14
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,240
It is time to get to know the foe. I

15
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,520
always want to know what's going on up on the hill.

16
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:37,799
What's going on with the University of Utah. They're prepping

17
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,759
for the Vegas Ball. They have a formidable foe and

18
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,119
the Cornhuskers, and we wish them well out there in Vegas.

19
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,520
It's a it's a place, a venue that we're well familiar,

20
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,799
familiar with here in Cougar Country. But I also want

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,960
to know what the future of Kyle Whittingham looks like.

22
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,759
Where's he going to end up? Will he take staff

23
00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:58,880
members with him wherever he ends up? If he is

24
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,880
he going to be a head coach out, is he

25
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,239
gonna be a DC assistant head coach elsewhere? Is he

26
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:07,120
just looking for a payday or is he looking to

27
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,840
continue just to coach right. I want to delve into

28
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:13,239
that in this segment with a Utah Utes insider. We're

29
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:15,799

Speaker 3: Scott, how you living?

47
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: Oh man?

48
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 5: I'm living the dream and it's not a nightmare. I

49
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,319
just need some clarification. Ben, Are you did it take

50
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,599
him two years to clean your house or they've been

51
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:12,120
cleaning your house for two years?

52
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: They clean it lickety split in one hour. But they've

53
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,120
been cleaning my house for two years. They earned the

54
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:22,759
business two years ago. Now they want to earn your business.

55
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:23,159
Speaker 3: Okay.

56
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: Quickest way, I would say, quickest way to man's work

57
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,960
is through his stomach. The quickest way to your wife's

58
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,719
guard is by cleaning her house up. So if you

59
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:34,400
want you want a nice cleaning, you want to make

60
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,199
your wife happy, happy wife, happy life. Let's get Bresa

61
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:37,960
on the job.

62
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: True statement. Sign me up.

63
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: Let's go Scott Mitchell down in Dirty Scott, things have

64
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:47,800
been crazy up on the hill over the last couple

65
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,080
of weeks. I know you caught up with Kyle Whittingham,

66
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:51,840
had a little one on one with him.

67
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: You know what's the vibe? Right now up on the hill.

68
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: How is everybody feeling about the future of Utah football

69
00:02:58,439 --> 00:02:58,840
right now?

70
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,759
Speaker 5: When Utah went to the Pac twelve, they made a decision.

71
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:06,560
You know, we weren't we weren't just going to be

72
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:15,639
here and be happy to be here. Staff UH to

73
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,639
to be competitive and going to four Pac twelve championship

74
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,599
games winning to them going to two Rose Bowls. I

75
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,919
think made a statement about where you know, where they

76
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,000
that they invested wisely and.

77
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 4: That you know, it was it was it turned out

78
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,479
to be a good thing.

79
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: Now now college football is turned the page and it's

80
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,159
going in a very different direction, and money and having

81
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:39,039
it is a.

82
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,479
Speaker 4: Very important thing. And so I think with this private equity.

83
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: UH decision, it's something they spent a lot of time

84
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,520
talking about developing.

85
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,199
Speaker 4: You know, it just didn't come out of the blue.

86
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 5: They realized that to be competitive in the conference in

87
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:56,120
the country, that they needed money, and they needed more

88
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,280
money than they had and most programs do you know,

89
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,719
you see what's going on at EYU and and there's

90
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,599
an infusion of money into the football program and that's

91
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:07,120
a good thing.

92
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:09,599
Speaker 4: And so I think you Thaw felt that needed to do.

93
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: I think it also was like, Okay, we knew Kyle

94
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,680
was going to retire at some point.

95
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 4: And I don't think anyone knew that. I don't think

96
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:17,600
Kyle knew that.

97
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 5: But we've also made it clear that Morgan Scalley's going

98
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:24,639
to be the coach in the future. So let's it's

99
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,040
kind of the right time. You know, last year didn't

100
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,480
end well. The team, you know, had a ten.

101
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 4: To two season.

102
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 5: This year was an incredible season that the two losses

103
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:40,319
were to two really good opponents, and you know, games

104
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,639
could go either way, you know, you know, break here

105
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,839
or there, they could change and so it.

106
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,759
Speaker 4: Was a very good season.

107
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,079
Speaker 5: And I think to risk the potential of a bad

108
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:54,879
season or maybe a really really good season and kind

109
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:58,639
of prolonging the inevitable, I think they just said, hey,

110
00:04:58,639 --> 00:04:59,480
we're we've.

111
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: Got this private equity, we're moving in.

112
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:05,959
Speaker 5: A different direction in our program, and where it's headed

113
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:09,360
now seems to be the sensible time to make a

114
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:12,040
break and go a different way.

115
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like there's still some optimism out there.

116
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 3: They're moving forward.

117
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:20,639
Speaker 2: They've decided to be aggressive, which is fantastic.

118
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,959
Speaker 3: Now out with the old, in with the new.

119
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,079
Speaker 2: But Kyle Whittingham has stepped down, but he's not out

120
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:29,959
for the count. He still has some juice. He says

121
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,079
he's in the transfer portal. He's willing to take on

122
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,839
another job. Do you think he's a head coach at

123
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,519
the collegial level. Do you think he's going to Michigan.

124
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,680
I know his name has been uttered by those in

125
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:44,319
ann Arbor.

126
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think he just wants to coach for

127
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:50,079
the sake of coaching.

128
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:51,439
Speaker 4: I don't think he.

129
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 5: Wants to make a lateral move, like to a program

130
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,279
in the Big twelve or the ACC.

131
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,879
Speaker 4: Or you know.

132
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,959
Speaker 5: And a lot of a lot of the really quality

133
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,920
jobs have of course been taken, and I don't think

134
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,199
he wants to really go anywhere. But boy, to me,

135
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:13,920
Michigan sure feels like a nice fit, and even a

136
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,319
nicer fit considering the chaos and the problems that they've

137
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,360
had with the science, dealing with their Sharan Moore and

138
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,680
just that whole situation. And and Michigan's a very proud program.

139
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:32,920
It's a program that has been one that's been a

140
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,319
clean program, and they do things the right way.

141
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: It's one of the top programs in the.

142
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:42,319
Speaker 5: Country, and it feels like more and more a fit

143
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,879
for for Kyle Whittingham and and I think it.

144
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,399
Speaker 4: I think that goes both ways.

145
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,879
Speaker 5: The one thing, you know, that hasn't happened yet, Michigan

146
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,480
hasn't hired a head coach, and they haven't really said

147
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:56,839
who they're going.

148
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: I mean, there was some.

149
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,199
Speaker 5: Speculation about Kenny Gillingham and Kaylin de Boor and some

150
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,959
of these other coaches, and maybe they were on their list.

151
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 4: Who knows, And maybe.

152
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 5: There's something, you know, until this Bowl game is over

153
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,519
and Kyle is kind of gone from Utah. Maybe I

154
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,079
don't know this, but maybe Kyle can't coach, you know,

155
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:15,240
or maybe he can't.

156
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: I don't know. It seems like from his comments that

157
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:19,399
he probably can.

158
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: And if I was Kyle Whittingham and Michigan came knocking

159
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:28,800
on my door, I would be on the first airplane.

160
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,600
I'd be on the first bus. I would run to Michigan.

161
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,279
I mean, it's one of the top premier programs in

162
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:38,639
the country. They have a tremendous fan base. He literally

163
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,360
will have all the resources that he potentially could have.

164
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:44,639
Speaker 4: He'll compete for the best athletes in the country.

165
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,079
Speaker 5: And with the way he develops players and his program

166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,920
and getting great talent.

167
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: That would just be a fun thing.

168
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 5: I'd love to see what happens and where he goes

169
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,639
with that. And I think it's you know, he's been

170
00:07:57,759 --> 00:07:59,279
coaching a long time, and I think it's one of

171
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:03,439
those things where you know, just just to experience it, right,

172
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,839
just to go, man, I went to I went to

173
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,879
the big House and and I got to sit in

174
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,519
a chair and I got to drive it around for

175
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,399
a while, regardless of what the results are, to have

176
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,360
that experience in your life and as a coach. And

177
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,839
he's really at a point where he still has the

178
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,319
juice to do it. He really still wants to coach,

179
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:26,720
but his family's grown. You know, he's kind of he's

180
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,000
kind of in a really good place. He's he's in

181
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:32,879
a place where he doesn't have anything to prove, you know,

182
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,159
he can just go and just really enjoy and just

183
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,639
get into just being a great coach and and and

184
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,279
putting together a great program.

185
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,519
Speaker 4: I just think it's a beautiful fit. I hope it happens.

186
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 5: And again for me, it's all just speculation and hope.

187
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,120
But I don't I don't know that there's another job

188
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,759
or opportunity out there that would excite him, Like I

189
00:08:57,799 --> 00:08:58,480
think Michigan.

190
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,399
Speaker 2: It looks like there are a few other candidates there.

191
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,639
If he doesn't get the Michigan job, where else do

192
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,639
you think he could land?

193
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 6: Do you?

194
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,879
Speaker 1: And do you think he would take a d C.

195
00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: At a DC position, assistant head coaching position at a

196
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,480
major power for university?

197
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 3: Those those?

198
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:17,879
Speaker 5: Uh?

199
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 3: I think those positions there.

200
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: I mean some of these dcs are getting paid three

201
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,200
three plus million. I know he's got a three point

202
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,960
four to five million sweetheart deal there as an associate

203
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,360
AD personal assistant to the AD and president at the

204
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,799
University of Utah. But do you think he just you know,

205
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:36,159
he takes an assistant head coach or DC role.

206
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 5: Well, you look at a guy like Chip Kelly who

207
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:43,840
went to Ohio State and won a national championships. Not

208
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:46,799
a bad deal, you know, if he goes into a

209
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,120
situation like that, And I mean there is some there

210
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:51,240
is some appeal to that.

211
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,759
Speaker 4: And the appeal is, Hey, all I gotta do is

212
00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:56,879
coach football. And that's that's why coaches get into this.

213
00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:01,399
Speaker 5: When you become a head coach, if head is like

214
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:05,399
headaches and heartache and you know, dealing with all the

215
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,840
things you have to deal with that aren't football related.

216
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:12,240
And I think that's something that I'm sure he loved

217
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:14,120
to do and be a part of. But there there

218
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,919
is a real appeal to just getting back to just

219
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:18,679
coaching football.

220
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 4: And if you again could go to the.

221
00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:26,159
Speaker 5: Right situation, the right you know, the right school, yeah,

222
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,879
that that might be appealing as well, but.

223
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 4: It has to be something significant.

224
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 5: It couldn't it wouldn't and it couldn't be just you know,

225
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,039
you know, just going anywhere to coach it. It'd have

226
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,039
to be the right thing. Otherwise I think he's like, yeah,

227
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,159
I'll just kind of sit on the sideline. Maybe I

228
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,120
sit for a year. Maybe I just take some time

229
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,240
off and uh and see, you know what comes up.

230
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:54,919
Because because part of the challenge is the lateness with

231
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,879
which this decision was made and it still won't be

232
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:03,559
final until New Years and so with the transfer portal

233
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,480
coming up, and with you know, all the different things

234
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,440
that are happening, you really need to have been in

235
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,279
place by now.

236
00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 4: So maybe it is sitting out. I don't know, but

237
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:17,159
there's certainly whether it's this year or maybe a year

238
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,399
or so down the road, I think Kyle Whittingham definitely

239
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,000
will be coaching again somewhere.

240
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you wonder if the NFL would he be interested

241
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:27,440
at all in taking that leave to the NFL?

242
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: Or is that college ball the place for him?

243
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 4: I think there's some guys that it appeals to.

244
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 5: I don't know, I've never in any conversation I've had

245
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,919
with Kyle like that. It's something, you know, maybe if

246
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:44,559
it was with someone he was real familiar with, like

247
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:48,120
Andy Reid, I know, his sons with the Chiefs, if

248
00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:51,639
there was an opportunity to coach there, that that might

249
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,679
appeal to him, just just because of the environment. Now,

250
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,559
the Chiefs are kind of down right now, maybe it's

251
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,120
not the best time to be at the Chiefs.

252
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,639
Speaker 4: I remember level Edwards.

253
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,279
Speaker 5: Ask me one time about the Detroit Lions because they

254
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,360
really went after Lavelle hard and I could tell in

255
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:15,559
our conversation that it really intrigued him.

256
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: But he ultimately knew kind.

257
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,799
Speaker 5: Of his you know, kind of where he fit the best,

258
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:26,360
and and even though it was extremely enticing, he's still

259
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:27,879
and I think he made the right choice to stay

260
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:31,039
at BYU. But still, I think I think for every

261
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,759
coach there's always that allure of Hey, that's the big time.

262
00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:39,000
Can I coach at that level? Can I succeed at

263
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:42,519
that level? I think everyone has that feeling. But again, boy,

264
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:45,919
it's that that's a that's a tough, tough place to

265
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,559
be a coach and uh and and it's it's a

266
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,159
brutal grind, even more more than colleges. So you have

267
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:58,039
zero life whatsoever as a coach there. I think it'd

268
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,639
be great at it. I think it'd be wonderful. But

269
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,840
I think for Kyle just I think he wants to

270
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,919
be selective and it's got to feel right and fit right.

271
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: Does he really want to leave Utah?

272
00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:08,919
Speaker 4: Right?

273
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: It's got What do you think he would ever entertain

274
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,919
going back to Zamah mater in coaching down the line

275
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,200
in the next couple of years, depending on how the

276
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,080
dominoes fall.

277
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, a lot of a lot of coaching,

278
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:29,200
his relationships. I mean a lot of coaches that Kyle

279
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:31,679
has brought on, you know, or even brought back.

280
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,039
Speaker 4: I mean you look at Gary Anderson, who played at YOUTHA.

281
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 5: I played with Gary Utah and Gary left and was

282
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,039
it Oregon stayed at at Wisconsin. Kyle brought him back

283
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,480
for a year or so to coach and uh, you

284
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:49,519
know he's and Kyle's got a great relationship with Coloney

285
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:51,519
and j Hill and and a lot.

286
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: Of guys that are now at b YU.

287
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 5: And you know, it's one of those things though where

288
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:00,720
I think I think it could feel like it could.

289
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 4: Be more of a distraction. I don't know, you know,

290
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,840
I don't know that's a that's good.

291
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:10,159
Speaker 5: It would you know, if he if he felt like, hey,

292
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,519
b YU has really got it together, like they got

293
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,000
their NIO money together, that really have something here, maybe

294
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,679
maybe he you know, because he look, we went to

295
00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:23,360
school there. He's an alumni of the school. I believe

296
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:26,480
that BYU means a lot to him. He met his

297
00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:28,879
wife there. I mean there's just you know, his dad

298
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,840
coached there. I mean, he's just the whole experience. Yeah, there,

299
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,279
there could be you know, under the right circumstances, and

300
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,399
that that's when your head coach has to feel really

301
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,440
confident in himself, you know.

302
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: And then some coaches aren't.

303
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:43,399
Speaker 5: You know, they're like, man, I don't want anyone that

304
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,759
potentially can overshadow me.

305
00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 4: But if you know, if he could go in there

306
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:47,720
and say, look.

307
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,679
Speaker 5: The the better, bigger minds that we have here were

308
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,120
the better we're going to be as a team.

309
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,919
Speaker 4: And and uh, you know, I don't know if Kyle

310
00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:56,320
would do that.

311
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,039
Speaker 5: I don't know if Coloney do that, But that would

312
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,240
be really interesting. That might be about as interesting as

313
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,240
I think any coaching spot Kyle could get into.

314
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: It would be crazy if he wanted to make things real,

315
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:13,480
real interesting along the wahsat front, that would be one

316
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,360
of the most controversial moves in Utah, the state of

317
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,639
Utah athletics history, b YU, Utah football history.

318
00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: That's what it would be, Scott, It'd be It'd be crazy.

319
00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: I think it would be normal. Ben.

320
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 5: Look at this relationship between all these coaches and it's

321
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,080
so incestuous. It's like they all know each other and

322
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,080
they go back and forth coaching against and with and all.

323
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 4: This stuff and just be par for the course here.

324
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,039
We wouldn't even bat an eyelash Well.

325
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,279
Speaker 2: I think Utah fans and donors and the collective corporate

326
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,279
sponsor base, I.

327
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,879
Speaker 1: Think they think. I think they think differently.

328
00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 6: You b.

329
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: YU fans would be like, Okay, let's go, we got

330
00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:53,679
we got Kyle back in the fold.

331
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,799
Speaker 1: You know, there would probably be a few.

332
00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:58,279
Speaker 2: Few individuals like I don't know if we should do this,

333
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,000
and like, no, if Kyle's willing to be a coach

334
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,360
at b YU and you have a job opening for

335
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,200
his specialty, well you bring him in with open arms.

336
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: I think, tell me what you think about this.

337
00:16:10,879 --> 00:16:14,639
Speaker 2: Obviously UTAH is going to induct him into their Hall

338
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:17,840
of Fame. I think b YU should induct him into

339
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:19,120
their hall of fame as well.

340
00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, I mean he had a great career.

341
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 5: I just happened one day to pop on a video

342
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:31,440
of Kyle when he was at d YU and they

343
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,919
were playing at Hawaii and he was all over the field.

344
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,639
You know, he was a whack defensive player of the year.

345
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:39,799
I mean he was on some really really good football

346
00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:41,759
teams at d YU.

347
00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: You know, all of what he did there sure alone,

348
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,519
I think should.

349
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,879
Speaker 5: Be fitting of him going to you know, to the

350
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:54,440
into their into their Hall of fame. So much was

351
00:16:54,519 --> 00:16:59,360
focused on offense at b YU at that time, but

352
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,000
they were really good defensive. I mean, they were great teams.

353
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,279
They had some great defensive players all through Lavelle's era.

354
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 4: But just throwing the.

355
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:11,079
Speaker 5: Football got all the attention, as it should by the way,

356
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,279
Ben but uh, but but he was great and yeah,

357
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,799
he'll he'll definitely, he'll definitely be in the Utah Hall

358
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:21,559
of Fame. He'll get his name up on the on

359
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,119
the stadium here and I'd imagine it'd be pretty soon too,

360
00:17:24,759 --> 00:17:26,799
and well deserved. I mean, he was incredible at you

361
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,599
saw what he did there, and I know for me,

362
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,680
you know, when I went there in nineteen eighty six,

363
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:35,119
I never imagined that the school would get to where

364
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,960
it got and it went places that I you know,

365
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,480
going to Rose Bowls and Power five Conferences was not

366
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:45,440
something that anyone saw happening. And he was right in

367
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,640
the middle of it and a big part of why

368
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,480
it was successful.

369
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have any unique perch as it relates to

370
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,319
the Holy War, the time, the era in which you

371
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,559
were recruited to Utah that was kind of the glorier

372
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,839
is yu football, right, and then you see this, you know,

373
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:08,039
like there was a reversal, right that you know from

374
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,599
you know, the Lavera era, and then Ronnie Mack took

375
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,319
over in the nineties and it made it competitive. And

376
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,920
then Urban came in after that and started to win more.

377
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,079
And then when when Kyle took over, it was back

378
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,799
and forth until you got.

379
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: Into the back twelve and then he dominated.

380
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: Now it's back in maybe BYU's favor the last three

381
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:31,680
go rounds.

382
00:18:31,759 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 3: Now that BYU has power for affiliation.

383
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,519
Speaker 2: Are we going to see kind of a splitting kind

384
00:18:38,519 --> 00:18:42,200
of similar to the Ronnie Mack era to Urban Mara

385
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,960
Urban era where where it was kind of fifty to

386
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,079
fifty or do you think it's going to be heavy

387
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,200
towards BYU. How do you see the win loss record

388
00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:54,160
going into the big twelve era of this Holy War?

389
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 5: I think the one thing that's always shocked me is

390
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:03,759
that anything's possible, and you really do throw out records,

391
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:08,039
you throw out talent bases. The game is shocking how

392
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,559
close so many of these games have been, and who

393
00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:15,480
won and who lost, and it's just funny how that works.

394
00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 4: So I see it.

395
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:21,839
Speaker 5: I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be extremely competitive.

396
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,279
Speaker 4: I'm a huge fan of.

397
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,079
Speaker 5: The rivalry, and I think what's happened where by us

398
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:32,400
kind of you know, edged out forward and it feels

399
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,640
like the ball is in their court. I think it

400
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,119
doesn't sit well with the people up on the hill

401
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:44,200
at Utah and so that your rival getting the best

402
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,960
of you actually makes you better and you go, look,

403
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,200
we got we gotta get better to compete, and we

404
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:54,839
don't want the humiliation of losing. And I believe that's

405
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,400
passionate on both sides of this, and all that does

406
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:02,240
is it just makes everybody better and it brings especially

407
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:03,599
with the affiliation to.

408
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 4: A power conference. I think I think the conference.

409
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,759
Speaker 5: Should really seriously look at this game coming at the

410
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:14,279
end of the season. If you would imagine, you know,

411
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,519
BYU eleven and one in Utah eleven and one going

412
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,680
into the last game of the season.

413
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 4: Or or I think that I don't know if b

414
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,799
why had they lost? Did they lose to someone?

415
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,279
Speaker 5: I don't know, they may have Anyways, the point is

416
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:34,039
is both of these teams playing for going to the

417
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:40,359
conference Championship College Football playoffs and really really squeezing every

418
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,720
ounce of what's great about this rivalryalt and letting it

419
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:45,920
play out in front of a national audience. I think

420
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,400
is huge for both schools wherever it goes.

421
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 4: But it's always going to be competitive. I thought, I mean,

422
00:20:54,279 --> 00:20:54,960
I thought.

423
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,039
Speaker 5: After winning nine games in a row at Utah, like,

424
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,480
there's no way DYU is ever gonna win other game,

425
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,720
And and then and then they did, right, and and

426
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,839
and the crazy thing is that was the year Utah

427
00:21:06,839 --> 00:21:09,359
won the Pac twelve and went to the Rose Bowl

428
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,160
for the first time, and they lost to BYU that year.

429
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,759
And so, you know, it's just that's how it is.

430
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:19,200
It's it's no matter what, no matter where, no matter

431
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,000
who thinks they're ahead of the other one, the other

432
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,079
one is going to find a way to give it

433
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,440
their very best shot every time they play because they

434
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:28,279
do not want to lose this game, which.

435
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:32,039
Speaker 4: Is which is what we all want. We want we want,

436
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:35,640
we want the healthy hatred towards one another.

437
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: No doubt.

438
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:38,559
Speaker 2: Well, some of it's going to be determined by who's

439
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:43,839
winning the recruiting battles in the state, right and uh.

440
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: Who's winning those right now.

441
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: Look, there's been a bit of a flip, but both

442
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:51,640
both teams had pretty good recruiting classes. I think by

443
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,079
you edged it out this year. But you know how

444
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:56,200
that goes year to year. We're gonna see kind of

445
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,599
battles even on the recruiting fertile grounds of the state

446
00:21:58,599 --> 00:22:00,960
of Utah, because football on the State of Utah keith

447
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:01,920
on getting better and better.

448
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,519
Speaker 3: A lot of high profile prospects here.

449
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it certainly is getting better, and you definitely want

450
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:13,359
kids from your own backyard for so many reasons. They

451
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,960
have more, you know, to play for there's a greater investment.

452
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:19,839
Speaker 4: I think both of these.

453
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:25,039
Speaker 5: Programs though, they understand there's a unique culture that they

454
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,440
have to find a player that fits.

455
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 4: Into that as well.

456
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 5: And so you know, if you look at it just

457
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,440
from the mirror stars and rankings and whatever, it can

458
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,720
be a little bit misleading because you know, it's always

459
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,400
been getting the right players to fit our culture.

460
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:47,759
Speaker 4: And I think Koloni feels the same way at BUYU

461
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,839
and they do at.

462
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:52,079
Speaker 5: Utah, and that's the fun part to watch. I think

463
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,680
the question for me about recruiting now is who's going

464
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:59,680
to be around? Like you know, there's some exciting guys

465
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,519
Youtah and you go, are they going to be here

466
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,160
or not? Or I know that you know, you take

467
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,680
a guy like Keanu Tunavaso, who is who would have

468
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,599
been a huge help for Utah this year and he

469
00:23:09,759 --> 00:23:12,240
leaves and it goes to BYU. And then you look

470
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,440
at John Henry Daly who was just phenomenal for Utah

471
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,160
this year and he left BYU and you and so

472
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,079
you certainly don't want to spend all that time recruiting

473
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,440
guys and then have them leave, and especially leave to

474
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,240
to their their rival, and it's kind of gone both ways.

475
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,839
Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe that makes it more interesting or better, but.

476
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 5: It's you know, it's so much about keeping the players

477
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,400
so that you can develop them into your culture as

478
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,440
much as you can. I think that's that's a strategy

479
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:47,200
that's got to take a different path, and it has

480
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,480
in the past, just because guys, it's so easy for

481
00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:50,200
guys to leave.

482
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,799

you know, the season thus far. What else will be

533
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:08,400
will be coming up? Look, we're getting into the thick

534
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,240
of it. After the Pop Tars Bowl, it will be

535
00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:13,000
the recruiting season. That's what will happen. BYU will get

536
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,119
some big time recruise. There are some positions of needs

537
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,960
the guests today next to me, I'm gonna ask him

538
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,319
what are the position of needs for BYU football? Will

539
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,000
obviously preview the pop Tars Bowl on the last time.

540
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:25,279
I'll get a score prediction. We'll talk a little basketball.

541
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,039
I know he probably has thoughts on the aj to

542
00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:29,359
buonce and put back dunk Man. We'll discuss all of

543
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,519
it today. Word a BA Sports Second is gonna be

544
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:34,960
brought to you by Game Day. Men's health, guys, Look,

545
00:26:35,079 --> 00:26:38,200
I finally went in the other day just to see

546
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,200
where everything was at. It's got my blood work done

547
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:42,519
and I'm actually pretty good. I'm actually right where I'm

548
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:45,119
supposed to be. I was very happy with that. The

549
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,119
wife and I are a little concern, but if you

550
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,640
are the best thing to do is to go and

551
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,200
get your blood work done, go and get tested. You know,

552
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,000
you get that free consolation. And then we discussed other things.

553
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,079
You know, there are other goals that I've set that

554
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,279
I talked about with the wife that we're gonna do,

555
00:26:58,319 --> 00:27:00,720
and meeting with Jason was a great opportunity to be

556
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,599
able to do that. I'm looking forward to the future.

557
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,000
So I promise you guys, if you go, if you

558
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:08,319
meet with Laye Alo and his crew. And here's the

559
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,640
best part. I walked in and it felt so much

560
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,920
like home. I was greeted right away. There were handshakes.

561
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,000
It really should have been hugs, honestly, that's what I

562
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,279
felt like it should have been. Gracie was great at

563
00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:23,799
the front desk, Jason Man, I felt really welcome by everybody.

564
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:27,119
Love the Christmas sweater. Somebody had a Patrick Starr went on,

565
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:30,359
so I was really impressed. And man it just and

566
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,799
and you know, of course obviously they had ESPN on it,

567
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,640
so they love their sports too. But without further do

568
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,440
list get righted to a listen. Welcome in the owner

569
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,279
of Game Day, min South and pleasure Girl I got

570
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,079
Lane Alo Lane, thanks for joining me today.

571
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,279
Speaker 8: Thanks man, I really appreciate you. You saying all those

572
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:47,359
kind of words about the clinic, and I know exactly

573
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,200
who was wearing that Patrick Star sweater without you saying

574
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,960
the name, I know exactly who it was. But it's

575
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,240
great to hear that the staff is treating you right yeah,

576
00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:58,319
and that you're you know, you're focusing on your health

577
00:27:58,319 --> 00:27:59,200
for twenty twenty six.

578
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,519
Speaker 1: It's it's super important.

579
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 8: It's one of those things that you know a lot

580
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,880
of people end up neglecting, and you know, as someone

581
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,000
who went through that same thing, it's great to finally

582
00:28:10,039 --> 00:28:13,079
be back at a point where I'm feeling better, I'm

583
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,839
performing better, I'm looking better, and so it's awesome to

584
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,039
hear that you took advantage of that.

585
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:18,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

586
00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 6: No, I talked to Jason, set up playing, gonna be

587
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:23,839
doing some things, talk to the wife, because look, I'll

588
00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:25,039
just be honest. I'm not going to hide it. I've

589
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:26,599
been open about it. I don't know if I've told you.

590
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:28,640
My dad died from a heart attack, and that's the

591
00:28:28,759 --> 00:28:31,359
last thing I want to start experiencing. I know I

592
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,759
don't look older, but like i'll be twenty nine next week,

593
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:37,599
so I'm almost in my thirties and things start to change,

594
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,079
you know. And my dad just he didn't take care

595
00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:43,000
of things the right way, diet wise, other stuff wise,

596
00:28:43,039 --> 00:28:45,240
and I'm just I got a kid now, families on

597
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:46,680
the way. I was like, I don't want to go

598
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,640
out early and neglect my health, and that's why I

599
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,119
got to get back in the game game day ment healths.

600
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's good.

601
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 6: So if men out there older than me, this is

602
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,000
the opportunity now, even if you're younger, take advantage of it,

603
00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:01,440
because that's the biggest thing. My wife and I had

604
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,240
a conversation when we were going to the airport two

605
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:05,839
years ago and she's like, you gotta make some health changes.

606
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,240
You do, She's like, because if you don't, you'll be

607
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:11,640
in the same position. And going out at fifty one

608
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,440
to fifty two is way too early, you know. And

609
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,640
our health is our wealth, it really is. And it

610
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,440
says that even in the scriptures. I hate to get

611
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,720
biblical with it, but we're taught, you know, and the

612
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,359
Bible and even in the Book of Mormon a word

613
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:24,279
of wisdom that we need to take care of ourselves.

614
00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:26,920
So I'm grateful for Game Day min's health and opportunity,

615
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,960
so for everybody. So guys, you gotta go if you're

616
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,400
lacking energy, you want more and muscle if you want

617
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,920
less belly fat. Game Day Men's south as the peptide

618
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,960
therapy's fat burning remedies, and the testosteron boost as well.

619
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,960
It's a free testosterone test and you know, consolation and

620
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,279
you're gonna get fifty percent off your first year. When

621
00:29:43,319 --> 00:29:47,160
you mentioned ESPN, the fans so grateful for that. And

622
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,759
even even the body scan. Body scan told me a lot,

623
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,319
So I know what I need to do now going forward.

624
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:54,240
So I'm going to make those changes in I'm going

625
00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:55,720
to hit that weight that I want to get back to.

626
00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:57,240
But there's a vacation that we're going to be taking

627
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,319
in twenty twenty seven. I'm not gonna say six. I

628
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:03,000
need to let those days go. I'm not the twenties anymore.

629
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,880
But i have a target weight that I want to

630
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,640
get and I'm excited to do it. So I'm grateful

631
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:08,200
for you guys.

632
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,079
Speaker 8: You know that's awesome to hear those body weight scans.

633
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,119
Those body composition scans are kind of humbling.

634
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,799
Speaker 1: Oh I did one.

635
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I did one a.

636
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,839
Speaker 8: Couple of months ago, and I was like, all right, well,

637
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,480
it just pointing out the areas that I need to

638
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:22,960
improve on.

639
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: Yep.

640
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:25,279
Speaker 6: But it's good though. It gives you the exactly what

641
00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:27,480
you need. I'm gonna attack it hard to new year,

642
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,319
after coming back from the pop Tarts bowling after my birthday,

643
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:32,279
actually got to splurged a little bit. But after that,

644
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,319
gonna hit it hard for sure. Let's get right in

645
00:30:35,319 --> 00:30:37,839
to it. Though, BYU notorder Dame, that's the first thing

646
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,079
Home and Home series, I would have to think that

647
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,680
this only got agreed upon if notre Dame was coming

648
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,400
to Provo. First, bou is not going to go to

649
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,279
South Bend. They got they got a little bit you know,

650
00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:50,599
jipped with the Shamrock series and the ticket sales. But

651
00:30:50,759 --> 00:30:52,039
just your thoughts on this home and home.

652
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:55,319
Speaker 8: Uh, super excited for it. I went to the game

653
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,599
down in Vegas. Was that two years ago? Twenty twenty two?

654
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,839
I think it was okay with Jaron Hall. Yeah, yeah,

655
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,240
super fun, really good series. And I am excited that

656
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,880
they're coming to Provo. I mean, I know that that

657
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,079
was the big controversy back with that Shamrock series was

658
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:15,720
that they ended up doing that neutral. I thought that

659
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:17,799
it was a lot of fun. You know, I love

660
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,000
going to Lavelle Edwards Stadium, but going down to Vegas

661
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,240
and making a trip out of it was a lot

662
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:22,920
of fun as well.

663
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: But I'm super glad that they're coming.

664
00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:29,559
Speaker 8: And I mean, what a marquee matchup to add to

665
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,000
already a great slate of football in.

666
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: For next year.

667
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think this is needed. I received a text

668
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:40,799
message from somebody. It was two days ago, and they said,

669
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:43,440
got to take the respect and this is how you

670
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,079
do it. How you do it is playing a team

671
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,079
like this in non conference because look, regardless of when

672
00:31:49,079 --> 00:31:51,519
it's place, and I've heard this person said it's supposed

673
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:54,240
to be October when they're supposed to play. Regardless of

674
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,119
when they play, this is a great opportunity to build

675
00:31:57,119 --> 00:32:00,559
the resume because they said, you didn't play anybody in conference.

676
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:02,759
You're not getting credit for playing someone in a conference.

677
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:05,400
So maybe you beat or to Dame and then you

678
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,440
get that respect that she deserves and if you don't.

679
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:09,680
What that does it gives the opportunities. It may be

680
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,960
an organ or a Washington or USC to schedule you

681
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,640
going forward and home and homes a non conference game,

682
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,039
which I think will eventually lead to be why you

683
00:32:18,039 --> 00:32:18,759
get in the CFP.

684
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think this is going to be only going

685
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,519
to boost our our strength of schedule this this upcoming year.

686
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,200
I mean that's been such a challenge, right, especially with

687
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,680
some of these deals that we've had where it's like

688
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,039
scheduled ten years in advance or whatever. We have no

689
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:35,920
idea what type of team it's going to be ten

690
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,640
years from the time that it was actually scheduled, and

691
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,480
so but we do know what Notre Dame's like, right,

692
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:42,440
I mean, they were one of those fringe college football

693
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,519
playoff teams. So it's great to have that scheduled here

694
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:49,759
within the next couple of years and really boost our

695
00:32:49,799 --> 00:32:51,480
resume for this upcoming season.

696
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're definitely going to boost the resume for next year.

697
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,119
The twenty twenty six schedules. To give you idea I

698
00:32:56,119 --> 00:32:57,680
of in case you haven't heard of it, they were

699
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,519
playing Kali callin at home. That's your placed now in

700
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:02,960
order Dame. They play Utah Tech, So there's your FCS opponent.

701
00:33:03,119 --> 00:33:05,960
They played Colorado State. Throw head out to the rams

702
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,319
over there. I'm going to Fort Collins, so you'll find

703
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,720
and never and drive about an hour or hour and

704
00:33:10,759 --> 00:33:13,400
a half up. I remember playing them in rugby. Smashed him,

705
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,359
so bau foom Oneys smashed him even more. Arizona you

706
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,119
play them at the crib. You traveled this season. It

707
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,240
was a double It was a double overtime game. What

708
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,799
a thriller, My goodness. And they were a good football team.

709
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:26,960
They were nine and three. Good football team. Arizona State

710
00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:29,559
also was a good football team. Kennedy Dellham got an extension.

711
00:33:29,839 --> 00:33:32,519
Sam Levit's gone, but there have beens I've seen pitchers.

712
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:34,599
If Devin denper is gonna get pulled, will he go?

713
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:35,279
Speaker 1: Doubt it?

714
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,759
Speaker 6: But let's see. But Arizona State, you get them at

715
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:40,440
the crib, you get Baylor l e S, you get

716
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,759
Iowa State. Have to think that's a dub right new

717
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:46,880
coach Rockobecks probably going to Penn State most likely he's

718
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,720
in the portal. And I'll just get your thoughts on

719
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:52,920
that you even play Cincinnati. I'm listing these out one, two, three,

720
00:33:53,039 --> 00:33:56,359
three opponents for this next season at BA you played

721
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,640
this year have all lost their quarterback to the portal.

722
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,799
Levit's not with Arizona State, Rock go Beck's now what

723
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:06,839
Iowas date and Brentan Scoresby excuse me, Sowarsby is also

724
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,360
testing the poort now And it is crazy to think

725
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,239
that that's the landscape of college athletics.

726
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:19,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, we're so grateful that we were keeping

727
00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:22,440
bear as right now right like Joshua were too, TCU

728
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:22,840
horn Fall.

729
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: It's lotstick quarterback as well. That is nuts.

730
00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:28,119
Speaker 8: I mean think about that, that movement, especially with such

731
00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:31,559
a high profile position like quarterback. I mean you have

732
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:33,880
to think, I mean, hopefully for those guys they have

733
00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:37,199
they have someone in the wings just waiting to take over,

734
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,559
right yeah, and uh yeah, it's just it's just crazy

735
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,920
the landscape of college football right now. So I think

736
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,519
a lot of those guys are testing the water because

737
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:49,039
they kind of see the riding on the wall with

738
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:51,480
college Football Playoff. If they want to compete with the

739
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,039
College Football Playoff, it's like, well, is this the right

740
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:57,480
conference to do it? I mean, unfortunately, that's that's the

741
00:34:57,519 --> 00:35:00,280
case right now, especially at quarter to the quarterback position.

742
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:00,559
Speaker 4: Guys.

743
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 6: I'm trying to get to the next level. And I think, look,

744
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:06,400
I think Bear could be contacted. That's just the way

745
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,760
they is. Everybody is. But I don't think he's gonna

746
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,880
go anywhere. No, you should be more concerned about will L. J.

747
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:14,760
Martin come back or willly declare for the draft? Can

748
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,519
you retain Isaiah Glask or is that a guy who

749
00:35:17,559 --> 00:35:20,239
before he got injured, because I think he can play

750
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,440
in a different conference to the linebacker position. I think

751
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,920
he's athletic enough. I think he is worth the money.

752
00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 8: We've seen that before in recent years, right with like

753
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,199
Keenan Peely going to Tennessee like we are. Our players

754
00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:34,440
can play in any conference, and so it's it's really

755
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,960
a testament to the program though as well, how well

756
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,760
we've done in the transfer portal, not just getting guys

757
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,400
to come to BYU, but keeping those guys. And yeah,

758
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,320
I'm not super concerned about Bear, but I'm I'm positive

759
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,000
he's getting attention from other teams.

760
00:35:48,039 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 6: There's no way he isn't well. I mean that just

761
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,400
is a credit to the coaching staff. He just said

762
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,000
the program Jay Hill in conversations with you know people

763
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,239
in the past of oh, you know the rumors that

764
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,800
go out and no fan should ever be up set

765
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,239
with that, or Kalani in the deal. Maybe that it

766
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,239
took so long for a deal to get done. You

767
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,039
could have thoughts and pains about that, but that means

768
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,679
we've had multiple guests on the show things you're.

769
00:36:10,519 --> 00:36:11,119
Speaker 1: Doing something right.

770
00:36:11,519 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 6: And at some point, I said this about a week

771
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,679
and a half ago, this staff, in the next two seasons,

772
00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:23,119
maybe three, someone's gonna be gone. And that's just the

773
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:25,599
way it goes. That's just college athletics. And they altered

774
00:36:25,639 --> 00:36:27,920
to me at some point, are gonna deserve coaching head

775
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,679
coaching jobs or coordinator Johns. These guys are position coaches

776
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:33,960
like Matt Mitchell right, he's at Colorado State, now you

777
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,199
know as the quarterbacks coach and you know as one

778
00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:39,239
of the offensive I don't know if he's offensive coordinator

779
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,360
or something there offensively, like he's he's gone now promotion

780
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,199
for him. Everybody coaching at some point has a expressions

781
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,880
to be a head coach, position, coach, dco see, whatever

782
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,880
it is. So you have to take that into account.

783
00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:55,119
But Kilanie's done a phenomenal job of being able to

784
00:36:55,159 --> 00:36:57,440
advocate for his assistance because I think this is one

785
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,199
of the longest tenures I've seen of a coaching staff

786
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,119
that it's going to be able to be together because

787
00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:04,840
this doesn't happen off in a college as.

788
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:08,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's the great thing about Kloni, and it's

789
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,639
as as any employer, like they want the best for you, right,

790
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:15,199
and Colonie wants the best for his his coaching staff

791
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:17,920
as well, whether that's with the program or if they

792
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,079
have higher aspirations to to help them get to whatever

793
00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:23,320
it is their goal is. And for like you said,

794
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,000
like the competitive nature of college football coaches, they want

795
00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:30,960
higher and bigger and better, right, And that's the kind

796
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,599
of guy that you want your staff as well. And

797
00:37:32,639 --> 00:37:35,239
so at times that means that they have to you know,

798
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,679
spread their wings and fly at a different program. But yeah,

799
00:37:38,679 --> 00:37:41,519
it's been it's been awesome to have the consistency that

800
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:44,039
we've had over the past few seasons.

801
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, you're not wrong. Got to have the consistency,

802
00:37:48,159 --> 00:37:50,400
no doubt about it. Let's go and transition out to

803
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,119
the pop tards ball b he takes them door to

804
00:37:52,199 --> 00:37:55,880
tech the football team, the quarterback form or four star.

805
00:37:56,199 --> 00:37:58,079
He can run it, he can throw it. He's phenomenal

806
00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:00,000
with his legs on the ground. You can say arguably

807
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,480
he's just as good as bare I looked with stats.

808
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,039
I think he's got fifteen tds on the ground, almost

809
00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:08,199
one thousand rushing yards this season. He can run the football. Yeah,

810
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,719
you saw what he did against Colorado. Tear you up

811
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,000
if you if you don't plan for a plan for him.

812
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,639
What do you like about the matchup? What Bau's defense

813
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,199
can can accomplish in this game? And give me a

814
00:38:19,199 --> 00:38:19,800
score prediction?

815
00:38:20,559 --> 00:38:27,079
Speaker 8: Oh man, well, I think we do match up pretty well.

816
00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:31,639
We've done fairly well against uh running quarterbacks already this season.

817
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,400
We're in a unique position where we have some linebackers

818
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,480
that can you know, spy the quarterback and kind of

819
00:38:38,559 --> 00:38:41,840
keep him a little bit more corraled. He is a

820
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,960
phenomenal quarterback right both with his legs and with his arm,

821
00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:47,559
and so it will be a unique challenge for this team.

822
00:38:47,559 --> 00:38:49,920
But I think they're I think they're ready for the task.

823
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,519
And we're healthy at the linebacker position. So whether it's

824
00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:56,320
Jack Kelly or as Isaiah Glasker or one of these

825
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,079
other new guys like new Sire, or we have some

826
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:02,800
some dudes that can run and and make sure that

827
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,599
we keep him a little bit crowd like I mentioned before.

828
00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:09,719
So I think we're in a good position we have.

829
00:39:11,199 --> 00:39:13,719
I have no doubt in my mind that they are

830
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:21,440
game planning specifically for that, and I have the most

831
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:24,320
confidence in the world that Jay Hill will dial something

832
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:29,599
up that will keep him at bay. In terms of

833
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,360
score predictions, man, I have no idea what the score

834
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,039
of this is game is gonna be. I don't think

835
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:36,599
it's gonna.

836
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 3: Be a blowout.

837
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a close game.

838
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be like the Colorado

839
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:41,920
game last year.

840
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,679
Speaker 1: For our whole game if it would to be great,

841
00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:44,360
but I don't think so.

842
00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

843
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:47,599
Speaker 6: I mean, motivation is a big factor for I think

844
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:48,679
both these teams.

845
00:39:48,679 --> 00:39:49,639
Speaker 1: I think so too.

846
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,639
Speaker 8: I think they both feel a little bit snubbed, and

847
00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:54,840
so I think they're gonna both come out playing really,

848
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,440
really hard. And so I don't know, I would say

849
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:05,519
it's gonna be like BYU twenty four Georgia Tech twenty

850
00:40:05,559 --> 00:40:06,679
one or something along those line.

851
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think it's gonna be definitely a touchdown

852
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,000
or less, you know, thirty one twenty seven type game.

853
00:40:13,039 --> 00:40:15,360
Definitely in that ballpark up for sure. But the Cougars,

854
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:16,920
you got them coming out on top of your thoughts

855
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,159
on the helmet, the Pop Tarts sprinkle helmet and are

856
00:40:19,159 --> 00:40:21,800
you in the competitive petty nature that bo should wear

857
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,599
that helmet in a uniform against Notre Dame next year?

858
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,119
Speaker 8: Oh no, No, I love the I love the the

859
00:40:29,199 --> 00:40:32,039
unique helmets that they they came out with.

860
00:40:33,199 --> 00:40:36,679
Speaker 1: I know that our record when when having kind of.

861
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:41,199
Speaker 8: Those those custom those custom lids, is a little bit suspect,

862
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,199
but at the same time, like I love that they

863
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,880
do it. I don't I don't put too much weight

864
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,840
into that, like determining the outcome of the game or

865
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,800
anything like that, but I think it's fun to do that.

866
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,039
I mean, the Pop Tarts Bowl In recent years, that's

867
00:40:54,079 --> 00:40:56,320
been one of the most fun bowl games to watch

868
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,880
with all the festivities and the way that they entertained

869
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:02,960
for the game. I mean, this is this is way

870
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,599
better than uh, what's that one? Like the Duke's Mayo

871
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,840
Bowl or I'm not throwing shade at like these other

872
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,440
these other bowl games, but the Pop Tart Bowl. They

873
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,880
know how to do it. And the fact that they're

874
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,239
doing this with the the uniforms is a lot of fun. Now,

875
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,039
what do I think that they should wear this for

876
00:41:20,199 --> 00:41:21,079
the Notre Dame game?

877
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:21,599
Speaker 4: Now?

878
00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: Honestly, the Notre Notre game is too cute. Keep it business.

879
00:41:25,639 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, Notre Dame's decision not to play in the in

880
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,880
the bowl game, I think had very little to do

881
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,280
with b YU. I think it was a personal decision

882
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,719
that they made, But I don't think it had anything

883
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,800
to do with b YU. I think whoever they put

884
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,239
in front of that Notre Dame, they would have made

885
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:39,920
the same decision.

886
00:41:40,159 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that the Players Committee.

887
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,039
Speaker 6: From everything that's come out now as Jeremiah Love is

888
00:41:44,079 --> 00:41:46,199
declared for the NFL Draft, and I think a couple

889
00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:48,519
other players have said that they would have opted out anyway,

890
00:41:48,559 --> 00:41:49,920
and what if to declared for the draft. They just want

891
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,960
to have the bodies, you know, and that doesn't make

892
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,760
the argument do you go out there like Florida State

893
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,639
of Guys or you know, the main quarterback gets hurt

894
00:41:56,679 --> 00:41:58,800
and everybody opts out in Georgia spanks them. Do you

895
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,159
go out there and have that? Is it worth the brand?

896
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 4: Like?

897
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 6: You know, Kirby Smart praised Florida State that it's unfortunate

898
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,039
that they had to get left out and had to

899
00:42:07,039 --> 00:42:08,719
deal with that, and that they had to play second

900
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,719
third and maybe even walk on guys. Right, he tried

901
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,199
to do the best that he can, but he had

902
00:42:12,199 --> 00:42:14,239
the game plan and he had to be down a

903
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,320
team that was already be down. So you bring up

904
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,920
a good point with that. And maybe they also opted

905
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,280
out as like, look, we're gonna play you in a

906
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,119
home and home anyway, So you know, maybe that we

907
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,360
don't know, right, but that's all speculation. But at the

908
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,679
end of the day, I really think they didn't have

909
00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:29,039
the bodies. I don't think they would have.

910
00:42:29,559 --> 00:42:32,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, it sucks for the seniors on that team though,

911
00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:34,760
the guys who don't have eligibility that Yeah, no, that

912
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,119
would have been their last game every that does suck,

913
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,440
and then some of these guys like that would have

914
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,639
been a huge opportunity for him, like they might never

915
00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:45,079
make it back to or make it down to Florida.

916
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, like hanging with.

917
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 8: Their friends, experiencing some of the stuff they would for

918
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,599
the Bowl game. So I feel bad for those guys.

919
00:42:51,639 --> 00:42:54,760
But you know, it's great that l has a consolation

920
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,119
prize that we're getting them in twenty twenty six and

921
00:42:57,159 --> 00:43:01,199
twenty twenty seven. But yeah, it's it's kind of a weird.

922
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:04,840
It's a weird precedence for the sport, and hopefully we

923
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,719
can figure something out to make this type of thing

924
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:08,519
not happen again.

925
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:10,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've definitely got to make sure it doesn't happen again,

926
00:43:10,639 --> 00:43:12,360
no doubt about it. I'm here with Lane Allen, the

927
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,960
owner of Game Day, Men's Healthier for Pleasant Grove, in

928
00:43:16,039 --> 00:43:18,840
a world a bau Sports second on a Christmas Eve

929
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,079
edition of Cougar Sports here on one to three, nine

930
00:43:21,079 --> 00:43:23,159
and ninety eight three. Finish up on the last couple

931
00:43:23,159 --> 00:43:24,480
of things and then we'll get you out of here.

932
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,119
Got to talk a little bit of basketball. Ag de

933
00:43:27,199 --> 00:43:29,400
box is put back dunk. Don't know if you're at

934
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,079
the game, if you're watching on television or if you

935
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:34,960
saw it afterwards, just your reaction. And then the thirty

936
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,440
point triple double, first ever thirty point triple double on

937
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,800
BYU history, first triple double since Kyle Collinsworth March sixteen,

938
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,639
twenty sixteen. Almost what so about almost ten years ago?

939
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,440
Nearly what a decade ago that it's taken that to happen.

940
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,159
Your thoughts on that?

941
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 8: Man, one of these teams gonna learn that they got

942
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,920
a box out right, because it's two games in a row. Now,

943
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,559
well was was Apple? Yeah ZAPLI and Chris he had

944
00:44:01,559 --> 00:44:07,440
to put back on Monday. Yeah, phenomenal. I mean, this

945
00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:11,360
guy is so insanely athletic in his court vision to

946
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:16,679
to even anticipate that, uh is so great. So we

947
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,800
are so spoiled as fans to have this team right now,

948
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,320
to see what they're able to do, and to have

949
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,199
a player like a j de band So, I mean,

950
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,719
hopefully we get another player like this in the future,

951
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,320
but we are so spoiled to have a guy like

952
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,800
him at b YU. So I didn't watch the game

953
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,920
live last night. It was spending time with the family

954
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,800
doing Christmas festivities. But I did watch it back, and

955
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,599
uh was was elated when I saw when I saw

956
00:44:45,639 --> 00:44:50,760
that dunk. In terms of his just overall performance, man,

957
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,280
he is he is getting better and better. I mean,

958
00:44:54,559 --> 00:44:57,800
there's gonna you're you're starting here the national media that

959
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,400
the the analyst saying there was that that period of

960
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,920
time where you know, they're questioning whether he was going

961
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,920
to be the number one draft pick. He's somewhere in

962
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,599
the top three. I mean, he's solidifying it right now.

963
00:45:08,199 --> 00:45:10,519
Like you can't look at that guy and say, like

964
00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:13,199
his game is becoming more and more well rounded, not

965
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:18,000
just from a scoring perspective, but his ability to pass,

966
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:22,559
his ability to rebound. I mean, it's it's just incredible

967
00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:24,320
to see what this kid's doing right now. And he's

968
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,840
really he's really coming into his own and figuring out

969
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:28,599
the college game.

970
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, he definitely. As Kevin Younger said that he continues

971
00:45:31,159 --> 00:45:33,360
to grow every game. You're like, well, how much growth

972
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,360
does he have with the way he just continues to

973
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,239
grow in every game? And now you're saying it, you know,

974
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,599
the career high with thirty five thirty point triple double.

975
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,280
I do not want to be Mihilo Boskovich in that situation.

976
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,599
That was a shot of his life. That's probably the

977
00:45:46,639 --> 00:45:48,440
biggest shot he's ever going to take in his career

978
00:45:48,599 --> 00:45:51,039
unless he's in a championship game with opportunity to win it.

979
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,880
Because if he would have missed that shot, he'd been

980
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,800
a very hated man in provo. So I don't envy that.

981
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,519
But I was watching on Monday being like, you've you

982
00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:01,880
missed it? Ooh, and he made it so it made

983
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,960
up for But no doubt, AJ definitely is showcasing why

984
00:46:06,519 --> 00:46:08,239
he's going to be the number one pick, and if

985
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,239
he doesn't in conference play, I think he will. I

986
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,119
was looking at the numbers yesterday today he's right behind

987
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,320
Cam Boozer with second and leading scorer in the country

988
00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:20,159
with twenty three point one. Cam is twenty three point three.

989
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,800
So he's on track to win a Nasmith Player of

990
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,440
the Year and the last person to do it at

991
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,320
BA was Jimmer for that.

992
00:46:26,039 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, it's absolutely crazy. This freshman class across

993
00:46:29,559 --> 00:46:33,960
the country is just so stacked. I mean, and it's

994
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,559
I mean, this is a product of nil right. A

995
00:46:36,599 --> 00:46:39,800
lot of these players would not be in uh in

996
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,800
college right now if it weren't for and I. They

997
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,239
would figure out some other path to get to the NBA.

998
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,400
But it's great. It's it's great for the sport, and

999
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,519
it's really exciting. I mean, I I wasn't around for

1000
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,400
uh well I would I don't remember Sean Bradley. I

1001
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,320
was actually at BYU when Jimmer was there. And this

1002
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,760
is the most or excited I've been since since those

1003
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,039
Jimmer years, and it's been it's been a while, right,

1004
00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:09,079
It's it's just really fun time to be a fan.

1005
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 6: It's a fun time to for those fans yourself watching that.

1006
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,360
As a media member, I enjoy watching and covering. Look,

1007
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,800
I'm gonna enjoy every aspect because I'm sure at some

1008
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,599
point they'll have a number one overall recruiting the Kevin

1009
00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:23,880
Young gar As long as he's at BYU, I don't

1010
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,920
know if there'll be another AJ. That's the thing that's

1011
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:31,320
the tough part is this is a generational talent, generational player,

1012
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,039
gonna go down in the history of BYU greats. He's

1013
00:47:35,079 --> 00:47:37,679
gonna be up there with Jim if not better, depending

1014
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,079
what they're able to do, if they're able to get

1015
00:47:39,079 --> 00:47:41,119
to an elite eight. Last time I was done with

1016
00:47:41,199 --> 00:47:43,280
Danny Age in eighty one. You get to a final

1017
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,960
four like Bo. He is the most NTA appearances without

1018
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,559
a final four. He does that, I think he's one

1019
00:47:48,599 --> 00:47:50,320
of the greatest players, if not the greatest player in

1020
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,880
Kevin Young by go down as the greatest coach. Some

1021
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,360
people are gonna say that's hyperbole, and they're gonna say

1022
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,360
it's way too early. But look, none of those other

1023
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,760
coaches got there. I get it's a different error. I

1024
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,519
get things are way different. I understand that, but you

1025
00:48:02,599 --> 00:48:04,119
have to play with the cars that you're dealt. Those

1026
00:48:04,199 --> 00:48:06,400
other coaches accomplished a lot, and they are all time

1027
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,320
greats and they go down in history their top five

1028
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,840
Dave Rose, Steve Cleveland. I don't want to take that away,

1029
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,320
but Kevin Young gets Bo to a final fourth, opportunity

1030
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,639
to get to the national championship. If that occurs, there's levels,

1031
00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:21,239
there's levels, so you better enjoy it as bau fans.

1032
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,280
And I know you're enjoying it and other people are,

1033
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,480
but they're you need to enjoy Also, Game Day Min's Health.

00:48:47,639 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's focusing on preventative medicine as opposed to

00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:57,320
you know, wait until you're sick and overweight and low energy.

1044
00:48:58,159 --> 00:49:00,599
There are things that you can do now to help

00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:01,920

1046
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:02,199

Speaker 1: You got to do it.

1050
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,199
Speaker 8: At a younger age, right, and your overall life will

1051
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,079
improve in all aspects.

1052
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 4: Right.

1053
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 8: That includes your your family life, your your business, professional life,

1054
00:49:18,199 --> 00:49:21,039
whatever it is, it will be better because your health

1055
00:49:21,159 --> 00:49:23,480
is better. And so it requires a little bit of

1056
00:49:23,519 --> 00:49:27,000
investment and it requires some time. And we're here to

1057
00:49:27,039 --> 00:49:30,440
help people feel their absolute best. I mentioned this before.

1058
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,920
Not only are we here for you to feel your best,

1059
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,119
but to perform your best, to look your best. Like

1060
00:49:37,159 --> 00:49:41,239
we understand that this is all part of like people's goals, right,

1061
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:44,079
and so that's what we do. You mentioned our provider,

1062
00:49:44,199 --> 00:49:48,519
Jason he is fantastic. There is a reason why we

1063
00:49:48,679 --> 00:49:51,760
hired him because we knew that he truly cared about

1064
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,960
his patience and that comes across when he sits down

1065
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,320
with him and tries to understand what their goals are.

1066
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,559
Not every guy is exactly the same. They have different goals,

1067
00:50:00,559 --> 00:50:04,000
they have different expectations, and he works with them to

1068
00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:07,079
figure out exactly what is the best options for them

1069
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,519
based off of what those goals are. And so I've

1070
00:50:10,519 --> 00:50:15,760
said this before on the show. The consultation is completely free.

1071
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,960
The labs to understand where your hormone levels are at

1072
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,079
is completely free, and so there's really not a ton

1073
00:50:23,119 --> 00:50:25,960
of risk like it's it's I can tell you, And

1074
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,239
we have a very strong philosophy that like every guy

1075
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,559
should know where the hormone levels are at. If you

1076
00:50:32,679 --> 00:50:35,360
don't know, and you're above the age of thirty, like

1077
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,559
you should absolutely come in at the bare minimum find

1078
00:50:38,559 --> 00:50:40,719
out what those levels are at, and then from there

1079
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,960
it might explain some of the things that you're experiencing.

1080
00:50:43,559 --> 00:50:45,840
So if you are low energy, if you are not

1081
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,159
recovering from the gym, if you're not if you're starting

1082
00:50:48,159 --> 00:50:51,239
to put weight on in your middle or your mid section.

1083
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:55,559
These are all things that are directly impacted by where

1084
00:50:55,559 --> 00:50:58,039
your hormone levels are at, and so we can help

1085
00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:00,880
out with that. So that's that's that's my pitch, that's

1086
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,280
what we're trying to help guys out with. And really

1087
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,480
it's a matter of listening and figuring out what you want.

1088
00:51:05,679 --> 00:51:07,599
Speaker 6: But you gotta go in guys. Look, I went into

1089
00:51:07,679 --> 00:51:10,840
to Jason. It was a great, great talk. I'm good

1090
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,039
to catch up, ready to feel cared about right where

1091
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:15,280
the person's focusing on you or how are you feeling?

1092
00:51:15,599 --> 00:51:18,840
What are your concerns asking those questions? Okay, this is

1093
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,159
what we have. What would you like to go hear?

1094
00:51:21,199 --> 00:51:24,079
Are your options? All of it being explained, and man,

1095
00:51:24,119 --> 00:51:26,239
it it's set up of like, man, I feel like

1096
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,800
I can really accomplish. You feel empowered when you leave,

1097
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,679
And I hope that people that are listening to this

1098
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,199
right now live or on the podcast that they can

1099
00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:37,480
feel the same thing because I really feel like, man,

1100
00:51:37,519 --> 00:51:39,880
I'm gonna attack twenty twenty six hard. I'm really going

1101
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,559
to be able to change in my life. And that's

1102
00:51:41,559 --> 00:51:43,239
how you get back in the game with game day

1103
00:51:43,519 --> 00:51:45,679
ments health, I need to let you go. I've taken

1104
00:51:45,679 --> 00:51:47,360
a lot of your time today. You got to get

1105
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:48,960
back to the family. I met your wife. I don't

1106
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,559
want her get upset with me. I know family time

1107
00:51:51,679 --> 00:51:53,599
is important. But before I let you out of here,

1108
00:51:53,639 --> 00:51:56,559
I need to ask this traditions in an aloe house?

1109
00:51:56,639 --> 00:51:57,599
Speaker 1: What do you guys like to do?

1110
00:51:58,159 --> 00:51:59,599
Speaker 6: Who will you guys be with this Christmas?

1111
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,679
Speaker 1: Are you the pajama family?

1112
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:02,199
Speaker 4: You know?

1113
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,519
Speaker 6: Bread and I had this discussion yesterday before he left.

1114
00:52:04,639 --> 00:52:06,679
In the first hour, him and Out were like, yeah,

1115
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,000
we lose the battles on the pajama things, but what's

1116
00:52:10,039 --> 00:52:11,159
their traditions in your house?

1117
00:52:11,559 --> 00:52:13,639
Speaker 8: So we do the pajama thing. This is actually we

1118
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,519
changed it up this year. So in previous years we

1119
00:52:16,519 --> 00:52:19,760
did pajamas on New Year's Eve, and we realized if

1120
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,599
you do it New Year's Eve, you can only wear

1121
00:52:21,639 --> 00:52:23,559
them for you know, a handful of days out of

1122
00:52:23,559 --> 00:52:26,480
the year. So we actually did pajamas early this year,

1123
00:52:26,519 --> 00:52:28,000
and I think we did it like on the first

1124
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:29,639
or the second or something like that. Oh, so we've

1125
00:52:29,639 --> 00:52:32,519
been wearing Christmas pajamas now for the entire month of December.

1126
00:52:32,599 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: Oh I like that.

1127
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,039
Speaker 8: Yeah, because the Bread and I were saying the one

1128
00:52:35,079 --> 00:52:38,519
day sucks. Oh yeah, Christmas, it's it's all about ROI right,

1129
00:52:38,639 --> 00:52:42,440
you got you gotta get your money's worth. Yes, so

1130
00:52:42,119 --> 00:52:44,039
uh so that's one big change that we've made.

1131
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,199
Speaker 1: No, this year is gonna be pretty low key.

1132
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 8: We're sticking around, uh, sticking around here, spending some time

1133
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,880
with my wife's family. Uh. They live in Pleasant Grove

1134
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,079
where where our clinic is at, and just keeping it

1135
00:52:57,079 --> 00:52:59,400
pretty low key this year. So, but I'm not gonna

1136
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,880
bore you with all the traditions. My wife is all

1137
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:02,800
about traditions.

1138
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 6: Look, I always like to know how other people's wives

1139
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,639
are because my wife is about the only tradition that

1140
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,679
my mom installed and says, we watched the Public Express Christmas.

1141
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,159
We have hot chocolate and popcorn and we watch an

1142
00:53:12,199 --> 00:53:14,159
Upper Jamas. That's really the only thing that we do.

1143
00:53:14,519 --> 00:53:17,079
But the whole actions, they got a bunch of other

1144
00:53:17,119 --> 00:53:19,360
stuff that they do. So I'm always intrigued to know

1145
00:53:19,639 --> 00:53:22,159
because I feel like I hate the South this way,

1146
00:53:22,199 --> 00:53:25,519
But as a man, I'm like, I'm pretty simple food games,

1147
00:53:25,519 --> 00:53:27,079
and I'm okay.

1148
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,639
Speaker 8: If anything happens to my wife, my kids holiday experiences

1149
00:53:31,679 --> 00:53:35,559
are gonna change drastically because Dad doesn't put put much

1150
00:53:35,599 --> 00:53:39,440
time and effort into the traditions, but the wife is

1151
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:40,079
all about them.

1152
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dad's a vacation guy.

1153
00:53:41,639 --> 00:53:43,679
Speaker 6: That's what I say. I'm a vacation person. See, you're

1154
00:53:43,679 --> 00:53:45,559
not in your head like Ben and I talk all
