Speaker 8: I know you remember.
Speaker 2: Your mouth, Okay, all right?
Speaker 7: Uh, I bought this for we have every year in
training camp we would dress up for in Green Bay.
It was before the last preseason game. They would have
this deal where all these stockholders and boosters they would
pay my need to come sit at the table at
Lambeau and a player. They do like these player announcements
where you go one player would sit at a table
with a bunch of pain like guests, and the head coach.
Speaker 6: Would talk, Mark Murphy would talk. They was just like
a kickoff like lunch and brunch.
Speaker 7: And so you were supposed to wear suits and ties
and dressed nice and be respectable football player. Well, we
would always just dress up in costumes and do it.
And so this was when we did it. Got some
headlines back in the day when we were dressed up
in all denhim. I think there's a picture, Taylor. I
would have looked for it. There's a me and Aaron.
And have you.
Speaker 2: Ever seen this, y'all? It's it's literally all the denim.
Speaker 6: You can imagine it is JT and I even at
the denim Fedora, I believe no.
Speaker 7: I had another Dinna paper boy hat. Aaron had a
somebody in the picture. Yeah, uh huh. It was great. So, yeah,
that's what I got.
Speaker 6: So I actually, I don't, honestly do not think I've
put this on since that day.
Speaker 2: I'm amazed you still have it.
Speaker 7: So I cleaned out like I did a big purge
of my closet like two or three years ago. You
got to do that, like you know every decade or so.
Speaker 8: Stop it.
Speaker 7: Oh there, it is so many layers, so many layers.
Speaker 8: This is incredible, y'all.
Speaker 4: Walk in all dinim. The guy behind y'all like full shoes,
ready to go.
Speaker 2: Tell y'all know.
Speaker 7: It was usually like the the quarterback room and a
couple of the running backs like John kun Corey, Like
there was like four or five of us, everyone dressed
up real nice and then us.
Speaker 2: Did y'all make mention of it? Or is it just
like what was going on? No?
Speaker 7: He just showed up. Oh yeah, we just show up.
I do. It was actually in the pocket of this
when I pulled out this morning. Did you wear the hat?
Speaker 8: I love that hat.
Speaker 7: Every day I got to remind people. I mean all
the time I can remind people to hydrate.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought it was a bit too much that
huge box of my high in front of you.
Speaker 9: Do.
Speaker 7: It's actually like my eyes were like half open too,
So I wasn't thinking real fifty pack. Yeah it's a
fifty pack. Yeah, so yeah, there it is. That's what
that's my America.
Speaker 4: This is a bad boy. Came from old Navy guys
about special and I think.
Speaker 2: It's what you were a church on Sunday, right it is?
Speaker 4: Ye where there's I got this actually a couple of
years ago from my rehearsal dinner. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 7: I've had it four years.
Speaker 4: I think I've won it four times. Like it's just
you break it out. On fourth of July, I had
to look for it surprisingly like folded up neatly. Old Navy,
I apparently care for this thing.
Speaker 8: That best Fourth of July class.
Speaker 6: I mean all the way back, they've always had it
Fourth of July. Yeah, they usually have like a T
shirt ready to go. If you don't have anything, you
stop by Old Navy. You grab the shirt. Yeah, the
American flag shirt unless you're laundr.
Speaker 7: Launder could have stop. Some are saying it's America.
Speaker 8: Saying I hate America.
Speaker 2: It's true, man.
Speaker 7: Well clip that the laundra of the communists.
Speaker 2: They clipped it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, clip that on yourself.

ensemble that.
Speaker 8: That you're wearing in that picture. You got it Burlington,
sure did. That's insane.
Speaker 7: It's a coat factory.
Speaker 8: I guess the Burlington's up there are way better than
the ones here.
Speaker 7: Are you saying that's good clothes? I mean, I mean
this is.
Speaker 4: Your hat makes sense for denim? Where the hell do
you get a denim for no I actually bought that
for him.
Speaker 7: Was there too? Perfect?
Speaker 4: They got everything, apparently.
Speaker 6: I'm so excited, and you're not gonna They've got a
denim for.
Speaker 8: Dora in a polo die and you're not a great
steal Like, aren't they lower prices?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're giving this away. It's basically free.
Speaker 8: That outfit was probably and then.
Speaker 4: I got paid thirty bucks to take it.
Speaker 6: I say, when he walked out, they started walking talking
back and forth. Somebody actually bought the Fedora and the
paper boy hat.
Speaker 2: The mission accomplished.
Speaker 7: There was actually like balloons and confetti that dropped from
the ceiling when the credit card is accepted.
Speaker 4: We got another one. We got another one.
Speaker 2: Gosh, that's a look.
Speaker 7: It was a choice.
Speaker 2: So that was every year y'all did something like that.
Speaker 7: Oh look, hey check, Well I'll say great, but yeah,
it's like me walking down here and like a respectable
like Green Bay lady who probably paid a decent amount
of money to sit at a table, walking me down
on an aisle to like my table. At that point,
me just looking like an idiot. I mean, me just
looking awesome.
Speaker 8: I like the outfit.
Speaker 6: I actually look out again, I was just in Green Bay.
I don't think you stick out that bad.
Speaker 7: Okay, fair, it's a fair.
Speaker 8: Up there.
Speaker 6: Yea, all look very midwestern. There was another year where
Aaron dressed up as Ben Stiller from Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 2: To this event.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and strangely looked exactly like him.
Speaker 2: Okay, what what did? Is it always a theme?
Speaker 7: I wasn't I think that was one of the years.
I wasn't there.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was.
Speaker 7: It's always a different theme. Yeah, we did like cow
It started out like real simple, yeah, like country like Cowboy. Right,
so it's like you can kind of still wear a suit,
but you put like maybe a bolot on, cut a
little food man chew something like that. Then as time
went on, as time went on, it just got a
little bit more.
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 6: God the you know, you can't see it if you're
just listening in the car, But that is good. Aaron
Rodgers has been Stiller. Well, now your back's gonna hurt?
Speaker 7: Could landscaping dude?
Speaker 2: Okay? Keying? Whoa? Well?
Speaker 6: Jet are we gonna see if we can throughout the show,
if we can find more pictures of Flynn and all
these other costumes.
Speaker 7: So anyway, Happy Birthday America. If America, those amazing men
back in seventeen seventy six, didn't sign that beautiful piece
of paper, who knows what would be? We'd probably be
collin soccer football. We wouldn't have American football. Actually, think
about it. The English actually came up with the term soccer.
There we go, so so they don't even like their
own creations.
Speaker 2: A bunch of idiots.
Speaker 8: It wasn't actually signed until August.
Speaker 7: It was declared.
Speaker 6: Though it was declared, it was the clause just trying
to lay her dressing up for the Actually.
Speaker 7: You don't have that, you don't get the opportunity to
speak about it. I guess what if John Hancock and
the Boys didn't do it, would we have American football?
Would we have baseball? America would probably have stopped at
the Mississippi River. Who knows, who knows what would have happened?
Thank God, and we're all you know, thank God.
Speaker 2: No Gibbs.
Speaker 6: I guess we would technically still be here. We're a
little east of the said Mississippi yep.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe, but what we call ourselves, I don't know.
Speaker 7: Maybe we'd we'd still just be thirteen colonies. We don't
have to worry about it though, because there could kick
that ass.
Speaker 8: Hell y'all, hell y'all.
Speaker 2: That they did.
Speaker 6: So we're able to be here why celebrating America fourth
July tomorrow. We won't be here though, over here today,
and we'll get this thing started when we come back on.

got more to worry about than Yeah, they'll just like
look up in the sky and that rule is being
broken by everybody.
Speaker 2: Why is that a rule though, Probably because you know
the fires and stuff.
Speaker 6: Well yeah, but it's not like we're in a place
that's dry, Like it's literally so human here.
Speaker 2: When you walk out, you feel like your head's in
an oven.

the fire Marshal just urges safe fireworks use because.
Speaker 6: We used to have to drive to Saint Gabriel to
get our fireworks and then come back into EBR.

potato salad, and banana pudding.
Speaker 4: Come, I gotta go burger and dog wow. But I
think I'm gonna go apple pie. That's a pretty American
dessert that'll prey be my dessert.
Speaker 6: I said banana pudding yesterday on off campus, and my

crush a lot of the sides like. I'm more of
a like a hot side kind of guy. Not like
baked beans. What we don't touch beans? You don't like
baked beans. Beans are objectively trash. I don't like any
type of bean. Don't white beans. I don't want to
see it. I don't want to touch it. I don't
even want to hear the word.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't care if they're refried, I don't care if

magical fruit. So on my plate, no beans.
Speaker 2: You just said ribs and then no beans, like are
you just eating ribs?
Speaker 7: I got ribs, like we talked. I like the potato
salad made with more of a mustard bass. I mean
if all like the cold kind of sides that you
can get for the Fourth of July, that would probably
be that'd probably be the top. Then I'm going with homemade.

Speaker 7: And then I will I'm gonna go with homemade vanilla
ice cream in the little uh churn churned up ice cream,

to talk about quarterback.
Speaker 6: So this is this is.
Speaker 7: We're talking from Harry Potter to like, uh, power football,
lead blocking x's and o's. Now we can actually talk
real football.
Speaker 3: Oh I missed the full back position. I do miss
I do?
Speaker 8: I listen.
Speaker 3: The only time I ever did not like it when
I tried to throw a back shoulder stage did my
full back. I was like, it was like a busted play.
I'm rolling out and trying to throw a back shoulder
in the end zone and he's like kind of scrambling,
he like trips over himself and turned into an interception
and it actually wasn't in their sception. But Bubbo was
so mad that I tried to throw a back shoulder
to a full back that he refused to challenge the
play to send me a message.
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, Yeah, who was the I'm trying to think
he's the fullback, but Sunderland was.
Speaker 2: He was he there when you were there?
Speaker 3: It was before me. This is a shot out Merritt Hall.
You know it was not his final settlement.
Speaker 7: But yeah, well in your defense, Aaron, like you can
usually for fullbacks mostly you can throw a back shoulder,
front shoulder, left shoulder, right shoulder. Usually they don't catch it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so you you guy have to put it
on a shoulder though, I was like you told me
for the full back, you just have to keep it
between the shoulder pads. I did that and he tripped.
Speaker 2: So I had forty catches my junior or before you
were the quarterback pal. Turns out it was you only
had like fifteen with your Jay Russ feeding me the rot.
Speaker 7: All right, You didn't love those perfect passes.
Speaker 3: Because is that because that's all Jay Russ could throw.
Speaker 2: Well, he threw every one the same speed.
Speaker 8: That's true.
Speaker 7: The ball caught you, very true.
Speaker 6: Before we get to the quarterback nonsense, very important question.
If you're making your plate tomorrow for the fourth of July,
you get three things on there.
Speaker 2: What are those three things? And why?
Speaker 3: Ooh, I feel like you gotta go with a hot
dog just because it's fourth of July. So the hot
dog is gonna be on there. I would like a
nice rack of ribs. Sounds pretty juicy to me, all right,
and then corn.
Speaker 7: On the cob.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, first corn on the cob.
Speaker 3: By the day, the first corn on the cob for
Fourth of July.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean so I went hot dog, potato salad,
banana pudding.
Speaker 3: Okay, see, I just get to dessert. That's something me.
Speaker 2: Are you still trying?
Speaker 6: Are you still like the lean and mean trying to
run five k's? Are you ran like a marathon or something?
Speaker 3: Well, you ran a marathon. It We actually just signed
up for our ticket marathon in March.
Speaker 7: So it's gonna give you a pass for doing one,
but like, do it too. That's on you, buddy.
Speaker 3: I know, I think I think it's one a year,
one a year right now, So I'm yeah, get in there,
skinny shapes. I can eat as much as I want
tomorrow fair enough.
Speaker 6: Hey, are you gonna obviously I know you you live there,
but are you with us? Uh during media days at all?
Like do we get a chance to hang out?
Speaker 2: See Air Murray.
Speaker 3: It's all for our boy, Matt. If mass wants me there,
since I live right down the street, I'll be there.
But now I think one way or the other, I'll
I'll be meandering around the convention Center in Atlanta fresh
media days just you know, as you guys know, it's
like the somewhat unofficial kickoffs of the football season. So
it's a lot of a lot of likeliness, a lot
of excitement. You know, maybe we'll hear about a nine
game SEC schedule at some point during it. I don't know,
seems like always some massive news does drop at some
point during SEC media days. So I mean, it's crazy
to think that we're, you know, two weeks away from
that and then you know, practice for these guys starts
probably the end of the month for most teams. I
would think beginning of August, so you know, football right
around the corner. Thank goodness, Aaron, the.
Speaker 7: I've been We've been talking about this a little bit
Vegas preseason odds to win the Heisman. Arch Manning's top
in that list and plus seven hundred. So in this
in the SEC world, you we have we're kind of
all over the place with quarterbacks. We've got a lot
of talent, top heavy, but is this uh arch man
We got a lot of hype versus someone like Garrett.
We got Lenora, Sarah Leonora sellers that are more of
got the experience. So give us your thoughts on just
the top of the top of the pack on the
SEC quarterbacks right now.
Speaker 2: What you think about these these vegasides.
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny. I mean, hester last time you and
I or you brought me on the show is like
a month and a half ago. Is kind of what
I made those comments about Art and then our boy.
I guess I can't say our boy. But you know,
the Gator hater over here us being a Gator haters,
the old ball coach says as he ripped off my
quote verbatim, I mean, like word for word. So I've
been having to deal with Texas fans for for you know,
six weeks after my comments. I'm open that he's having
to deal with the Longhorn fans as well. But you know,
I continue to try to tell people because I keep
getting hit like, oh, you're an Arch hater. You're an Arch.
I'm not an Arch hater. Like I think Arch is
a talented quarterback. I'm going to root for him. I
hope he has a great season, except when he comes
to Athens to play my dogs. Other than that, I
hope he goes out there and kicks butt. But you know,
I need to see it. I need I need a
bigger sample size. I need I need a game against
Ohio state. I need to see him perform against an
sec defense in the elite ash because last year he
did not do that in an elite fashion against you know,
good defenses. He looks good and makes some really impressive throws,
had some really you know impressive runs where you get
to show, you know, show off those wheels, but it
wasn't against top tier defenses and talent at a consistent rate. So,
you know, does he have the opportunity now that he
is the guy with Steve Sarkis and now I believe
is one of the top two or three play callers
in America, you know, with probably a ton of talent
around him. Yeah, he has a chance to have a
spectActor season. But I guess I'm just in a in
a holding pattern for at least half the season before
I start crowning him a true Heisman contender and the
guy that has opportunity to be there more picked the
NFL draft. I love I love your guy. I love
nuss Meyer. I saw a lot of good stuff. I
know down the stretch wasn't wasn't perfect, But you're talking
about a guy that has played a lot of football.
You know, whether it was in Dak of duties behind Jayden.
You know, he's been in this, you know, been been
around there. I'm sure there's a great lead in the
locker room. I'm sure you guys can attest to that
more than I can. But as a ton of talent
around him, I think make all the throws that you want.
So I'm I know you guys, I'm not trying to
you know, blow smoke up the LSU fans, butts or
anything right now, but you know, I'm very bullish on
LSU this year just in general between you know, Garrett
and what that offense is going to be. Like I
anticipate with Baker in the second season, the defense continues
to move in the right direction, and I think LSU
is kind of one of my dark horses to be
a playoff contender and and continue to move in the
right direction under Brian Kelly. What would talk about other quarterbacks,
you know, Lenoris would be great. I think that the
biggest hinderance for Leonoris and South Carolina is going to
be the skill position. You know, that was their big
issue last year. They had no talent around him besides
Rocket at running back and then Trey It at the
tight end position. So can the receivers take that step
forward to help him, because you know, if not, he's
gonna have to be like Cam Newton, and that's what
he was last year. Once he started getting into his groove,
it was like Cam Newton run the football, having to
make all the plays. So it would be nice to
see some pressure taken off. His is played a little
bit at South Carolina. But the guy that I'm most
excited about is DJ Lagway at Florida. I think DJ
is the most gifted quarterback in America. I think he's
got the size. I think he's got the brain. I
think he's got the athleticism. I think he's got the
arm strength. He checks off every single box that you want.
So I think DJ this year, heading into the season,
you know he's got He's got to clean up with
some of the turnovers, and a lot of that was
some you know, rookie freshman mistakes. But I think overall,
you're talking about a very talented young man, uh and
then an offense that I really like there and as
an opportunity to have a massive second season.
Speaker 6: So Aaron Like, the thing that stands out to me
is we're talking LSU South Carolina Florida. We know that
they've got quarterbacks figured out. The thing that's going to
be different this year. Georgia, Texas, Alabama. You can even
throw Ole miss in Tennessee in there. Certainly Tennessee making
the College Football Playoff a year ago, we don't know
if they've got it figured out. And so like some
of those teams that are, you know, trying to get
to the level of Georgia and Alabama, they haven't figured
out a quarterback. But the teams that were used to
seeing at the top, like there's still question marks.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 6: Gunner Stockton did some nice things in the Sugar Bowl
and now he's going to have it be his team.
How do you feel about Georgia and Bama and what
their quarterback situations look like?
Speaker 3: You know, I think there's there's guys there that have
obviously been in the program for a while that know
the offense. So I think you you kind of rely
on that and and kind of both that an experience
and obviously some playing time both at Alabama and Georgia
for those quarterbacks, you know, time in the system. I
know Alabama maybe a little bit less because of the
new regime a year ago, but you know, they've still
been in it. Uh, you know, but for Gunner you
said it like going back and rooting back. And watched
all the tape from Gunner from a year ago from
you know, mop up duty, when when they were winning
when he came in too, you know, games against you know,
Texas in the second half to the the sugar and
I was really impressed with Gunner. You know, and we
know George had a ton of problems last year. The
running back position was not great. Uh, the receivers had
more drops than anyone else in the history of college
football team like and and the offensive line was very
inconsistent with with with just a lot of guys getting hurt.
So you know, you're hoping that you know, obviously he
has a lot of talent. He's got the arm strengths,
he's got the athleticism that you know, you get some
more support around him, which I think Kirby's you know,
done a really good job this office. He's have really
dive into the receiving position. You know, bring in the
five star receiver, a couple of four stars, You bring
in the kids from USC, you bring in Noah Thomas
from from A and m uh and really put an
emphasis like, hey, we have to be better on the outside.
We have to be finding ways to create exposed to play.
So you know, you hope that the drops are kind
of a one year thing. You hope the running back
position could be better. So I really think it'll be fine.
But I think the bigger point that you brought up
too is it's interesting like all the teams that you
would say is kind of like Tier two, you know,
the South Carolina to Florida. You know, they have and
I don't know if I would put LC necessarily in
tier two, which is why I'm very bullish on L
s u is because I kind of consider them more,
you know, kind of in that Tier one area. But
they had the quarterback this year, which makes me really
excited about them. But those Tier two teams have great
quarterback plays. I mean probably two, you know two three
of the best quarterbacks in the country are kind of
in that next tier in the SEC. You know, can
that elevate those guys to be you know, playoff contenders again?
And I and speaking of old Miss too, like I
love Austin Simmons at all, Miss. You know what he
did against Georgia last year in the rain, you know,
coming in when the quarterback got hurt and he came
in there and drove them down the down the field
for a touchdown like that, That to me changed the
whole trajectory of that football game. You know, Georgia could
have gone three and out or caused the turnover and
you know kind of maybe stolen momentum early on in
that football game instead of you got a backup quarterback
in March right down the field with some really impressive
throws to type, you know, to take control of that
that situation. So you know, I talked to i Ain't
last year in a couple of games. I had really
excited about what he can do. So, yeah, there's a
lot of question marks with some of the big boys
with the quarterback. You know, they're all a bunch of
four and five star guys like I said, that have
been there, so you hope that they're ready to go.
But yeah, the best quarterbacks in this league are kind
of once again.
Speaker 7: In that year too, and some of the I'm kind
of like a dark horse for me, and a lot
of people in the SEC don't really know much about him.
But John Mattier Oklahoma. Yeah, now, last year nearly thirty
two hundred yards passing, over eight hundred yards rushing, and
almost forty five total touchdowns produced last year. Are we
not talking enough about him?
Speaker 3: Well, my big thing was with Oklahoma's I thought they
had good quarterbacks last year, to be honest, and the
situation around those quarterbacks was just got awful. The receivers
being out. I mean what top six receivers were out.
The offensive line was brand new, those guys didn't play well.
Running back position was inconsistent. So like you know, listen,
unless you're Cam Newton and you can literally put the
team on your back, you need some support. You know,
you need some running back plays, You need some receivers
to create some explosive plays, and Oklahoma didn't have that. So,
you know, do I think materiers may be an upgrade
from what they had a year ago? You know, possibly,
But it's it's to me, it's less about the quarterbacks
for Oklahoma and it's more about the guy he's around him.
He needs some support. They have to be better at
offensive line, they have to be better at the skill position,
they have to be better at the running back position.
So you know, if those things are taken care of,
then I'm with you, Like you know, you go back
and just watch, just google or not go YouTube his
highlight film and it's unbelievable the place he's making. He's
got the arm, the athleticisms, flew the roof. So he's
a he's a He's a terrific college quarterback. He's an opportunity,
I think, to be a top three round NFL quarterback.
But he can't do that if he's on his back.
He can't do it. If guys can't get open. So
Oklahoma is I think, like I said, bigger fish to
fry and bigger things that they need you to figure
out this off season besides just the quarterback.
Speaker 2: All right, there is our.
Speaker 6: Guy, Aaron Murray, former UGA quarterback, ESP and serious XM.
Speaker 10: Aaron.
Speaker 6: We appreciate the time, sir, and hopefully we'll run into
you because we're making Flynn do the whole dog and
pony show at media days.
Speaker 7: Hey, real quick, what's the golf handicap?
Speaker 3: App the golf is? I want to say eight four
go single digits, So hey play if you if you
I don't know if hessons golf for if you are,
if you want to get a little rounded in Atlanta.
Let me know.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do that. I'd much rather do
that than you know, make the rounds. So let's go.
Speaker 3: We can speak out for a little bit.
Speaker 2: Perfect appreciate it, Aaron.
Speaker 3: See, boys have a great fourth you as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not golf.
Speaker 6: Come on, bro, come on, come ride, I can, I'll drive,
I'll drive on and just make fun of you all
the whole time.
Speaker 2: Eight four? What the hell does that mean? Eight point four?
What's that mean?
Speaker 7: Depending on the slope right of the course and the
layman serves it. Basically, you you're kind of averaging eight
point four shots above par every time you play. There's
a lot of different stipulations to that, but there you go.
Speaker 2: That's what you quarterbacks ask each other, you know, wes.
Fullbacks ask each other like how many times did you
bang your head against the wall last night? What your benching?
What you benson? That's what we ask each other.
