But towards the end, 321 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,279 I mean obviously the end is the worst. Like they're 322 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:12,639 running right before and after the lunges. It's like your 323 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:15,519 toast and then it's just making it. For a guy like me, 324 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,159 that's the hardest part. Is the running is the worst 325 00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:17,320 to me. 326 00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 6: Yeah. 327 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:20,559 Speaker 4: Now there's some people out there that do really well 328 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,919 because they're good runners. They just they don't do the stuff. 329 00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:24,600 They're not strong. They don't do the stuff in the 330 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,799 middle as good. Yeah, as well. 331 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,759 Speaker 5: Excuse me, it's good. That's good. 332 00:15:29,919 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 7: I'm assuming you have to go a certain distance on 333 00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:33,159 the Burbie Brool jumps. 334 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:36,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a distance. It's like two hundred meters or 335 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,799 something like that. I can't two hundred meters. I thought 336 00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:40,080 you were gonna say like fifty feet. 337 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 5: It might be one hundred meters. I can't remember. It's 338 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,159 it's a good little wayso yeah, again it's meters, not yards, 339 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,200 So I don't understand it. 340 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 7: But your fancies about kilometers you ran yesterday and he. 341 00:15:53,600 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 5: Came back speaking of kilometers being fancy. The Saints now 342 00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:12,159 have the right to the to Italy and then the 343 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:12,840 whole country. 344 00:16:13,799 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: There's an NFL Global Markets program, and they got granted 345 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,399 the rights. I think this is didn't didn't Gal Benson 346 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,960 have an audience with the Pope recently? 347 00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that makes sense. 348 00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 4: That's a fancy way to put that, have an audience 349 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,159 with the Pope. I read it that way. I didn't 350 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:29,759 come up with that. 351 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:30,639 Speaker 5: But it's good. 352 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,799 Speaker 4: She had an audience with the Pope, and now they 353 00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:37,120 have the rights, the global market rights to Italy, which 354 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,720 I have no idea what that really means. I think 355 00:16:38,759 --> 00:16:41,320 that means that they can market in Italy and I 356 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,000 believe they got they had the rights to France. It 357 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,879 has nothing to do with games, I don't think. Originally 358 00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:47,399 I saw this, I was like, Oh, that means they're 359 00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:52,320 going to be like like the Jaguars are to London 360 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,919 any time they play overseas, usually them or something like. 361 00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:58,080 That's what I kind of thought it was, But it's not. 362 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,480 It's just kind of like the global marketing rights expand, 363 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,159 like the game and stuff, so they can market the Saints. 364 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:05,319 Speaker 6: Which you can probably like get TV rights or something. 365 00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:08,839 Speaker 5: I don't know how that France for sure, because they 366 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:09,480 play in Paris. 367 00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe they want to play in Italy and 368 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,799 that's why they're going to start the marketing push. 369 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,799 Speaker 7: Now, well Pinky's up and then like the Saints are 370 00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:22,599 going to be Italy's team, Like that's yeah, like Saints 371 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,279 merge all that. 372 00:17:23,279 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 4: That would be sure.

That's why the school. 538 00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 4: Administration has pushed so hard on all these coaching hires 539 00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:20,559 and made these moves that other teams wouldn't have because 540 00:26:20,599 --> 00:26:23,920 we expect greatness and everything. Basketball has been the sport 541 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,279 and we talked about it last week before the Will 542 00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:29,119 Wade move happened. It was like, all right, because everything 543 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,680 else is so awesome, Like we want basketball to be good, 544 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,839 but it's not like a do or die, make or 545 00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:40,079 break my life situation. But now that he is here, 546 00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:43,920 he is saying he put the challenge down, he drew 547 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,440 the line in the stand and said, no, we are 548 00:26:45,519 --> 00:26:48,599 going to be great. And he said this LSU program 549 00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:51,920 is not here too, and it's and is not meant 550 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,200 to be mediocre. And when I heard that, it got 551 00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,880 me excited. I was in basketball guy me so, and 552 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,400 I think that dribblehead absolutely legiped. 553 00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 5: Give and go ahead. I don't know what what is this? 554 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 7: Those are those are basketball thing, Jess, So, I mean 555 00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:14,880 those are all basketball. I never heard of you that way. 556 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,039 Speaker 4: But I mean I don't freak terminology, like I don't 557 00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:18,680 know a lot of basketball terms, but those are the 558 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,279 ones I knew. 559 00:27:24,079 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 5: So what did y'all think of? And I know we're 560 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,799 about to we're gonna go break. 561 00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 4: We'll probably break this up talking about this, and but 562 00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:33,839 just give me the quick overview of what things stuck 563 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,160 out to y'all from the press cones. Because my thing, 564 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,279 when I when I saw it, I was like, he 565 00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:39,160 didn't really need to say anything else. And his press 566 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,799 conference wasn't that long. He didn't like talk for too long, 567 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,960 but it was this program is not meant to be 568 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,119 a mediocre and I didn't come here to reflect on 569 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:46,559 the past. 570 00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 5: I came here to win immediately, and so that was 571 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,359 those things to me. 572 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 4: It's like this day and age you can and the 573 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,839 confidence you're speaking with, the energy you're speaking with, That's 574 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,119 why LSU made the moves that it did. 575 00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 7: The last question of the of the press conference, Scott 576 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,079 rabbolay for asking it. He said, you feel like you 577 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,680 o LSU something, and Wade gave a great answer. It's 578 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,079 about a minute and a half two minutes, and he 579 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,359 basically said, yeah, I do, because you. 580 00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 3: Know, yeah, there is a part of me that feels 581 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,359 that way. I've never connected with a fan base and 582 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,839 with people like I have with LSU and Louisiana. And 583 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,079 I feel like we left the book open a little bit, 584 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,480 We left some chapters out there, and we left some 585 00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:31,400 chapters unfinished. And to have the opportunity to come back 586 00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:35,440 and finish that off and to bring pride and joy 587 00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:39,400 to people that I care about, yeah, I feel a 588 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,559 heavy burden towards that and That's a big reason I 589 00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:43,400 came back.

And it's just I feel like, 681 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,480 like you said, one way or another, it's gonna be 682 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,480 a hell of a ride. 683 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 5: Right, Matt. 684 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 7: You talked about it, you know, going through all these 685 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,000 coach it searches. You said, I want people that want 686 00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:26,559 to be here. This guy left what everybody considers a 687 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:29,440 better basketball job to come back through the school that 688 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,599 I understand the administration is different, but to come back 689 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,920 to his school that let him go a few years ago, 690 00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:37,200 to take essentially less money because he loves being here 691 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,599 at LSU and bad reage. And like they don't show 692 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,759 it on the press conference that you're gonna watch on 693 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,279 YouTube erning news channel. But as soon as he walked 694 00:33:45,319 --> 00:33:46,960 off the stage, the first thing he did, he ran 695 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,279 over to the student section, jumped up in there, shook 696 00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:51,759 their hands like he used to do every single home 697 00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:53,640 win when he was here the first time. Like the 698 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,079 guy forgot nothing. It's it's basically like he never left. 699 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,759 It's awesome, Which is. 700 00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:06,319 Speaker 4: Like this never happens, right, second chances in athletics, at 701 00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:09,760 least coaching never never really happens, at least that I 702 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,800 that I can ever remember. Maybe a coach leaves on 703 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,360 his own will and comes back later, but never from 704 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,519 a getting fired situation. And you just said it like 705 00:34:18,559 --> 00:34:20,559 they gotta they got a divorce, but now they come back. 706 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,280 It wouldn't like a divorce. Someone split them up, right, Yeah, 707 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,239 someone split them up. But now that person's out of 708 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,079 their lives, so they're back together. Yeah, found their way 709 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,239 back together. Now, there's a lot of money involved in 710 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,159 a lot of business situations. But when you look at 711 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,480 this press conference and not a comparative look, but if 712 00:34:39,519 --> 00:34:41,039 you look at them side by side and you think 713 00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:44,440 back to like Lane Kiffin's press conference, both of those, 714 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,079 you could feel the reverence in both of those coaches 715 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,079 voices for the excitement to be here at LSU. And 716 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,840 everybody's heard coach speak. Everybody's heard that coach that even 717 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,480 even like good speak, and you can tell when there 718 00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:06,119 is scripted things to say to make them sound better 719 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,480 or make them sound like they're more affectionate or have 720 00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:11,920 more love towards something like you. Every I think everybody 721 00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:15,119 listening has heard and be like, Okay, well that's yeah, 722 00:35:15,159 --> 00:35:17,719 that sounds good, but that's fake or that sounds good 723 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,400 but whatever I believe in Well Wade's press conference and 724 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,800 even Lan it's like you could feel, well, you could 725 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,880 feel the genuine like how genuine both of those humans 726 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,320 are to be here. And I'm only speaking of those 727 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,159 two because they're the two most recent ones, right, I know, 728 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,719 we got great coaches on a lot of different sports. 729 00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:39,440 I'm just isolating those two because it's the most recent 730 00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:42,800 one and it's the loudest ones that have kind of, 731 00:35:43,199 --> 00:35:46,920 you know, put LSU in the crossairs of most national 732 00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:51,760 media members and national sports fans, which is fine, awesome. 733 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 7: You asked the question last week to Jay Johnson, if 734 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,440 you remember, I mean this was right after the Wade 735 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,960 news broke. He said, Hey, what's it like workan versus 736 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,079 cool that you know's going to invest in every single sport? 737 00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:04,480 And Jay said, twenty year old me would have said 738 00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:06,280 my dream job was at Arizona and I had it. 739 00:36:06,599 --> 00:36:08,119 He said, the only job I would have left for 740 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,800 was LSU. I mean, even a Jay Johnson who's not 741 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,679 as loud, not as you know out there on social media, 742 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,559 the other two guys understands that LSU's a little bit different, right, 743 00:36:18,639 --> 00:36:20,480 And like I thought that was a great quote from 744 00:36:20,559 --> 00:36:21,119 him last week. 745 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 4: That was like when he said that, I was like, 746 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:29,320 holy hell. I was like, that's that's incredible. His dream 747 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,960 job was one thing and he left it to come 748 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,679 to LSU. Because now it's the noon dream job when 749 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,920 you figure when you found out it's available, and you 750 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,559 find out the resources, the passion behind the fan base 751 00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:44,599 and that's why we love LSU athletics. So we're fired 752 00:36:44,679 --> 00:36:47,039 up to have the general back. And look, the transfer 753 00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:50,000 portal window opens up April seventh, so he's going to 754 00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:54,199 be off and running. And just like early January when 755 00:36:54,199 --> 00:36:56,920 the portal opened for football, it'll be the first gradable test. 756 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,800 That was the first credible test for Lane Kiffin. Well, 757 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,760 we'll see in a week's time pretty much what's gonna happen. 758 00:37:03,039 --> 00:37:04,039 How will Wade's gonna do? 759 00:37:04,199 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 5: And look. 760 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 4: He like we said, he drew a line in the 761 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,199 sand and he put he put his own high expectations 762 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,760 on himself and didn't really give himself a long runway 763 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,719 to get there. He said, we're gonna do it immediately. 764 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,519 We expect to do it immediately. Well, he also said 765 00:37:21,559 --> 00:37:24,119 that they're going to be strategic certainly about the way 766 00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:28,400 they spend dollars, but in this first year there might 767 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,159 be a little sticker shock. They're going to spend some 768 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,840 money because you know, you have to. You're gonna have 769 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,119 to spend some money because you got to rebuild a roster. Taylor, 770 00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:40,559 you were talking about people that we could talk about today, 771 00:37:40,599 --> 00:37:45,079 about guys on the team that could retain, but certainly 772 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,000 there is going to be a lot of new faces 773 00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:52,519 on that roster and probably proved pretty shortly when the 774 00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:55,360 portal window is next week and they are they're going 775 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,239 to have the money to spend. Not really sure exactly 776 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,719 how much, because he did kind of deny the fact 777 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,039 that anything's been a certain amount's been guaranteed. 778 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 5: But we know that we'll Wade can go and raise 779 00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:07,119 some money and is going to be good at that. 780 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,320 So we will see. 781 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 4: But they said they will not be afraid in there. 782 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,599 For everybody else, there might be a little sticker shock, 783 00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:13,920 But I got news for you will. 784 00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:18,079 Speaker 2: I think we're over the stick ye, like we're After 785 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,719 you said that you were gonna paying Kevin ninety one 786 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,840 million dollars over seven years, I was like, all right. 787 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever, Yeah, Now that LSU's paid what two hundred 788 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,679 million in the last couple of months on two new 789 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,920 coaching hires, I don't think the sticker shock's going to 790 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,239 be there. 791 00:38:30,599 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 6: Something. 792 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 5: Did you say million bucks? 793 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,679 Speaker 6: Did you hear this part? I don't know. You might 794 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,440 like this. I know that whenever he said this, I 795 00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:41,880 was like, okay, this is like a okay. 796 00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 2: They asked about the staff and he was like, we'll 797 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,440 probably have something in place next week, but I'm not 798 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,119 going to have a whole bunch of staff. I'm not 799 00:38:49,159 --> 00:38:51,480 going to have a whole bunch of assistant coaches. At 800 00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:53,960 the end of the day, I'm the general manager and 801 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,360 the head coach. I'm going to be making most of 802 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,480 the decisions. I'm going to be doing the recruiting. And 803 00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:02,920 I was like, Okay, this is very different from like football, 804 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,639 where you you'll hire like a million people. 805 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,519 Speaker 6: Yeah, do do we have the missing piece? 806 00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 5: Was what the club? 807 00:39:09,519 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 7: I didn't know if we had it, No, he might. 808 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,119 Speaker 5: Yeah. 809 00:39:14,159 --> 00:39:15,679 Speaker 4: I did find that interesting where he said he was 810 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,599 going to be the head coach and the general manager. Now, 811 00:39:18,639 --> 00:39:21,199 I don't know if that's common practice or not in basketball. 812 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,760 Certainly wouldn't be in football. In basketball, of course, you 813 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,599 got less people to deal with le's players, so I 814 00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:32,920 guess it's easier to do it there. But I don't 815 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,239 know what the standard operating procedure is in basketball. I 816 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,559 would assume since he made mention of that, that it's 817 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,679 not common practice for the head coach to be the GM. 818 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 6: Well, I guess there's other places that do have one, 819 00:39:46,119 --> 00:39:47,320 but here I do have the quotes. 820 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 3: We're not going to have the biggest staff in the world. 821 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,639 I don't want to have I want to have one 822 00:39:50,679 --> 00:39:53,480 hundred people run around and walking on top of each other. 823 00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:56,960 But you know, we're going to have our shell recruiting 824 00:39:57,039 --> 00:39:59,480 staff in place here in the next you know, hopefully 825 00:39:59,519 --> 00:40:01,239 by the first to next week. You know, I would 826 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,320 think we'll have two to three assistants and then we're 827 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,280 gonna leave a couple of spots open and and and 828 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,719 work through that as we as we move forward. But 829 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,480 we'll have we'll have two or three folks in here. 830 00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:12,440 We'll run a tight recruiting I'm not a guy. I've 831 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,880 done this at other places, Like I'm the in college. 832 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,360 It's a little different in the NBA, Like I'm the 833 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,760 head coach and the general manager. Like there's no like 834 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,000 you don't have to have all this other stuff. Like 835 00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:23,519 the decisions on the roster are ultimately gonna come down 836 00:40:23,559 --> 00:40:26,039 to me. Now get input from everybody else, but it's 837 00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:26,679 gonna be beat. 838 00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 6: I mean one hundred he said, We're not gonna have 839 00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:34,039 one hundred people on staff. Seventy six is pretty cool. 840 00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 5: There as already a riff in between the Elise coach. 841 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,119 Did he just take a shot at link. 842 00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 6: He might have. Wow, we're starting the beef here. He 843 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:41,519 needs Martin. 844 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,039 Speaker 2: Also, uh, somebody put out it was Glenn Gilbot. He 845 00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:52,400 put out a report yesterday that he's that way is 846 00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:56,320 set to hire Johnny Jones and Rick Stanberry off from 847 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,440 the Mississippi State ex Mississippi State coach. But then I 848 00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:01,840 read the r and in the article he was like, 849 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,159 he said that he asked Will Wade about it, and 850 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,119 that Will said it wasn't completely accurate. So I'm like, okay, 851 00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:11,920 are we just not complete either not completely false, but 852 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,400 also not completely accurate. 853 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,119 Speaker 6: But he's also reporting it like it is. 854 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,639 Speaker 5: All right, it's somewhat accurate. Somewhat accurate. 855 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,679 Speaker 7: Oh our guy from McNeice, the equipment manager, he was there, Yeah, 856 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:28,000 a meir who carried the boombox gear front in mcne scared.
