I hope everybody's having a great day. We're just sorry.
I'm very distracted. Emanuel Autos on the on the screen

running through my head, running through my head. Another thing.
Uh so, by the way, guys, girl Scout cookies cranking
up right now, meaning that everybody's all will be inundated
with competing parents trying to sell you their daughter's cookies.
What I don't care. What I care about here though,
is I want to know your's favorite girls co cookie.
Speaker 4: The Samoas.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, little about their name for a second, but
they're the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah, little what is it is that a nougat? What's
like the chewy? What's the chewy part of a samoa?
And I believe it's like chocolate and caramel and like
coconut and coconut. Yeah, of course it's my favorite as well. Yeah,
so bonus points to you for being right. Yeah, objectively correct.
That's very good.
Speaker 4: Those are the ones I'll be buying from Alice.
Speaker 2: Do you put them in the fridge or the freezer? No,
but now I'm going to very good, very good.
Speaker 3: I'm more of a fridge guy because the freezer can
get a bit like crack texture, like yeah, like crack.
Speaker 2: But like a crack. But yeah, when you put him
in the fridge, you get that wonderful kind of chewy.
Speaker 4: I do that with peanut M and M.
Speaker 2: So oh yeah wait.
Speaker 5: So I don't know if this is like Mandela effect
on myself or whatever, but they used to have I
don't think they have them anymore because I always look
for them.
Speaker 2: They don't anymore.
Speaker 5: Oh sorry, Caramel Delight sometimes, yeah, I think, but like
they had like a regular just cookie but then the
bottom had chocolate on it. They don't have those anymore.
M I'm not sure, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I have two. I have two kinds that I love.
Let's see if somebody else in this room could be correct,
like a lodger was Taylor, what's your favorite?
Speaker 6: I like the uh, just the peanut butter patty ones,
the chocolate. It's covered in chocolate all around tagalog? Right, No,
tagalongs are a little bit different.
Speaker 7: I don't know. Maybe they're taglelongs.
Speaker 3: Peanut butter patties are the ones that are covered okay, peanut,
but it's.
Speaker 8: The peanut butter that's literally covered in chocolate.
Speaker 2: Is that not? What's a tagalog?
Speaker 8: That might have been the name?
Speaker 2: Does a taglong have cookie, peanut butter and chalk? Are
you telling me it's just peanut butter?
Speaker 4: That is a tag along?
Speaker 2: Okaye? And congratulates tailor as well. You two are correct.
Look at that, guys, both of you all right about
what are good girls? Cookies? Jake? What about you? You
probably like a lemon cookie or something stupid?
Speaker 8: Why would why would? Why would you think?
Speaker 2: I just I can feel something off kilter bubbling in
your guts.
Speaker 3: To really make me angry. Anything peanut butter, okay, literally
anything because jocolate peanut butter is the greatest combination.
Speaker 2: Of the world.
Speaker 3: Yes, uh, and then look a little bit basic. I
love a thin minute, and I knew there's always a
thin mint person. There has to be my entire family.
Speaker 2: I'm made. I'm surrounded by thin mint normies. Not for me.
Speaker 4: Okay, I just looked it up.
Speaker 7: I wasn't.
Speaker 5: I wasn't gas lighting myself. They were called Thanks a Lot,
and they don't do them anymore though.
Speaker 2: Okay, so these were a cookie that doesn't exist.
Speaker 4: Were discontinued, Yeah, and they were one of my favorites too.
Speaker 2: Well, Thanks a Lot.
Speaker 5: Continued, It's not useless. I'm giving you the history of
girls Scout cookies.
Speaker 2: What do you mean your favorite president's about to get
back in office? What are you talking about?
Speaker 5: Discontinued back in twenty twenty though, Uh, favorite eyeliner gone.
Speaker 2: Really Yes, Oh it's brutal. I know I can't relate,
but imagine that's pretty brutal. It's always depressing when you
love something, true, it is always, and it's a sign
of getting older when you love something and you think, oh,
this is going to be around forever and then suddenly
it's just not And you can't get anymore. It's like
Agrax earth shade totally an old oil or not oil paint,
but an old wash. Was a washer who used kind
of deep in the shadows in your miniatures. And I
don't think they sell Agres heart shait anymore. I still
have some, thankfully, But you know, I've just never been
a mintkay.
Speaker 8: Jake, I don't know what I love min like.
Speaker 2: I know, that's what I'm saying. I don't like min
ice cream.
Speaker 8: Chocolate Jackson's favorites mint chocolate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's my whole family.
Speaker 3: Now. I love York peppermint patty. Oh no, maybe my
favorite love it. Damn, that's crazy. Taste buds are weird.
They are very weird.
Speaker 8: They are very weird. I agree with that, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So there you go, a laundry Taylor have good opinions.
Jake is a bad one. You know. We can't always win, guys.
Speaker 8: But peanut butter patties were my favorite.
Speaker 2: That's true. That is true. So you have a mixture
of a pit you have. You have a little bit
of good and bad.
Speaker 8: And my secondary was thin mint, which you didn't like
that answer?
Speaker 3: No, no, But but again, what's your first one. I go,
I do, go, I what what is that?
Speaker 2: What it is like?
Speaker 8: I could see it?
Speaker 2: But what that it looks It's got like a donut shape?
Speaker 8: Right, yeah, no, I know what it looks like. I
don't know chocolate.
Speaker 6: I think it would boasted coconut and like a chocolate drizzle.
Speaker 2: But what actual core of it? It's like a nougat.
I feel like it's got like a chewy soft texture
like when you bite into like a Snickers, like you
know the or is it the core of Snickers? A nugat?
I don't know what a nugga is. The more I
say the word, the more offensive. It kind of feels
like it's just like, I don't know, I don't know
what a nugat is, Okay, I just think that's maybe
what a what a samoa is made of?
Speaker 5: What is a samoa made of?
Speaker 2: I mean, I will say this so I'll eat a
thin meant in the pitch, there's not gonna eat it.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 7: They remind me.
Speaker 6: They remind me of like fancy fudge stripe cookies, you know,
the little Keybler fudge stripe cookies.
Speaker 2: What were you saying, Landra, they're short bread cookies Okay,
so short bread short.
Speaker 5: Bread, caramel toasted coconut and chocolate.
Speaker 2: Bread made for you.
Speaker 8: Is short bread?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 4: I actually really liked this question.
Speaker 2: Oh how about Clyde called you toll yesterday?
Speaker 7: I know, I loved it, dude.
Speaker 2: I was like, I was around, I was like the
team here. Yeah, there was a picture.
Speaker 3: So Jock took a picture with me, Clyde and Kevin
Falk and I was by far the tallest person in
the picture picture.
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, all right, it wears.
Speaker 8: Pretty clean up here.
Speaker 2: And Clyde literally referenced it when he took to the
podium because he did just the mic down talking about
how tall Jake was. I was like, wow, look at that, dude.
Speaker 8: Okay, just letting y'all know.
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, I wanted to, like so badly race all
three of y'all just as like a video.
Speaker 4: Kevin.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I wanted to like race all y'all knowing
I was going to lose, But y'all all had like Jean,
it would not I.
Speaker 3: Would say that would have gone Clyde, me, keV and me. Yeah,
been keV.
Speaker 2: That's take.
Speaker 4: I feel like I could maybe beat Kevin Falk.
Speaker 7: No, absolutely not what.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the lap shut off your mic for the
rest of this segment. Yeah, get the hell out.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, so I think I did run a
faster forty than Clyde. By the way, let's get that
out there at the combine.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying place in the NFL. He'll place in
the NFL.
Speaker 8: Uh, yeah, he would beat me.
Speaker 2: Also, K, I mean, yeah, you're gonna ever get someone
my age think that anybody's gonna beat K. I'm getting
to Clyde because he's a current NFL player.
Speaker 9: But but like.
Speaker 8: You know, sooner than Kevin did. Clyde certainly plays sooner
than I know.
Speaker 2: I know, looks good.
Speaker 6: No, it makes sense, like to Jake's to Jake's like
betting strategy of order of finish youngest to oldest. Uh yeah,
him than Kevin. I mean it makes sense. I think
I think I think Jake and Kevin would be a
very good ring. That's the match to where we ran
the same exact forty at the combound. Really, that's that's okay,
your youth, let me give you an advantage. Then let
me get something off my chest a little bit here.
Speaker 2: Okay, Slow white guy wanted to try to gasolate us
Insaney's fast?
Speaker 8: Why did why did I get tagged that?
Speaker 2: What slow? Like? Yeah, louis because I ran faster.
Speaker 6: Than I ran faster than Clyde somebody you're talking about,
like like when you were when you were playing, why
did you get labeled just in Jeni?
Speaker 3: No, I'm not really playing. I mean I didn't really
hear it as much playing. It's more from T Bob
post playing. But the same forty as Kevin fought and
faster than Clyde.
Speaker 8: Why do we think that is?
Speaker 2: Is it a lateral quickness thing?
Speaker 8: No, because I had the second fastest three cone drew
out the combat. Huh.
Speaker 7: I know, I know exactly what it is.
Speaker 8: Not only are Chris Johnson not only well, because you're taller.
Speaker 2: So your legs aren't maybe this fast. Not only yeah,
not only are you white.
Speaker 6: You started at full back at LSU, right, and you
converted to running back. Yeah, so I guess everybody had
to fall back in their mind, and then you went
back to fullback in the NFL. I mean, that's just
a guess. It's gonna be it.
Speaker 7: It is fair.
Speaker 8: It is fair. Probably does change the math a little bit.
Speaker 2: Also, Kevin falk Is one of the most dynamic I
know playmakers in L s U and NFL history potentially,
But that doesn't change the time. That does not change
the times. This is true. That's true.
Speaker 7: Your style of play too, maybe like the.
Speaker 2: Really outran the Faulk and Clyde's forty two were the same.
Speaker 8: Me and keV are the same. It wasn't four or five? Nine?
Speaker 2: Damn okay, work out. Good on you breaking the four
six period, you know, because you can always claim four
or five now kind of no, true, you can't.
Speaker 7: We did it in high school all the time.
Speaker 3: Five. You may to tell you a secret about the
combine too, that a lot of people don't know, and
they think like what they see on the NFL network
and that's like official and that's what everybody goes with.
That is completely false. Every team has one guy that
they trust.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's so weird to me. They don't care what
the NFL network said.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 3: They have a guy that they trust more than anybody
with their clock, and they put him at the finish
line on the forty yard line and you'll see him
go all the way up the stands and each team
goes off that clock.
Speaker 2: So you can.
Speaker 5: Ye was.
Speaker 3: I was like a four five six with the Seahawks.
I was like seven with the Chargers, but like with
I think it was the Eagles, I was like a
four six two they had so so.
Speaker 2: Everybody's who's eating a canoli?
Speaker 8: And that's and that's what they go.
Speaker 2: So. Uh yeah, So Ricky Compton was there yesterday and
he said he heard me laugh when Clyde said the
toll thing.
Speaker 8: Oh you laughed like out loud.
Speaker 2: Yeah I did too. Yeah, I laughed and.
Speaker 4: Said, shout out to my wife, I have to or something.
Speaker 2: You had a very good MC joke.
Speaker 3: He got it back, so Clyde to shut out my
wife say that I'm newlywed, and Jake told him, look,
you did so good, but you didn't have to add
that I have to you just you just say shout
out in wonder life and you let sleeping gone.
Speaker 8: Hell because I was sitting there like dang.
Speaker 3: Now everybody didn't shout out their wives gonna you know,
they're gonna catch some side eye here.
Speaker 8: But then he ruined it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he ruined it.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 8: The moral of the story is, though a Landra, yeah,
you would not be good talking.
Speaker 4: Around no hell no, all three of y'all, even Clyde.
Speaker 2: Damn. Oh, okay, let's get you a couple of one
hundred percent.
Speaker 4: I'm beating Tea Bob the race.
Speaker 7: I'm pickings got a lot longer.
Speaker 2: We can go race, We can go race right whatever.
Speaker 3: Now you gotta remember, uh now you want to say whatever,
fut distance me?
Speaker 2: Sure, but we dwarfs are natural sprinters.
Speaker 4: I have long legs too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but six four.
Speaker 2: I don't care about the length of my stride. It's
a power thing when it comes to a sprint.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, and I got a hell of power in
my life.
Speaker 2: Okay, good lot, trace, Trace, I will race. That's fine.
I'm I'm confident.
Speaker 8: Frank wants to know is this a sports show or
what not?
Speaker 3: Or what or what?
Speaker 7: We're talking three actually.
Speaker 8: Two former and one current NFL player. That's sports?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like what else would that be?
Speaker 3: Hey, Frank, about to really trigger you because rest in
peace to David Lynch. We got a couple of rits
to get to.
Speaker 2: But David Lynch passing yesterday, it's led to the Internet
being inundated with great David Lynch content. You'll be at
TV shows, movies, whatever.
Speaker 3: It's It's made me really want to do a full
Twin Peaks rewatch because back fresh out of college, I
watched all of Twin Peaks, but I never finish it.
In then, I never watched the new season when they
released it, and I remember absolutely loving it at the time.
I'm just been intimidated by the lyft because it is
from an era of old TV where you had to
have like twenty whatever.
Speaker 2: Episodes in a season, So there's some filler there. But
has anybody you ever seen Twin Peaks? Yeah? Yeah, it's great, right.
It's one of the most off kilter, wonderfully unique creator
native shows that's ever been made. In shout out to David.
Speaker 5: David Lynch is like a mastermind of uh psychological thrillers.
Speaker 7: He is a.
Speaker 2: The best thing that I can say about David Lynch
is he was unique to the point where people use
his name as an adjective when something's a bit off
the wall, are very creative. It's Lynchian, a bit off kilter,
and that is to be that unique in a business
like Hollywood where there's so much financial pressure to conform
and to just reboot and remake lost. We lost a
good one, Taylor, do you have an anti David Lynch.
Speaker 6: Take what's no, I don't have anything anti David Lynch.
I have no idea who this person is. When y'all
mentioned it and I googled him, I googled him, and
I still don't know. I mean, I don't know how
I've I've seen. That's the only movie I've ever seen,
So that's the only one I've seen. I just I
didn't know who this was.
Speaker 2: Very good filmmaker, Very good filmmaker. Also recipes to Bob
Buker so good. Uh, absolutely one.
Speaker 8: Hit, one guard, darn hit. That's you know, you know
what I like?
Speaker 2: You know what I like as someone who has a
very salty mouth in everyday life and look a lot
of times is engaging in crass words. Is that is
that evidence of low intelligence lack of class? I don't know.
I'm not I'm not sure, but I do you know
this all reports is that Uker was one dirty talking son.
Speaker 3: Of a I in Major League alone, I saw, I
saw a great seven minute clip of Norm McDonald already
laying on Howard Stern telling Uker stories.
Speaker 2: And they, I mean, like like they said, he's like
that character, but even dirtier and crazier. Yeah, every other
word was the F word. Just a lot of stuff
that would get him canceled. And one of the funniest
parts of the stories that I saw is Langa McDonald's
are saying that he was such a pro ad he'd
been doing it so long. They have his cough button.
He'd be in like the middle of a call, hit
the cough button, make a really dirty joke, and then
continue the call, like in between saying the balls he
he's heading the first and then I already say, like
in between that he'd get me a shot. Also shout
out to Bob Uger that you could be that successful,
that respected and still be a little a little dirty.
Just have a salty mountain.
Speaker 6: One of my favorite characters in any movie ever, honestly,
like Harry Doyle was phenomenal.
Speaker 7: Moves were quoting it yesterday. It's so funny.
Speaker 3: I don't get starstruck very often, but we did an
autograph signing in Virginia one time, and it was actually
one that I had no business being at, but he
was there and I was like, man, I am going
to go say hello to this man. I mean, he
has made me laugh too hard and too many times, Bob,
you get an autograph signing. Oh yeah, he played he
played No no no. I mean, of course if people
want his autograph. I'm just surprised that he took the
time out to like do an autograph. So there's a
huge show in that area, in the Virginia, Maryland kind
of area where it like I said, I honestly I
had no business being there, but it was right off
after the National Championship.
Speaker 8: I had just been drafted, and so.
Speaker 3: Like I snuck my weaseled my way into it, and
I had really good agent, but it was literally like
whoever you can imagine tea that was big in sports,
they were there.
Speaker 2: Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, if if you crews there,
that makes sense. Yeah. So rest in peace to a
couple of legends. Man, I mean, look at my wife
to rewatch twin Peaks. To me, you did one episode
a day for like maybe four days a week. How
long would that take? They probably take a long time.
Speaker 7: One episode a day, four days? How long are the episode?
Speaker 8: Twin Peaks a lot of episodes.
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's the era of TV where, yeah,
you're talking about twenty two to twenty six episodes in
a season because you have those big orders you gotta fill.
Now there may only be what three seasons, any seasons
two or three? I'm not sure. I know they redid
it as well well, so they didn't redo it. They
at the end of the first one they have all
that weird red room stuff they talk about like seventeen
years later. So I'm going to be back here and
then they literally did that like seventeen years later. But
I never, I never, I never. I never watched the
new one, and now it's like to appreciate the new one,
I need to go back and watch the old one.
Speaker 4: So it is three seasons?
Speaker 2: How many episodes in each?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 2: Right now, I don't tell me now talk scilling crew.
It was awesome. We'll recommend all right when we get
back here. On off the bench, Joel Klatt was proposing
a new layout for college football that has some commonalities
with things we've talked about. Some exciting twists though that
I want to gauge all on and see if y'all
are into it or not. More OTV coming up next

Speaker 4: Back to sports talk.
Speaker 9: Maybe off the bench, That dog is too hot hut
and I've got kiddy.
Speaker 2: Oh Internet, LSU Internet specifically, it's time to get angry
Chip Patterson. Who's Jim Patterson?
Speaker 3: I think Chip works for with Bud Elliott and Danny
Kanal that podcast cover three.
Speaker 2: All right, well, Chip has released his top ten champions
of the fourteen playoff era. I saw Chip last week
and twenty nineteen LSU is number two to twenty twenty
Alabama the old Mickey Mouse. Somewhere out there, somewhere out there,
Preston guy is crafting just a thesis. He's he is
in his lab like Tony Stark and Iron Man, getting
the repulsors ready to go. Chip, you don't even know
what you just invited from Preston By ranking twenty twenty
Alabama over twenty nineteen LSU, you are ft. You're end
up just like old boy with the clipboard tweet from Oregon.
Good luck, Chip, good knot.
Speaker 3: Chip's such a good guy too, Chip. If you were
asked for my advice, I would have helped you out
this endeavor.
Speaker 6: I thought I thought you were gonna say uh when
Clemson went fifteen, and I was not gonna guess twenty
twenty out.
Speaker 2: They're three, They're three on the list.
Speaker 3: There was somebody online that told me that that Clemson
team would have been twenty nineteen LSU by three touchdowns.
Speaker 7: I mean they almost play.
Speaker 2: I mean, it would have been fantastic if we could
somehow get those teams to play. Like, I'm not saying
who I would guarantee win, but I just twenty as
an astis like bottom line, Yeah, I get what they did.
It was incredible, But Saban handled chaos better than anyone.
Speaker 8: Imagine that.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4: I don't even want to engage in that because I
know it's.
Speaker 2: Like west Ross Chip is not a good guy, literally
a Satanist from what I'm hearing. Yeah, exactly exactly. I agree.
Only somebody who wears some Chitan could put that list together.
So they got Yeah, eighteen Clemson, four, twenty two Georgia
excuse me, eighteen clips of three, twenty two Georgia five,
and twenty one Georgia.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, when we have these conversations, team,
I don't want it to sound like we're just the
LSU guys Like I don't.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why we can never get in these conversations corners,
and I.
Speaker 3: Don't usually don't engage with them, but even like going
back to the great Miami teams which were so so good,
I do realize that, and I think the Miami teams
are the only ones that can even be put in
the same category as twenty nineteen LSU. But at the
end of the day, if I'm choosing a team led
by Ken Dorsey, Mac Jones or Joe Burrow, true, I'm
gonna go Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2: True, just I am.
Speaker 8: Every single time.
Speaker 3: Triple Crown winner, top MVP candidate list goes on and on,
and something that doesn't get talked about. All of those
linemen too, those offensive linemen played in the NFL. Yeah,
four of them are still playing in the na IS.
Speaker 2: Austin Deculus still in the NFL Saints, Wow, unbelievable, dude.
Speaker 8: The only one that's not playing is Sadiq Charles who retired.
Speaker 3: Yeah like medically, Yeah, Lloyd's still playing, d Louz still playing,
at Ingram's still playing, Anthony Bradford's still playing, so even
the backup, I mean, he's still playing shout out.
Speaker 2: When nine even last year. So all right, so let's
get into the is. Joel clatt vision for college football.
First off, he says he wants to nationalize out of
conference scheduling, which I'm I'm I'm down for. I do
think it's going to be interesting having people complained about
you gave us this game, you gave us that game.
But like I would kind of like out of conference
schedule to be taken out of the eighties hands because
they've obviously shown what they care about most is for
the most part, scheduling some cupcakes whatnot. He believes every
conference should play nine conference games, which I think like
everybody agrees with. Even the SEC is something because it
makes more money. But the hang up remains ESPN right,
Fox and CBS paid the Big ten so much money
for that ninth game, ESPN refused to reopen their books
and negotiations to do so that remains a hang up there.
Like I think everybody, since logically Jake wants everybody to
play nine conference games, it's a win for everybody else.
The only people it's not a win for is like
the Mark Stoops of the world, who try to stack
another cupcake win to to get to the ball.
Speaker 8: A couple of things. One don't take a straight at
Mark stupid.
Speaker 2: That not even that's not do you we know that
that is a reported fact, so true or false?
Speaker 8: So listen, I'm gonna tell you so.
Speaker 3: Jimbo again, who does radio with me every Tuesday afternoon,
I asked him that question.
Speaker 8: He said, none.
Speaker 3: Those coaches want to add another SEC game, So nobody.
Way said, some might tell you they wanted to. He's like, nobody,
And I get why.
Speaker 8: The coaches wouldn't. But the coaches don't make those decisions.
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 2: That seems weak, But think.
Speaker 3: About the pressure of the SEC and the hot season
the SEC, and you're thinking one more potential loss there
if justn't one to ninth game. I don't want to
be my coach. Get your soft balls out of it. Okay,
I'm with you, but they're thinking of their livelihood.
Speaker 2: I would.
Speaker 3: I want all the SEC games well mashed potato nuts.
Havn't a get out of here. Twenty twenty was awesome
those ten SEC games.
Speaker 8: Now's it?
Speaker 3: Look, I don't love directional school. You either, I get ready,
but the coaches aren't behind it right now. And like
you said, Greg Sakie's not going to be behind it
until ESPN ponies up.
Speaker 2: No, the coach has doesn't matter. All that actually matters.
Speaker 8: Look, if I was in charge of scheduling, I would
do it.
Speaker 3: Nine conference games, two group of five games in a
Power four game. We ain't playing the FCS, and I
am not trying to throw shade at the FCS. I
know those games mean a lot to them. They do,
but they don't mean anything to these power programs. Nobody
wants to pay their money to go see Mercer. Nobody
wants to pay their money to go see UT Chattanooga. Right,
get rid of those games added to the group of five.
How much more would you rather see LSU two lane? Yeah,
other than LSU Northwestern State.
Speaker 2: Mark Covey says, the committee showed you it doesn't have
to play a harder schedule, So why.
Speaker 9: I do it?
Speaker 2: This is something so first off, we're gonna get into
plaoff changes that would fight against this notion. But this
is also something that I just continue to push back on. Yes,
they're well. First off, all the examples of teams not
making it because of the hard schedule was all conference
losses first off, first and foremost, full stop. Secondly, there's
a lot of teams that benefited through the years by
winning big out of conference games. Look at Texas last season.
Why was there never any debate about whether or not
Texas in that Final four because they had the Alabama win? Like, yeah,
when you play one of those big games, it is risky,
but if you win, there is reward as well. So no,
I don't get gas lit by Gregory BYRNE and it's
sad ass telling you you didn't schedule anybody, greg Get
out of here. Now. How you fix it is the
fourteen team playoff. And this is something that we've talked
about a lot on this show. I've talked about a
lot on Snaps. This is something that had a ton
of momentum when they're talking about after twenty twenty six,
after next season, because it's all gonna get reworked what
to do. And we've always talk about the fourteen team
playoffs being this four auto bids for the SEC, four
for the Big ten, two for the Big twelve, two
for the ACC and then whatever have you want to
do the last couple.
Speaker 3: It's like not whatever, right, What's a huge advantage about
this is that yeah, whatever, like I said, four four
two two notre name group five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it says the highest ranked champion of the other leagues,
so yes, and then one at large could be no name,
could be somebody else. But the point is this is
only based on your conference finish, so you can schedule
whatever the hell you won out a conference. It will
not affect your ability to make the playoffs, only navigating
your league well, which makes a lot of sense because
at the end of the day, this is supposed to
be a filtering system where we take the best teams
from each league and then put them together, where the
clap pitch is different as and becomes more interested me
in somebody that I have not heard Jake in this
the big ten in the SEC would play a championshi
game between one and two. The winner we get a buy.
But then three and six and four and five would
play a game to get in as those final two spots.
So this year that would have been LSU at Tennessee
in Alabama at all miss to get into the final
two playoff spots. It's pretty intriguing, man, And it's very objective.
There's no subjectivity. There's no oh, well, we think game control,
but none of that crap. It is where did you
finish in the standard? Yeah, and then you're doing a
tournament to get into the tournament. I really like it, dude.
The aces in the Big twelve would have one in
four play in three and two play and the winners
would go. Like this year, that would have been Arizona State.
You know, it would have been Colorado at Arizona State
and BYU at Iowa State, with the winners going.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that sounds pretty awesome, dude.
Speaker 8: So in this scenario, I don't know, the conference championship
games are done.
Speaker 2: No, in this scenario, in this pitch, they would play
the conference championship one team whenever we get to buy
losers still in. But then also the other teams are
all playing an extra game as well because they're doing
their playing game thing. Okay games, So covering it's fun.
Speaker 3: So covering the entire playoffs so far, and I've been
a lot of different cities, talk to a lot of
different fans and coaches, and it's the first.
Speaker 2: Year, so it can change. It's new. They're exhausted, yes,
oh of course. Also in this pitch, I think there's
an extra round of home games, so they would extend
the home games to the first two rounds of the
of the playoffs, so the teams that would get a
bye would get a home game the first time they played,
So maybe cutting down a little bit on some of
the travel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just man, I would want it for the
first two weeks, even in a twelve team playoff.
Speaker 8: It's just these teams are going across the country.
Speaker 3: It's just it's too much. It is it has been
a lot for them. The time between the games too.
Why do we need ten days between the semis and
the finals? Yeah, it's too much, Like just keep it
like a normal week. There's so much time in between.
I mean, we started this thing a long time ago
and we're just dragging it out and dragging it out.
And if you're a team that played in the first round,
which both of the teams in the National Championship Game
they did that, talking about a long process with a
lot of moving parts to get to the end.
Speaker 2: It's weird too, because it's not like the NFL where
you're traveling necessarily or are they now traveling like the day.
Speaker 3: Before or have they treated every week like a bowl week?
Are they there like two or three days before? So
every round they've treated a little bit different. So the
first round of the playoff. The visiting team treated it
like a like no, no, no, oh, okay, like an
NFL trip. Oh what you're talking when they played at
a stadium, at a stadium for sure.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: The next week in the quarterfinals, they treated it a
little bit like a bull trip. It was I think
three days before time because we had a media day
for the semi finals. We didn't really have we didn't
have a media day portion of it like we did
in the quarterfinals, and so they gave them kind of
that off, and so they went a couple of days
ahead of time, not the full week ahead of time.
Now with the National Championship game, like I'm leaving today,
I'm leaving this afternoon because there's media day tomorrow and
the game's not until Monday, so they're treating that as
a longer trip.
Speaker 8: So they've kind of switched it up every round. So
I mean, there's a lot to work on.
Speaker 2: I just continue, I will continue to bang the drum
for a system that just objectively rewards the results. And
this does that, and it's only through conference standings, so
you can get all your big out of conference matchups
you want, and it naturally filters to where each of
the best teams from each conference meet in a big tournament.
How does that not make sense? Time will tell more

Speaker 7: Always questions.
Speaker 9: Welcome in to the best morning Sports this show Around
the Bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 2: All Right, so we talked about Title nine and the
Department of Education weighing in on how the anti trust
lawsuit revenue sharing would work under Title nine, and apparently
the Department of Education as it stands today is ruling
that the revenue sharing will not take market value into
account and will have to be split even leap down
the middle fifty fifty between male and female. Where this
becomes interesting is I've talked to a bunch of people
that have been, but you know, working on this for
LSU in terms of revenue sharing. I'm talking to people
who worked at other schools as well, and pretty much
a man I've been asking like, what's actually gonna happen
on the Title nine front, and everything up until this
point has been frankly, we don't know, a lot of
we don't know.
Speaker 8: And that's not the people that's.
Speaker 2: All over the place. That is schools on the West coast.
Everybody talked to the nswer is we don't know. Well,
now a ruling has come down. What's interesting about that though,
is a lot of the schools have been planning. I
think I'm giving about it was like seventy five percent
of football, the next biggest percentage to the men's basketball,
and then divving up the rest after that. So this
ruling quite literally puts the entire anti trust settlement lawsuit
potentially in peril in a weird spot where will it
actually get enacted? Doesn't pass muster? Is it legal? Now?
That said, in terms of real life politics involving themselves
in college football, this is a Department of Education under
President Biden ruling this. But when President Trump gets back
into office, I would imagine that whoever his head of
the department is could rule differently. So it's definitely something
to keep an eye on because if it sticks, this
is something that up to this point everybody has not
been budgeting or planning for. They have been saying that no,
they're going to do it based on market value in
terms of how they revenue share.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's gosh, there's change all the time, but
it feels like this is significant with what we're about
to see and you're seeing everybody try to get everything
in order, but like this was a portion of it,
Like you said, tea, Like nobody really knew what to
do with this, Like do I plan for this?
Speaker 8: Do I just think that it's going to be a
non fact?
Speaker 3: I don't because even like the best reporters, like national
reporters that break news and have the insight, I would
ask them, They're like, I have no idea, nobody.
Speaker 8: Knows and they usually have all the tea and they
didn't have any of it.
Speaker 2: Again, it remains a bit insane that college football is
the country's second biggest sport and yet due to a.
Speaker 3: Wild series of factors and events and at its core,
a system that was flatly illegal but we all just
accepted was not for one hundred years that all of
this has led to the country's second most valuable sports,
second most watch sport, to the NFL not having a
ruling body, not having any sort of council at the
top that can make decisions with any sort of weight.
Speaker 2: Behind it, very odd times, very odd times. But this
is definitely something to watch going forward. I don't want
to make any broad tubing proclamations today because it is there.
These are rulings kind of built on the sand, if
you will, so who knows how firm the foundation is,
if they'll stick. But as it stands today, the Department
of Education ruling that title line applies to revenue sharing
and it must be split fifty to fifty, which again
is not something that any school that I have talked
to was planning on doing. So we'll see.
Speaker 8: You couldn't even palm that basketball.
Speaker 2: I can pull that ball, thank you. I can definitely pay.
It's a tiny basketball, guys, and I have completely average
nine inch hands and uh maybe even above average, and
I can pull that basketball. Thank you. Don't listen to Jake.
Speaker 3: I just dropped it. I was trying to catch you
without looking at it, saying somebody likes to make a
you know, made a short joke earlier. I mean, I'm
above average height.
Speaker 2: No, you're just you're just uh, you're just just a freak.
You know, you got these big hands, this big old,
just concrete block of a head. Yeah, you look like
when you go. You know when you watch like six
year olds in full pads and they're running around, it
looks like they're like their bible heads are yeah, like
bobble heads, Like their heads are dragging them. They're dragging
their heads along the ground as they run. That's you.
Speaker 5: So something like something like buy you traditions or like
a an I collective. Yeah, so they're saying it's considered
financial athletic financial assistance and that's why it's title nine
because it's like the school.
Speaker 2: That's like, well, the revenue share is going to be
coming directly from the school. I think they've skirted up
to this point is because the collectors were upside of
the school, right, But a lot of the collectives you're
wonder out getting brought in house. So I have no idea, guys,
I'm not a lawyer, but but just know that that's
where we stand today. All right. When we get back,
let's let's let's wrap up our number two and then
we got champagnechename, and let's start taking off the weekend

we have on the SEC basketball doctet this week? Guys?
Sorry didn't I tell you? I was going to ask
you this? Right, we came back on air Taylor as
our resident SEC basketball correspondence, LANDI, you're only allowed to
talk about women's basketball. Okay, what do you what?
Speaker 4: Are you surprised I'm allowed to even talk about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: Look, you know, hey, Trump's for the gay You know,
what are you?
Speaker 7: What are you asking? Who do they play? Yeah?
Speaker 6: I played Texas A and M tomorrow night, that's right,
and then the women play noon on Sunday.
Speaker 2: In conversation, yes, it is at Texas A and No
text A and AM really good this year.
Speaker 7: The rank number eleven.
Speaker 6: They're coming off a tough loss, but it was too
you know, a rank Kentucky team. So you got a
tough stretch coming up. So you go to college station,
you go to Tuscaloosa, then you're home against number one Auburn.
Speaker 7: I mean that's your next three.
Speaker 2: And then Sunday. Who who do the women play Florida?
There you go, Thank you London. Then the Pelicans guys,
winners of two in a row, three of their last four.
They got the jazz in this Smoothie King Center tonight.
This is for the re NBA sickos. You would have
watched two ten and thirty teams jack up fifty threes.
Hell yeah, let's go just really just I mean, it's
it's the NBA equivalent of just being like a pig
and rolling around in your own excrement, you know, just
loving it, getting in the slot, getting funky, just cuz
find a little mud pile and peeing in it and
then diving face first. To live like a pig, to
be so free, wouldn't it be wonderful? Imagine thought about it.
Imagine if your taste buds were such that slop you
were like, hell yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Because I mean, if you had to pig, I mean,
if you're feeding pigs, just feed him whatever, right, you
can feed him anything. I think you feed a pig anything, right,
You feed a pig. Pig probably can't know. Goat will
eat anything, right, I think.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of always been the impression that I've
gotten from cartoons and stuff. But I'm saying, like, what
if you craved just like rotten apples? Do you know
how easy that would be to feed yourself? Like ooh,
look at that dumpster. I'm about to go in on
that day. Like that's a pig life, you know, it's
a free life, an evolved life. These are things that
happened to you. Also, pigs are smart.
Speaker 8: We forget that, are they?
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 2: It's why the story of Legion is so impactful in
the Bible, because i mean, look, you get one sheep
to run off the cliff. All the other sheep are following, Yeah,
they're dumb, you know, one pig. The other pigs are
going like, that's a dumb pig. But Legion, being a
not what's the word I'm looking for, being a multitude
of demons, was able to infect an entire herd of
pigs and make them run off a cliff. It's crazy. Now,
I wouldn't want to be a pig infected by a demon,
but I'd like to be a pig until it came
time to make breakfast. Unfortunately, what animal wouldy'all like to be?
Speaker 7: What animal? Would I like to tiger.
Speaker 2: Kind of a lonely existence.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be.
Speaker 3: A wolf because we're going to be in a pack, right,
We're going to be in a pack, We're going to
be in the fox hole.
Speaker 8: But I'm still going to be the alpha.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Because to your point when you said tigers are lonely,
like Jake's got a couple of his boys with him,
like he's not alone.
Speaker 2: What about you, Launder, What animal do you want to be?
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, A tiger too, I think Jesus.
Speaker 2: Christ guys at the showers. A pig. I just told you.
A pig.
Speaker 7: It's the grossest animal in the world.
Speaker 4: A hippo, it's worse than a tiger.
Speaker 2: Tiger's boring. Often bench
