty? Okay, yeah,

24
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.120
well you know an end of that
music right now? Is she getting

25
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.960
there? She she's getting into that
stuff. She just whatever it is,

26
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.680
she just loves every time, like
we play music in a kitchen, she's

27
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:57.599
like dance with that day, I
just melt, I absolutely melt, absolutely

28
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.759
get ready for that daddy daughter dance
coming up. That's the thing that was

29
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.319
soft. But I gotta yelled at
the other day because I'm trying to announce

30
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.159
now she's too so we gotta get
start training her and everything. So like

31
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.159
to the living room. We'll have
like a little step there and the rubbish

32
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.319
spins are right on the side there. But she like all along, she

33
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.599
would like try to like grab the
rubbish spin, you know, to you

34
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.960
know, help herself come up,
and that's what we call trash can here

35
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.479
in the States. We'll go ahead. Yeah, But so like she's two

36
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.800
now, so I'm like, no, no, you don't need to use

37
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.199
that anymore. So you don't need
it because she's done it without using you

38
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.919
know, putting her hand on a
rubbish bin to push herself up. So

39
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.000
I'm like, no, no,
no, you ain't. You ain't using

40
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:44.319
that anymore. We got to build
those leg muscles. Yeah. Yeah,

41
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:50.960
she's gonna be Diesel Thoroughbred, absolutely
working on her balance or chorus string,

42
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.520
making sure those the hamstrings and everything
right. Get her. We're getting her.

43
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.639
Ready December she's gonna start tennis lessons
and two and a half. So

44
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:08.680
wow, wow, King choographic for
that, King cho Man. Hey,

45
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:14.560
let's talk about the new two hundred
million dollars center that was approved last week

46
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.959
by the Michigan State Board of Trustees. This is gonna be a remodel of

47
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.240
the I AM West. You know, the thing is, did you go,

48
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:30.079
um, did you go to the
I AM watched when you were in

49
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.480
school? Did I go? Yeah? I went? I went? Yeah?

50
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:41.279
Who play I didn't go to hoop
there. I didn't go there because

51
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.439
like every that's where every football player
went and thought that they could hoop and

52
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.000
everything that ended up happening. You
getting fights every time. I am wet

53
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:55.519
because you going too aggressive. And
then these other dudes that are playing there,

54
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.560
you know, they think they because
you play football, they can go

55
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.480
at you. So they come in
a and then you're you know, you're

56
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.839
used to being, you know,
playing aggressive, and your athleticism kicks in

57
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.040
and your pride kicks and you're like, there's no way this narc can beat

58
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.639
me. So then you're going you're
going against them, you know. So

59
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.720
I never went to i MS because
too much fights and stuff like that.

60
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.839
But you know, it is pretty
cool that you know that they're they're doing

61
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:24.040
this and uh, you know something
really good for the students and everybody to

62
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.360
enjoy. Yeah, I think it's
gonna be a lot of the Olympic sports.

63
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:31.120
You're gonna be housed there, and
it clears the way for a potential

64
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:36.879
return of MSU swimming and diving.
That's a big one thinking about that.

65
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.560
Everybody has been wanting that to come
back for a while since it was cut

66
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.480
a few years ago. But the
table now set, it's been approved.

67
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.360
I mean, you know, all
of a sudden, you know, we

68
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.920
signed that big deal with CBS and
then we're adding a two hundred million dollar

69
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:59.040
WREC facility. See how NBC Peacock. Everybody eats. Everybody eats because that's

70
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.480
the thing people think, you know, signing this TV deal, it just

71
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.680
benefits football. That's not the case. Everybody eats. You know, this

72
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.759
money is going into the university,
into all these other sports that everyone else

73
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.759
can have an opportunity, you know, to you know, perform at a

74
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.319
high level and you know, get
the best facilities and everything like that.

75
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:21.439
So that is the thing that's money
isn't just for football. Everybody eats off

76
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.360
of football and what happens at basketball
as well. But that's what this is

77
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.600
not. We're team players in Michigan
State, you know, most Big ten

78
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.000
universities. But we're doing better in
East Lansing. That's my opinion. I

79
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.839
know that's George as well. The
two. You know, there was a

80
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:42.639
visitor for the second time on campus. It was Henry Hasselbeck. He decided

81
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.040
to come back this time. I
wanted to bring mom, bring my dukes

82
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.439
to town to see so she could
see what her with him and his father

83
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:55.680
saw on their official visit. Yeah, you know, this is something like

84
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.879
really interesting and really are really cool. You know, he came back to

85
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.879
town because he loved his visit the
first time. And I'm sure you know

86
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:09.160
you know this, Jason, You've
gone to different universities and colleges with your

87
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.800
kids and you know they liked it, you know, talked about it,

88
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.399
you know, came back and you
know, just kept talking about all the

89
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.800
different the love that was shown,
the facilities and everything like that, and

90
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.199
you know, and it's really cool
that he's like, Mom, you gotta

91
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.160
come back with us to see you
know what we're talking about. And that's

92
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.839
really big because we were talking in
our production meeting earlier today about the importance

93
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:39.079
of recruiting the moms, you know
when it comes to you know, coaches

94
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.199
knowing that some people do it,
some people don't. But the schools that

95
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.519
do that recruit the moms and everything
like that, it really you know,

96
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.000
those are the schools that people go
to for the right reasons. And when

97
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.160
coach Tucker came in, you know, he changed things around. He wanted

98
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.560
flowers planted, you know, around
the facility. He wanted those things to

99
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.199
attract the mothers and everything like that
to make it feel a nice warm feeling

100
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.399
for that. And someone that you
know, really can really be talking on

101
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:11.519
this topic is um, Mama Hall. You know, she's the one that

102
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.160
that really you know, what's recruited
to and she felt the love and she's

103
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.040
going around and telling other families that
Michigan State is really a family and then

104
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.480
really recruit you. That's true.
I you know, you talk about you

105
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:30.319
know, Mama Hall and Jordan Hall. You know, as you know,

106
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.679
my son's down at IMG. There
are guys at IMG that get recruited by

107
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.600
a lot of schools. And it's
interesting when you talk to the parents about,

108
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.519
you know, the schools that really
focus on the parents versus some schools

109
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:50.080
who clearly will recruit the kid away
from the parents. They want to separate.

110
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.519
Um, it's not a good look
for those coaches out there that are

111
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.039
thinking about recruiting players. Want to
including the family. If there's a family,

112
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.279
include them. Um. That's just
my humble opinion. That's what I

113
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.919
hear from other parents around and typically
the kids will you know, comply with

114
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.159
that unless there's some kind of real, real issue in the house. But

115
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.360
look to, like you told me
yourself when Stalin was recruiting you, the

116
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.840
reason that you were done and dusted
is because he called your mother about hitting

117
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.840
your test all right, exactly,
yeah, And you know we got that

118
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.519
too, and you know, like
you got, you know, recruiting the

119
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:35.159
moms and they form a bond and
form relationship and it shows that sense of

120
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.919
you know, because if you don't
and you know, Alicia, you know,

121
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.159
set a great point to this,
uh to, you know earlier today

122
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.919
in the production meeting and you know, shout out to Elia. You know,

123
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.679
she does a lot behind the scene. She's part of the production meetings.

124
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.480
She's you know, everything that we
do. She's just not you know,

125
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.399
posting clips and everything like that.
Everything that we do to make us

126
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.279
look good and stuff like that.
She's one of the people behind that.

127
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.159
But she drew a good point today. You know, if you're my I'm

128
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.039
not there with you to check it, check out for university, fall in

129
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.759
love with it and you you go
there and you get homesick and you know,

130
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.320
and you call say, hey,
Mama, I need to come home,

131
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.200
you know, and they don't understand
what that's like. They don't understand,

132
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.120
you know, like where you are, what those coaches are doing for

133
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.519
you and everything like that. It's
gonna be easy for them to say,

134
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.879
yeah, you can come home,
but if they're there, like, no,

135
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.080
this person has your best interests at
art. You know. Those are

136
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.200
some of the things that I think
go unnoticed in the recruiting. Those are

137
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.399
some of like the little unsung heroes, you know, of recruiting, those

138
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:41.360
little pieces there that people don't really
realize. And you know, you got

139
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:48.200
people who still loves the university.
Mama Raven, she's still on here all

140
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.120
that because she loves the university and
you know, still wants to be part

141
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.720
of that and everything like that.
So it's it's really interesting, you know,

142
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.399
the whole recruiting cycle and everything like
that. And I think it's huge

143
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.679
Toru, the moms and the parents
because the parents as Spartan dogs too,

144
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.840
so as we're concerned, that's what
it is, right, the Spartan dogs

145
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.440
for life, and that that's not
just one player, that's the entire family.

146
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.960
Him, little brother's cousin, Mam
and m Grandmama and m m two

147
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.919
in ones. I know I didn't
forgot that's to the halls, they know.

148
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.320
But but you know, speaking of
recruiting, we got another five star

149
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.519
visit of David Stone, who's gonna
come into town this week on his official

150
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:35.519
visit given Michigan State the last look
pretty much in this cycle of official visits.

151
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.559
Yeah, you know, David Stone's
coming in. Um, everyone knows

152
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.639
how I feel about this topic.
But I said, I'm gonna be in

153
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.440
my best behavior today. You know, choo Choo's gonna be good. And

154
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:46.759
because you know, at the end
of the day, he's a very good

155
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.840
player. He's a good football player
that we would be, you know,

156
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.679
lucky to have, will be fortunate
to have him, you know, come

157
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.840
to your Michigan State university. He
has a lot of you know, ice

158
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.600
on him. I got some contacts
at University of Oklahoma. Some people out

159
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.120
there saying, oh you guys.
Yeah, they're saying you don't have a

160
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.720
chance, you don't have all that
stuff. But I say, yet,

161
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.600
he keeps coming back here, you
know, for you know, two visits.

162
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.759
So he's coming here this weekend.
I'm sure you know, the red

163
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.360
carpet is gonna rolled out for him. You know, he's gonna get a

164
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.279
ride in the sling shot with Coach
Tuck. He gets to listen to you,

165
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:24.159
you know, some music that he's
listening. I'm sure he's not gonna

166
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.360
choose Taylor Swift like I would choose. Maybe, you know, he might

167
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.840
pick a little little baby or you
know some you know whatever. These kids

168
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.799
listen to that little baby, that
baby, some baby and the NBA some

169
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:46.480
some you know, all of them
have the same names now. But right

170
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.879
so, you know he's he's gonna
be back on in town. You know

171
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.000
it's gonna be an official visit.
They're gonna be able to you don't wind

172
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.159
him, dying him, take care
of him, show him a little thing

173
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.279
or two. Um. But uh, you know, if we can get

174
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.720
them, great, you know,
if not, good luck. Well we

175
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.080
need to know is who is going
to be assigned as the host for David

176
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.960
Stone on the team. That's that
is the thing, because you gotta you

177
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:16.600
gotta like look at it now,
like those hosts are like very important and

178
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.840
uh you know everyone's gonna be like, oh here it goes, shoot you

179
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.679
again, you know, patting himself
on the back. But I was ninety

180
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.279
five percent when I was a host, ninety five percent because the only time

181
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.080
I messed up was we lost the
kid to uh to uh true story hands

182
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.440
it got true story. Um.
His name was Nadar and he came in

183
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.519
and uh it was us in Ohio
State and we go to Champs for dinner

184
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.000
and uh he looks at his family's
there. We're sitting there. He's like,

185
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.000
oh, what's good here? And
got chay. I was like,

186
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.200
dude, you gotta get the pork
chops. The pork chops so good man,

187
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.440
you got it. He's like,
oh, you know, maybe I

188
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.399
might get a burger. I was
like, no, man, you gotta

189
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.720
get the pork chop. He's smarting
get Port and I just I'm getting kicked

190
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.279
under the table. I was like, who's kicking. It was Jeff Scotland.

191
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.120
He's kicking, He's like and then
I realized like, oh no,

192
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:20.000
this dude's Muslim or yeah, and
Jeff port chops down his throat, come

193
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:28.080
on. And and then I really
once it hit me, I was like,

194
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:37.919
oh, the burgers are fire here
too. It definitely wasn't how I'm

195
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.840
oh my god, oh man,
so we know this is what we do.

196
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.440
Porty. Let's say let's just say
he ended up at Ohio State,

197
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.919
right, was a big sline eaters
over there too. They didn't push it

198
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.799
though. Man, look, speaking
of the rides in the sling shot with

199
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.840
Coach Tuck, we had a five
star quarterback just drop in. This week

200
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:11.200
Charles Lester had an unofficial visit.
Charles to the third out of Venice,

201
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.080
Florida, came in and just hey, man, bless yourself, bless ourselves

202
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.759
with his presence on campus. Well
you think about that, Yeah, you

203
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.679
know, I think that's really huge. Um, you know those guys from

204
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.519
Florida, they're coming coming down and
uh, you know an unsung hero in

205
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.600
that. A guy from Florida,
the Bradington area that who brought a bunch

206
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:37.039
of recruits over this weekend was Sir
Darian Adams. You know he was a

207
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.000
teammate of mine. And otis this
Jason you know him very well. You

208
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.519
know he brought some guys through there
too. He had something. You know,

209
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.720
he's trying to spread the word of
East Lanton down in Florida. But

210
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.200
you know Charles coming down to East
Lanton, you know for a visit,

211
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.759
you know, a surprise visit,
you know, really something that's that's really

212
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.360
good. And did I hear this
correct? Well? Did he after the

213
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.840
visit, did he cancel another one? Yeah, he's supposed to be going

214
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.480
to Georgia this weekend for an official
visit or for whatever reason he said,

215
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.919
family issues. He canceled his official
visit to Georgia after spend a little time

216
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.360
with Mail on the sling shot.
I don't know man, that would do

217
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:18.559
it to you. You know,
his teammate was none other than Shuck Brantley.

218
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.879
Yeah, I cinently played with him. I believe they might have taken

219
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:27.240
some pictures together. Yeah, to
be determined, like to be to be

220
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.159
determined later. As far as the
release date on those picks, we need

221
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.879
to see those. Maybe a picture
that'd be real cool too, because you

222
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.559
know, Michigan State wasn't even in
the picture for him prior to this.

223
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:42.559
So I think it was like Bama, Florida State and Georgia. And you

224
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.600
know, we don't know we're in
the game. We're not all the way

225
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.720
out, that's all. I know. We need more defensive backs. We'll

226
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.120
tell you we have one in fifty
eleven. The them, No, but

227
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.679
they're gonna graduate. You know,
it's gonna be you know, it's an

228
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.759
attrition thing, we think because these
recruits are for next year. You know

229
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:08.519
that's what this is. Like budget
planning, like budget pointing, like literally

230
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:11.559
and figuratively budget planning. But yeah, yeah, for real, you know

231
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.640
this is uh for next year's crop. You know there's gonna be some graduation,

232
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:19.160
I'm sure. Um, And you
can't ever have enough speed on the

233
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.759
team. And guys can play at
the five char level like Charles Lester the

234
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.400
third out of Venice, which is
a great high school down the beautiful place.

235
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.839
Um, and a lot of great
talent comes out of there. Heyeully,

236
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.079
the thing is, the thing is
straight and uh, we talked about

237
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:41.680
this and we saw and Corey mentioned
it. It's like there's a difference in

238
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:48.079
Coach Tucker right now with the recruiting. I think he's back to that you

239
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:55.680
know before like the farm animals and
cars on there. It's that pure recruiting

240
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:59.359
right now that's going on. And
it's that you know, like we want,

241
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:04.440
we want guys for you know,
the loyalty factor the guy says gonna

242
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.079
be here. So I think if
there's a little there's a that switch going

243
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.480
on right now with Coach Tucker and
his staff in recruiting right now, and

244
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.079
you know, for the people that
want more and more and more. Right

245
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.480
now, I say be patient because
stuff like this is it's in the works.

246
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.440
Yes, it is on the move
in a good way, So just

247
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.759
be patient. I think that,
you know, the commitments are going to

248
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.319
start falling here in the next few
weeks as we enter into the last week

249
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.359
of official visits, and we're gonna
have to bring Corey or somebody from the

250
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.039
recruiting side of things to give us
a good picture of what it looked like

251
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.839
in the whole month of June from
Michigan State. And they're supposed to have

252
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:45.440
some prize visitors on campus this weekend
as well. Coming up. Speaking of

253
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:52.799
surprises, Josh Butler of the Michigan
Panthers first gets he had a hit an

254
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.920
issue during the game, but came
back made the playoffs, and all I

255
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:02.480
know is Josh was dancing in the
locker room to you were calling this game?

256
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.279
How did it go? Yeah?
You know it was. It was,

257
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.400
you know, definitely a good game. Josh played very well. He

258
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:14.000
had some really good sticks and really
good hits and some good PBUs um.

259
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:19.039
Unfortunately for Josh he had he had
opportunity to hit the showers oh little earlier

260
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:25.519
than anticipated um as he was subjected
in the third quarter for throwing a punch.

261
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.119
But you know, things get you
get worked up and everything like that.

262
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.279
Um so, But hey, the
Panthers are in the playoffs on Saturday

263
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.440
night eight o'clock. Uh, you
know on NBC. UH that will be

264
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:44.519
playing the Pittsburgh Mawlers for a chance
to uh if they win, they're playing

265
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.240
in the USFL Championship. And not
just Josh, but we got Ryan Lurkey.

266
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.000
He's the backup quarterback for the Panthers
as well, so it will be

267
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:57.559
an interesting game Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh actually
beat the Panthers twice this year, but

268
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:03.000
it's tough to beat it team three
times, right, stright? Oh,

269
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.319
I'm near impossible to do that one. And where's this game gonna be played?

270
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.880
At you? This game is in
Canton, Ohio, Tom Benson Hall

271
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.599
of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. And you can hear it, you

272
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:18.000
know. I turn it on NBC, hit the mute button and turn it

273
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.559
on w JR seven sixty am and
listen to myself and my broadcast partner Chris

274
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:27.880
Renwick with the call. Oh,
there's a few Grandpappy references that I throw

275
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.920
in there, here and now,
and then it's a great broadcast. I'm

276
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.319
just saying that I listened to you. I don't listen to many of the

277
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.480
guys that are on the radio,
but you do a phenomenal job on that.

278
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.480
And I gotta give Stray some credit
because he said at the beginning,

279
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.839
He's like, Hey, I'm gonna
listen to you. And I was like,

280
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.519
yo, listen to me. Give
me tips. And it was like

281
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:51.400
the third quarter he said he sent
something about man something else like damn,

282
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.880
bro, you're still listening. He's
like, yeah, what I told you

283
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:59.799
all gonna listen. I appreciate that. Stray absolutely. Man, Hey,

284
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:02.920
you don't need too much tips.
I mean you're doing a good job.

285
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.759
Man. Yeah, And congratulations on
the playoff birds. Hopefully the Panthers can

286
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.200
continue. Man, you make this
get to the championship. I look,

287
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:17.920
they the players get bonuses, so
does the broadcast team. It's all good.

288
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.960
I'm trying to get I'm trying to
get size and fit it for a

289
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:30.519
ring, right, speaking of all
the rings, that's all the rings I

290
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.319
got. Lay let us get any
rings. We play far back in the

291
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.920
day. But anyway, you know, hats off to the Michigan Panthers and

292
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.839
you chow on the broadcast team as
you continue in the playoffs. But everybody

293
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:48.039
wants to talk about this update right
now. And we got an update on

294
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:53.359
alcohol sales potentially gonna happen for the
Spartan Stadium this fall. The house.

295
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.680
It looks like it's in a favorable
spot as this bill is now in committee

296
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.559
and it looks like, look,
the the tracks are greased for this to

297
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.799
happen to too. Yeah. Absolutely, and uh, you know they're talking

298
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.839
about alcohol sales. And then I
was going through reading some articles, um

299
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.000
and uh, even you get sucked
in that little rabbit hole on social media

300
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.680
on Instagram, Twitter, uh,
Facebook, and once you know those those

301
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.640
articles are posted on there and you
see the comment you just want to click

302
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.079
on the comments. You just go
through and read those. And there's some

303
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.400
people that are, you know,
talking about, oh, that's not a

304
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.359
good idea. You know, kids
are gonna be drinking. It's gonna be

305
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:37.599
drunks in the stands, it's gonna
be this, it's gonna be that.

306
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.400
I actually think the opposite. I
think it's gonna be a lot safer,

307
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:47.680
um for the for the the students
that are of age. I think it's

308
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.960
gonna be a lot safer for some
of the adults, you know, because

309
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:55.599
they don't have to chug a pint
of fireball, they don't have to chug

310
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:59.519
a pint of Nikolai vodka because that's
what they can afford at that age,

311
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.319
and call they can go into the
game, you know, at a nice

312
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.759
ober mind, they can buy beer, sit back and watch some football.

313
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.720
That's what it's about. And also
too, you know, it's not just

314
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:14.440
about the alcohol sales and everything like
that. It's the revenue that comes in

315
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.799
the partnerships and everything like that.
And we talk about we talked about it

316
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.599
earlier, that two hundred million dollars
um you know, additions for I AM

317
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:27.599
West. You know, all those
these alcohol sales, these revenues and everything

318
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.519
like that is going to go into
helping other sports, is going to go

319
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:37.440
into helping the facilities, you know, for the students at Michigan State.

320
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.559
All those things are going to be
good. We've looked at you know,

321
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.039
the twenty twenty twenty two revenue scale
there. Michigan State was twelfth in that

322
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.640
and it didn't even sell alcohol.
Think about how much higher they can be

323
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.759
and think about all the the you
know, the stuff that's going to come

324
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:57.319
out of that for the athletes,
you know, not just football, not

325
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:03.960
just basketball, not just the money
drawing sports, but also the Olympic athletes

326
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.440
as well, you know, having
an opportunity to have um swimming and diving

327
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:15.559
come back because of revenues coming in. These students, these narbs that are

328
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.000
you know on the you know,
going to school as well, have the

329
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.039
opportunity for im wes to be rebranded
and rebuilt so they can go and get

330
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:27.079
a workout and play basketball and everything
like that. It's just a win win

331
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.680
all the way around. You know. When you saw the Rep. Graham

332
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:37.640
Filler, Republican of Saint John's who
sponsored the House version, he said some

333
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.480
interesting words to He said, I
think Michian State is a great example of

334
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:45.319
a university that is prepared and it's
ready. It could turn on the proper

335
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:51.720
safety and infrastructure and get it ready
for this fall in regards to alcohol sales

336
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.240
in stadium. So I mean,
Michian State's prime and ready to go,

337
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.079
you know on this one closely.
Yeah. And the thing too, it's

338
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.200
not like it's like people just think
it's gonna be a free for all.

339
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.039
You know. They think it's gonna
be like free alcohol, and it's gonna

340
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:10.440
be, you know, just like
a big keg that you can just go

341
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.839
and dip your head under there.
It's not the red seedar that you just

342
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:17.079
dip your mug in the red cedar
and it's gonna and a beer is gonna

343
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:19.400
come out in that. It's not
that you're still gonna have to pay for

344
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.759
it. They're gonna be loss and
regulations against it. You're still gonna have

345
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.440
to be twenty one years of age. They're still gonna cut it off probably

346
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.559
at the in the middle of the
third quarter, you know, of the

347
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.160
game. It's not gonna be just
everywhere you go. It's not gonna be

348
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.200
Oprah saying you get a beer,
you get a beer, You get a

349
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.359
beer, you get it. It's
still gonna be some laws and regulations that's

350
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:44.079
put in place for this. It's
not gonna be a free for all,

351
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.079
you know, but I think it's
gonna you know, the person that's gonna

352
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.200
be, you know, be out
there like someone's putting a common chugging that

353
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.319
fifth a fireball before they come in. They might be like, you know

354
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:56.480
what I can get I can get
a beer in there, and I'm gonna

355
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.720
be like we want to. I
was, you know, on the sidelines

356
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.039
at Illinois this old beer. I
saw people in the stands, you know,

357
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.960
and we were in um I think
it was Maryland in the elevator there

358
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:12.039
and talking to the sid there and
he said, you know, our alcohol

359
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:18.519
problems have gone way down since we're
allowed alcohol in the stadium, you know,

360
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:21.960
for people to drink. Those problems
and issues that we've had before have

361
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.559
gone way down because of that.
So I think that's gonna be the same

362
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.759
thing here. HM and we and
and because of this, we want to

363
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.920
pose a question to all the listeners
out there. What are your five top

364
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:41.240
five beer and wine choices that you
would like to see in Spartan Stadium this

365
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:48.200
fall. M I got on the
line, Oh you have something sad LBL

366
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:59.920
and LBL baby lobat Blue Light,
Bat Blue Light that Canadian goodness. Listen,

367
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.279
we gotta find out. We're gonna
do a pole. We're gonna put

368
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:03.640
it on social media, so too
it after the show. We want to

369
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.599
find out what is the top five? Because you may be able to influence

370
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:14.119
this. This is the power of
shows like this in streaming platforms. We're

371
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.880
interactive, so you want to tell
us what you like. The people who

372
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:23.759
make decisions are watching, they're listening, and you know everyone in Michigan who

373
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:26.920
but good I go to it's a
summertime. I got to get an Oberon,

374
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:34.480
love an Oberon overall against Oberon.
I like Steve Smith, he says

375
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:41.920
old So being a good Catholic boy, I didn't. I didn't drink in

376
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.440
high school. The only time I
drink was that communion because I was a

377
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:48.160
good Catholic boy. Um. The
first thing my drink I came to get

378
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.839
when I said once at Michigan State
and uh it was Old English. They

379
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.160
made me play because I don't go
with the lineman at first. So we're

380
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.279
gonna go out and they're like,
yeah, you're not leave until you do

381
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:03.640
that. Takes shot me down and
wrapped two forties of old E to my

382
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.319
play ever forty hands. You know
you can the duct take the forties of

383
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:17.720
old E to your hands. He
had a complete ever forty hands before we

384
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:25.359
could go out. I mean,
not not a not a Sparta beer from

385
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:29.279
Jolly Pumpkin. We're going Old English. You didn't have jolly pumping back then.

386
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.359
Hey, I think it's a great
question. Drop them in the chat,

387
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.039
put them on social medias when we
put the pole out there, because

388
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.519
we want to know inquiring minds.
When I know what kind of beer and

389
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:44.559
wine you want to spartan stadium for
the fall, and it's gonna continue basketball

say they call him. But yeah,

404
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:51.279
the seven foot you know, seven
phenom did go number one overall. I

405
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.519
think I saw there was a bet
in Vegas. Somebody put up sixty thousand

406
00:29:53.559 --> 00:30:03.319
to win three hundred dollars. Yeah, that's stupid. Thank you tell me

407
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.880
how you really feel about this,
like like like if you that's just like

408
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.960
it makes zero sense. Like,
God, I'm gonna put this up to

409
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.359
win this and if you don't,
then you you're out tick to win three

410
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:21.920
if something ain't mathing, you know, Tony Allen Producers, that's a free

411
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.559
three hundred dollars because everybody knew if
you put if you got sixty, if

412
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.279
you got sixty k too, put
up. You don't need to worry about

413
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:33.759
three hundred dollars. This is true. Yeah, I guess just wanted to

414
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.720
make a point. Yeah, so
congratulations. Uh, there's so many different

415
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:44.079
ways to flex in Vegas, dud
dude, speaking of flex, and you

416
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:48.000
know last year we brought up Austin
Simmons reclassification discussion. This is the player.

417
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.960
If you remember that went to Old
Miss that was a twenty twenty five

418
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:57.079
quarterback. He gets a five point
three four GPA, finished all of his

419
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:03.480
high school classes as a freshman,
said, and he reclassified up two years

420
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.440
to twenty twenty three. Is there
an issue and this is the question we

421
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:14.200
talked about with going into college at
a young age versus being a little bit

422
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:17.720
more mature, because this is a
question that is happening all over the United

423
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:22.319
States with reclassing players holding kids back
or pushing them through early. What do

424
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:27.559
you think about it? Is he
ready for the game mentally physically? No,

425
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.920
he's ready for the game in the
sense of he has the grades to

426
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:38.400
get him to that point and the
Claringhouse he beat the Claringhouse game. He's

427
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:44.240
not ready for the game physically.
You know, if you're seventeen years old

428
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:47.880
and going in you're playing with grown
men, You're playing with guys that are

429
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:52.000
twenty twenty one years old. You
know, you're you're you know, you're

430
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.720
doing these things and it's like and
some of this stuff, especially at a

431
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:57.799
quarterback. Yes, he's smart.
He has to IQ and everything like that.

432
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.880
He can dissect the playbook. You
know, he can understand these things.

433
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:06.240
But there's a time where athleticism comes
into play where hey, your first

434
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:07.960
reason o there, your second reason
out there, your third reason out there?

435
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.599
Your check now, your checkdown's not
there. You have to tuck that

436
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.440
ball and go. Now you're getting
tackled by a senior that's a linebacker who's

437
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:21.599
preparing for the NFL Draft, and
you know that that takes a toll on

438
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:23.200
you. And you're asking a lot
of a kid, you know, seventeen

439
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:27.839
making some different types of throws.
You know you're talking. If you're on

440
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.640
the hash and you have to make
a throw to the opposite sideline, that's

441
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:35.519
called a big time throw, you
know, and you can't. You don't

442
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.279
have that to make that right then
and there at the end of the day

443
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:43.319
too, My question is why would
you want to do this? So soon

444
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.279
you're gonna play a lot of football, Like, what's the rush? Enjoy

445
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:52.680
your high school? Enjoy high school
football. High school football is the funnest

446
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:57.759
and purest form of football you'll ever
play in your life. What's the rush

447
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.880
to go? That's gonna be there. You can take your scholarship offer,

448
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:04.359
you can be the dude in high
school go to these different camps, do

449
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.079
all these different things. Go to
your go to your senior prom. I

450
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:12.359
was and uh I was prom king
by the way at my high school.

451
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:19.000
But you know, go to your
senior prom, go to homecoming dance,

452
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:23.880
enjoy those types of things. The
kid can't even sign his um his national

453
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:28.839
letter of intent, you know,
without a parent, you know, you

454
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.880
know, signature on their proper guided
signature. He can't even go into you

455
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:35.359
know, to say, hey,
you know, this is a form that

456
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.880
our doctors, our team doctors can
work on you in different things without his

457
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:43.519
parents signing that illegal guardian everything like
that. Enjoy your time in high school.

458
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:47.839
There's no rush. Hey, you
know, listen, I actually agree

459
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:51.799
with you on this. It's I
don't understand the rush. And you're right

460
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:57.680
when you said that high school football
is the most pure form of the game

461
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.680
when it's still fun. You know, they're trying things that right now,

462
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:05.839
you know, with different rules or
whatnot, bringing nil to high school and

463
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.119
all those types of things. But
high schools where it's fun. I mean,

464
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:12.519
if you ask any player that's played
to the Hall of Fame level,

465
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.119
that's that's the time to have run
and be with your friends. That's the

466
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:20.360
big thing too. You you talk
about that, Jason, You're absolutely right

467
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:24.880
to the Hall of Fame level and
everything like that. I remember sitting in

468
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:30.880
NFL locker rooms and guys weren't talking
about Hey remember the time when we played

469
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:35.239
in a national title game in college, or hey remember this AFC title game

470
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.800
we played it. They're like,
oh, no, my high school could

471
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:39.599
beat your high school. We played
this, we played that. There was,

472
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:45.000
you know, a video of two
players at the end of the game

473
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:45.920
in an NFL game. They're like, Hey, did you play on this

474
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:50.239
so and so youth league? Yo, we played against you. We're the

475
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:52.480
Purple and Gold team. You know
all this that's fun. That's the fun

476
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.559
people. I don't care what level. I don't care what size. If

477
00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:00.199
it's UM you're playing at IMG,
or if you're playing in where I played

478
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.679
a Class D school, that's the
funnest football you will play. It's your

479
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:08.119
boys, it's here, the town
gets around you, the school, the

480
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.119
community, that atmosphere and everything like
that. There's nothing like it, and

481
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.320
no one can take that away from
you. So I don't understand why you

482
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:21.519
will reclassified up. You know too, could leave early. I can see

483
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:24.519
reclassifying down because you want to be
bigger, stronger, faster. That's why

484
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:30.800
that's in places around that now.
So the players that go into high school,

485
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:35.840
it's very difficult now to try to
reclass after you've already started high school.

486
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.840
So I mean, you know,
I got a call the day from

487
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:44.400
a former teammate that's having that kind
of issue with the sun right now.

488
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:49.039
And it's tough once you are in
high school to do that. In certain

489
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:54.199
states Pennsylvania, for instance, they
track it from sixth grade. If you

490
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:59.079
once you hit sixth grade, you
got six years to graduate, period,

491
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:02.119
no questions that, So there is
no reclass and if if you're gonna reclass

492
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:07.280
in Pennsylvania, be got to do
it as a kindergartener. That's where you

493
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:15.960
know you're a ability strong. You
know, it's crazy and it is cultural,

494
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:19.360
is what I'm seeing. Like,
not not cultural, it's more regional

495
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:22.760
and base when you see it in
certain pocket United States. I can see

496
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:27.639
it a lot in California, heavy
in Texas, but that's from birth.

497
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:31.039
And then in Florida you see guys
moving around in different schools like every week

498
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:36.800
if you sign them the thing you
just said, the twenty three the top

499
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:40.920
recruit, Dylan Riyoma is on his
fourth high school. So see, but

500
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:44.559
the thing you just said, you
said those states, you said California,

501
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.679
you said Texas, you said Florida. Maybe Ohio's in this as well.

502
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:52.000
But that's why, year in and
year out, those schools out are on

503
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:58.000
a different level than of pumping out
you know, collegiate athletes and everything like

504
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:00.519
that. So maybe some others,
you know, places can't look at that.

505
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.119
You know something, when I was
back in New York, I preached

506
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.000
to you know, like we need
to figure out how to get you know,

507
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:12.480
with the times. If we want
to say New York football's on there

508
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.920
and good, you know, we
gotta put our players in the best position

509
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:19.119
to be successful. And I will
say it's the same thing here in Michigan.

510
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:21.320
You know. Yeah, you got
some guys that come out to Michigan

511
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.559
everything like that, but Michigan New
York there's so far behind, you know

512
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:29.559
when it comes to football and everything
else. You got people doing springball.

513
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:34.239
They're doing like padded spring practices in
high school. You don't have that stuff

514
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.039
here, you know, and if
you're you know that one person that's pushing

515
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.679
for it. Oh Man everyone's collecting
their pearls, thinking like you're like the

516
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:44.920
you know, you're something else that
kids be a kid, blah blah blah

517
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:46.000
blah blah. But yet at the
end of the day, you want them

518
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:50.440
to go and perform and represent your
state, but yet you're not giving them

519
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:54.039
that full opportunity to do so.
Yeah, that was well said. I

520
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:59.239
think there's a clear line between overtraining
the kid and being like that you know,

521
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:01.719
the robot. Do you remember that
guy time and a Renovich right was

522
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:07.920
programming him to be this ye,
like like fights from little giants. Yeah,

523
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:12.000
yeah, right, there's that,
and then there's also look, you're

524
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:15.440
given you you're you're keeping up in
a way that's fun and healthy, and

525
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:20.760
it's more mental reps is what we're
talking about. Yeah, practicing, but

526
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:24.119
they're not trying to kill each other
practice. It's it's teaching them the proper

527
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:30.360
techniques at an early age and hold
them accountable and just getting reps. What

528
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:32.679
why did you get so good after
you left New York and got to Michigan

529
00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.559
State too and get yourself into a
position to play in the NFL, Because,

530
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.000
like, like you said, reps, I did football, I trained

531
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.039
football, I worked it. I
worked muscle, so I didn't know I

532
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:47.760
worked it off the field. I
had, you know, different opportunities to

533
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:51.960
get better. You know. It
wasn't like, hey, you play football

534
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:58.159
August to November and see you next
August. That's how it is in a

535
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:00.760
lot of these states. Now it's
like, all right, see you next

536
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:02.920
August. You can still do other
sports. I'm not saying you can't do

537
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.079
other sports, but you still have
the opportunity to do you know, you

538
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.960
know, play foot, go to
go to workouts, you know, go

539
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.599
and watch some film. Right,
You don't like the mental side of things.

540
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:19.519
Kids these days don't watch enough football, you know, that is the

541
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.920
thing. You don't watch enough football. Well, they say, when your

542
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:25.440
brain is watching the film and it
kind of thinks that you're actually doing it.

543
00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:30.079
If you're focused then on the film, it's all right, it's like

544
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.519
your body's doing it, you know, it's a it's a little that's what

545
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:37.239
old vets do. They watch a
lot, but they sure watch a lot

546
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:40.199
of film. Makes them pretty good. I don't know. That's last my

547
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:45.559
check. The Pistons picks in right
there, it is Thompson, was it?

548
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:52.360
Oh sar, how do you say
that we got us a guard forward.

549
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:59.480
Osar Thompson, one of the Thompson
Wins. Amen and oh Sar go

550
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:02.679
back to Yeah, you know one
of the Thompson twins. Yeah, I

551
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:07.679
thought you were a good one.
Y'all got Darko two, he went Victory

552
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:10.920
Cigar. That was a number two
pick overall. He did go before Carmelo,

553
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.880
Anthony and a way. That's now
we'll see. Time will tell,

554
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:23.920
like who gets picked off after um, the Thompson Twins, why even the

555
00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:30.480
Thompson twins, why never mind?
But you know Darko did Darko and Tony

556
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:37.519
just said Darko did win an NBA
title with the Pistons, Dallas. I

557
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:42.199
don't know, they don't know.
He wanted with the Pistons. Yeah,

558
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:44.800
because that's why he was. Yeah, he was a human Victory Cigar.

559
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:46.119
That's every time he was in.
You know, it's gonna be a win.

560
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:50.760
Yes, yeah, he got in, got in. You know after

561
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:55.960
the I think the Pistons beat the
Lakers about two thousand and four, go

562
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:04.400
to work Pistons, Yes, Tom
Sells, Big Ben, Hey, tay

the Detroit business who's also your voice of

565
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:20.119
the Michigan State Spartan football team.
We're gonna talk about all that stuff.

00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:23.239
You're gonna bring on some man the

your mam and m and a little
bit of loyalty to a school and then

583
00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:52.719
a program. Do people feel like
this is just trying to get a sense

584
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:57.119
of things right now? People think
that the sense of loyalty is now gone

585
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:02.239
with college sports, the way things
are with the transfer portal and the way

586
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:08.079
that people are now looking at facilities. There's a quote from Maryland head coach

587
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:15.719
Mike Locksley. He says, Look, unfortunately we moved in at the time

588
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:20.280
of facilities have been de emphasized in
a recruits mind because they get dressed in

589
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:28.239
a trash can for the cash in
a pocket about twenty five grand. Mean,

590
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:32.280
what are you? What are you
thinking about that comment? You know,

591
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.000
I just pitched your kids kidding like
like I'll take that. Hey,

592
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:42.440
do you want a locker today or
do you want that? I've got my

593
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.280
con I'm going there. You know, I think you know, I think,

594
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.199
Um, he has a point.
Um, I still think, you

595
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:54.119
know, the arms race of new
facilities and everything is big. Um,

596
00:43:54.280 --> 00:44:00.639
But I think there isn't that kids
are not some kids because not every we

597
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:04.679
have to you know, let's let's
emphasize. It's not every kid you know

598
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:08.119
that goes to a college it's getting
you know, big nil money. Not

599
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:13.079
every kid's getting that. But some
of these kids that are in like that

600
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.280
ten percent, that eight percent,
five percent that are getting these big money

601
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:21.920
and everything like that aren't going because
if the facility, they're going because what's

602
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:23.880
in what's going to be put in
their pockets. You know, that's the

603
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:27.880
reason that they're gonna be going to
these schools. And they don't. They

604
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.880
don't give a damn. You know, you have a slide in your facility.

605
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:34.960
You know, some kids want to
be like, Okay, I care

606
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:38.880
about, um, what the training
room looks like. I don't care about

607
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:43.360
recovery. I care about the weight
room. You don't. Do you practice

608
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:45.360
on grass or do you practice on
turf? You don't? Those are the

609
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:49.519
things they don't. They don't give
a damn about the bells and whistles.

610
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:53.119
Nowadays. We used to because we
lived in the locker room. We were

611
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:58.320
it was it was the weight room, the practice field, the training room,

612
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:00.280
and the locker room. That's where
we lived. That was like our

613
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:05.519
bubble there and all those things.
Having a comfy lockey that you could lay

614
00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:08.039
in, lay a head down,
play a little PlayStation, you know,

615
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:13.760
do all these different things was big
to us. But now it's not that

616
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:20.960
case. People are are just are
care about, you know, what's in

617
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:24.400
it for them, and people have
these mindsets and everything like that. And

618
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:30.119
you know, we had a the
loyalty is not in there anymore. We

619
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:31.880
talked about, you know, a
guy that we lost, Keyan Coleman.

620
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:35.880
He was on a podcast and he
said, you know, I already had

621
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:40.719
decided that I was gonna do my
two year sentence at Michigan State and then

622
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:45.920
go somewhere else. I think he
got caught up in a moment in an

623
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.639
interview, and I don't think he
said what he truly meant. I think

624
00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:52.840
he really enjoyed and loved his time
at Michigan State. I think now he's

625
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:57.440
pander into the Florida State crowd as
he should. He's there, he's a

626
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.840
seminal. Now he should be there. And you know, he did give

627
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.639
you know, compliments to you know, coach Courtney Hawkins. He said they

628
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:08.400
have an NFL receivering you know,
a guy that played in the in the

629
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:14.519
NFL as a receiver. Um,
I'm gonna go and sharpen my tool in

630
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:17.079
his toolbox and everything like that.
I think the thing that Spartan fans got

631
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:21.440
all, you know, upset and
in their fields for us because he said

632
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:24.039
the word sentence, the two years
sentence like it's like it's a little bid

633
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:28.480
he's gonna do there. But um, you know, overall, at the

634
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:30.440
end of the day, he's like
nineteen, you know, nineteen year old

635
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:34.679
nineteen twenty year old kid, you
know, you know, talking and everything

636
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:38.480
like that. I don't think what
he said truly reflected on his time at

637
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:44.440
Michigan State as well. Yeah,
no, I look, you can't take

638
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:49.400
what's said in a in a in
a podcast situation like that, you know,

639
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:54.199
when a player is transitioning and you
know, and be upset about it.

640
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:57.360
I didn't. It didn't bother me
one bit, you know, not

641
00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:00.599
at all. We know where Kean's
heart is. I mean, you see

642
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.880
we talked about earlier Ravens still here, you know, and like there's no

643
00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:10.639
love loss between the Coleman family and
Raven and any of those the folks that

644
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:15.320
have been here before and left you
know, let's even talk about it when

645
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:19.719
you talk about guys like Dayton Thorn, he left as well to Auburn,

646
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.239
you know, both great schools they
both left and went to. But look,

647
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:28.960
we are still happy for their success. You know, we still root

648
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:34.079
for them to be successful. Right
Just because you have to move on and

649
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:37.440
for a career decision doesn't mean that
we've kicked you out of the family.

650
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:44.119
So to me, I don't think
that the facilities and those things have been

651
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:50.800
completely deemphasized just for money. You
know, that's the question that it seems

652
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.360
to be that we were talking about
in our production men, like do people

653
00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:57.519
do players care at all? Yes, they do. And for those mentioned

654
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:02.800
things that you mentioned, we still
see players living in the football facility right

655
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:07.280
now. And you know, I've
been on tours um around the country with

656
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:14.760
different universities in the way that they
are spending money to keep the players in

657
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:17.639
the facility, feed them in there. You know, they have the recovery,

658
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:22.000
they have the sleep stuff. I
mean, these these these rooms that

659
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:24.280
they have in Michigan States getting this
as well, where you can you know,

660
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:29.400
spend forty minutes to take a forty
minute nappenance as good as for the

661
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.840
six hours of sleep, you know, those are great things for releasing those

662
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.360
growth hormones and healing yourself and growing
all the things that you need to do

663
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.320
in order to be a better version
of you. Um, you know that's

664
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:45.159
that's what's happening now. And I
think that you don't want to skimp on

665
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:49.039
that. I don't think the players
would say I don't want that. And

666
00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:52.239
just giving the money. It's one
of those things that you got to hit

667
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:55.360
a certain level, you know,
the bells and whistles, and then you

668
00:48:55.440 --> 00:49:00.119
know they still want the money.
It's both. It's not a some you

669
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:07.039
know some of this that but you
know you O a F and that what

670
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:14.199
said boaf. Both. But the
thing is is uh sure, you know

671
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:25.159
I think for four three, two
one walk on those that facilities are huge.

672
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.639
A certain percentage of those five star
guys they I don't think it's it's

673
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:36.360
all that you know, Like I
think I agree with you that it is

674
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:40.280
big. It's nice to have,
you know, but these guys stock process,

675
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:47.039
you know, like and I'm talking
like the eight that's making you know,

676
00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:52.199
big money money that we talk about
on here, um are like,

677
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:58.440
you know, I can go and
train at home with my quarterbacks coach.

678
00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:02.360
I can do this. But the
thing that we saw that when we had

679
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.719
a bunch of Michigan State guys on
the show and said that chemistry was not

680
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:14.119
there because the lack of the facilities. You know that the facilities weren't done

681
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:16.639
at the time because they're working on
new ones. So we saw what it

682
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:21.800
is. When you're there, it
means a lot. But going there it's

683
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:23.159
like, Okay, there's a building, there's there's that, you know,

684
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:27.400
but like at the end of the
day, it means a lot. It's

685
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:30.960
it's something that's really big and uh. But you know, I think you

686
00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:35.320
need the facilities if you want to
attract people, you have to. It's

687
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:37.880
it's a must have and you have
to keep up with it. And all

688
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:43.039
these you know, schools has building
these beautiful facilities and everything like that.

689
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.880
It's great, you need to.
The arms race is still going to continue

690
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:51.719
and still be there because of the
importance of these facilities and everything like that.

691
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:53.840
But I think to some people,
but it's I don't think. I

692
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:58.880
think the percentage is higher for the
people who love it and want the facilities

693
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.400
than it is that is oh well
question. I mean you're you're gonna see

694
00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:07.840
that. Guys are not gonna sacrifice
all facilities just for a dollar. You

695
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:09.480
know, they do one, they
still want to be taken care of.

696
00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:14.559
And you know, think about this
when you talk about like in business world,

697
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:19.840
are bonding when people is usually over
breaking bread with them, spending time

698
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.119
with them. Are you know,
going on a trip where you guys are

699
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:25.159
you know, sharing experiences. May
go go to the same hotel, maybe

700
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:29.320
not the same room, but you're
gonna go, you know, eat,

701
00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:35.559
sleep, trying to achieve your company's
Uh, it depends how a chief your

702
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:37.239
company is. There you go,
there, you go. It can be

703
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:42.920
any of that. But like those
are the meaning that is that is the

704
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.639
thing. It's um. You don't
we talk about that, and I think

705
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:50.639
we lose focus on sometimes straight um. Even in your work world. If

706
00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:52.760
you go to an office and everything
like that and you have a shit office,

707
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:55.719
you have a shitty break room,
you have those things, you don't

708
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.440
want to be there. That's employee
I do I do you know, go

709
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:04.199
and do public speaking at different manufacturing
leadership and everything like that. And one

710
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.000
of the top things I tell these
these um you know, these owners,

711
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:10.119
these supervisors and everything. I was
like, hey, let's take a walk

712
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:14.199
through your facility, you know,
and I say, take me to your

713
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:19.159
breakroom. And you go to the
break room and you know, and someone's

714
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:21.719
like, hey, you know,
will you come and do a presentation on

715
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:25.079
retention to my team why it's important
to be here in culture and everything,

716
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:28.440
And so I say, you know, let's go to your break room.

717
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:31.320
Your breakroom is dirty, it has
this, that and the other. I'm

718
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:35.880
like, this is one of the
reasons why you have bad retention. You

719
00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:37.960
know, empower your employees to be
like, hey, let's decorate this,

720
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:43.280
let's put wallpaper, let's do this, let's do that. Facilities wherever you

721
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.760
are. These kids are working,
right, they don't play the game,

722
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:52.719
they're working. This is their office. It has to be nice. It's

723
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:54.199
just the same thing. You want
to go to a nice office when you're

724
00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:57.840
done, you want to go to
a nice office. Was a nice cafeteria

725
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:02.119
and everything like that. So that's
the thing that's the you know, entire

726
00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:06.559
case with that. You have to
have nice things. That's why when you

727
00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:09.119
brace something, what do they say, that's why we can't have nice things?

728
00:53:13.199 --> 00:53:16.840
You kind of have a nice things. You do look Nebraska lore Rue

729
00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:22.280
Nebraska dropping hundreds, spent five million
on a new three hundred and fifteen thousand

730
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:28.920
square foot football facility, plus rebuilding
the stadium. Arms race is the big

731
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:31.519
ten has heated up. It's true. I mean it took him for all

732
00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:36.239
that damn money. He snuggers them. I don't know who who who got

733
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:40.119
away more? Scott Frost swindled Nebraska
or Brett Farrest one of those people in

734
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:52.079
Mississippi. There's another ball for two
to who allegedly allegedly who's the biggest swindles

735
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:58.800
Scott Frost or Brett Fire your old
teammate. By the way, he wasn't

736
00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:00.800
like that. He wasn't swung on
those people. I gotta go check that

737
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:05.280
tag on those wranglers that he gave
us now to make sure he You know

738
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:10.840
people, man, look, you're
gonna he's gonna get a seasoned decision.

739
00:54:14.599 --> 00:54:17.599
Farmless swine. You got nothing starting
for lin is on it now. You

740
00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:24.599
know it's gonna be. It's gonna
be farm shooing sharp Pat McAfee. And

741
00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:31.440
they never should have fired bow believing
that's a great point. That is a

742
00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:36.159
good point. Bo Bo was actually
nice in there. And then they got

743
00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:42.400
Bill Callahan in there. Callahan,
Oh my gosh. And then the guy

744
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:45.440
who went to Oregon State for five
minutes. I forget the name of that

745
00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:51.599
coach. Can't remember the one lied
who Oh no, he wasn't the one.

746
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:54.400
Yeah, no, there just not
a very Nebraska, Nebraska guy,

747
00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:58.519
you know what I mean. But
look, yeah, they said Callahan wasn't

748
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:00.159
a Nebraska guy either, but he's
a hell the old line coach. I

749
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:07.960
love them. Yeah, when he
was at the Jets, when when I

750
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:12.480
was with the Jets, he was
there, Calahan, Yeah, oh yeah,

751
00:55:12.559 --> 00:55:17.039
he's one. That's why we played. Uh I read shirted and we

752
00:55:17.159 --> 00:55:23.039
played in the Alamo Bowl and uh
no, Callahan was the head coach there

753
00:55:23.079 --> 00:55:27.280
when I think that's when the fired
bow and the Callahan was like total.

754
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:37.480
And that's when that boy Richie Incognito
was just debo and Cagnito, Yes,

755
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:45.159
Chigo, that boy was something else. Yeah he was. That's that's ridiculous,

756
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:47.559
you know. I mean, look, man, Callahan's a dude.

757
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:51.000
When we were talking about Mike Rows
and that's the guy that Organ State guy.

758
00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:53.199
Thank you, Tony g We got
we got guys in the fact that

759
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:58.719
I just cracked so they just coming
off the top of the dome with that,

760
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:02.880
right, will never know, you

762
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:10.719

reference? Just on a non the script

763
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:17.639
Thursday nowhere but here, Look,
Tony said, Richie Incognito will always have

764
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:21.000
a place in my shit list for
what he did to Drew Standing. You

765
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:23.559
don't need to blame Richie Incognito for
that. You need to blame John hal

766
00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:29.679
Smith and for putting their gonna be
starting quarterback on special teams. That's what

767
00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:35.239
you needed to do. Yeah,
that was pretty damn ridiculous. Yeah,

796
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:05.400
Listen on a serious note before we
go, we do have some sad news

797
00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:09.960
to report the passing of Coach Tucker's
mother and missus, Brenda Joyce Tucker,

798
00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:17.760
did pass away on this Monday.
You know, she was seventy four years

799
00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:22.280
old. Prayers and condoleass to the
entire Tucker family. You know, when

800
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:25.239
you look at this human side of
things, everybody talks about the coach.

801
00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:30.639
You know, as you can see, Coach Tucker was at on campus on

802
00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:36.519
Tuesday driving kids around in sling shots. You know, just realize some of

803
00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:39.800
these are human beings and sometimes it's
it's bigger than the game. The things

804
00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:45.199
that guys are dealing with while in
those positions as being the head coach are

805
00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:49.679
just any coach at the Power five
level. So our thoughts and prayers are

806
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:54.000
with the Tucker family during the sad
time. Yes, rust and power without

807
00:59:54.119 --> 01:00:00.440
question, you know, and outside
of that, you you know, I

808
